The Fight for Mommy

Anderson and Daddy have an ongoing battle over Mommy. Daddy will cuddle up next to her and say "my mommy" or vice versa and the jealousy sets in! Last time Anderson climbed on top of his mommy and covered her up so Daddy couldn't even get close. Ahh to be so loved...

Doorbell

I love it when kids start talking a lot. Anderson says the CUTEST things. Right now he is going up to the bedroom door and saying in a musical tone "Ding Nong."

Wall-e

This morning Anderson put binoculars up to his eyes and said "Wall-e". He sounded just like Wall-e. What a clever little man. I will try to get it on video.

My muv you

I think half of the kids now have recent posts titled I love you and yet they are all different. Today we were on our way to the movies because a friend of ours gave us three tickets. Brooklynn is at a pool party, so I only had five. Piece of cake, right? Well, we were running late and I was flustered. Then we got in the truck and no one wanted to sit in certain spots, Anderson threw a fit because Mara took the spot he wanted, and I was stressed. So as we drove out of the driveway I asked the kids not to talk to me - that I just needed to relax. Then Anderson says "Mommy" ..."Mommy." I said " What?" Then in his sweet two year old voice he said "My muv you." My bad mood melted and we headed off to the movies a bit happier. Well, Nannerman, My muv you too!

Snatch and Go

Dallen, Mara and I were reading Who's Your Hero. We were reading about Nephi and Anderson must have been aware of the story because as soon as I read the last page and turned the page to the Family Home Evening ideas, he nonchalantly walked by and snatched the book right out of my hands. I don't know how he had such impeccable timing - I guess he really wanted his turn to read it. He was so smooth I had to stop to come write about it.

I am brave

All summer long I have sat on the side lines watching the kids swim. Last time the family went swimming though I GOT IN! I went swimming in a big pool. That makes me a big boy.
