sh*t my kids says

When Dreydan says something that makes me laugh out loud or leaves me staring at the wall thinking WTF just happened?,
I have to write it down. I was looking through that notebook &
these were some of my favorites.

//He ripped off a leg of one of his toys & came running to me...
 Mooom! Look at this.. oh no. Will you fix it?
Sure! Lemme see it.
Well maybe, actually...maybe I should find someone else.

//I asked him once to sing me a song.
Sing? That's so stupid. Maybe you should ask dad.
and then he leaves the room.

//Heard him having some chats with his toys in his room so I walk in and say
Hey dude!Whatcha playin'?
Turns to me with thee most serious face I've ever seen and says 
You should probably go.
And continued to stare at me until I left... What. The. Fuh?

//Going over to his cousin Konnor's house.
Mom, are you SURE we're going to Konnor's? Don't take me to the store. I don't want to shop.

//I sneeze.
Well God bless you, mom! Now say thank you....

//When we argue about anything, he points his finger and says
You stop it right now mom! You don't say that! Get out of my room!
even when we're not in his room.

//Recently he's discovered his balls & asked Tyler what they were. So everyday it's...
Mom check it out, these are my balls! Look mom! Do you have balls too? This is MY ball sack.
THANKS TY. 

//When we're at the park, he attacks random kids with kindness. And it's weird.
Hey you are my friend. My best friend. Are you my brother? Wanna play with me brother?
Dreydan, he's not your brother, stop bein' a creep.
Yes he is my brother! And I'm a dinosaur! He's my baby dinosaur!

//In the car on the way home. He asked for a cupcake & I told him we were going to have dinner first.
We're having donuts for dinner! And after I eat aallll of my donuts, I get cupcakes! OKAY?

//Walks into my room one day and says
Hey mom? Do you have to go potty?
Nope I don't...
Okay well you better let me know when you have to pee!
Walks out.

//While reading to him his fave dinosaur book
What is this dinosaur called?
Oviraptor
I think you're wrong.
The book says it's an Oviraptor.
.....I think this book is wrong.

seriously i could go on & on & on....

Summer lovin'!

I'm welcoming summer with open arms & never letting go!
I'm joining Ashley for Sunday Social to talk 'bout it.

What is my best summer memory as a kid?
It was the last day of 1st grade. My crush told me he was going to walk me home, yesss! When we got to
my house, he asked me if I wanted to ride bikes everyday with him... Swoooon!
Best. Summer. Ever.

What is your favorite summer drink?
If you know anything about me you know I'll take a DP over anything.
But I love fresh homemade limeade, with extra pulp! It reminds me of my grandma & I love that.

What is my favorite summer TV show movie?
Knocked up...

What is the best outdoor summer activity?
Anything to do with water! I've said it once & I'll say it again, LAKE POWELL!
It's my home away from home. I love everything about it there.

What are my summer vacation essentials?
Sunglasses, bathing suit, beach tote, tanning lotion, & chapstick.
Boom.

Our tradition!

Every time this girl & I get together, we have to hit Blockbuster 
& find the scariest movies for our Horror Movie Fest.

{not sure why the sign says 'action' but it's def the horror section}

Unfortunately, we SUCK at picking new movies. 
I mean, we've seen all the good ones already, so we have to dig & try really hard to not get something terrible. 
Which happens every time.


This time we picked out The Triangle, The Thaw, & New Nightmare.
We felt good about our picks because they had some good actors like, Melissa George, Liam Hemsworth {hello!}, Val Kilmer, & Shawn Ashmore {weston from the following. double hello!}.

We had our treats ready...
 
We were ready to be all like

Instead it was more like

and seriously, if you haven't seen THIS youtube video, do it. funny as hell.

But the bottom line is, we're creeps. And we love that scurry shit!

Sometimes {fam pic fail edition}

Sometimes when all I want is a cute random family pic, it's like asking Amanda Bynes to stop posting disgusting selfies on Twitter.
Will never happen.

{oooh so close}

Tyler is actually looking at the camera thee whole time! That never happens.
Dreydan is avoiding any sort of camera interaction.
Me. WTF is wrong with you ya crack head? Pull yourself together...

I give up!

Snow Canyon

Southern Utah is one of my most favorite places to be. It's GORGEOUS! Beautiful red mountains, amazing hiking and not to mention the weather is always right up my alley, 80 degrees+...loveee!

We drove down this past weekend to visit Ty's grandma in St. George. Recently, her hubby passed away and so she's been getting lots of family visits during the weekends. She was thrilled when Ty called and told her we were coming.

I love road trips with Tyler. He's so NOT a "road trip" person & hates being in the car for very long. Especially when he's the driver {i'm the total opposite. i love them!}. So what do I do? Make him drive alllll the way down and force him to tell me stories the whole time. His 2 least favorite things. Ever. He loves me! Don't ya babe :))

We hit up Snow Canyon on Sunday and took Dreydan on his first real hike. He's the best little hiking buddy. Collecting sticks, throwing rocks, begging to us to find dinosaur eggs... seriously, thee best. We had a mini picnic at the bottom of our trail & then started making our way back up. Tyler had to carry Drey for a bit on the way out but after walking almost 2 miles, what 2 year old wouldn't?

{according to drey, that giant hole is a dinosaur cave. he's prob right}


I mean just look at that scenery!!
Love it.
