Zion: Why are there holes in the wheels of Ellie's toy?

Daddy: (purposely not giving the right answer) That's where you put the air in...

Zion: Dad, those are not inflatable tires!

Haha. Another recent conversation with Zion...

Mommy: See that big mushroom? You can just look at it.  Make sure you don't touch it.

Zion: Why? Can't we eat them? Like we ate them with dinner last night?

Mommy: No. Some mushrooms can make you very sick. Only the ones from the store are ok to eat. 

Zion: Oh, you mean they're poisonous....

LOL. This kid and his vocabulary. It's awesome.

I hate gum....

A very, very kind, giving, well-meaning lady at church gave Zion a pack of gum on Sunday. Thanking her I tucked it into the front pocket of his shirt(one of my favorite shirts, of course). Thinking to myself as I put it there.... "that's a bad idea. You're gonna forget it's there." Well, yup, I ignored that very wise thought. Ug. What a mess. And of course, mainly with Brandon's clothes. Oye.  I think I got it all off though, hopefully! Took me forever.  Vinegar is such good stuff! Took it off the inside of the washer immediately with hardly any elbow grease! Joey was VERY unhappy with the amount of time it took me to clean it up!

I love my view....

God is good and we are so blessed! I was just thinking how pretty my back view is... I managed to grow sunflowers and the big one is blooming, we got a new playground set(used for $80 bucks!-it's a $400 thing!), it's cloudy and I have a mountain view. BUT, as I took the picture, I realized my favorite view was in the foreground of the window... :). These 2 kiddos are awesome! Joelle just turned one, and as Zi's about to turn 5, I am SO thankful for the time I've had with them as the best view in the house! And I look forward to many many many more years with them as the main subjects in my picture window ! :)
