Funny Stories

My friend Rebecca has been posting funny things that her kids say and it got me giggling and writing down things my kids say...so here goes.

In the car...
Colby: (playing with action figures) Hi, my name is Scratchy guy.
Brady: Who?
Colby: Scratchy guy.
Brady: That's Wolverine.
Colby: Oh.
Hi, my name's Iron Man.
Hi, my name's Wolverine. I'm going to scratch you.


Also that morning in the car...
Brady: Mom, I wish I had a brother that was Chinese.
(I'm thinking, oh how sweet, because our friend just adopted from China.)
Mom: Why?
Brady: Because this Pokemon card is in Chinese and if I had a Chinese brother he could read it to me.
Mom: Oh, good thinking.

Tball

Another year of Tball for Brady. This makes year 3. He is really getting good though. He is on the Mariners this year. He was a little disappointed- "Dad, we hate the Mariners." Oh well. He gets to be with his buddy, Anthony.

Pep talk by Todd. "Listen to the base coach." After Todd's big speech I made sure the kids knew who the base coach is, because they had no idea. : )
Brady got to play pitcher today. He is great at stopping and fielding balls now. He dove to stop this one and threw to first from his knees. Todd was so proud! His catching is great as well. Todd throws him "pop up" balls high in the air and he gets right under and catchs them.

He is hitting the ball in the outfield almost every at bat. Last week it rolled almost to the fence. He is very proud of his hits. He comes in from the yard every day and tells me that he's working on his "cuts". Those are swings for you "normal" people out there.

Batter up! Elbows ready, crank and smack it!

Big swing!


His throwing is great too. He aims right at you and you better be ready or you'll regret it. He throws hard.

Happy 3rd Birthday Colby!

Well, my baby is 3. I can't believe how fast time flies. On his birthday he walked up to Todd and said. "I'm free (three) now, I'm not two anymo." It took me a few days to convince him that he was not turning 6 like Brady. Look at the attitude in this picture. We are having a joint birthday party in June this year. So, no party pix yet!
