WHY TIDBITS?

I am constantly laughing at all the funny things my kids say.  Sometimes it's only a couple words, sometimes it's just how they sound when they are talking, but I ALWAYS think, "I need to remember this".   I've tried in the past to post them on my blog, but I haven't found a great way to do it.  So, the idea of Tidbits evolved.  A blog dedicated to the daily things my kids say.  
Some posts may not make sense, they may not even be post worthy, but for some reason or another, they seemed important to me at the time.  I hope by doing this it will preserve a part of this amazing time in their lives into my memory for years to come. 
If you want to join Tidbits... email me and I'll set you up so you can post as well.  I'm hoping this turns into a really fun blog we can all enjoy!!

LIttle Helper

Avery Age 2 1/2

Tonight we were getting in our car and I had a glass container on the floor by Avery's seat. She stepped into the car and I heard her start to moan like she was worried. Then I heard a crash! My glass container was shattered on the driveway. I went over to take a look and said, "Avery, did you throw that out of the car". Avery replied, "No. I try save it".

Sacrament Meeting Horror

Avery age 2 1/2 and Kaden age 5

I was not there to witness this first hand, but my friend told me what happened. I guess Brian had to go out of sacrament meeting with Brighton. He asked Kaden to stay and watch Avery (uhhh.... ya... I can see this story ending beautifully before it even begins)

So here's what happens.. DURING THE SACRAMENT MIND YOU!!!!!
Brian is gone and Avery gets out of her chair and starts running down the aisle towards the front of the chapel saying, "Kaden, come and get me!!"
She continues to run up the stairs to the stand, turns around and says, "Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na"
(of course... all the people in church are laughing at her now instead of feeling the spirit)
Kaden looks up at her embarrased and says, "Oh great. Avery? Oh no." He doesn't know what to do. (Thank goodness he doesn't decide to go after her because that would have for sure made her high tail it across the stage)
All of this during the sacrament with no parents in sight. I'm out of town, Brian is in the hall with Bright and Avery wanting her brother to chase her down the halls of the chapel. (Hmmm.. Why do we go to church again?)
Luckily, I have great friends who stepped in and grabbed Avery and let her sit with them until Brian could get back.
Oh my gosh! I don't know what else to say. I am actually speechless. Hopefully Heavenly Father has a sense of humor. Thank goodness He loves children.

Dad Busted

Kaden Age 5

Mom left on a girls weekend trip the last few days and this is what Kaden said about Sunday.

"Mom... we were SO late for church we went straight to sacrament meeting!! "

"In the morning, dad made us watch Handy Manny and Curious George!" (we usually only watch church shows on Sunday)

"Mom... dad said we don't have any macaroni and cheese. Where is it?" (said it as if he didn't believe his dad)

Family Night Lesson

Kaden age 5

Kaden said he wanted to do the family night lesson tonight. This is how it went.

"Tonight my lesson is on the temple. The temple of united states of america is a place that makes me feel happy. I go there when I'm bigger. And also the lamanites."

(hmmm..... I wonder what different stories he learned in church today?)
