Enjoying the MERRYWEATHER: Swimming lessons

The boys took swimming lessons again this summer. It takes them awhile to get used to it, but they love it and hopefully soon they can become good swimmers.

Colby-isms

"If you don't like pasta take a deep breath, then take another deep breath, then you will like it."

We were dancing in the kitchen and Colby asks "Mom, may I have this dance?"

"You have got to be kidding me."

Colby was playing a video game when he starts asking me for my help, I tell him to try to do it himself and he says "Come on mom your my girlfriend."

"It's serious."

"You have got to check this out."

Daddy: Colby will you hold these papers for me?
Colby: Sure, im great at holding things.

The other day we were walking through the store and we past by some flowers, and Colby stops to smell them and then pretends to sneeze.

While we were bowling I was kneeling by Ethan and Colby walked up to us and said "It's okay mom, you'll do better next time, it just takes practice".

Colby is reading a valentine card, and he comes to me and says, " Mom this doesnt make sense, it says be my knee." (Be Mine) 3-4-11

"I want to be a fireman so I can go through red lights." (7-11)

We were at the movie theater and a commercial for jeans came on, some of the jeans were the really torn up look, and Colby says, "She needs to go buy some new jeans". (8 - 11)

Ethan chit chat

"Colby, lets not tell Jeff that he doesn't have a truck."
(3 yrs)
After eating and having food all over his face I tell him its time to wash, and he says "But I did mommy."
(3 yrs)
A fire truck parked in front of our house and Ethan said "Where's the woo woos?" (sirens)
(3 yrs)
"I'm going to speak in Spanish, (starts speaking jibberish words)"
(4 yrs)
A lot of his sentences lately start with "When I was 3........".
(4 yrs)

We watched The Tales of Despereaux a few days ago, and since then Ethan will randomly start talking in an English accent. (6/11)

Words to Live By

"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It will all work out. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us...If we will put our trust in Him, if we pray to Him, if we live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers." --Pres. Gordon B. Hinckley
