My Kids are Weird.

(*This post of strange pictures and sayings from my kids is dedicated to them.)

 Lindsay with the barf bucket on her head. Gross.
 
  • Hyrum: "If you  don't get a sliver out, what happens? Do you get an 'rection?" (That means "infection". Sicko.)
 Sometimes, late at night, we steal eggs from hens. Lindsay drives the getaway car.
And jumps up and down on the seat while she listens to the radio.
And honks the horn (which makes us laugh).
Which makes the dogs bark (which makes us laugh harder).
 
 Riley is showing her dad her "owie."
Ev thought it was hilarious, so he took pictures with his phone.
And then I blogged about it.
 
  • Riley: "I'm going to be a cowgirl, cutter, and a police." What's a cutter? Someone who cuts hair....duh, Mom.
 Lindsay wouldn't share her water bottle with Riley. She fell asleep clutching it.
 "You'll have to take this from my dead, icy grip."
 Wrestle/snuggle time with Dad.
  •  We asked Lindsay to jump. She squatted low, then.....stood up and started running in place. It was awesome!
 Riley "decorationing" Kelsey. Oh my.
 Evan and I both know we have no athletic abilities. But eating two apples at one time...
that is where our genetics shine through.
  • Me: "Riley, why did you hit Hyrum?"
  • Riley: "Because he made me feel awkward!"
 Saint Lucia, like the Kirsten doll.
 3 little monkeys rolling off the couch....
 Hyrum had to learn somersaults for wrestling...
they've been doing them nonstop.
 
  • I went to pick up Lindsay from nursery and her nursery leader said, "She is just the cutest little 'Onion Patch Kid'!" I think she meant "Cabbage Patch Kid" but I'll take it! :)

Do you want to build a snowman?

How to Build a Snowman
By Riley & Lindsay
Step 1. Convince Mom that there IS snow outside and it IS snowman snow.
 Step 2. Pet the dog.
 Step 3. Make some snowman body parts
 Step 4. Hug your sister, take off your mittens, and have mom place the body parts on top of each other.
 Step 5. Pose by your snowman
 Step 6. And again.
 Step 7. And "in the sun he melted..." Goodbye, snowman.

Fun with Poppa & Grandma Israelsen

While Poppa Bernie, Dad, & the older kids FROZE outside,

Grandma and Kelsey had the right idea: SNUGGLE TIME!


Kelsey's Blessing Day

Since Bernie & Vicki came and saw us a few days after Christmas, we decided to bless Kelsey while they were here. Sadly, her afghan wasn't done. Happily, both her grandpa's and her daddy were able to bless her. (*I'm still working on her afghan....eek.)
 Our happy family! (Poor Hyrum...this was over Christmas vacation and this was the first day of most of the week that he was sick :( He was so bummed!)
 Poppa Bernie & Gma Vicki came and spent 3 days with us! Yay!
 Grandmummsie and Poppa Jeff. This was the last blessing Poppa Jeff was the Bishop for....

Grandmummsie made Kelsey's wintry blessing dress...which we loved!
Pulsiphers also came. None of Evan's siblings could make it on such short notice and mine were all with their in-laws. Still a very special day :)
