December 2008 Top Ten

10. Weston was playing with his good friend, Isaac Bradshaw when I heard him making some pretty interesting sound effects. "Chshshsh, I'm woman Spiderman." When I questioned him as to the sound, he said that he was turning from man Spiderman to woman Spiderman.

9. Abby thinking about her future said, "I want 4 or 5 kids because that's how much I think I can handle."

8. One day after picking Bastian up from kindergarten he was anxious to get home. We were dropping off the other carpool children (Ryen Hansbrow and Kye Bradshaw) when he was coaxing me to hurry saying, "I am TEN ELEPHANTS HUNGRY!"

7. Every time Weston sees a commercial, he runs into the master bedroom and tries to drag us to the TV saying, "I want that big dinosaur for Christmas, yeah," or, "I want that truck with a merry mote (remote) for Christmas," or "For Christmas I want those helicopters that fly with merry motes, yeah." He often says "yeah" after making a statement. It is the cutest thing.

6. Abby had just thrown up and was looking VERY pale. Despite her feelings of nausea, she pulled out a little humor and said while raising her arms very monster-like, "I'm the sicky ghost. I'm going to get you sick. Ooooohhhhh." Abby is a joy to be around even when she's sick.

5. While making dinner we were having a discussion about the different roles of men and women. Holding the priesthood came up and Hayden said of me, "You're never going to hold the priesthood." I told him he was right. Rob, pointing to himself said, "Sometimes she holds a BIG part of the priesthood--an overweight part of the priesthood."

4. Weston rubbing his leg said, "I have a headache on my leg."

3. After much persuasion from Abby, I entrusted her with the secret that I got Rob and ipod for Christmas to which she said, "I CAN'T WAIT to tell Dad." I fell for it and gave her a look of shock and disbelief. Laughing she said, "Just kidding, just kidding!"

2. We needed to run to the store and I told Weston to go get his boots and coat on. After a couple of minutes I said, "Okay, let's go." I rounded the corner to the mudroom to find Weston on all fours with boots on his feet AND his hands. "We've got to go," I said, to which he replied, "But I'm a doggy."

1. After apologizing to Hayden for raising my voice he said, "You're a good mom but just like the stock market goes low sometimes, so do you."
