"The quote of the day"...

Hello again! We just want to share a fun family tradition that we have. We call it "the quote of the day". As many of you know, we have hilarious children. And as many of you know, kids say the funniest things. We decided that we would really regret it if we didn't start documenting some of the great quotes we have picked up from our kids. Jacquie keeps track of the funniest ones in her journal.

Well, in all honesty, "the quote of the day" usually jumps right out of Landon's mouth. You just never know what he's going to say! Here's one of our favorites from the Landon archive. :)

~This quote came after a moment of reflection when Landon was doing the forbidden; jumping on the bed...and not just any bed, but the bottom bed of our bunk beds...
"Ohhhhhh.... So, that's why they call it a bunk bed: because that's where you "bunk" your head!"

~This one is in pure Joshua style...Jacquie was sharing a story of something that happened when she was little. The conversation went something like this:
Jacquie-"When I was a little girl, ...." (and then she related something about singing, or something...)
Jeremy-"Oh yeah, that happened to me too."
Joshua-"So Dad, you used to be a little girl?"

~This is our most recent "quote of the day", provided by Wesley (the king of deep reflection):
Joshua likes to have his hair look just a certain way. He will also go check it many times during the day to make sure it still looks "perfect". We were teasing Josh that he is paranoid about the way his hair looks. After a few minutes Wesley said,
"Josh, you are so HAIR-anoid!"

So, there you have it! That is where we get our comic relief...straight out of the mouth of babes!

They are too cute. Obviously Josh has picked up a habit from his Uncle Paul. I have to assure Paul at least 3 times that his hair looks OK before he walks out the door. Thanks Wesley, I am going to tell Paul he is "Hair"-anoid tommorow!

That made my day. That was awesome. My brothers the same way Josh is so I can use Wesley's line. Ha ha.

Your boys are so funny! I love their personalities. That is a great idea to record "Quotes of the day". I am gonna have to copy that one once Tyler starts saying things that actually make sense. (=

Those freakin rock and totally made my day. I'm sooo glad they are still into giving hugs cuz I just got three GREAT hugs from them when we go to Grammy Jan's house this afternoon. I love your boys-they totally make me laugh!! You do such a good job making boys that I'll let you have all the boys and we can share the girls (cuz that's all I'm going to make) :) love you
