One morning, Bekah woke up and said "Mom, I can talk with one eye shut!" =)
The kids were talking about what they wanted to spend some money on and Bekah mentioned that she wanted a real turtle. I told her she could ask Harper if she could save up for a turtle. She said "That's not the way you get a pet turtle! You just find one on the road, pick it up, and take it home!!" lol We actually did find a turtle on the road a few days later and picked it up and took it home, but it escaped that night in the back yard.
"How you make meat is, you just kill an animal that has meat!" -Bekah
Bek was eating a piece of sandwich meat and it had the indentation of the next slice on it. She said "Is there a design of ham on here?"
A few weeks ago at dinner, Lainey asked Harper "Dad, how do you make poison?" He had just taken a big bite of food, so Bekah answered for him: "It's frogs." =)

Ponies, Water Kids, Etc
Bekah told me the other day, "I wish Adam and Eve never sinned, because I don't like thorns and yucca plants." lol I like that yucca plants are part of the curse.
Bekah told me yesterday that when she had kids she wanted to name them Fresh Water, Red Water, Blue Water, Pink Water, and Pretty Water. Today I was telling Harper about it and she said yeah and I could have a boy named Dirty Water! =)
Lainey gave Bekah something she wanted the other day and Bek said "Lainey, that makes me want to love you and love you very much!!"
Bekah thinks tortillas are tor-a-tillas. =)
"Mother Horse, would it make you feel better if I ride you while you're going into labor?" - Emily, playing horses with Lainey and Bekah =)
Titus is getting so big. He calls a lot of things apple. He definitely knows when it is really an apple. =P But he will call other things apples, even things he used to call the right thing (like bananas and strawberries). It's just a generic word for food and sometimes includes rocks. =)
Titus can go down the slide at the park all by himself and has been having fun on our little slide in the back yard. He is so cute!
We signed up for the library's summer reading program and Em finished in under two weeks. Titus is done, too, but the other girls have some more reading to do. =)
Titus likes to blow raspberries on my belly and he cracks himself up. =) He can go up and down the stairs really well now. He calls all stuffed animals "bear" and pretty much all animals "bird." He does call his cow a cow, though, and if you have been talking about a certain animal, he will repeat it. But if it's out of the blue, he usually comes up with "bird." =)

Cuteness
We made a list of words that Titus said when he turned 14 months, and there were about 30 on it. He has started saying a ton more since then, too. He is getting even more fun every day. His sense of humor is coming out and he cracks us up. He was playing a game with Harper that he made up the other day, just looking at him on the open side of the screen door and then through the screen door, going back and forth and back and forth. He thought it was soooo funny. Harper was out working on the laser (we have a screen door out into the garage).
I was letting Titus practice drinking out of a sake cup at the sink a couple of days ago and he was spilling it all over himself. Then he discovered that if he shook the cup, water would fall out, and he would crack up. He did it over and over and over... =)
Titus likes dirt. He likes to pick up two handfuls of dirt and throw them down, saying "dirt!!" We went to the playground the other day and they had just remodeled it and a front loader was putting dirt around the sidewalk and packing it down. Titus watched the front loader the whole time we were there. When it drove far away to get some more dirt, Ti said "Bye-bye!!" and waved to it. =P He has been pointing out all the airplanes that fly over. He still likes birds, but bird has sort of extended to mean animal. =) We went to Petco and looked at the ferrets and he called them birds. I said no, it's a ferret, not a bird. And he looked at it for a little longer and again said "Bird!" I told him no, it's a ferret, not a bird! He watched it some more and then said "Bird!" Hehe. He liked seeing the fish and the (real) birds and the hamsters.
We went to the zoo and Ti got to walk around like a big boy. He likes being big. He carried in a two-pound bag of baby carrots from the car the other day.
He also likes to read books. The other day we were in the living room and I told him to go get a book and bring it to Momma and I would read it to him. He did it! I didn't know if he would follow all of that, but he did.
