Spring Break Slugs

Last week we took the trek out to Iowa to visit some friends we left behind and put a sign on some land we'd like to sell. I'd like to say our boys enjoyed the beautiful scenery...but there's not much you can say about Nebraska scenery if you know what I mean. So, they spent the majority of the 12 hour trip either sleeping or glued to the new DVD player we had installed just before leaving. Enjoy the pics of our little slugs that never even blinked during the countless hours of Dora the Explorer and The Wiggles.

To make matters worse, we misplaced our camera and later found it in our luggage. Thus, the grainy dark photographs of our dear friends, the Graffs. We are working on recruiting them out to Colorado to live next year. They have four adorable boys and we enjoyed many great times with them as well as other great friends while we were out there.

Deep Thoughts of a Six Year Old

"So who is the first person the baby sees when she comes out of you?"

"When we ate food in the pre-mortal life, our food would fall out of our bodies just after we ate it."

"When we were spirits in heaven and we gave High 5's, Our hands just went right through each other"

"Mom, If I don't get married by the time I'm old, I will just go on a Mission."

"From now on, I'm going to be a 'Thumb's up' guy." What does that mean Ethan? "Than I'm not gonna wet my pants anymore. "

Second Day of Kindergarten:
Teacher: "...and this is the class kitchen"
Ethan: "But this is fake!" "When are we going to the real kitchen?"

"Mom, Can we buy a dog that isn't certain?" What are you talking about Ethan? "You said that you are allergic to certain dogs, so I want to get one that isn't certain."

"Mom, Are you gonna color your hair soon? I'm tired of looking at that dark brown hair. I want it to be lighter...like red."

"I don't like Sundays!" "Why can't we stay home from church like everyone else?" Who is everyone else? "All the people that ride their bikes and play golf !"

" Mom, do we get closer to dying the older we get?" "Yea. I guess so." "So grandma and grandpa are closer to dying than me and Carter?" "Yea. I guess you can say that."

"What was the first bathroom ever???" "I don't know, Ethan? I give up." "Grass and trees!"

"We need to get BAM Toilet Unclogger...it unclogs toilets and drains and cleans stains!!"

"If spiders weren't invented...would flies rule the whole earth?

"I wish I could make 3 copies of myself in a clone machine so if a mean guy tried to take me away, he wouldn't know which Ethan to take."

"If I get bit by a spider...will I be able to climb walls and ceilings?

"Where can we buy 5 teleporters? I bet we can go to a teleporter store" Why do you want 5 teleporters, Ethan? "So we can go to Hawaii."

"I didn't wet my pants...just my underwear."
"
"Hey mom I just found Saturn in my cereal bowl! See the planet..and there's the ring."

"Mom, Did you know that SPACE PACK storage bags are guaranteed to lock out dirt, bugs and moisture. You can store seasonal items and they are made of nylon." "So do you want them or not?"
