more quotes/stories

We had a Family home evening lesson on blessings last week. Wayne gave me a blessing because I've been trying to have another baby. We explained it to the boys and Joseph's face just lit up like you wouldn't believe! Then Derek says "Babies come from church" Joseph's response was, "No Derek babies aren't from church they are from the sky!" Me- "What do you mean Joseph when you say babies are from the sky?" Joseph- "They come from heaven and heaven is in the sky!" Me- "That's right!"
Then, we asked the boys if they each wanted a father's blessing and they said they did. It was really a special moment to watch them get their blessings!

Ever since general conferece Joseph has added into his prayers.."Bless the prophet who speaks to us" His prayers are so sweet and so sincere. I love them!

Today I was talking to Derek and all of the sudden he says,"I'm going to give you a whistle!" I was confused for a second until he tackled me down and started wrestling me. OHH, he was saying WRESTLE not whistle!

Last Sunday I was leading Relief society music when the door opened and there was Joseph with an adult from primary. My first thought was,"is he sick? because he's always been so good in primary. It turns out he was walking to class and not looking where he was going and walked right into the wall! He had a big bump on his head so they asked him what he wanted to do. He said, "I want AMY" Yes, they both keep calling me Amy or Aim. I thought it was fun until they started bossing me around and then I put my foot down and said "Excuse me! I am your mother!" So we try to get them to either call me Mamy or Mommy, but they usually still call me Amy.

Funny quotes from our boys:)

1. Derek- “Mommy, I love you super duper too much!”
Me- “I love you super duper too much Derek!”
Derek- “No, you love DADDY super duper too much”
Me- “Yes, I do love daddy super duper too much”
Derek- “I love Jo Jo super duper too much”
Me- “Jo Jo is a nice big brother, huh?”
Derek-“Yes, he’s my friend!”

2. Derek-“Chico (the dog) has shark teeth mom!”

3. Derek says almost every day since his haircut..."Mom, look I STILL have a 'hair cup!'"

4. Derek says "Jo Jo is Joseph and he's a sweetheart! Come here sweetheart!"

5. Joseph dyed an easter egg at his little joy school. When I picked him up he described in detail how he dyed the egg and then told me that it was ok because there was not a rooster in it." What?" I said! He replied, " It's ok because there aren't animals in the egg so we won't die if we eat it!"

6. After helping Wayne for over 30mins. straight in putting together a workout machine that a friend donated to us, Joseph said, "I'm big because I can take things apart and put them back together again. I'm like Bob the Builder"

7. Joseph decided he was going to be helpful in getting watermelon ready for Sunday dinner by eating it. He noticed the black seeds and said, "I got to be careful not to eat the seed, or I might DIE!" We can't think of where this came from except when we tell him to not get into the medicine cabinet or always looking both ways before walking into the street with us.

8. Joseph says, "The Holy Ghost says I don't need to take a nap today!"

Oh, and we are so excited to let you know that Derek finally had something click, and he is doing AMAZING with his potty training so we are not going to have to buy diapers/pull-ups for a while except for bed time!
