Forgot to set my alarm

My last post was a little over a year ago. I ended it by saying that I wanted to set an alarm to remind myself to write in here weekly. I guess I forgot.

Shortly after my last post I got my dream job! I have been working labor and delivery for over a year now! I still LOVE it! But I have to work nights, and I don't want to work full time. I know I am being picky, but I would love to work part time to have more time at home with my kids and house!

Now to catch up on my hilarious, awesome, random, cute kids! 2012 in review!

January 2012-
 For bed, for the last week, Avery wants to read "the God book". The bible. Then during prayers she said, "and God bless God, we have to remember God because he always remembers us!"

 The kids gave Justin a new nick name tonight. He is now "hot dude". So obviously Brody is "hot boy", Avery is "hot chicka", and I am "hot mama". It's a funny house tonight!

February 2012- 
 Brody Mack- age 3, after eating some of mommy's all you can eat crab out to dinner, "I love crab! And sometimes lobster looks like crab, so I must love lobster too!"

"mom, do you recognize that this is me trying to write my name in English?" Avery Olea 5

 

 Avery just said, "mom I think I am planking."

 

March 2012-

 

 

Car conversations today:
Avery- I am waving to God in heaven.
Brody- Heaven is in the clouds.
Avery- No, Heaven is on Pluto.

 

 Morning car conversations:
Avery- Mom, what's omg mean?
Me- Oh my gosh.
Avery- I thought it was oh my god.
Me- We don't say that.
Avery- Yeah we don't say gods middle name either.
Me- What's gods middle name?
Avery- Dammit.

Brody- There are crocodiles in that pond. They don't eat the ducks. They are friends. Crocodiles eat meat. But not humans. I know lots about crocodiles. I will teach Avery. Hey my feet are friends. They love each other. Oh no my one foot just hit my other foot because they don't want to play the same game. Ok they had a talk and are going to be nice to each other now. One is named caysa and the other is juba. I am hungry.
Me- Um ok.

 

April 2012-

 

 Just almost got knocked the eff out by a s'mored up 3 year old! I will have a headache, waiting to see about the bruise!

 

 

Just threatened Avery that I would give hers toys to kids who need them if she doesn't pick up. She said, "how about I pick up half and you give the rest away to those kids!" she even finds a way to be sweet while being punished!

 

May 2012-

 

 May 28, When work calls and offers for you to be on call for the night you take it. Because it means you get to stay home and watch your daughter ride her bike for the first time. And when that 3:30 AM wake up call comes to go into work you're thankful for the time you had.

 

 At dinner Brody took the to go bag and put it over his head while I wasn't looking. All I heard was Avery say, "Brody, I have no idea why, but, we don't ever put plastic bags over our heads!" Good thing she's been listening! But I apparently need to explain myself better!

 

On our way to Bitty girls last day of kindergarten! I asked her what she learned and she said, "I learned science, the earth spins all the time and we don't feel it and Pluto is just too small to be a planet anymore!"

 

June 2012-

 

  Ok new favorite quote-
Avery-"Brody do you know where God is? He is in here." (pats her heart)

 

 My 2 favorite kid quotes of the day:
Avery-"Brody, I like you better when you are spiderman."
Brody-"momma, that moms bathing suit is brown and white polka dots. It's ugly. Yours is prettier because it is blue with sparkle jewels! I am glad you don't wear ugly clothes."

 

 Avery just said, " white fence farms has the best chicken. I thought it was the inside of an animal chicken. And guess what? It is! And it's yummy. So I like eating animals!"

 

July 2012-

 

 Just asked the kids what they want to watch on tv. Avery said the Olympics! Brody said, "I want to watch the Olympics because the Olympics change the world!"

 

August 2012-

 

 Bittyism of the morning- "everything is not about money. But you sure do have to have money to go to Disneyland!"

 

 Avery just said, "mom, u are hot and I am hot, so together we are too hot!" why yes, Avery you have that right!

 

September 2012-

 

 "I am watching golf. We are the blue team. We winned the first round. It was so cool. Can you mow the lawn today so I can practice my golfing? I want to go to the beach in Texas. They have tables and dinner at the beach in Texas!"

Morning conversations with the cutest boy ever.

 

 Avery-"I want to do something fun tomorrow.........I know! Let's do my homework!"

 

 Brody- "why don't you just call me smart dude instead of Brody from now on?"

 

October 2012-

 

 Just taught my daughter how to make scratch biscuits on the counter like my Nana taught me. It was so good to remember being in that tiny kitchen in Comanche making biscuits and fried chicken. She was amazed.

 

 Brody just said, "You should be strong girl for Halloween because you are like a superhero Mommy!" Love him!

 

 Love that Brody asks me for homework every day, and Avery is the sweetest girl ever. She gave Brody her glow stick to sleep with last night because his was broken all on her own. My kids are amazing!

 

November 2012-

 

 Avery- "momma, can I eat a body part? Like a foot, an ear, or an eyeball?" Gotta love Halloween candy!

 

Phew status overload! It is so fun looking back! Ok, off to REALLY set the alarm on my phone!