Our church moved to a new building and we had been in it for one week - two meetings that Titus saw Adelaide at. When we went the next time, we were really early to do some work and none of our friends were there yet. Titus went up and down the hall saying "Adelaide? Adelaide?" So cute! He doesn't like going in the nursery, but CK always makes him happy by giving him food. =P lol
Our garden is starting to grow... the kids are into making stop-motion animation videos... I'm sure I'll think of other things I should have blogged later. =P

Boomba & Growing People
Awww, Titus is growing so quickly. We figured out maybe two weeks ago that he had a name for Bekah: Boomba. We think he had been saying it for a while, but we didn't know what it meant. He is already done calling her Boomba. She still wants him to call her that. =) Now he calls her "Beh." Like he's going to say Bekah, but he just stops after one syllable. =P
I have been sick and Harper had Friday off so the kids played a lot of Zelda with Daddy this weekend. Harper told me that Lainey asked "What was that place called where you buy potions? The lame??" lol It was the bazaar.
Lainey also asked me the other day "Mom, is there some kind of a chicken thing that's called a ham?" I was imagining like some kind of recipe or something and then really confused when she said "a ham." So I asked what she meant. She said "Well, there's turkey...and there's a turkey, and there's chicken...and there's a chicken, but there's not a ham. What is a ham?" When I told her it was pig she was like oh yeah. =P lol
Titus loves birds and has been signing bird for a while. Two weeks ago we went to Atwoods pretty much every day for garden stuff and saw the chicks. Ti really liked the chicks and started to do the sign there. Then that Monday morning, I got him up and he signed bird to me. I asked him if he wanted to go see the chicks and he signed bird, bird, bird! =P So we took him to see the chicks a couple of times that week. =) He signs about the birds he sees outside, too.
Oh, while we were at Atwoods that weekend, Bekah came and said "Mom, do you think it would be a good idea to hide?" I said "Hide? Like, you mean go and hide in the store so I can't find you?" She said yeah. I said "No, I don't think that would be a good idea at all." She said "Yeah, I didn't think it sounded like a good idea either!" I thought that was sort of funny, but she had asked me about something earlier that week and said "Mom, is this wise?" so I didn't think much about it. =P Then in the car on the way home, I was telling Harper about it and it came out that Lainey had been telling her to hide! Naughty kid. I told Bekah she was very wise to ask me about it when she thought Lainey was telling her something fishy.
Titus called a cookie a "tuh-tuh" the other day. He has mastered climbing the stairs. We're still not confident that he won't fall down, so he's not supposed to do it, but he has followed me upstairs a few times (which I don't mind) and snuck upstairs more than a few times (which I do mind). We are going to need another baby gate. =P
The other night at dinner, Bekah was telling is something about "the female house" that she was playing with. Emily said "Bekah, do you know what a female is?" She said "Uh huh." Em asked what. She said "a kind of bug." Hehehe! =)
When Emily plays Pet Shops, she makes the hamsters live in Hamsterdam and the pigs live in New Pork. I told her even old New Pork was once New Hamsterdam. Hehe. =P
A few weeks ago I was playing Zoobles with Bekah and I made one of the Zoobles go to the ice cream shop, order one of each flavor of ice cream cone (there are three) and then get really sick because they ate too much ice cream. So I made the Zooble go take a nap until it felt better and when it woke up, I took it back to the ice cream shop and it got three ice creams again, got sick, took a nap, got up and went back to the ice cream shop. It said it was going to try not to eat too much and get sick, but then it didn't have self-control and it ate three ice cream cones anyway and got sick and went to take a nap. The fourth time I took the Zooble to the ice cream shop, Bekah was like "Um, the ice cream shop is closed. You need to not eat that much ice cream." lol
Titus discovered that he can put things under the coat closet door and under the bathroom door, so that is what he does now. =P He slides blocks and alphabet magnets and alphabet puzzle pieces under the door. So we go into the bathroom and trip on Titus toys. =P But it is an improvement over the last obsession, which was taking the magnets off the fridge and hucking them down the stairs to the basement. There are pretty wide openings between the bars on the baby gate and he could get blocks and cars down there, too. He still thinks it's funny when one of us goes down and closes the gate and plays with him through the bars. But I'm glad he doesn't throw everything down there anymore. =) I got a little tired of picking things up off the steps. =) He is so cute, though!
