Fun fun fun!

We got to go up to UT last weekend and see our family, because my little sister got married! Here's the whole family:

The siblings: Ben, Wend, Me, Ria, Kristin, Dan.

This weekend, our highlight was last night when Blair and I got to go to a U2 concert! I have always wanted to go to one, and it was AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME. It's been sold out ever since the 1st day that it went on sale, but the night before last, they released a bunch of tickets they still had- so I jumped on it! The stadium is less than a mile from our house, so we just walked over.

Happy us- but crappy camera phone.

No zooming in with the crappy camera phone either.

There's Bono!

That same screen that was up top & showed close-ups of people on stage, divided up and did this cool thing towards the end.

Great concert!

The Terrible 3's

Will rarely takes a nap anymore.

Every once in a while I put him in his room to try for one. Without fail, he sneaks out of his room and finds something to get into upstairs. During this week's nap, he snuck out and found the haircutting box, and cut some of his hair off:

And Blair said that there was a bite taken out of his deodorant... which doesn't surprise me too much, because these next 2 pictures were from a couple of weeks before, during another nap attempt.

Will seems to like destroying deodorant- because in this one he took the top part of mine, and crumbled it all over the carpet. Oh, and those black lines all over were artwork done with my mascara. Who knows what he had planned with my blowdryer. I'm glad he couldn't reach the plug.

The picasso continued all over the cupboards too. Isn't this naughty stuff supposed to get out of their system when they're 2 years old?

The boys went to the father and sons campout last night with the ward. It was a great night for the kids and me, for sure! Blair survived :)

They got back early enough for Xander to still make it to his soccer game. His team won today! (first win for them, so we were excited)

Here's Xander lounging after the game.

3

Will turned 3 this week.

Check out the smoke, after blowing out the candles..

Stuffing his face, with the grandmas' presents on either side of him.

Will also started preschool this week, now that he's a big boy :)

He was so excited to go to school like Xander.

The funnies

Will 12/14 " Mom can you please pour the milk for me because it’s almost full, and there’s a 65% chance that I’ll spill it."

11/14 Me: Why did you dump out all the toys?

Claire: Because I was trying to find something to play with

Me: What did you find?

Claire: The glow in the dark dinosaur

Me: Then why didn’t you put the other toys back?

Claire: Because I had to use the bathroom, so I just runned.

Claire 11/14 "Mom I can’t find any of my jammies, so should I bring you the sew kit so you can sew me some?"

Claire 11/14 "What do these constructions say?"

11/14 Claire: Mom Can I have this?

Me: Sure

Claire: Yes!!! Mom, thanks for asking me!

Claire 11/14 "Oh my Geez"

Claire 11/14 "I had a great dream last night. I got to see Dixie, and eat shrimp!"

Claire 11/14 "Our scarecrow fell over, but we’ll still be able to find our house because you know the numbers!"

Will 11/14 "The only good thing that happened to me today, was that Kord gave me a penny. But then I lost it."

Claire 9/13 "I love polka-dot butterflies."

Claire 9/13 " This pencil needs to get sharpt. Can I sharpt this pencil in myself?"

Claire 9/13 after pulling a piece of tape off of something successfully, "I am a great job."

Claire 8/13 "One time a dog pooped on the grass."

Me, "Why are you telling me that?"

Claire, "Because it was weally gross, PU!"

Claire 8/13 I walked in and exclaimed what a mess it was. "I didn't got that out," said Claire pointing at one little thing.

Claire 10/12 "Ehhhhh he he, ehhh he he."

Gaurd at the Airforce gate, "That sounds like a fake cry."

Me, "Yep."

Claire, "Ehhh he he, ehhh he he. It NOT a fake cwy."

Will 10/12 "Mom, could I miss school on Wednesday, because they're going to learn something really hard like minus?"

Me, "Well what would you do the next day when they were still learning more about that?"

Will, "No mom, we don't have to make up the homework when we miss."

Claire 10/12 "You not funny Will."

Claire 10/12 (almost in tears with the saddest little voice because she wanted all of the toys) "Mommy, brothers not sharing a me."

Claire 10/12 chasing her brothers around slowly with her arms outstretched says, "Bwains, bwains, bwains!" just like a real zombie.

Will 10/12 "Xander is white, and I'm white, and mom's white and Claire is white and dad's a little white."

Will 3/12 "Dad and I are getting gooder at disc golf."

Xander 3/12 seeing frozen peas in his drink that had spilled into the icebox, "Mom, there are green cotton balls in my drink."

Will 12/11 "I know something that's not a word: spit-buggar."

Claire 12/11 "Ha ha, fuh-ee (funny)"

Will 12/11 after he broke a plastic fork, "I would like to put it in recycling because that saves the world."

Will 11/11 as he rubs the carpet, "I like this house because it's hairier than the other one."

Will 9/11 "Mom, could you call my nickname 'shark' please?"

Will 9/11 in a prayer while Blair was away for a month, "Bless that we would ever see dad again, and if we drive there it wouldn't be too long."

Will 3/11 after I asked him how primary was, he said, "I was the 1st kid in class. I thought I was going to have to taught myself."

Will 3/11 "Mom, is today fast Sunday."

Me "What is fast Sunday Will?"

Will, "When we eat really fast."

Will 3/11 "Xander is saying mean things, like that I'm not the leader."

Blair told Will to go to the bathroom with him while we were out somewhere and he was doing the potty dance 3/11, "Hey I had to go to the bathroom too!"
