Quotes by my kids....

Pierce: Daddy, lets lick tongues that will be funny.
Austin: Uh, no


Pierce was playing with the little girl I watch and Austin was the monster. They ran in Pierce's room and were hiding under the covers.

Pierce: Pew, Pew, that was close!


This one's an oldie but a goodie:
About a year ago Austin was doing some sort of housework and most women will agree that's a turn on!
Deanne: Oh baby you're turning me on!
Emma came up to be and started twisting something on my arm.
Deanne: What are you doing?
Emma: I'm turning you on!

Thursday nights are always filled with gourmet meals at our house due to gymnastics running till almost 7 p.m. so tonight was no exception, Spagettios with meatballs, Pierce didn't want his meatballs so I told them they were my favorite.
Emma: How do you know how they taste?
Deanne: I used to eat them when I was a kid.
Emma: They didn't have these then.
Deanne: Oh, that's right they hadn't even invited the can yet.
Emma: And you didn't live in a house like this. You lived in a log cabin.

Pierce: Mommy where are your toys?
Emma: Moms don't have toys. they only have cleaning to do.


Emma: Mom is this a quick Sunday?
Deanne: A what?
Emma: You know, quick Sunday.
Deanne: Do you mean FAST Sunday?
Emma: Yes, quick Sunday

Background, we were living with my aunt a few years ago while our house was being built. It was a Sunday, Emma was 3 and had just had a lesson in Sunday school on the Holy Ghost. I had just caught her under a table taking apart a fake flower that belonged to my aunt.
Deanne: Where was the Holy Ghost when you were doing that?
Emma: He was sleeping!

In the beginning....

O.K. Kendra has been bugging my for months about getting into the blogging world so here I go! I'm really busy these days and don't know how often I'll be able to do this but I'll try.

This week has been nuts, Austin left for work Tuesday morning and didn't return till Friday night long enough to kiss me and go to work again as the medic at some sporting events and then over time tomorrow. Then next week he's off to Vegas for some training at a military base. I've been babysitting just two days a week (that's enough) and between taking Pierce and Ashley (the girl I watch) to preschool at the elementary school and Emma to first grade I'm surprised I haven't made ruts in the sidewalk I feel like I spend my entire day pulling a wagon.

I have also been working for a company, Castle Book Outlet it's a long story but basically I put together fundraisers and post used books online for them. It's nice because I work when the kids go to bed. That's why I don't have time for this, I'm supposed to be working right now. Also a friend and I are starting a business. It is a twice annual children's consignment sale our first one will be in March. We have a web sight that is currently under construction www.consignrepeatafterme.com check it out in a couple of week. We think it's going to do really well, we've had a lot of positive feed back already.

I'll try to post some pics soon. Deanne