He has been sick, too, and he's been nice and snuggly. It has been good to have sooooo many Titus snuggles. This morning, Harper was going to take him downstairs and let me rest in bed some more and Titus lunged for me and didn't want to leave. I'll enjoy the Mama's boy-ness while it lasts. =)

Melshmallow
I think I forgot to blog a couple of months ago that Bekah thought a marshmallow was a melshmallow. =)
Bek randomly said "Mom, I love you more than the roundabout!" =) Hehe! That is special. =)
Bekah also said "When I was little, did I know what things meant? Like did I know what 'nap' meant? And what 'milk' meant?" =) She thinks it is cute that Titus knows what those things mean.
We were pinching halushke dough together the other night and Emily said "Laine, if you could have any three things that you wanted and you would definitely get them, what would you want?" She said "Um, triplet baby brothers!!" Then she said "Does that count as one thing or three?" Em said "One." So Lainey said "Okay, then also to have our grandmas and grandpas live in our house with us." Em gave her a look and said "I would get tired of that - really fast." lol I asked her why and she said "Because I don't like shopping every day." Haha!
The other night, Titus dropped his plate on the ground and said "Down!!" lol
We are pretty sure now that 'daiya' means car. He was saying it even when my parents were here when my dad would show him the cars driving behind our house. He says it looking out the window often and today he said it while pushing around one of his cars.
Titus started saying 'ater' for 'water' today.
We have been working in the garden this weekend and Titus has gotten to play outside and explore. =) He is adorable. He found two tennis balls and carried them around for a while. He brought them over to me and set them down. I asked him if he could pick them up and throw them. He picked them up and threw them! Then he had a lot of fun running around and picking his tennis balls up and throwing them. =)

Small Adorable People
I have been collecting cute things on the whiteboard and it is time to erase it all. =) So here goes...
Titus turned 1 last month. I can't believe he is 13 months already. He has started signing 'more' and is starting to use that more often when he wants food instead of the blanket 'milk' which means anything from milk to water to strawberries to chocolate. It just meant "put something in my mouth!" =) The other night, Harper opened the fridge and Titus came running into the kitchen excitedly signing 'more.' =) We had just finished dinner. He likes to eat. =P He has started saying strawberry and it is babewwy. His favorite foods are strawberries and bananas. Oh and rice Chex cereal. He wanted some and I got the box down and he got excited. I said "Oh, are these good?" and he did this little stiff hop and said "Mmmm!!!" =) He likes to tell me his food is "mmm!" =) He was excited when we started getting gardening catalogs to see the pictures of strawberries. He would point to them and feel them like they were supposed to be real. =) Today the girls got some hanging strawberry kits and Ti really likes the berries on the box.
My parents were here the week after his birthday and we went to a chocolate shop. Titus got a taste of chocolate and started wiggling and signing 'milk' with both hands. =P
Ti still likes balloons. He got some for his birthday and the last few times we've been to Walmart they have had them all over because of their clearance stuff. He points to them and says "bbboon, bbboon!" And he said "tars, bbboon!" when he saw the star balloons. So today we went to Dollar Tree and got him another balloon. =) He was so cute with his birthday balloons. He would get up from his nap and immediately ask for his balloon and we'd go look for it and he would be so happy to find it. He carried it around all over the place. Sometimes he would lose it and come and tell me "bboon" with this look like I don't know where it is. So we would go search for it together and he thought it was so much fun. =)
Titus has a word for banana, but I haven't figured out exactly what it is yet. But he is trying to say it. He also tries to say truck. He goes "ttt...kkk."
