marie's first bithday party

we had a birthday tea party - which didn't really have much of a tea party - but it was fun anyway :) here are a few pics and a video of marie eating her little teapot cake

her little teapot cake - i think it turned out too cute!

i think she enjoyed the paper more than the presents!

getting a good look at her new phone

while staying at my mom's house for the weekend, eben was playing with chris (my sister michelle's fiance). he was looking for a specific toy that he couldn't find and chris said that if he cleaned up then he might find it. he left the room for a minute and when he came back, this is what eben said to him.

"CHRIS! i thought i told you to clean this up!"

HAHAHA can't imagine where he's heard that before.

we had to take eben to the cardiologist this week to check out his heart murmur (which is perfectly fine - a small hole that will heal up on its own - but anyway) and at the office they had a fish tank. eben goes up to it and says

"i see 1...2...3 fish swimming. and 1 dead fish. ooo and another fish is hiding."

me: "dead? are you sure? maybe its sleeping"

eben: "nope, its dead. hey daddy, will you read me this book please?"

such a sensitive little man. HA. the fish really was dead.

emily jane's new thing is to say she loves things. but she pronounces love as lob :) it's pretty cute.

i hung up decorations for marie's birthday party and she came in and said
"oooo wow! mommy, i lob those. what are those?" HA

we had mcdonalds a few times this week (oops) and she said every time
"mommy i lob chicken nuggets" HA

and when i picked her up from grandma's house
"that's my mommy!!! i lob my mommy."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

emily jane also caught a cold this week so she's been coming up to me and saying

"mommy, my needs a tissue. my got yuky buggers." hee hee not boogers - buggers. :)

Marie's Birthday!

my all-time favorite quote from eben:

mommy, i love you, cuz you're always right.

HA HA!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

emily jane (singing): twinkle twinkle little star...uuuuumm...next time won't you sing with me!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

eben: mommy! you look like a monkey!!

me: what?! i look like a monkey???

eben: yes! you ate a banana and thats why you look like a monkey!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

me (looking at emily jane wearing a backpack and carrying her baby): emily jane, are you going to the grocery store?

emily jane: no mommy, i'm going to the movie store.

eben (in all seriousness): the movie store?! emily jane will you get me a game from the movie store?

emily jane: no, not today.

HAHA

on thursday, eben had to have his 4 year shots. when i told him where we were going on wednesday night, he said,

"i'm not going to let the doctor give me shots mommy, you hear me?!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

emily jane: mommy! i got an owie!

me: what happened?
emily jane: the wall hit me!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

this morning at bonclarken, my parents came over to the house we were staying at to help me get the kids to breakfast, when emily jane saw them she opened the door and said:

"welcome! come inside! come inside!"

she is too precious! :)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

marie is now in copy cat mode - there are two things that she does that crack me up. if you growl at her, she growls back. every time! and if you sing and "bobble" your head, she'll sing and bobble her head right back. it is too funny. i'll try to get it on video and post it - it's too cute not to share. :)

our georgian blizzard
