So we had Chinese take-out for dinner. It came with 3 boxes of white rice. The boys didn't eat their dinner and I was tired of arguing with them so I sent them upstairs to play. A while later Dallin comes downstairs and says "Can you clean me up?" He had white rice all over his hands. I look at the table and there are no containers of white rice on the table. I don't know how I missed a 3-year old taking 3 containers full of rice upstairs, but you can imagine what he did with them. When I went to look for them, I found 3 empty containers.

Me: Dallin did you drag your finger through the Chocolate on these rice crispy treats?
Dallin: No
Me: Do you realize there is chocolate on your lips?
Dallin: ok it was me.

Talking to my husband: Your son is driving me crazy! He asks me questions and when I give an answer he argues with me. Every time! It's annoying! If you didn't want my answer why did you ask the question!?!?
Mike: He will get a taste of his own medicine once he gets married.

Levi: Mom, I will always be your baby. Until I grow up and search the world for a wife. 

Mike: Where do you find a good wife these days?

Levi: In the jungle. 

Quote of the day-

“One thing I love about our home is that we get to have daddy as our dad.”
-Weston

2010
I had a massive headache.  Weston said the family prayer: "Heavenwy Fodder, fank you for dis day.  Mommy has a headache.  Thank you she feels better tomorrow..."  :)

Remember that time Dallin and Levi broke my floor lamp and so I found someone selling another one online and I drove out and bought it and Dallin and Levi broke it in the van on the way back to my house.

From 2009:
Overheard: *FLUSH* Bye bye poo-poo.  Where is the poo-poo going? Is the poo-poo going to Target? No Weston, the poo-poo is not going to Target.

Summer track out: Scene- Mom napping on the couch. Chaos happening upstairs. 

Dallin: (wakes mom) Mom? Weston has taken over my bedroom. 

Mom: Tell him you are going to his room and you are going to rub your butt all over his stuff. 

Dallin: (giggle) ok bye

Mom: (rolls back over)

*chaos continues upstairs*

Throwback to 2013
Weston's doctor says he is a little bit anemic. So I decided to make him one of those smoothies with spinach in it.

Day 1:
Smoothie: ice, blueberries, pineapple, banana, spinach, and cranberry juice.
Verdict: Delicious! Mom, Dad and Dallin drink it up. Weston hates it. He sits in front of it for hours before finally getting Dallin to take it outside and dump it for him.

Day 2:
Smoothie: ice, blueberries, pineapple, spinach and lemonade (because weston loves lemonade).
Verdict: Delicious! Even better than before. Mom Dad and Dallin drink it up.
Weston sits in front of it for a couple of hours. I'm sick of the power struggle. I start threatening to take away the computer if he doesn't drink it. He still refuses. I take away the computer for a week and still he won't budge. So finally I tell him that if he doesn't drink it, I'm going to dump it on his head.

The battle is over and Weston is showered. Hopefully, he won't question whether or not I will follow through with my threats. Also, I highly recommend this consequence. It's very therapeutic for mommy.

Dallin’s dinner prayer: Please bless the dinner to be so yummy.
Levi’s dinner prsyer: Thank you we have the best momma in the universe and the best daddy in the universe.

Levi: is this a play date with you or without you.
Me: without me.
Levi: YAY!
Me: I don't know what to think about that.
Levi: Sometimes moms just need alone time.

 Weston is a lover of words. Whenever he hears a new word he comes to me for the definition. Recently he asked me what “specific“ and “terrorize” mean. Then today he asked me what a “demustardifyer” is. I said “I don’t think that is a word”. He said “Yes it is. It’s something that cleans up mustard”.
(2012)

Dallin is home sick from school. I overhear him asking Levi for help walking. I go to see what happening and Levi is doing his best to hold up Dallin and walk him to the pantry for a snack. When Dallin saw me watching him he stopped being dramatic and started walking himself. But Levi still never let him go. He kept his hands around his middle and walked Dallin with his snack to the table.
I wish I had my phone on me so I could take a picture.

Funny words Levi mispronounces:
Lather- instead of rather
Jrump- instead of jump
Ta-posed- supposed

Me: Dallin! I mean Levi...
Levi: Whoever I am...

Overheard-

Levi: DALLIN! {sob} You made me bite my tongue!!

Dallin: Oh. New rule: Keep your teeth closed when we have a pillow fight. 

Levi is really good at memorizing random facts he hears. Maybe he should grow up to be a doctor. Levi: No! I want to be a robot salesman with Dallin!!!

TV: Find something that starts with R.
Levi: Radish
TV: Radish!
Levi: I said it first.

Overheard from a card game in the other room-
Levi plays a card and announces, “BOOM! SHAKA LAKA!!

Levi: I love you momma.
Me: I love you too.
Levi: I love you more!
Me: Not possible.
Levi: I love more than the size of space.
Me: Wow! That’s a lot!
Levi: (whispers) and space goes on forever.

Jan 2,  2001
Me: What is this white stuff all over the table???
Weston: (not looking up from his maze book) It's parmesan cheese.
Me: (pausing to process)  So.... while mommy and daddy where taking a nap, you had parmesan cheese for a snack?
Weston: (still not looking up from his book) Yes.