Titus likes to see the cars drive by on the road behind our house. He'll come to us in the kitchen and point up at the window above the sink and we'll pick him up to look at the cars. He says "daiya!" all the time when he looks outside. Not sure what that is yet. =) Sometimes cars are "tars," too.
Titus loves to dance and if he has a toy in his hands when the music comes on, he drops it on the floor and puts one or two hands in the air. He bounces and spins. So cute!
Bekah... She is funny stuff. She put on this cow suit and her hair was sticking out the hoodie. She came to me and said "Can you tuck my hair in so I don't look like a person in a cow suit?" Hahaha!!
Around Ti's birthday, I took her earrings out to clean them and put them back in. She said "Why did you do that?! Because my ears might roll up into balls!" I started laughing and said "Why do you think that? How would they roll up into balls?" She said "I don't know, I just know they would. Daddy said." I cracked up. Apparently he told her that if she didn't leave earrings in her ears, the holes would close up. And she imagined her ear holes closing up - her ears rolling up into balls. Haha! I asked her if that is what she thought and she said yeah. =P Hehe!
The other day we were looking out the front yard at our enormous tree and Bekah said "Can we cut down that tree and put in a banana tree? So we can have pet monkeys? I want to have pet monkeys." =P
We were listening to a song that said "Every good gift is from above" and Bekah thought it said "Every good gift is from a frog." She asked my why every good gift was from a frog. =P
I don't know if that is what gave her this idea, but at dinner one night she said "This is as tasty as frog meat!" as a compliment.
Tonight I put Lainey's hair in these gold curlers and Bekah told her she looked so beautiful with those gold things in her hair. =P Then I put Bekah's hair in "curlers" but I used strips of pantyhose and tied them because they are softer to sleep on anyway and I didn't have that many gold ones. She asked me if she looked beautiful in her curlers, too. lol =) I said she did. You've gotta be one pretty girl to look beautiful with pantyhose tied all over your head, but she pulls it off nicely. =P Hehe.
Lainey... The kids found a snake in the yard last week and named it Stripes. Lainey was going to catch it and keep it in the butterfly house, but it went back into the grass and got lost. She cried and cried. Harper said something about how she cares so much about the little creatures she finds and I told him no she really doesn't because if you found another snake and named it Stripes, she would be all giddy and not care a bit about the first snake. (This was demonstrated last year with a multitude of roly-polys named Elizabeth.) So he grabbed a grey crayon and a potato and drew a face on it and told Lainey it was a snake named Stripes. Yep. You don't even have to find another snake. You only have to represent another snake. lol She put Stripes in the butterfly house and played with it and carried it around and treated it like her pet. The next day, Emily was like "Lainey, you know that is a potato right?" Lainey said "I'm not listening to you." LOL Not in a mean way, just like an I'm trying to focus on the fact that this is a snake and I'm not going to let you ruin my little world kind of way. =)

You don't even have to find another snake. You only have to represent another snake. lol She put Stripes in the butterfly house and played with it and carried it around and treated it like her pet. The next day, Emily was like "Lainey, you know that is a potato right?" Lainey said "I'm not listening to you." LOL Not in a mean way, just like an I'm trying to focus on the fact that this is a snake and I'm not going to let you ruin my little world kind of way. =)

Catching Up On Cuteness
Titus has started dancing. It is soooo cute. He stomps his feet or spins in circles or waves his hands in the air. =P Or a combination.
Emily bought Titus a Mylar heart balloon the day before Valentine's Day and he really really likes it. =) He carries it around and sometimes he plays with it like a punching bag. On Saturday he started saying "balloon!"
Sunday I was talking to Raven and Titus waved at her and said "Hi!" He did it again later to a couple of other people. He has started repeating words really well. Today he said "puffs" - he is a huge fan of puffs. =) If I am holding him in the kitchen, he points to the basket above the fridge, where the puffs are. =) And I love how he wiggles with excitement when I get them down and open them. And he said "turtle" when he saw the turtle that holds the bathtub toys.
