Ambrose Insults

Silas had a stuffed animal that Ambrose wanted and he wouldn't give it back, so Ambrose shouted, "You meany nerdy bad banana!"

Ambrose to Gideon's friend: "Does your mom ever make shark fin soup?"

Gideon's Mother's Day Card

In primary the boys made Mother's Day Cards with coupons inside. This was Gideon's. Apparently he's going to help me by tying up Ambrose.

What Three-Year-Olds Daydream About

Ambrose: "Mom, I have a really good idea. You should dump candy on me...and then I can eat it."

Gideon and Silas were running through the house giggling loudly, so Peter said, "What are you guys doing? What are you running for?" Silas immediately responded with "We're running for president!"

Ambrose's Noisy Eating

As a baby, Ambrose would make these little piglet noises while he was nursing. He is still a noisy eater. I thought I better record this in case he ever outgrows it.

Playing in an Empty Lot

A few weeks ago I had fun taking pictures of the boys playing. Silas cracks me up whenever I pull out the camera.

Silas found this long PVC pipe and knew just what to do with it.

The climbing equipment at the park must not have been challenging enough.

Jacket Controversy

This morning Silas told me that my jacket was hideous. He explained that he didn't like it because it was red--the color of the University of Utah. Affronted, Gideon said, "But Silas, we're part Ute!"

Silas: "What's this paper for?"
Me: "It's teacher appreciation week next week."
Silas: "But I DON'T appreciate my teacher!"
Unfortunately, that's the truth. Silas really hates kindergarten.
