A Couple More...

Last night at bedtime...

Dad: "Hey guys, remember that prayer time is not play time is it?"

Boys: "No."

Pause.

Davis punches Dad in the mouth whilst grinning from ear to ear.

Later...

Aidan: "I don't believe in God."

Dad: "Why not?"
Aidan: "I can't see him."

Dad: "He's real, even though we can't see him. He is Spirit."

Aidan: "Oh, you mean he's the clouds?"

Dad: "No, he's bigger than the clouds, he made the clouds and everything else in the sky."

Aidan: "Where is God?"

Dad: "Well... he's everywhere because he is Spirit."

Aidan (pointing up): "Is he up there?"

Dad: "He's higher than the sky."

Aidan: "Is he in outer space?"
Dad: "Well... he's higher than outer space. Heaven is not on earth, in the sky or outerspace."

Aidan: "Oh, then I don't want to go to heaven."

Dad: "Why?"

Aidan: "To get to heaven I would have to go through outer space and I don't want to go through outer space."

Dad: "Why?"

Aidan: "Aliens."

A Couple More for Grammie...

Grammie and Pop Pop were visiting a couple weeks ago and during their stay our boys dropped these...

Davis, when seeing the snow leaving us, "Grammie look, the grass is melting!"

When Grammie got her greek salad at Panera, Aidan saw the cheese on top and said, "No Grammie! You don't put popcorn on salad!"

Some Catching Up....

Sorry it has been awhile since you have seen new pictures on here. I am going to try to catch you all up on our lives, yes, even the parents.

Christian has been busy with his awesome bball team this year. They have a great record and have won multiple tournaments, got 2nd at the state tourney and are now on their way to the Lutheran Grade School Nationals in IN in 2 weeks.












Kate is getting bigger, this pic was from last Friday! Less than 5 weeks to go!
















Aidan is learning lots at school and plays bball whenever he can at home. We need to put a cement patio in our backyard this spring so he can play bball out side. (Anybody want to help?)












Davis is potty training, and doing pretty good. He even stays dry most nights! He also loves his new sleeping bag he got from Granny for his bday! He even takes naps in it.












Halle is turning into a little girl. Talking aaalll the time! She is definitely a fighter when it comes to her brothers pushing her around. She is going to be one tough chick! She also still looks just like her mommy did, and is still determined to sit on mommy's lap (which doesn't exsist anymore). But, she is a Daddy's girl for sure!












We are definitely tired of winter here and loved having a 60 degree day last Friday, we took advantage and went to the zoo. Where a lion surprised Halle by coming to the glass and terrified her! It was a lot of fun!

I think that is it. Maybe more soon! Love you all!

A couple funny sayings from Halle and Davis...

Halle has been talking up a storm, now as soon as she learns English we'll all be able to talk to her.

The funniest thing she says, so far, is Davis' name. She can't pronounce the "D", instead it comes out "Gee". She also pronounces the "v" more like a "z", which turns Davis into Jesus. It can get a tad bit comical when she is chasing after or looking for Davis and saying, "Jesus, Jesus, Jesus." It is also a hoot when she points at Davis in pictures and says, "Jesus."

**********

Meanwhile, Davis has outgrown his pajamas so he is now wearing Aidan's old PJ's. This morning, I was complimenting him on how much he had grown now that he was wearing Aidan's PJ's.

"Yeah," he says. "Aidan wears 5T and I wear 3T 'cause I am too big for my old jammies. When Aidan gets too big for his jammies, he can wear my old jammies."

When I (C) mentioned that Aidan would be too big for his old jammies, Davis says, "Maybe he can wear Mommy's jammies... she wears MT."

....Or What?

Am I a Preschool Boy...or What?
















Aidan came home from school today with a dirty shirt and a dirty face! Can you guess where the dirt came from?
















He is also giving spelling a try!












Do I like Spiderman....or What?
















Davis loves his spiderman...tries to wear the PJs everynight!

Am I a cute receptionist....or what?
















Halle saw Mommy working on the phone and wanted to be a Big girl too!