He also started signing "milk" for real. I was never sure before if he really meant it, but now he does it really well and I know he means it. =P Sometimes he signs it when he wants water, too. Sometimes when he is nursing he will just look at me and sign milk and then smile when I say "Yep, you're having some milk!" He will do it over and over. I guess he likes that I understand him. =P
The other day, Lainey laughed and said "There's no such thing as egg NOG!" Then she just totally cracked up. Harper said "Laine, you're fun to watch laugh... Emily, you're fun to watch laugh, too..." and then he mimicked the famous Emily laugh where she chokes. lol So we were all laughing and Bekah said "That's funnier than jokes!" lol!
Bekah likes to make coffee with me and she calls the frother a "throther" and asks if she can "throth" the milk. =)
The other day, Bekah said "My head fore hurts... I mean... My forehead?"
We were painting some blocks black to put pictures on for the Valentine Dinner and Bekah said "The whiskers on paint brushes...are they all black?"
The kids were cleaning up scrapbook paper last week and they got to a point where it was just putting little pieces in the trash. Bekah said "All the paper should be put to death!"
The other night at dinner, Bekah said she was cold and asked for a blanket. I took off my sweater and gave it to her and she said "Thanks. Do you even want this dirty?" =)
I was snuggling Bek on the couch and she said "Mommy! You have some wrinkles!!" I said "Oh yeah? I guess I'm getting old." She said "No. You're getting UN-old!" =)
Bekah says "oof" when she picks up something heavy or can't do something. =)
Bekah was playing with one of the brain teaser puzzles that Emily bought and she thought she was solving it, but it really just wasn't put together correctly. She handed it to Harper and he fixed it and gave it back. She tried it again and couldn't do it and started to cry and said "I just think you're...not a very good one [dad]...because...you made me cry." I'm not sure what she had said before that, so that we knew she was calling him a not very good dad, but it was what she meant. lol
A few weeks ago the girls were talking about Finding Nemo and Bekah said "I don't like that one...because he gets all alone with just crabs!" Haha! I thought that was cute. There are sharks and bombs and jellyfish-filled trenches and a freaky anglerfish and a whale and getting stuck in a bird's neck, etc. And the scary thing is Nemo, free at last, but alone with crabs for like 2 seconds.
Anyway the Davises were here for the weekend and the kids all had tons of fun. Emily wired up a light with a switch and she and Hannah went into a room and turned the lights out and sent each other messages in Morse code. How cute is that?

Funny Girl
Tonight we were playing the Brain Quest game, which Bekah requested. We always have so much fun with that game. She got a first grade math question that required her to add 5 and 8. So Harper was working through it with her and she held up one hand for the 5 and then her other hand with 5 and Harper added 3 fingers for the 8. He asked how much that was altogether. She said 5 and 5 and 3. He said yeah, but altogether how much is it? Count them all up? And she said "With what hand?!" LOL It was hilarious. So he traded one of his hands for hers and she got a free hand to add them up. She counted "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14!" LOL He was like "11, 12, what?" and she said "11, 12, 14!" A few times. =P Skip Count Kid ruined her teens with the skip counting twos song - I need to be more diligent to undo that. lol But at least she can skip count 2's up to 20! Hehe.

