Snippets

Last night nick watched a Tim Tebow thingy and Luke just showed me a picture of a football player that he drew for "Daddy's friend Tim Tebow that plays football and believes in Jesus" lol

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

Taylor's 18month bathing suits still fit. Her and Olivia may be sharing clothes soon. Lol

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

Ballet pics for Taylor tonight. Girl is ridiculous about the hair and makeup. She walks different as soon as its done. Def a girlie girl.

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

(Luke drops the Lego monster truck he made and pieces go everywhere!)
Luke: mommy!!!!!!!!!!
Taylor: Luke. Calm down. God didn't make Legos to last forever. They are supposed to come apart. That's how God created them to be. You can't get upset Luke. That's what they are made to do.

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

Pretty sure Olivia's crawling speed has doubled in the last couple days. Stinkers quick.

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

Olivia's finally showing signs of teeth. Maybe before she's 1. Four white spots. Looking like a top tooth is gonna break through first.

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

I just asked Olivia where her baby was. She crawled across the floor while saying over and over, baby, baby, baby....then she picks it up and hugs it and says, awe, baby

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

Luke: Taylor look at the monster truck I drew.
Taylor: wow, Luke, how did you do that? You have a gift from God! That's amazing!
Luke: No one even helped me Taylor.
Taylor: that's a gift from God Luke!

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

Taylor: mama, I think I do want a big girl bed like Madison has. (Twin) (with Sarah Santana)
Me: Really? I thought you said you wanted to stay in that bed (toddler) forever?
Taylor: Well, yeah. I do wanna stay in this bed forever. You're right.
Me: Even when your married?
Taylor: (smirk) yup.
Me: How is your husband gonna fit in that bed with you?
Taylor: Don't worry, mama, it'll be fine.

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

Taylor: maybe when Wayne Gretzky comes over he'll be goalie with you.
Luke: Taylor, he doesn't like to play goalie Taylor, he's too good at scoring, he doesn't play goalie.
Taylor: Did you ask him?
Luke: No but is rather have him on my team to play.
Taylor: Well he's your friend right? So invite him over.
Luke: Well Taylor, we might not get to see him but he is my friend. He's like a really awesome hockey player.
(How cool would it be if he could play hockey with Wayne Gretsky?)

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

Luke wanted to try roller blading again so I thought I'd set up the sprinkler for Taylor to keep her occupied. Luke roller bladed and I ran him up and down the driveway. He was getting scared going fast down the driveway and couldn't stop a few times so he was done. I told him to take his roller blades off while I helped Taylor with the sprinkler. So I'm trying to adjust a line of sprinklers while holding a baby and Luke comes running out completely naked asking if he could get in the sprinkler too?! Kids never cease to surprise me or make me laugh. #sonowihaveakidstreakingstory

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

Sweet things ♥ when I pick Olivia up she hugs me, says Awe and pats my back. #cracksmeup she's also been saying "me, me, up" sometimes says, "ma, me, up"

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

Apparently Olivia prefers Luke to any teething toy. He thinks its funny she's biting him but once those teeth come in he won't. Taylor used to bite him and left nasty marks.

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

Taylor's supposed to be napping but instead I hear her belting out "Whom shall I fear" at the top of her lungs. She puts some verses in about loving each other and helping each other too. :)

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

Dear laminate floor, I'm sorry for the beating you take when Luke watches NHL's Best Moments. I'm sure you cringe when that DVD goes in.

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

Taylor: Some super Herod are good and some are bad right, Luke?
Luke: Yeah, some try to act like they are God and stuff and that's not good.
Taylor: You're one of Gods heroes right Luke?
Luke: Yeah, I don't think I'm God. Thinking in God is like an idol and I know Gods way bigger and stronger.

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

Luke: Mama, do you know that Jacques Plante changed the game of hockey?
Me:(trying to figure out what the name was) Really?
Luke: yeah, he was the first goalie to wear a mask.
(Sure enough, guess he knows his goalie history)

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

( I showed Olivia a picture of Taylor in his costume)
Me: Look it's sissy as a lambie.
Olivia: Oooooooooo, baaaa, baaaa.
(Luke and Taylor's jaws dropped lol)

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

One of the cutest things to listen to is Luke and Taylor talking about her recital. Luke is just as excited to see her and the show as she is to be in it. He's very concerned about the Pride character. He wanted to know every detail of her dress rehearsal. They've been talking about it non stop.

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

Luke:(first thing this morning) Are you ready for your show!?!?!? It's tonight!

Taylor: Yes! Let me pick out what you're gonna wear Luke cuz you need to look sharp!
(She then picked out everyone else's outfits for tonight lol)

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

So cute how excited Luke is for Taylor's show. He just came out w his belt and argyle socks. "Should I wear these socks tonight momma? Will they look sharp?"

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

Luke: When you get off stage Taylor, I'm gonna give you a big hug!
Taylor: And flowers right?!?!
Luke: Maybe, I don't know.... (Smirk)

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

Was almost hit head on today. I was sitting in the middle turning lane waiting to turn left into the same road that an oncoming car was turning right into, the car behind him impatiently went around him into the middle lane headed right at me. Luckily we didn't hit. Heart was pounding because I saw it coming and there was nothing I could do, guess he just couldn't see me behind the truck he couldn't wait behind. Good reminder that a 2 seconds faster isn't worth dying. (Sigh)

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

Luke: momma, can I get Olivia a hockey stick for her birthday. Cuz she really likes mine and then mine wouldn't distract her.

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

Me: What was your favorite part of your recital?

Taylor: All the dances Grace was in. She dances so beautiful and she's so pretty. And giving her flowers.

Me: She beautiful on the inside too because she loves Jesus.

Taylor: Yeah but God made her face on the outside really pretty too. (Lol)

Me: Which show did you like best? Friday or Saturday?

Taylor: Friday because Saturday I got smushed by the bunnies when I was hugging Grace.

Luke: I don't like that character pride but he sure is a good flipper. (Lol) that was crazy.

Taylor: I know right?

Luke: I didn't like when he threw Grace down. That was mean. He must have been listening to satan.

Taylor: He was just pretending Luke.

Luke: But he did throw her.

Taylor: Wasn't Grace beautiful Luke?

Luke: Yeah, she's my favorite.

Taylor: I thought I was?

Luke: Besides you I mean. — with Grace Rubadue.

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

After Friday and Saturday of being at central high school from 5pm-11:00pm... On the way home Saturday night she says, "momma, I miss ballet, how long do I have to wait to go again?" Then Sunday morning when she woke up she immediately asked to see the DVD of the show. When I told her we have to wait to get them, she literally cried. #someonelovesballet

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

I told the kids they could pick a movie. I said it was Taylor's turn to pick..., so she picks Miracle. Luke's rubbing off. I asked her why she picked that and she said, I love that movie! Best hockey movie ever.

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

Luke: Taylor, ballets too hard for me. It hurts when I do a split.
Taylor: You mean when you wear jeans?
Luke: Yeah, it hurts. I like hockey better.
Taylor: if you wanna get better at splits, you gotta practice.

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

I love that Taylor sings herself to sleep by singing worship songs. Just now though she was in there dancing too. #busted

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

Took the kids to toysrus for Luke and Taylor to pick out something for Olivia for her birthday. We got to the baby doll isle and Olivia went nuts. Squealing, saying baby, baby, awe!!!! Taylor handed her one and she screamed when I took it to put it back. She was in baby heaven in that isle. Was hilarious.

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

Olivia just tried to eat a bug. Must take after Taylor who ate a stink bug at about her age lol
