For Laughs

Two funny stories from this last week...
****************************
My mom was in town last week. As you can see from the picture in the previous post, she's a pretty small gal. (Seriously, why couldn't I have gotten her genes?) Kyle LOVES to follow her around while she's here. He walked in on her before she had gotten fully dressed one morning (not nude or anything, just not fully covered) Kyle's comment to her...

"Grandma, your boobs are short like my dads."

HILARIOUS! Luckily this is not a foreign concept to her, she's never been well endowed. We weren't sure who should be offended...her or Scott.

***************************
Last Friday Kyle's friend Hannah spent the night. (Her parents were running a half-marathon on Saturday morning down in Richmond) They dropped her off around 3:00 PM on Friday. Around 3:15 PM Friday afternoon the following occurred...

Kyle and Hannah had gone up to his room to play. (We don't really keep toys in there, just a few stuffed animals.)
-Me to my Mom: "It just got quiet, never a good sign with these two. I'm going to go see what they are up to."
-Me to the kids from the bottom of the stairs: "Hey, what are you two doing up there?"
-The kids: "PLAYING DOCTOR"
-My Mom: ****LAUGHTER****
My face dropped and I started running up the stairs nervous at what I would find. (I mean seriously, do we already have to have this talk? I know that she's the bishops daughter and all... :)
I ran into their room. They were up on the top bunk surrounded by all of the stuffed animals. Giving them thorough check-ups. Completely innocent of course. Thankfully all of their animals were deemed healthy. Disaster avoided. Mom and Grandma got a good laugh out of it though...after my heart started beating back in rhythm.

My mom's response to both: "Out of the mouth of babes!"

Grandma to the Rescue!!

Hooray! We were so lucky to have Grandma Sandy in town for the week. It was hard to send her home today, but we sure enjoyed every minute we got to spend with her. Here is an adorable picture with Grandma and her two favorite grandsons!We didn't really do anything too exciting while she was here, but had a great time nonetheless. She helped me throughout the week with dishes and laundry, which was AWESOME to have a little break. Thank you SO MUCH mom. I was also able to get some sewing done, since she was happy to hold and entertain #2. We'll definitely miss you and can't wait for the next visit.

Kyle is a super cute big brother. He loves to talk to Colby and 'help' him do things. Colby adores Kyle too. He lights up whenever Kyle talks to him, and if Kyle is doing something in the room, Colby is always drawn to whatever it is that Kyle is doing. I thought this picture was ADORABLE of the boys. It really captures both of their adoration for each other.(Colby loves to stand. He does most of the work, he just needs somebody to steady him.)

This last picture is more for grandparents than anything else...Can you believe these blue eyes?

not an optical illusion

That's right people, not only do I have a child who likes to eat...he likes to eat enough that he's already holding his own bottle!I realize that to many of you this may not seem at all monumental, but for us, this is definitely something to write home about! Kyle was/has been/still is such a terrible eater that I hardly know what to do with Colby. What? A baby who CRIES because he's hungry? To that I say AWESOME! It's a bonus that he's started holding his own bottle. (Honest, Kyle was over one and onto a sippy cup before he ever held his own drink.)

Thank you Heavenly Father, I'm not sure I could have handled a second who doesn't like eating.
