A Little Misunderstood

Sometimes as an adult I forget that kids don't always know the meanings to commonly used phrases that WEREN'T meant to be taken LITERALLY!!! For example: Cut the cheese, Saw some logs, Don't push my buttons, I'm so hungry I could eat a horse, Slap me silly, or I feel fit as a fiddle. Okay these aren't great, but it was what I came up with last minute!

Anyway, anyone who knows me, knows that I can say some pretty weird phrases. Well earlier today, I went in to help Tayden on the potty (Yes, I still make sure he wipes all the way clean!!!) and I gave him the go-ahead to "flush that puppy down". I use the word "puppy" to refer to many things, in this case it was poop! He started to get panicked and said I don't want to flush him down! Now I am thinking "What in the crap?" Literally, CRAP, flush it down! But I looked down to see him holding a stuffed dog! So I quickly cleared that misunderstanding up! Good thing he doesn't listen to me ALL of the time or we would be having major plumbing issues!

Virginia Bound!!!






Well our trip to Virginia has come and gone! It was SO awesome! First of all, it was great for Bo and I to have a trip to ourselves, I know, I am still getting over the shock and we have been back for weeks!!! But the BEST part was getting to meet all of Bo's family that I have never met! They all welcomed us into their homes and their lives with no questions asked!!! Little did they know what they were getting into!!! Love is a crazy thing. Just when you think it comes from knowing someone for a long time and growing with them, you meet family for the first time and you INSTANTLY feel love for them! What an amazing gift that Heavenly Father blesses us with-the ability to love and be loved!

Thank you to all our Danville Family! We love you and wish we were a tad bit closer! Thank you for the laughs, the memories, and the food!!! I think I am still full!!! WE LOVE YOU!!! And the DVD is coming soon!
