Timeout for some Israelsen Quotes

I have to type my kids' quotes so that I can remember them. Here are some of their latest:


  • Hy: You know that guy Elmo? Remember when he sang with President Monson's band? (referring to when the Muppets sang with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir)
Hyrum and Riley were discussing football. 
Riley: You don't want to do football because you do a lot of foot work
Hyrum: No, I don't want to do football because Sean Loughmiller told me you have to wear kneepads on your nuts!

  • Riley and Evan were watching America's Funniest Videos (AFV) on YouTube one night. She started calling it "Africa's Funniest Videos". We aren't sure where she got the Africa.
Hyrum: "I am 1/2 Spaganic" (combining the words organic and Spanish)

  • Me: Lindsay, what are you going to do for Riley for Christmas (Riley just gave Lindsay a coupon for a slush puppies at Bake Central).
  • Lindsay: I'm going to let her do my jobs.
Lindsay (during a prayer): Please bless Kelsey won't take off her pants anymore.

  • Lindsay wanted to call Grandmummsie, but g-mum-z was an appointment getting a facial at Wendy Christiansen's. (She had a nursery leader named Wendy as well). Linz asked what a facial was. I explained that you get a massage, you get exfoliated and clean you face and your face is soft and clean and like new. After a few seconds, Lindsay proclaimed, " When I grow up, I'm gonna go to the 'nother Wendy and get my face pulled off!
Linz: I'm gonna kick Ross (the cat) with my woman shoes!

  • Lindsay was calling meatloaf "muffalo"
Lindsay: This chicken (it was pork) is like a dream come true!

(And these are from last year and I may have already written them, but I want to record them again, just in case:


  • Allison Schumann: called string cheese "Scream cheese"
  • Linz: Scripture of Mormon
  • Me: Where's your smile? Linz: It fell down
Uncle Justin and Aunt Ami (long before she was the aunt) came to visit on the way through to Boise. This was their secondish date. Suddenly, Hyrum asked if they wanted to come downstair to see the 'virgin' table. Amidst mine and Evan's peals of laughter, we explained to some confused and slightly nervous visitor that Hyrum was talking about the INVERSION table for Evan's back!
