Valentines Weekend

The boys both had their Valentines parties on Friday at school. I was able to make it to Jacob's party but not Jared's. They both came home with a bag full of candy and cards. We got them their first Webkinz that they have wanted for the last 6 months.
Saturday we all sleep in thanks to the boys and then we started cleaning house. With the help of my wonderful husband we cleaned the entire house front to back and top to bottom. About 4pm we headed to the church for our annual Valentines Steak Dinner. This is the 9th year for this and it has grown every year. I bet the first year we maybe had 10 couples and this year we had about 105 people. After we ate a bunch of us broke out the cards and played a game of Nert's. That is the best card game ever. We finally left around 9pm so we could get the kids in bed to wake up and go back to the church for Mass and Sunday school. It seemed like a short weekend but we got allot accomplished and had allot of fun.

Hope everyone had a good Valentines!

Funny things the boys do and say....

After I picked Jared up from daycare and we were on our way to get Jacob we were stopped at a stop light and Jared said, "that is a red bud tree" and sure enough it was. I said, "you are really smart...how did you know that?" He said that his daddy told him that this morning. He looked out the other window and he said "mommy look at that big tree" and I said "yes it is big" and he said "yeh it is called a green bud." (April 8th, 2010)
This morning Jared got in bed with us and when Kenny asked him why he got in our bed he said he had a night dream that's why. (March 12, 2010)
Last night when we got home Kenny was outside and Jacob said, "I am going to go play a Frank on Daddy." I asked him if he meant a prank and he said, "No a Frank". Kenny said that Jacob got him with the Frank. (August 25, 2009)
Jared told me the other day...."Excuse me...I Bert(Burped)".....So I said, "Hi Bert I am Ernie". Jared said, "Mommy you not Ernie and I said I Bert." (July 2009)
Jared calls his sippy cup a sikky cup. (July 13, 2009)
Jared says Bannana "Pannana" (March 16, 2009)
Lately, when you tell Jared something he says, "I know it!" I told him yesterday that he was getting big and he said "I know it." Silly boy (Feb 27, 2009)
Jacob has always had a hard time understanding the difference of Today and Tomorrow. If you ever say we are going to do something Tomorrow he says you mean "Today when we wake up."(February 6, 2009)
Today on our way home from the mountains Kenny was acting silly and Jacob said that he was being "Retaded" when asked what that meant he said he was when you recorded a movie. I asked him why he thought his daddy was "Retaded" and he said because he is coping me. (February 7, 2009)
Jared and I were in the car and I asked him if he wanted his drink and he said, "No Thanks" and I said, "You're so nice" and he said, "Yeah I am smart". Silly little boy. (January 16, 2009)
Today on the way to pick up Jacob from school....Jared had a piece of gum and he kept taking it out of his mouth....I told him if he took it out again I would make him throw it out the window and he said, "OK Mister"....I told him I am a Misses because I am a girl and he said,"You are not a girl you are a mommy woman"...So there you have it I am finally not a girl anymore! (January 8, 2009)
Sunday the boys were all dressed and waiting on me to get ready and Kenny said come on mommy lets go...and Jacob said, "Women...they will never learn." Boys...boys...boys...were is my girl that understands. :-) (January 4, 2009)
Yesterday, on the way to pick up Jacob, Jared said, "Hey mom...me and you go get bubba...how 'bout that" and I said ok...how 'bout that...and he said, "I told you twice mom." (January 6, 2009)
Jared has been saying, "In the dirt" about everything lately...he will say "I love you, in the dirt"...he adds it to the end of almost everything he says. Not sure how he got started on this but he thinks it is so funny. (December 2008)
The other night on the way home from Nana's, Jared said see my booboo and was showing us his bandaid. We asked Jacob what happened and he said, "Well, we were going outside when nana told us not to and Jared fell on the concrete, Wow I am making that up...really he just fell and scrapped his leg." (December 23, 2008)
Yesterday when the boys and I got home they wanted to go outside and play and I was going to clean my car. We went in the house to get them a snack and I changed clothes. I guess I was taking longer to change than Jacob thought I should be and he told me that I am just like a woman. I asked him why he says that and he said because I was taking forever. (December 2008)
When you see a little black and white animal running across the road and you are praying it does not raise its tail Jared will tell you that you are not seeing a sKunk but instead are seeing a sTunk. That's right those sTunks really stink. When Jacob was first learning to talk he also called sKunks...sTunks.(November 2008)
Lately, when Jared is trying to do something and cannot seem to get it to work he says, "This is driving me nuts". (November 2008)
In the mornings when Jared comes into my bathroom I say "oh no the Monster is here" and he always says, "no mommy, it's Jared"! (November 2008)
Jared also calls the Bathtub a Tubbub!(October 2008)
Today on the way to pick up Jacob from school....Jared had a piece of gum and he kept taking it out of his mouth....I told him if he took it out again I would make him throw it out the window and he said, "OK Mister"....I told him I am a Misses because I am a girl and he said,"You are not a girl you are a mommy woman"...So there you have it I am finally not a girl anymore!
