Most of these little tid-bits are about McKenna because she is completely crazy and bizzare, but her brothers don't follow too far behind. Here is a few of our lastest coversations/behaviors.
*As I approached McKenna in the kitchen she opened her mouth wide to reveal a large wad of blue bubble gum. Having known that Emma got blue gum from a birthday party the day before I asked, "Oh, did Emma share with you?" To which McKenna replies, "No, I just got it out of the garbage. I like it, it's good".
Oh Heaven's, whatever, what do ya do? Chew away happy girl...chew away!
*Last Sunday we decided to take a drive around the scenic Nebo Loop. As we got farther up the canyon we were able to look out over the valley, enjoy the changing leaves and the varying mountain tops. Ken then made a comment about how wonderful it is that God gave us so many beautiful things to look at. From the back we heard several "Uh, huh's" voicing their agreement. Then McKenna replies, in a voice that could drive away any peaceful thoughts, "NO, let's go home! This is scarey!". That sentiment was repeating several times throughout our journey.
Todd who also felt a little uncomfortable decided to release his anxiety with uncontrolable laughter. He giggled non-stop from the back seat for quite some time. While Tyler just kept his eyes closed.
Family bonding at it's finest!
*This morning I asked Todd to comb his hair. This is a task that I usually reserve for myself, but in the interest of time I thought I'd let him take a whack at it. He finds me in the front room and asks, "How does this look?" (He had his whole head spiked, sticking straight up) I said, " Uh, no son, you can have it spiked in the front, but the rest you have to comb down". Then my little 5 year old, apparent fashion-ista replies, "Ah, but Mom, it's the style. My teacher's will think I'm so handsome". "Ah, no son, your father and I want you to look like a respectable young man.......blah, blah, blah.....talking to myself as he stomps back to the bathroom.
*Daric's new thing...
Instead of waking up and calling for his mommy or daddy in his sweet little man voice now thinks he's big enough to help himself out of his crib. Only he's not! He gets one leg over then high centers himself on the bar of the crib. He gets scared and can't get down either way. Eventually he starts to whine for help, probably after he can no longer stand the pressure on his little man parts. (OUCH!)
The first time I found him this way was after enjoying a rather quiet morning. It was past 9:00 am and he hadn't made a sound. I was loving the silence and settled into the couch with a book. Then the silence was shattered by a cry that said, "Hurry Mom I did something naughty". I went into his room to find him completley naked except for the poop streaks across his bum and fingers! He was clinging to that top bar like his life depended on it with fear in his eyes. It was actually quite funny, and a lot disgusting. In his quiet solitude he had taken off his onesie, his shorts, his poopie diaper and planned a failed escape.
He attempted this manuver several more times, but thankfully never again in the buff.
Off to the bath you go, little stinky.
* Today McKenna appointed herself the "fish feeder". She often gets up before the sun or anyone else in the house and creates mischief. This morning it was pulling the kitchen stool up to the fish tank and dumping the entire bottle of fish food into the tank. The water is now a dingy green color and our fish will probably eat themselves to death. Thank you McKenna, you are so very "helpful".

I'm still laughing at the poop picture of one of your kids in the crib. I remember looking at it, and you saying, "and no, that's not chocolate" You know NEVER have I had to clean up poop from walls, cribs or bedding. You must be so lucky to have that :). I love the things that go on at your house. It reminds me of here.
Ken, I don't think it's a Utah thing at all, I think it's a guy thing. That is hilarious that he forgot about it. At least he didn't clean out his fingernails with his teeth and find it there right? Guys can be so gross :)
Thanks for sharing the fun and exciting things that goes on in your world.
LOL!!!!! I can't stop laughing! You are so funny Nancy. I know that it's your family that says and does these super funny (and uber disgusting) things but the way you retell it is priceless. I needed a good laugh today. Thanks
This post totally made my morning. I laughed and laughed. Thanks! :)
Ha ha ha! I love your family. Ken, you need a tissue??
Ken made me delete my last story, apparently he can get embarassed. I still think it was funny. :)
Your last story was indeed funny. You need to remind Ken who wears the pants and the apron in the family and tell him to leave your blog the heck alone.
Well I'm sorry I read this too late to hear the Ken story, but the rest of it was hilarious. I think "reality TV" could devote a whole series to McKenna - she's a riot.