Baby Talk, Etc
When we were in Colorado, we were in the bathroom at a restaurant and there was a little girl talking in a babyish voice. Bekah told me "I don't like baby talk!" I said I don't like it when big kids talk baby talk, but I like real baby talk, like how Titus says Dadadada. She said she likes Titus baby talk, but not when big kids do baby talk. We went over to the sink to wash hands and she said "Mommy, can you uppie-a me?" lol I said "I thought you didn't like baby talk, Bekah!" She looked at me funny. I said "You asked me to uppie-a you." She still looked at me. lol I asked her if she knew that uppie-a wasn't a real word and that she just said that when she was little. She said "I never knew uppie-a wasn't a word!" lol
We were playing Burrows (aka The Gopher Game) the other night and Bekah needed to attract more gophers to her ranch and she said "How do you contract gophers?" And then announced that she had "Five-dy six complaints." Yeah she lost that game. =P
Titus says "Dad" for real now and wonders where he is in the mornings that he goes to work. He looks toward the bathroom and says "Dad?" when Harper isn't in our bedroom. Haha! =)
Yesterday Bekah said "I really like you and I really like that you are my mommy and we have a Steve!" =P I like how he is Steve sometimes, or Stevie-Poo (Harper can't stand that one). =P
Titus loves puffs and we call them his Steve-O Puffs. The other day, Harper opened a canister of antibacterial wipes and Titus went crazy (the giddy kind of crazy) thinking they were puffs. They come in the same type of canister. =P He is sooooo cute. When you have food and he wants some, he does a little hop in your arms and says "Ah!" and flaps his arms. =) He is so much fun to have.
Psych Season 6 is lame and we're done with Psych. =\ Too bad 'cause it used to be good.
Emily got a gift certificate to a puzzle company for her birthday and she spent probably half of it on her sisters. She got them each a pearl necklace kit where you get an oyster in a can and you pry it open and get the pearl out (it was sort of gross with the dead oyster in there and everything, but pretty cool anyway) and then put the pearl in this little cage pendant thing. And she got them each a color changing mug and a game that was for all of them together and she got Lainey a brain teaser puzzle. She was very sweet! Everyone was so excited waiting for that box. =P
Lainey is sewing a dog this morning out of some fabric she got for Christmas and then she is going to make it a dress. =)
Bekah's latest thing is pretending she is Robin Hood. We made a Robin Hood hat together on Saturday and she wears it alllll the time. lol She was bummed when I told her Robin Hood was a thief. But she still wants to pretend to be him and draw him (as a fox). Lainey and I made a crossbow out of paper and hemp cord and popsicle sticks. And a whole, whole lot of tape. It works really well and is a bit scary. =P They have shot pencils with it off the deck.
Harper and Emily went to a seminar Friday and Saturday that was about Israel. It was mostly a hermeneutics thing, giving historical and cultural context to a bunch of passages. But they learned a ton and Emily loved it. That makes me smile! =) I wanted to go, too, but I didn't want to keep the littles up so late. Emily is teaching me, though. =)
I'm working on a quilt for a friend's baby. I got to use some new AccuQuilt dies and it is turning out really cute! Thanks, Mom! =) And I think I am going to finally try foundation piecing after this one. My mom gave me a bunch of paper for it a while ago and I haven't tried it yet.
Okay well it's time to get back to school stuff and to drink some coffee!! =P

Heart Attack & Art
The other day, Bekah was coming up the stairs and said "Aaaaagh! I had a heart attack!!!" Emily was like what are you talking about, Bekah? She said it was a thing that poked her in the foot on the stairs. Em asked if she meant a carpet tack. "Oh! Yeah! A carpet tack!!" =) Haha!
The other night we had a family art night and painted on hardboard with acrylics. It was really fun. Bekah told a whole story on her board until it was a bunch of blobs of color. =) It was like a theatre, with a plot and everything, and things were getting painted over. =) Emily did a cool thing with stripes in the background and then black interlocking circles over it all. Lainey painted our house getting hit by lightning and on fire and all of us outside of it. =P lol
Titus walked all the way around the loop in our house today. =) He is a big walkin' man!

Decroded
Decroded is a word used in Napoleon Dynamite. I don't even think it's a funny movie, and I don't even remember when they used the word (although my sister looked it up recently and it wasn't a good context) but it has become a regularly used word in our house. =) The other day, Bekah told Harper's mom, "Grandma and Grandpa B have a decroded basement!" lol They have an unfinished basement in their new house. =)
Lainey told Harper's mom "Thank you for the onerous gifts." She said "Onerous gifts?" Lainey said "Yeah, 'cause now I'm the owner of them." Haha!
