Happy Mother's Day, Mommy! You are the best and I am so blessed to have you.


Ok, enough shenanigans :)


Kellan was in the middle of a story when a car pulled out right in front of me. I said, "really, dude!" (To the driver) and Kellan said "Yes!" and continued with his story...


When we say our prayers in the morning we all say "Amen!". Kellan didn't say it, so I looked at him and said, "Amen, Kellan". He looked at me and said "thank you". Camden, of course, found this hilarious and could not stop laughing. Two seconds later Kellan piped up with, "remember when I said 'thank you'"? I mean, I don't have the greatest memory in the world, but c'mon!


Last night Kellan woke up just sobbing. I ran in his room and he was crying and saying "OWIE!" I was freaking out and checking him all over to see what could have happened. I kept asking him what hurt. When he finally calmed down enough, he managed to sob out that the red shark bit him. As I seriously looked around the room for a red shark I realized he must have been dreaming. When I told Kellan he was dreaming that seemed to calm him down and he fell right back asleep (after asking for a drink of regular milk of course), with no memory of this event in the morning.


Camden has sight words in Kindergarten. These include 'and', 'his', 'at', 'be'. After seeing his brother in Kindergarten for 9 months, Kellan has decided that he now has sight words from school too. These sight words include 'mountain', 'Cave Creek' and 'Deer Valley'. What a preschool!...


Kellan's kind of figuring out how the family tree works. He understands that when he has kids, I'll be their Grandmother. I said, "you can choose to have your kids call me Grandma or Grammy or whatever you think they'd like!". He replied, "I'm going to have them call you Weather". Alrighty then...


The boys are so good and we always say our prayers in the morning on the way to school, I happened to look in the rearview mirror and noticed they were holding hands as we said our prayers. That's why I keep them!


The boys love the apple slices from McDonald's. Camden made a comment that he likes them because the crust (skin) is cut off. This made Kellan realize there was no 'crust' on the apples and he suddenly was mad about it. He declared, "I don't like McDonald's because they cut of the crustas"...


The boys were talking to twins. The twins were telling the boys they were born 7 minutes apart. Kellan decided to tell them he was 7 minutes older than Camden. When Camden and the twins looked at Kellan quizzically, Kellan widened his eyes and said, "I'm serious! See?! There's a 7 on my forehead!"...
