New Camera

Sadly our old camera bit the dust a few weeks ago so we were FORCED to get a new one! =) I'm sure the new one takes really great pictures - I just don't know how to do it! I guess I should take a photography class like everyone else. Anyway - here are some pics from the last few weeks with the new camera.

I only get pictures from behind nowadays!

Mr. Talkative

For those of you that know Mark well, you know he has always been a talker. Sometimes I think he talked a little too well too soon because we started treating him like he was older because it was clear what he could and couldn't understand from an early age. Anyway, lately he has really been cracking us up with his expressions and "stories" and excuses. I just want to share a few things that may or may not be funny to you but also some things I just don't want to forget!

1.) He used to use the correct name for tape measure but the other day he said, "Daddy, do you need your take-a-measure?"

2.) I'd rather have juice. (I just like the use of the word 'rather')

3.) Hi Dad, How you doin' today?

4.) Mark, did you gas? "No, that was a train tooting."

5.) 0650AM - Mark, why are you out of bed already? "Because my knees hurt."

6.) Pick up your toys. "I don't know how."

7.) Mark you need to decide inside your head to be happy - no one else can do it for you. "But I'm just a little boy" (That one made me feel about one inch tall and the worst parent inthe world!

8.) The guys will like this one. While using the bathroom with John at a restaurant, "Daddy, why is yours long?" You should have seen the grin on John's face!

9.) Mark, why are you already awake from your nap? "This chicken came in here and said cock-a doodle-doo."

10.) After getting in trouble, "Nobody loves me. Only God and Jesus love me."

11.) I'm still coughing and sneezing. Tell Mommy my allergy medicine didn't work."

There have been so many more but I forget them! I need to write them down as he says them! Anyway, like I said they may not seem funny but when you see how little the person is that's saying it- it cracks you up!

The Attorney

So my parents always said I should be a lawyer because I can argue with a wall. Well the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Listen to this "conversation" between John and Mark last night in the car:

M: Put my blankie back here by me.

J: No, your blankie is up here with us until you say you're sorry for not listening to my words.

M: Parents aren't supposed to have blankies.

J: We don't. We just have yours because you weren't listening to our words.

M: Well, I'll come get it.

J: You can't, you're strapped in your seat.

M: Well I'll get out.

J: You can't. I tightened it already.

M: Well, Mr. Incredible will help me.

J: Mr. Incredible isn't real.

M: Yes he is. He's right there.

J: Where?

M: He's running beside the car.

J: He can't run as fast as a car.

M: Yes he can- just like Dash.

J: I'm gonna lock the doors so he can't get in.

M: Well, he'll break open the door.

J: No, I won't let him.

M: Oh. Well, I'm not ready to say sorry yet.

J: YES!! I WON!

I don't know, maybe its not funny if you weren't there but I was laughing so hard. Just listening to the two of them go back and forth was cracking me up.
We've got a long road ahead of us folks!