My parents' new house has a catwalk, and my mom couldn't think of the word and called it the sky bridge. That name stuck. =) The girls loved it. They were asked what they thought of it and Emily said "It's awesome!! You could wait up there until somebody walked into the living room and then drop a sock on their head!" Haha!! They did it, too. =) It was a lot of fun.
Titus broke his record and took nine steps in Castle Rock. I have stopped counting now. He still falls down, but he's a pretty good walker!
On the 27th, we went to the aquarium in Denver for Emily's birthday. It was so much fun! Em really liked seeing the sea cucumbers. =) We took lots of video, which we haven't done in a long time.
After the aquarium, we went to a Starbucks for her to open presents. Lainey fell asleep there in my lap. lol =) I guess it was an exhausting day! We had also met my parents in Denver at the Old Spaghetti Factory, which was fun. =)
On Christmas Day, Bekah was pretty funny opening presents. Some of it was the bad kind of funny, like saying "I hope it isn't clothes!!" while opening a present... She opened her presents very slowly and carefully and didn't want to rip the wrapping paper. One time she ripped the paper on each side of the tape and laughed that it looked like bunny ears and then hopped the present all around, pretending it was a bunny. =P It turned out to be a shirt with a bunny on it, which made us all laugh. =)
All of the girls got a box full of colored duct tape, and when they opened it, Emily and Lainey yelled "Awesome!!!" Bekah thought they were streamers and didn't think it was cool, lol. But she didn't say anything. Later, though, she was opening another present and said "I hope it isn't streamers!!" We thought that was funny and completely random, but she told me later that she had thought the duct tape was streamers. =P
Toward the end of opening presents, we sorted presents into piles. Bekah stacked hers up perfectly. Then she wanted to open the present one from the bottom. =) She pulled it out and all of her presents fell. She set her present aside and stacked them all up again, but they fell over again. The third time they fell over, she said "I hate it when they do that!!!" Actually, I don't know if she said hate or don't like. But she was really frustrated and she didn't want to open her present until they were all stacked up again.
She also asked to have all of the tags taken off of her clothes as soon as she opened them. My mom was biting them off and after a few times, Bekah asked "Are you swallowing those?" Hahaha!!
Some of the presents had the wrong name on them, so Bekah checked the size on every piece of clothing she opened to make sure it was really for her before she got excited about it. =) She did that again at Harper's parents' house, which was funny because nobody there knew about what happened in Castle Rock. =)
We had a fun time with Aunt Laurin and Uncle Chris. =) Uncle Chris was a super fun uncle. Aunt Laurin curled all of the girls' hair - even Emily's. Em always like her hair to be "Plain Jane." Ever since she was tiny. I asked her if I could curl my hair and she said no and I said but you let Aunt Laurin! She said "Yeah, Aunt Laurin really wanted to curl my hair." Haha! I curled Lainey's hair today, though, and after Emily saw it, she came and asked me if I would do hers. =P I had to say no though because we had things to do and the curlers I used took way too long. I had to do Lainey's hair in three batches, so it took forever. It looked really cute, though!
Anyway what else? Harper gave his brother an inflatable fruit cake for Christmas and wired up a switch and a blower for an air mattress and made it inflate when he opened the box. He bought the fruit cake in Idaho and he has been planning this for 3 Christmases. No, four! That is funny. Emily worked on it with him because they have been doing circuits activities together.
Kids are all in bed and we got Psych season 6, so we're off to watch it. Later! =)

Baby Man, etc.
Titus is growwwwwing up! He just stood up holding onto nothing and took six steps. He has been taking three or four steps at a time for the last couple of days. His first step was about a week ago when he tried to head for Bekah. =)
He has been busy cooking in his little kitchen. My friend Dawn gave the kids this little play kitchen. When she said little, I thought Littlest Pet Shop size little. But she just meant not a big play kitchen. =) It is perfectly Titus-sized. The pieces are maybe 18 inches tall. He likes to cook things on the stove, put them in the oven, and play with the faucet on the sink. =) He is adorable!!
Some other random funnies...
