The Short Bus

I know that just about every post is about Chancey but some of the things he is comming up with lately are just CRACKING me up. Like this morning while I was brushing my teeth, he comes in to the bathroom and tells me, Mom I can't wait to ride that little bus to school someday. He then goes on to say that he never wants to ride the big bus to school just the little bus because that is the bus all the cowboys ride, like Britt and Buster and Nate use to ride that bus and so did daddy. I am so glad I had the tooth brush in my mouth to keep me from laughing.

Or when he tripped and spilled the popcorn (or porncorn which he calls it) he mumbles Damn it under his breath, and as I get on to him he tells me thats not what he said, he says he said Damage, which in NOT a bad word just ask daddy!

Frogs in February??

Chancey: Mom are those the clouds that are falling from the sky?
Mom: No buddy thats fog......
Chancey: Pondering........... still thinkings about it.......
we get out of the car and start walking up to the sitters house, I look back to the car where Chancey is still standing by the door.
Mom: C'mon bud lets come inside.
Chancey: I'm just waiting for the frogs mom.
Mom: what frogs?
Chancey: You said it was froggy outside, and I just want to catch one!

What an imagination. I wish I could still think like that sometimes!

JESUS WANTS ME FOR A SUNBEAM

Here is to 2011 I can't believe my little boy is a Sunbeam! After sacrament yesterday I walked him down to the Primary room where he go to sit on the very front row and next to one of his best friends Wyatt Allred. I had the " NO wrestling and NO running" talk with him and gave him a hug and walked away. As I got to the door and looked back he was still folding his arms and talking quietly to Wyatt, while all the other sunbeams were not wanting to even come into the primary room!!! I am so proud of him, and a little sad that he is growing so fast.

I would put his Sunbeam picture up but I can't figure out how to get the pictures from my new camera to the computer!

TIME FLIES!!!

WHAT!!!! Thanksgiving day is a week away? Why does the time seem to fly by so fast when you aren't prepared. I feel I need to share some of the things I am truly grateful for.
* First of all my Husband, his hard work and time he spends providing for us and keeping us safe and warm.
* I am so grateful for my son Chancey, he may be a handful sometimes and is quick to disappear and leave me stressed out and pulling my hair out, but of all the onry things he does, he can turn around and just melt my heart with a simple I LOVE YOU MOM. He tells me I am his favorite girl.
* I don't know where I would be without my beautiful little Corryn. She truly lights up my life. She is a little attached to me right now and sometimes it drives me nuts but I don't think I would ever change the way things are. She is so loving and is going to be a perfect annoying little sister. She loves her brother so much and tries to do everything he does, much to his dismay.
* I am so grateful that we are poor, which means that I get to stay at home with my family. I wouldn't have it any other way.
* My extended family.... My brothers couldn't have picked out any greater friends than they did, I love both of my sisters inlaw so much, they have so much talent and have brought so much love to our family.
* My extended family on the other side, I have always told Kevin that I married him because his family was so great!
* My sister, I love watching her grow up! it brings back so many old memories of EAC when she calls to vent.
* My mom dad and father inlaw, I couldn't have asked for a better support system.
* Most of all the gospel in my life, I am scared to even think of where my life might be without it, the blessings the people I have met in serving my Heavenly Father, and the priesthood in my home.
* I am Truly so so blessed to have LOVE and happiness in my life and I just want to give thanks to everyone who contributes to that!

HALLOWEEN!

This year we got to go see Great Grandma Tedford for Halloween. Chancey and Corryn just love her. Even after she goes to bed we can usually find both kids in her room "entertaining" her. I love the smile she gets on her face when we show up.

Trunk or Treat this year wasn't so much fun for us this year. My kids don't do lines very well and thats pretty much all we did. I did have the cutest little fireman, or fire truck guy, if you asked Chancey what he was. And Corryn was a cute little dead fairy! and they did get alot of chocolate, which I will be taxing.

OH, TO BE 3!

I seriously can't wait for year three to be over.... I mean really does he really have to try it for himself to see if what I said was true. For example-
#1.Please don't climb on the laundry basket to get to the top shelf, I put those treats up there so you can't reach them.
#2. No Chancey the urinals arejust for going pee, not poop, and of course he has to try that one when I am the third person in line at the Bank.
#3. I know Tarzan likes hay but please wait for mommy or daddy to help you feed him, and where he found the knife to cut 7 bales of hay open, we can just blame dad for that one.
#4. Yes you have to wear underwear everyday!
#5. Please stay out of the truck when we are playing outside, because even when it isn't on it can still roll into something.

So there are my top 5 reasons that I am so ready for year 3 to be over. And yes I do understand that he will still be doing some of those same things when he turns 4. I was just hopping that he is a try it one time kind of kid....... wishful thinking I know!

A pokey bush with treats!

So as I was pulling thorns out of Chancey's hand last night, I asked him what had happened, and trhough tears and some screaming, he tells me that he was just walking around and he saw a poky bush (or a cactus) and it had some "treats" on it. He thought that I would really like these treats and he just wanted to get me one. Confused, I made hime go outside and show me what treats he was going to get me. He tried to get me a prickly pear. So now he knows that all pokey bushes are dangerous even if they have yummy treats on them. Now everytime we see a "pokey" bush Corryn says Ouch, no no Chancey.
