Lots of -isms

On wearing shorts, even when its 30 degrees!!
O: My legs were built for strength...not just for running, but for body heat!
Mr. Swawesome (Sweet & Awesome)
Oshyn has some fun words that he uses in just about every sentence...
For specific--PACIFIC
and he's always saying LITERALLY!!

Dancing to Janet Jackson
O: We should do this more often!  Listening to 80s rock is historical.

After telling the story of the Boy who cried Wolf (with a bit of a gruesome ending by O):
O: Tyce, what's the memorial of this story?
T: Don't tell lies or you will get dead.

Oshyn tells me one day: Mom, you're awesome!
C: I'm glad you're my Mom, butttttttt--I wish we lived in Florida!  I wish so & so was my Mom.  She gives her kids juice boxes EVERY day!!

Cruz is a friend guy.  He is always looking to make one and wants to have people over a lot to play.  He is a hoarder.  Cruz keeps everything and we find piles of stuff hidden in his bed.
He has started to really read & read his kindergarten class a book he brought from home.
C: I forgot to get excited at the end...there was an exclamation point!!
Little Baller after practice
He is WAY into basketball, keeps his shoes in the box & wanted to make sure he went to bed early before "tryouts".  On Friday nights he tells Oshyn, "O, we have a big day tomorrow"  Game day :)

After an insane Fire Alarm issue at our house (I'm not sure practicing with the smoke alarm is the wisest thing to do at night)
C: Will you come with me to get my shoes on?
M: I will, but why?
C: I think the fire alarm will get confused since I have a red shirt on

When Beau is gone late
C: Mom, can you tell Dad to put his stinky socks in my face when he gets home?

One day Tyce had a plethora of yogurt miss his mouth and land on his face.  I told him to go wash his face.  After coming out of the bathroom...
M: Did you look in the mirror?
T: I did!
M: Wash your face, there's yogurt.
T: It said nuh uh!
M: Who?
T: the mirror!
PJ Day @ Grace!
Every time we turn on our computer
T: Hey! Who ate my apple??

Upon seeing a new pair of clothes with the size 3T on the hanger
T: It says my name!! (3 years old--Tyce :)

Every morning...
T: Did you pack my lunch "tale"? (pail)

After hearing us all talk about how cool the Disney Cruise looks
T: Disney TYCE, not Disney Cruz

And funny words used often by Tyce
Kretzels (for pretzels)
Banilla (vanilla)
I'm exciting!! (I'm excited)
Some-mmm (something)
and he is an infamous door closer in the mornings only.  Many people wake up to the sound of him closing the door on his way out of their room--including me :)

All of our boys when asked to put their PJs on, say, "These are 'um".  We can't stop laughing about it, so they more often than not just wear what they have on to bed.  Basketball shorts & a tee.  Pretty smart & easier on the laundry lady (me!)

Kai is the sweetest baby on earth.  He doesn't say words yet, but he jib jabs his fair share.  He rolls all over the joint and is starting to get on his hands & knees and rock (AHHH!) Kai sits well on his own with occasional tip overs.  He gets excited when he sees me making food and is a great little eater.  He is starting to wave his whole arm at us, so we say he's waving :) He love love loves the bath and the swings at the park--whether he's in them or someone else.  He adores his brothers and watches their every move while cracking up.  No one can make him laugh like his bros.

Hangin' with his Bros
Everyone is growing older.  I can hardly stand that they are growing up.  I want to stop time & live with them at this age forever.  (As I type this, someone comes in whining & crying....okay, maybe not forever :) Hopefully keeping all of these fun -isms & memories alive through this blog (& into books) will make them growing up--easier by helping us remember & relive all of the good times/laughs we have had.

Sunset Park Session



 All four boys on the swings!

The easiest one to catch :)

I spy with my little eye Oshyn giving lots of other parents heart attacks...

The sun going down, taking the warmth with it.  Until next time!

and I may need a CPR refresher--Ha!

The Derby

Our 1st Pinewood Derby was a success!!  I say "our" because not only was Oshyn building a car, but I am the cub scout committee chair.  It makes me laugh to think this year I have been planning multiple events, without ever having been to them prior.  Thank goodness for the internet & all of the helpful ward members!

All of our cub scouts did an awesome job.  You could tell they all worked super hard to get their cars just right.

Oshyn ended up placing 3rd for Fastest Car.  He was pretty pumped!  I think it may have been the sweet flames he painted on the front that helped it speed to the finish.
Planning for next year begins NOW! :)

Memories

The other two boys used to always climb on this railing when we lived here.  
I couldn't resist taking a picture of Tyce doing the same thing.  

We have been working on getting the condo ready for a renter, so occasionally the boys come with to "help".  Tyce doesn't remember living here at all and for Cruz it is pretty vague.  Oshyn, on the other hand, I find in funny spots--mostly climbing things (fences, trees, etc.).  He keeps saying, "Ohhh!  The good ol' days....memories!!"  I love it.

Syrup-ism

Cruz & I's afternoon snack discussion went a bit like this today...
C: Thanks for getting out the syrup. Where did you get this from?
H: Do you mean which cupboard or which store?
C: Which store? Do you know why I ask you questions like these? Because when I'm a grown up I want to know where to get things.
H: (trying not to roll on the floor laughing--he was sooo matter-of-fact) I got this syrup at Raley's but I get it at Costco also.
C: What aisle?

I love my Cruzer.

Where's Waldo?

 How many Nobmann's does it take?

Happy Twenty Thirteen!

Cheers to Waffles & Whipped Cream!
We still look funny this year?  We'll blame it on Bitter cider face.

Hand Holders


These guys hold hands wherever we go.  In the car...

in the stroller...

and Tyce always gazes lovingly at Kai






Today they were at it again.

Only this time I realized that they even hold hands,

while they are both sleeping!  Best Buddies already.

Daniel Tiger

We started off Tyce's b-day weekend with a bball game to see the UOP Tigers play.  


Perfect.  We couldn't have planned it better if we'd tried.  The mascot was a tiger and Tyce was excited. 

The next night we had a nice & simple party at home.  He loved his "Daniel Tiger" birthday cake.

We took him on a scavenger hunt around the house to find his presents.
He found a shark helmet in Kai's crib!

The hunt ended with him finding a new big kid bike in the living room.  He was thrilled and started riding it around the house.  Out of pure joy, Tyce started singing Pat Benatar's "Hit me with your Best Shot!".  I have no idea where he knows that song from, but its a goodie, so I'm okay with it.   

Three year olds are awesome.  I think all of his wishes came true even though it took him about 5 times to spit blow the flames out.  We all had a lovely layer of saliva on our cake :)

Tiger stripes??  I even impress myself sometimes :)
Happy Happy Birthday Tyce!
