Our Precious Gifts

Abbi and I went to Trent Duval's viewing tonight. For those of you who didn't know Trent, he was an AMAZING boy! He fought a long, hard battle with Leukemia. He was only 8 years old with a testimony of a 20 year old. He was an amazing little missionary. I was glad that Abbi was talking to me about random things. She completely distracted me. I didn't want to be emotional for the family's sake. However, the second I walked out the door I completely lost it.

I'm not sure who's child was crying hysterically..but that brought back the memories of me being only 5 years old, attending the viewing of my little friend Mandy.

Remember what a precious gift our children are, and hug them a little tighter!!

Funny Things

7/22/09 We were at the store and I pointed out a bedspread that I liked. Kaleb says, "Mom, that's Goth." I giggled and said asked him what he thought Goth was. He told me that "Goth means you like black."

3/30/2009 We were at Target and Kali saw a new bobble head, "Mom, I want the "cowpitter". Which is catapillar in Kali-nese.

1/15/2009 Kaleb says, "Mom, is that toy gonna come out of my paycheck?"

12/22/2008 Abbi "Hey, it's the Eve, of the Eve, of Christmas Eve!"

12/19/2008 Kaleb asked "Mom, is coloring an exercise for your hand?"

12/15/2008 Kali says, "Ooops mom...sorry it was an ACCI-DIDN'T." The funniest part, is that she's been saying that for about 3 years. I finally had to tell her that the word is ACCIDENT.

11/2/2008 Kaleb was working on his spelling words. I told him to spell 'we'. He says, "W-i-i."

I was making dinner, when Abbi says, "Mom, I need a fork," and Kaleb says, "Mom, can you get me a cup?" and Kali says, "guys, she's not an octopus!" 10/19/2008

When Kaleb was about 2, I was ordering at Sonic, and I ordered grill cheese sandwich's for the kids. Kaleb began crying, and I asked him what was wrong. He told me, "I don't want it girl cheese, I want it boy cheese!"

This lady in front of me was driving terribly. I kept saying "Lady!" Well, I finally gunned the car to go, and the drinks from McDonalds, spilled all over the car. Kali says, "Her tripped us!" Kali was 4 years old.

When Kali was 3, she found a pair of her shorts in her drawer. She put them on. It was still winter, so I told her she had to wear pants. Kali said, "I am. Little pants mom."
