Turkey


Today is the first sunny day after almost a week of terrential rains. It makes it hard to be inside. Tony and I had lunch on the beach yesterday and we saw two wild turkeys on the hill behind us. I've been thinking about teaching again for some reason.

Lincoln & London & Laine



2003
Laine was in the bedroom and Heather asked her if she wanted to go to Aunt Marchels, she said Yeahhhh! And see Keaton? Heath said yes, Yeahhhh and see Cannon Yes, yeahhhhh and see Kinsey? Yes, Shes such a cute little baby, and see Uncle Brennen Yes, Hes such a cute little baby. Heath said "he's not a baby", and she said oh yeah hes such a cute little guy!"

She is always saying Mom you be " " and I'll be " ". Then she proceeds with the play. One day she said to Grandpa Gleason, as he was letting her play with this little violin, Grandpa, I'll be Austin, you be the Man, Then She changes her voice and says "Now I will play for you" and she does! Sometimes its Mom you be the scarecrow, I'll be Toto, Then she changes her voice to a deep voice and says " Scarecrow, where is Dorothy?" One day its you be the girl, I'll be the teacher.

Laine came walking out with Heaths cell phone and said I've got to call my friends.. When Heath asked her who she was going to call she said Tenesha, She's so beautiful.

Laine came into Marc's house and out walked Keat all dressed up with guns, racoon hat, paraphanelia hanging everywhere, She put her hand over her mouth, started giggling, then said Keaton thinks he is Davy Crocket... about 1/2 hr. later here comes Laine in the same get up.

4/02/2003 Justus was petting the dogs, Laine came up to him and said " Be careful with our dogs, okay?

4/02/2003 Heath was reading Lainey a story. There was a picture of a beautiful little cottage. Laine said " Can I jump in there?" Heath says "if you want to" "Do I need Steve?" (a cartoon character that makes people jump in books)

9/13/2003 Laine went to Heather and sadly asked why everyone keeps telling her to “stop growing.” Heather suggested that she respond by saying “is it true that you really want me to stop growing?” She tried it out on her auntie Karla a few days later and Karla laughed and said “no, okay. It’s not really true”

9/13/03 London lowers his eyebrows and looks at you through the top of his eyes

9/13/03 Lincoln asked Nena if she was going home when she said yes he said, “Yah?.. hmm you pretty tired?” as he leaned one arm on the table.

3/28/05 The day after Easter and Laine got breakfast in bed: Waffles and a hard boiled egg. She was in a princess night gown. When Laine cracked open the egg she asked Heather, “Does this egg have the yoke in it still?” and Heather said “Yes it does” and Laine said, “Get me my lawyers.” Then a few minutes later she asked Heather, “Mom, what is a lawyer?”

Cannon Age 4


Age 4- Cannon saw his mom with her turban towel on her head, and he said “ hey mom, did you know that if you roll it, twist it, stick it through the loop you hair will dry 50% faster?” Marc says, “where did you hear that Cannon?
“I saw it on the mercial”

When Marc took the boys in the store, Cannon wanted some water balloons, he asked for them, and she told him that she said they could have one treat, if he wanted that foir his treat he could. He said oh wow, I been dreaming of this my whole life”

Marc came in from outside with cold hands and put her hands on Cannons Belly, and said I ' m so glad you love me cause I know you will get my hands warm, Can turned to his friend Hayden and says "Hayden you are so lucky you don't have a mom that loves you this much," and Hayden said"Yeah...."

One night Marc was covering Cannon up and he said, don't cover the monkey, he has fur, ( his stuffed monkey he sleeps with) he will catch on fire if he gets too hot... Don't cover me up either, thats why I have to come in to your bed, because I get so hot I will start on fire if I don't cool down.

Aunt Tenesha tended the kids when Marc and Brenen went to Vegas, When they returned Cannon told her Aunt Nigh was crazy, she danced in the kitchen and threw socks at the window and let kinsey poop in the sink.

Brenen was reading the boys a bedtime story, Cannon interrupted and said "xcuse me dad" "yes Cannon, what is it?" If you would quit reading the Easter bunny would probably come sooner.

Marc ran over a skunk and the car stunk so bad they had to leave it out of the garage. They came out and said oh wow it still stinks> Can said. " Yup, that why we never want to hurt mother nature."

The boys had stayed overnight with Grandma Connie. Everyone had to go to the bathroom at the same time, so running for it Cannon came in as Grandma was finishing up. He said "Grandma your underwear don't have any back, Why don't your underwear have a back? Grandma said "Can sometimes women don't want their underwear to show through their levis, so they wear this kind." "Well yous better not poop your pants, they will never hold it, it will go down your legs. You know that's what underwear is for is to catch your accidents."

Cannon was over to Nina's Justus had a beer sitting on the table. Cannon went over to it and said. "My friend drinks beer" They didn't pay much attention to him, and in a bit he eases over and picks up the beer to sneak a taste... Nesh catches him and says "Cannon, what are you doing?" " He very innocently answers, "Oh, I thought it was Root Beer<"
