Sometimes he said CRAZY things!

As you may have read in the previous post, Parker says some stuff at times that makes me giggle. Well, other times it makes me flat out LAUGH! For example, one day Dino, the boys and I were in Payless looking for school shoes. Parker comes up to me and loudly says, referring to a heavy set woman who carried her weight on her backside, "Mom, LOOK! That lady has a baby in her butt! Come here, look! You gotta see this!!" I was so embarrassed I quickly grabbed our shoes and headed for the cashier.




Well, then the other day, I was doing some laundry and Parker walks up to me and says, "Look, I'm the Hook 'cause I have a Hooker!" Seriously, what mom wanted to hear that? Even if it is coming from a very cute 3 year old. Of course I laughed and grabbed my camera phone to capture the moment.

Well, this past weekend was our stakes Woman's conference, and I was able to attend since Dave had those days off. Well Dave had signed up to help with clean up the first night which meant he had to take the boys with him. Luckily there was babysitting available in the nursery room if anyone needed it. So he took David and Parker there. When he picked them up he was told that Parker had been singing a song from Madagascar to one of the young ladies who was babysitting. Unfortunately the young lady was heavier set and the song verse he kept singing was, "I like 'em big, I like 'em chunky." He told Dave that they didn't like it. Hmmm, wonder why! Needless to say I'm SOO glad I wasn't there, I would have DIED from embarrassment!

I'm hoping all these moments are just a phase and at some point he will learn tact and that these comments could hurt someone's feelings. But who knows, other males in the family are yet to learn it. HAHAHA!!!

Sometimes he says sweet things.

Last week Parker and I were driving to pick up David and his friends from school when Parker said something I probably will never forget. Don't get me wrong, he has many of these moments, but this one will stick to my heart for a while.

Parker: Mommy, I saw Jesus.

Me: Oh, yeah? Where? (I looked around thinking maybe there was a billboard or something he was talking about)

Parker: When he made me.

Me; Oh, yeah?

Parker: Yeah, he made me. Then when he was done I went and sat down while he made you guys. I turned around and saw him.

Me: (with a lump in my throat and watery eyes.) You did? That's awesome Bubba!

Parker: Yeah mommy, me and Jesus are good friends.

Me: I'm glad Bubba. That makes me happy.

I kept driving replaying this conversation in my head so I wouldn't forget anything so I could tell Dave the next time I talked to him. As i kept driving I turned onto a street that had houses on one side but desert on the other and the following was said.

Parker: Wow, people live way out here?

Me: Yup.

Parker: Oh, Jesus made their house's?

Me: Um, no, not really. Construction workers made them.

Parker: OH! You mean the Laminates?! Laminates made them?!

Me: Um, no. Construction workers. (giggling a bit by now)

Parker: Mom, Jesus likes laminates too.

Me: Yes honey, he does. That's right.

But you didn't see me!!

Dosen't this little boy look so cute and innocent? Well, cute he is, but innocent...well, that can be debated! Parker has a new thought that if he does something naughty and no one sees it...it didn't happen!

Example:

Parker gets caught eating some candy without permission.

Dad: Parker, did you eat that candy?

Parker: (looking down) NNooo.

Dad: (seeing the evidence on his face) Parker, are you lying?

Parker: But you didn't see me eat it....

Dad: But you did, didn't you?

Parker: (now desperate) BUT YOU DIDN"T SEE ME!

At this point the whole incident is so funny & cute that we can't punish him! I know what you parents are thinking...We're ruining him. But hey, if he has a face that can get away with it....why fight it?

hammin' it up

My kids seem to be camera hogs. They love to be silly for the camera. Not really sure where they got it, but my guess is Dave. What? Haven't you ever seen the silly pics of Dave?

Parker took this picture. Not bad, huh?

I couldn't resist taking this one. Man, I can't wait 'till they start dating. lol!

David will do anything for a laugh. He's such a funny kid!!

This is Parker's signature Monkey Face. It's a classic!

These boys make me smile everyday. They really brighten my day, everyday. I love you, David & Parker!

Little Drummer Boy.

This video will be a classic one day when Parker is a world famous drummer. I'm letting you be one of the first to see it. Free of charge. Lucky you.



(Ignore my annoying voice in the background.) :0/

One day Dave REFUSED to get dressed to leave. I told him he either got dressed or he was going naked. This is how he dressed himself. I told him that was fine and to get in the car. The car was parked in the driveway not the garage, like usual, that day. So when we got in the driveway, I told him all the neighbors could see his underwear. He pulled his shirt down lower and checked all ends to make sure his undies were not showing. It was SOO funny! I tried not to laugh, but couldn't help it. Of course I had to take a picture. I need some embarrasing pictures to show future girlfriends.

What to do...

Tonight we had an FHE on how to call 911 and when to call 911. We went through the way to dial and what to say. When we were discussing what to do during certain situations,I asked David & Parker, "What do you do if the house is on fire?" I expected them to answer "get out of the house." But Parker,calm and as-a-matter-of-fact answered, "Um, go get the marshmallows?" Oh boy, we have work to do.
