Hopgrassers!!

Today Emily and KJ were outside playing with grandma and she noticed a bug hopping in the grass. Grandma told her it was a grasshopper. So after nap when I picked them up she ran to tell me about the hopgrasser....It was too cute, a hopgrasser....then KJ started hopping and it was funny....it took a minute but I knew it was a grasshopper.

RIDDLE GAME!!!

Christian had a good idea about writing down all the things that KJ says that is quite funny and cute and I decided to make it into a game. For those who know and spend time with us this should be easy and for those who dont lets see how much fun you have....

So I am going to write how it sounds, dont concentrate on spelling, just say it how it looks. Then down below I will give you the answers....

Let the fun begin............Think of this, when he speaks most of the time he sounds like he has a boston accent, how and why, noone knows, but its cute!

1. Chicka woo-----Chicken Wittle

2. way her me

3. grobbles

4. hey E rose wagger

5.make it wok

6. goo me...............cooze me

7. fimming

8. foria

9. wu (short u) eb er

10. downdairs

Ok, so how did you do? How many do you think that you know?

1. We used to watch this movie Chicken Little and he used to say chicka woo and then later chicken wittle.

2. When someone leaves he says this...........wait for me! It is so funny way her me, way her me!!

3. We were in the pool and he was swimming and kinda got his face wet and then said "Mom I need my grobbles" of course we knew he meant goggles

7. On a hot day he likes to go fimming after nap in the pool.....ding ding ding...swimming

8. We are trying to teach him where he lives here in California but that is too long for him and he is too lazy so he just say foria

9. this one is a little difficult, when he is trying to be funny he rolls his eyes and says wu eb er

which really means whatever

10. Last but not least.............when he wakes up the first thing he says is he wants to go downdairs which is downstairs............this one should have been easy.

HAMS!!!!!

They are such hams!!! They say take a picture and then they want to see it and then they crack up laughing! Heres why!!!!!
Emily was grumpy and I took the picture and she didnt want to see it. It was funny!

Long Beach Aquarium

At the aquarium, Emiy and Christian were much more adventurous and my litte chicken, KJ wouldnt really walk anywhere for a while and he definetly wouldnt touch anything.


















This is a giant sting ray in the touch tank. Christian touched this one. Look how huge he is.


















This is the only fish KJ would touch. Push the button and water squirts out of his mouth.


















See any sea life here. Yes look carefully, it is called a sea dragon, kinda looks like a sea horse and it also looks like the plants around it. Even the same color. Pretty cool, I had never seen one before.


















Here is the tank all the kids loved. Look closely. Its NEMO! Look even closer and it is his friend DORY. The clownfish and tang fish fish from Finding Nemo, which we have seen a million times. Wondering about the black and white one. Well that is called a false clownfish????


















This fun touch tank Emily and Christian got to touch the starfish and sea urchins. KJ wouldnt go near it.


















This was so cute. They got a kick out of this seal. They stood in the window and this seal came over and just hung out, upside down. He was too cute and funny. They laughed at him and Emily wanted to know his name.


















Christian tried and tried to touch that huge stingray. Finally he did.

















Oops same pic, oh well.


















They looked and looked at all those fish.

My DRAMA Queen

Oh my, Emily, well yesterday we went for our usual walk along the bike path. They ride their bicycles and we just stroll for awhile. We took a short cut home through a rocky trail.
Emily started running and she fell and scratched her knees. One more worse than the other.

She hasnt stopped crying about it from yesterday. She said it doesnt hurt and I gave her some Motrin just in case. She told me she needs to sit on the couch. She wont extend her leg nor will she walk on it.

We took Christian to play and KJ wanted to play at McDonalds and Emily said no KJ I will get sick if I go to McDonalds. So then KJ said let play out front and Emiy said......ummm I will think about that KJ. It was funny becasue life is revolving around her today.

She is acting like her leg is broke. She cries everytime she looks at the bandaids. She doesnt like to see a boo boo.

"Be careful I have a boo boo on my knee. Just like grandma." She tells me last night before bed.
Oh Brother!

What a swimmer!

Emily has blossomed into a swimmer here in the last few days. Dont give her the floaties, no she is a big girl. I asked her to put on the floaties and she said "no mommy I need to use my arms." Well we cant question the logic there. So needless to say pool time isnt relaxing anymore. I used to be able to just float around near her in the pool and now I need to be on her. She jumps off the side, in dive form, and bellyflops near the middle of the pool and I need to be there to help her back. But I think she is half fish, she can hold her breath like a mermaid.

KJ still wants his floaties and is content, but he tells me"mommy where is meme's floaties?"
Take your time baby boy. I cant handle two adventurous kids at one time.

No Potty for US

Well its not the time for the potty I guess. On that last Friday with grandma she let them run around naked, what kids doesnt like to be free. Not my 2, oh no, they screamed and hollered for pants. So needless to say it didnt work and they are not the least bit interested at all.

The other day Emily asked Grandma to change her and Grandma said maybe Emily you need to sit in it a little bit longer(maybe this would help encourage the potty) and Emily through her arms up in the air and said to grandma "grandma I dont want to talk about this potty thing" and grandma said "Well Emily I want to talk about it" Emily said "I dont" and she turned and walked away.

We are completely stumped.


So, no potty for now.
