Our oldest son was commiserating over the fact that he lost a dice game and ended up with zero points. He sighed, "I'm such a dumb loser." Our daughter, in an attempt to make him feel better said, "You're just a loser, you're not dumb."

I was eating supper with the two older kids when our oldest son said, "I don't like that song." A veggie tales CD was playing in the background and the song which just came on was The Hokey Pokey. I asked, "Why don't you like this song?"

It just doesn't make any sense.

What about it doesn't make sense?

Well, it never really tells you what it's all about.



You know, he's got a point...

A few weeks ago one of my friend's from our Sunday school class hosted a guys night out. We ate BBQ, played Texas Hold 'em poker and played Rock Band until 1:00 in the morning. Out of the blue, our oldest son asked at breakfast this morning, "Daddy, you know that Man party you went to?"

I answered, "Yes."

He asked, "Did you play hot potato there?"

This past Monday night our family had an appointment at the hospital in preparation for the impending birth of our third child. We decided to make it a family date night and took the kids to Carino's Italian Grill. They've got this amazing deal on Monday nights where you buy a "family meal" for the price of the single entree.' The family meal feeds at least three adults and is quite enough for me, Becky and our two kids.

The dish we had on Monday night was called Chicken Milano which included four chicken breasts covered with ham, cheese and a generous portion of noodles with Alfredo sauce. Mmmmm, Alfredo sauce! Me and Alf get along real nice!

As we were eating, our daughter said the following about our meal;

"This is so good, I can't keep my taste buds off of it!"

Our four year old son was outside and was getting use to his new bike. He almost fell off his bike and said,

"If I crash, I could fall and break my bone head."

Here is a deep thought from our daughter from a couple of years ago.

"When I dream, I imaginate things that are pretend."

Wow, man. That's, like, philosophical....

When our son was 3 1/2 years old, he was still having trouble pronouncing his "L's." They usually come out as an "R" or a "W." He was trying to sing a song and it came out;

"I'm gonna crap when the Spirit says crap,
I'm gonna crap when the Spirit says crap,
I'm gonna crap when the Spirit says crap,
and obey the Spirit of the Word!"

It has been a while since we have placed a new jewel on our blog. We still keep track of our kids funny sayings, I have just not been faithful in posting them to our blog. In this new year I will endeavor to put up a new jewel at least once every two weeks, most likely on Mondays. Here is our first jewel for 2008.

On New Year's eve our six year old daughter walked up to the table where her two grandmothers and one of her cousins were playing a card game. She said, "How about me hoping into this game?" Becky's mother told her that it would be too hard for her, in fact it was even a little hard for grandma to which our daughter replied, "Well, maybe you should just hop out."

We got back from the Witnesses Now For Jesus Convention last night and are taking some of the day off to spend with the kids. I took the dog for a walk this morning and the kids came along. Our son wanted to be like Daddy so he put on a hat too. He decided to get silly so he put the hat on sideways. Our daughter laughed and told him that he looked cute. His reply was,

"That's just the way God made me, thanks!"

We've been getting a lot of rain here in Texas recently and the mosquito's are loving it. Last week we spent some time in the back yard and got bit up pretty bad. When the kids get bug bites, Becky some times puts calamine lotion on them to help take the "sting" out. Once we got back into the house, our son asked for the "mosquito bite feeling better stuff."

The kids and I were doing some weeding in our yard recently when I found a small bird egg under the big tree in our front yard. I asked the kids, "Guess what this fell out of." Our son said, "A bird."

One day our family was sitting on our son's bed after getting the kids up from their naps and we were playing around being silly. Our son made this interesting sorting sound so I copied it. We both sounded like pigs, but it was pretty funny. In the past, our daughter has accidentally snorted while she laughs so I asked her if she could snort too. Her reply was, "Mommy doesn't like me to snort because she said it isn't very ladyable."

One of the things our kids always pray for is their Uncle Kimo who is currently serving the Army in his second tour in Iraq. If Mommy or Daddy forgets, the kids will always remind us to pray that Uncle Kimo is safe and comes home soon. Whenever we see soldiers, the kids get excited because they remind them of their uncle. They will run up to them and tell them that their uncle is in Iraq and that they always pray for him. Every solider we have talked to appreciates the thoughtfulness of our kids. This jewel was inspired by Uncle Kimo.

Yesterday our son put a little wooden stool on his head like it was a helmet. He then stated that he was a soldier in the "Army of Uncle Kimo."

Our 3 1/2 year old son was counting by fives on his fingers. When he stopped at 25, our daughter then said, "Thirty." Our son looked back down at his fingers and said, "I don't got thirty."
