Hailey as Stephanie from LazyTown

Tyler Tales

I was shopping for summer clothes for the kids, and so I asked what color of shorts Tyler likes.(He is somewhat picky). Here's what he said:

T: "Red and black".
Me: "What kind of material do you like?"
T: "Um....leather....and silk."

I am sad to say that Buddha the Lizard has died of unknown causes. Tyler is very sad, but said that Evan could play with him, and he hopes Max doesn't eat him.

Embarrassing

Everyday Emma has a "thing" about some little toy in our house. She has to carry it around, sleep with it, take it in the car, whatever. That is fine when it is a soft cuddly bunny Foo-Foo or a favorite book, but on Friday it was a pocketknife and a bottle of baby sunblock- the one where the dog is pulling down the baby's diaper and the bum shows. (I tried to take a picture). She says "bum-crack" every five seconds and points to it-thanks to Hailey. She got mad when I tried to take them away, although after this picture I grabbed the pocketknife and hid it. (It was extremely hard to open, but it's a weapon for crying out loud).

For Candace, Mom, Rachel, Carol, Jamie, and Kyle's future wife...The Stucki girls!!!

I made bacon, eggs and waffles for the kids this morning, and as I set down the bacon in front of Tyler, he looks at it and says, "I only expect burnt bacon from a Stucki girl!" ....and smiles really big. (Sounds like he is quoting Kyle.)

And then....
last night an hour after the kids bedtime, I turned around in my living room and Tyler is standing behind me with a cowboy hat and his shotgun and says:

(Tyler)"Give me your wallet!"
(me) "No Tyler..."
(Tyler) "Then can I borrow some change?"

Needless to say I cracked up and he was not in trouble for being out of bed an hour later. :)

$$$$

If you were given $1,000.00 right now, what would you buy?

Upchucky Cheese (We had our own part-aay, although I wish I was in Virgina with the rest of my family.)

Misc.

Tyler told me to take this picture at Paul's farewell party. It is his tough face.

Yea, Dad's home!

This was on March 8th. Snow still on the mountains. Summer is all year long for Hailey

Emma has to be carrying at least 3 things around everywhere we go. A papa-cy, ki-ki, and a bear or bunny.

Color changes

I wore brown capris, a yellow shirt and a grey tank top under yesterday. (Sounds wierd but it so wasn't). Dang cute, so I had to match my outfit to my blog. Love change. :)

My paint and redecorating project this week...(bathroom and my bedroom). This is the AFTER picture ha ha :)

More Tyler oddities from yesterday:

1)Me- "Tyler, you need to go clean your room".
Tyler- "Okay, Mom. Because I am a man of my word."

2)Me-"Hailey, why did (your friend) Riley put that blanket on the snow and get it wet?"
Hailey-"I don't know."
Tyler- "I am going to beat her up at school tomorrow".

(Of course Tyler is so gentle and warm-hearted he wouldn't beat up a girl!)
