It has been a while since we have placed a new jewel on our blog. We still keep track of our kids funny sayings, I have just not been faithful in posting them to our blog. In this new year I will endeavor to put up a new jewel at least once every two weeks, most likely on Mondays. Here is our first jewel for 2008.

On New Year’s eve our six year old daughter walked up to the table where her two grandmothers and one of her cousins were playing a card game. She said, “How about me hopping into this game?” Becky’s mother told her that it would be too hard for her, in fact it was even a little hard for grandma to which our daughter replied, “Well, maybe you should just hop out.”

We got back from the Witnesses Now For Jesus Convention last night and are taking some of the day off to spend with the kids. I took the dog for a walk this morning and the kids came along. Our son wanted to be like Daddy so he put on a hat too. He decided to get silly so he put the hat on sideways. Our daughter laughed and told him that he looked cute. His reply was,

“That’s just the way God made me, thanks!”

Our son recently had a hammer in his hand and said, “If you were to hit yourself in the chest with this hammer, you would be dead for the rest of your life!”

We’ve been getting a lot of rain here in Texas recently and the mosquito’s are loving it. Last week we spent some time in the back yard and got bit up pretty bad. When the kids get bug bites, Becky some times puts calamine lotion on them to help take the “sting” out. Once we got back into the house, our son asked for the “mosquito bite feeling better stuff.”
