7/8/11 Julia again... so we are getting dressed to start our day. Jules decides she'd like pig tails in her hair. I oblige and she looks adorable! She checks herself out in my big mirror and then goes into the classic flirty-girly shoulders up, head cocked to one side, arms down with hands clasped together in front of her waist, gently moving from side to side and gushes "Oh Mommy I'm in LOOVE." I, inwardly rolling my eyes but playing along, say "with who?" she replies with that sugary sweet breathy voice "Keith." We don't know a Keith so I am not tracking this.. nope no fairy tale Princes named Keith that I know of either.. WHO is Keith? I ask. "Oh Mommy you know - from the Power Rangers.. I just looove him." Blech! Geez-a-loo!!
6/10/2011 I can't believe it's been a few days and I haven't posted any hilarious Julia-isms.. well here is a good one! Alex was having a frustrating day we were chatting about it, when Jules decides to join us. She randomly interjects "paddock is an Attic" Alex and I look over at her perplexed... I inform her "paddock RHYMES with attic"she lowers her head and looks like she is pinching the bridge of her nose.. I ask her what she's doing she says with frustration dripping out of her voice "this is what boys do." and piches the bridge of her nose and shakes her head again - total guy sign of annoyance for sure! Apparently paddock is an attic in her universe - what do I know!
6/5/11 To the kids to dinner tonight to our local favorite pizza place. The kids are being super good especially with Dad out of town on business. We get to laughing about something when all of the sudden Jules toots and loudly. I look at her and we crack up laughing! Sie can't figure it out so asks what we're laughing about. Julia looks Sie in the eye and says "we're laughing cuz you drooled on your face!" Holy socks!!! She just flat out lied off the cuff.. never a good thing, but hilarious! Then Julia looks at me and says "farts are secret!" I about fell out of my chair!
4/2011 Another Julia favorite: we have lunch weekly with my Mom and Auntie Darla. Julia asks my Aunt how old she is to which my very saucy Aunt replies "Older than dirt." So a few days later.. Jules and I are at a horse show when Julia chats up some nice older lady then asks her how old she is. The nice older lady says "I'm very old" to which Julia knowingly nods and says "Oh, you're older than dirt!" Yikes!! Outta the mouths of my babes..
4/2011 Mark and I take Jules to Home Depot with us for materials for my new raised garden beds! Julia strikes up a conversation with a nice older gentleman buying materials for "the most expensive Chicken Coop he's ever built." Anyway, she chattily tells this man all about how she goes on playdates with her friends Olivia and Leah. Then she pauses and asks him quite seriously "Do you go on Man playdates?" (Oh my!) This nice man never misses a beat and replies "Yes, but I call them fishing trips!" HILARIOUS!!!
2000-2001 Sierra is 13 and my oldest child. She was one of those babies that came home sleeping 6 hours straight thru the night, never fussed, was super easy going, never wandered or made trouble. The kind of sweet child every mother dreams about! When she was about 3 Dad was installing a new surround sound system or fixing it and getting frustrated pops off with a less than desirable 4 letter word.. Sierra looks at him primly and says "you know if you say that today... I'm just gonna repeat it tomorrow." Out of the mouths of babes =)
8/2010 Alex is 7 and "My Pal Al". He is truly a carbon copy of his Daddy. They have the same look and outgoing winning personality. Mini-politicians =) He is super charming, courteous, smart and easy going. Alex has tons of boy energy, but never is mean. We are on a trip to Yellowstone National Park.. I accidentally leave my cell phone in the ladies restroom.. I immediately notice it's missing and go running back to retrieve but its gone. I quickly go to the lodge reception and report it missing.. long story short, a wonderful cleaning lady found it and turned it in. After retrieving it and leaving a finders fee Alex informs me he needs to use the restroom.. He enters the mens room by himself.. a few seconds later an older gentleman enters the mens room as well. Pretty soon you hear my son say "Hi.. " and so he starts this truly like 5 minute conversation with this guy in the restroom. People walk in and out of the restroom while I sit there waiting, very red faced, for my chatty, eternally friendly son to finish his business and restroom conversation.
11/2010 Julia Ann (Jules) is never going to be a child I describe as 'mellow and easy going.' She is going to be an amazing woman if she makes it to adulthood! Safety inventions for kids were created for children like my Julia Ann. She is hilarious and wicked smart, but devious and scary curious.. It's not enough that we say "No, that is soo dangerous" she has to find out. Not to mention, she says the funniest things... however, not always appropriate.. We are traveling to Texas for Thanksgiving. We were pushing hard in the RV to get there. That meant meals while driving. Its been a long day of travel. We are all hungry and tired, making for a very cranky crew. I have a pizza cooking (while we're driving.. filling the cab with delicious aroma) that will be ready when we stop for the night. We pull into to our one-night home, tensions are thick as Mark takes the pizza out of the oven. It smells soo good and none of us are talking, but the whole crew is soo ready to pounce on this pizza baby. Pizza number 2 is in the oven as well, making our tummys really grumble. Mark flips open the pop up counter extension to use to cut the pizza, while Sierra and I get the table set for dinner. Mark pushes the pizza cutter into the pizza and the counter un-latches, dropping our dinner onto the dirty, traveled all day, with a long haired golden retriever, RV carpet CHEESE SIDE DOWN!! NOOOO!!! We all stare dumbfounded and quite frankly FURIOUS!! No one says a word.. the tension is crazy thick.. we just stare at our ruined dinner... then Julia stands up with hands fisted at her sides and yells "F**K!" OMG!!!! Out of the mouths of my babes..
2010 Then one time the kids are all playing and its a crazy barely in control play. Tickling laughing.. everything they say is somehow hilarious to each other.. kind of play. At one point it is Sierra and Jules yelling goofy slanderous barbs to Alex and vice versa.. Sierra whispers in Julia's ear to yell at Alex "Die Alien Scum!" to which Julia repeats as a very serious "DIE GOALIE AND GUM!" They all fall out flat dieing of laughter..
