Ian-ism

We got our US State Quarters map out to put a new one on. Ian leaned over and searched it for a while and then frowning, turned to me and asked, "Mommy, where's Africa?"

:D

EASTER EGG HUNT!

Are you ready to find the eggs?

GO!

Kid-isms

A friend of mine posts cute things that her kids say on her blog, and it is just too funny, every time. I've done the same thing a few times, except that I've put it in a word document. I found that document tonight and I thought, "Why not put it in the blog? Share the funny stuff!" So here are a few of what I call Damekisms, with an Ianism thrown in at the end. :)

5 years old

Damek: “Hmm, now what was I going to draw?”

Mommy: “I don’t know, what were you going to draw?”

Damek: “No, I was telling me.”

6 years old

(The "secret stairs" are back stairs that lead up to the third level.)

Mommy: “Damek, could you turn off the secret stairs light for me? I’ll get the other one.”

Damek: “That’s ok. You do most of the work around here, so I’ll get the other one for you.”

3 years old

Ian: “Mommy, are you sick?”

Mommy: “No, I have a headache. My head hurts.”

Ian: “I got to fix it. I got to get the scissors and clip your hair off your head. And then all better!”

hee hee hee ...

Precious

I don't have the words to describe what these pictures do to my heart, but hey world, this is my family. Please pray for them, because they're not out of the woods yet.



I have more of them, but they're on my cell phone and I haven't found that cord yet. That's Megara with the microphone, Kenobi playing video games with Ian, and those twins at the bottom? lol That's Damek and his Uncle Moses. (No, those aren't their real names. Protecting their identity at the moment. But they really are Calista and Damek's aunt and uncles.)

I will post more when I can find that cord.

Miss you guys ...


UPDATE!!! Megan, Ben and Aaron are now officially in foster care until their 18th birthdays!! Praise the Lord, he answered our prayers with a positive! I can now talk about them all I want. :) We'll be seeing Megan, at least, for Damek's birthday party at the end of the month! YAY GOD! lol

Google Tag

This is HILARIOUS! Do it! Trust me, it's really funny.

1. Type in "[your name] needs" in Google search

Result: "Bekah needs a team of committed people to pray for her and her ministry -I couldn't agree more bekah needs help."

(Yessiree! To both parts of the sentence.)

2. Type in "[your name] looks like" in Google search

Result: "Bekah looks like a royal caught at the slopes."

(I wouldn't be caught dead at the slopes. Klutz. So there you have it.)

3. Type in "[your name] says" in Google search.

Result: "Bekah. says:. "You live your life like a loaded gun because you're young..."

(Yep! Me and guns. What IS it with us??)

4. Type in "[your name] wants" in Google search

Result: "Bekah wants at long last to be at peace w/ the Universe."

(That doesn't quite fit with what God said about me. I'm a boat rocker. Hee hee. Know peas!)

5. Type in "[your name] does" in Google search

Result: "Bekah does not switch her hips, she swaggers."

(Considering I've never watched my hips walk, I'll trust my husband to make that call.)

Result: "Bekah hates the winter weather!"

(AMEN! Finally they got something right!! lol)

7. Type in "[your name] asks" in Google search

(Yeah. Well, they were supposed to make sense, but I got to the 15th Google page and this was the best I could do. lol Unusually spelled names ...)

12. Type in "[your name] was arrested for" in Google Search

Result: "Bekah was arrested for reading Rachel's blog! Because when she put "Bekah was arrested for" into the Google search engine, on page 5 it had Rachel's blog! NOT KIDDING! lolololol"

(Seriously! It's right there. Try it.)

Oh that was funny. I bet Chris' name would be even more hilarious, because it's so common. The more common the name, the better results you're bound to get!

So try it. It was fun. :D

Arg.

This is me.

I'm tired.

It's been a busy two months.

With four sets of grandparents and their accompanying children and grandchildren, the Christmas season is usually very interesting for us. And yes, it usually lasts two months. Just took the Christmas decorations down this weekend. lol

For those who have wanted me to update my blog, even during the Christmas chaos, I can't find the darn camera cords!! I have great pictures, good stories, fun things to tell ... and no way to get the visuals onto the computer. What is a great blog story without visuals, I tell ya?

*sigh *

I will re-scour the house soon, but for now I have to wait until the family is over this stomach bug. Poor Ember has been sick for two days, but her fever broke earlier today. Ah, well. Life with many kids - never a dull moment!

Ok, now I really got to go look like that kitty. Goodnight! ;)

A Little Ham With Your Spaghetti . . . ?

The sound appears to be faster than the video, but oh well! Hopefully that won't last. :)
