Say Wha? v. 2

Troy: "o-r-a-n-g-e, that's what orange spells."

Ty: "what's buried?"
Troy: "like when you bury up a cow"

Our babysitter who goes to church with us asked Troy how much halloween candy he got. He said, "about a million."

Jeremy had his gallbladder out Wednesday. Same girl asked Troy why Jeremy and I weren't at church Wednesday night
Troy: "daddy's got holes in his stomach"
Amy: "did you put your finger in them?"
Troy: "no, they're not big enough"

Ty: "We did cheers in the gym today."
Me: "did you holler loud?"
Ty: "Everybody else did. I plugged my ears."

I'm An Auntie!

Ok, so technically, I already was, but it's exciting every time, right?

My brother and his wife (mostly his wife!) had their first baby yesterday! Can you tell I am excited? I love all babies in general, but nephews and nieces are the best, after your own kids! ;) So thankful that all is well and Christie had a pretty easy labor and delivery. Can't wait to spoil him!

Say Wha?

They say that imitation is the highest form of flattery. If that is so, my friend Deanna at Delirious Rhapsody should be feeling pretty good right now. She does a weekly deal called Gage says, where she relates all the hilarious things her son says and does. This kid is something else. You should really check it out! Anyway. I have decided to do the same, if for no other reason to have a record of how my kids crack me up for myself. For example:

When I was pregnant with Audrey, Troy told me, "you need to stop eating so much. Baby sissy is getting too big."

Ty: Milk looks like lightning.
Me: How are milk and lightning the same?
Ty: They are both white. Milk is white, and when a storm comes, lightning is white.

Ty calls the video "Mater's Tall Tales," "Mater the Tattle Tales"

(about a year ago) After Troy asked for his third thing to ready one morning, I asked him if he was growing. He got very sad and said, "no." I said, "you must be, the way you are eating!" To which he answered, "I'm trying, but I just keep peepeeing and poopooing!"

We passed a house where they had made a huge scarecrow out of round hay bales. Troy said, "Ty! Look! Look at that big hay snowman!"

And Audrey is at the point where it is funny to just say, "Moma! Moma! Moma!" Over and over.

Ok, so you may not think my kids are as silly as I think they are, but they come up with crazy stuff!



Our Camping Trip part 2

Here are some more pictures from our camping trip. We sat around by the campfire, played on the playground, went to the campground's arcade, played football with our terrific neighbors, and just had a really good time! Our last day we went to Gatlinburg for a little while, but all of those pictures are on Jeremy's phone (along with more good ones from camping!)

Fire Safety Day

Today was Fire Safety Day at preschool. three of the firefighters from Guntersville came out and had mini-classes for the kids and the parents, and then the kids got to check out the fire truck! They all loved it, of course, and hopefully learned something about fire safety, too. Big thanks to all our Firefighters for what they do!

Our Camping Trip part 1

You guys know I don't usually just post a lot of pictures, but we had so much fun on our camping trip and I took pictures like crazy! I mean, it was Troy and Audrey's very first camping trip, and the first one Ty will remember. :)

Here are some pics from the first couple of days when we were getting camp set up (in the rain!) And the day we went to Cades Cove, where the boys got to see their first bears and talk to a park ranger! More to come in the next day or two!

(Sorry it is just a string of pictures. I'm still doing all my blogging from my phone and I cant caption pictures from here. And for some reason the blog has decided to put the pictures in a completely random order, instead of how I uploaded them :/ oh well)