The kids are playing a Zelda game with Harper and it has gorgons in it. The other night, Bekah was on the potty saying "gorgonnnnnns" while she went #2. LOL
Yesterday, Harper said "Get ready to go, kids! We're going to the donut shop!" Em said "Why??" He said "To get donuts!!" She said "Really?!?!?!" =P Too funny. I guess we don't have a reputation for feeding them junk for breakfast, so that's good. lol
At dinner the other night, Bekah said "Since I don't like cucumbers, I'm going to delete them."
The other day Bekah said "What does atrocious mean?"
Me: It means bad, like awful, or horrid.
Lainey: I have to peepee atrociously!!
Me: No, not like that! =P lol
The other day in the car, Titus said "dirty odies." The girls totally cracked up and they have been asking him what odies are and why they are dirty. =)
Bekah has said some really funny things recently... As if she's not always saying funny things... =) But one day she wanted to play The Farming Game and Harp and the other girls were out. I told her we were going to wait for them to get home and play, too. She said "I really want to throw myself on the floor." LOL She didn't do it, though! What a girl! =P
A while before that, she had been playing Legos with Lainey and Lainey did something she didn't like. I think Lainey snatched a Lego from her or something. She said "You make me want to take a nap, but I don't want to have a nap." Haha!! What she meant was that she wanted to freak out at Lainey, but she knew if she was cranky and fought with her sister, she would end up having a nap.
The other day, Bekah invited Lainey to her "feeling good shop." I overheard and I was like hey can I come to your feeling good shop, too? So she said I could come. Well, I followed them into Bekah's feeling good shop (the bathroom) and she pulled out a claw (a claw for your hair) and said that what you do in the feeling good shop is get a claw put on your fingers. LOL!!! I said aaaaaaaaah, this is a BAD feeling good shop!!!!!! And I ran away. =P Hahaha. She cracks me up.
Bekah saw a water tower and said "Water fountain, water fountain!!!!! I mean... It's a water tower." =P

Funny Bekah =)
Bekah is so cute. So, we had strep and she was put on amoxicillin and had a reaction to it on the 9th day and she was covered in speckles. I called her my little monster and she said no, don't call me a monster! So I said okay, Speckle Bek! =) She said no, don't call me a speckle Bek! I said well can't I call you anything cute? She said yeah! I said what? She said "Bekah!" lol
Bekah has been into the Kid K'Nex lately and she has been making "poker ants." She says it as if it's all one word, but they are ants with poky things and they kill bad guys. =P And sometimes they get married to each other and have a baby poker ant. lol She made a tower the other day and told me it was like the save tower in Zelda. =P Harper has a Zelda game for Wii that he plays with the girls (not the scary one - there is more than one).
The other day Bekah was singing and singing and I asked her what she was doing and she said "Oh, I'm singin' up a song." =)
This morning Lainey was loading a cap tray by the window and the sun was bright. She said "I don't like doing caps there because the sun is in my face and the sun is bad for my forehead." I had to laugh. She went on to explain that "it gets on my forehead and makes my brain feel weird." Haha! I said just go to the other side of the tray and load from there. She said "oh." =) She is so funny.
They have really been liking loading cap trays again because we are paying them $1 per tray. =) They used to do it for fun, but it got old. =) I taught Em how to unload the trays yesterday and I'm paying her $1 per tray to unload them, too. It's an easy job, but I can't do either with Titus in my arms, so it helps a ton to have their help. And I like giving them a chance to earn some money in a real way.

Ti Wave!
Ohhhhh, he's so cute!!! Titus started waving today. He puts his arm up and then turns his hand like he is serving something on a platter and just holds it there. =P
We had a great Thanksgiving, with tons of food and a fun family day. Emily made apple pie today and she and Laina made peanut butter balls yesterday. I helped roll them, but they did all the mixing and coating in powdered sugar. I made kahlua cream truffles yesterday, too. Mmm!
Lainey made a banner and Em made some cute things on straws and toothpicks and she made menus. =) So much fun!
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
