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!!

Family Night

Camri Age 2 1/2

Tonight for family night Eric was explaining to the kids that on Christmas we celebrate Jesus birthday and we receive gifts but we are also able to give gifts. He told them that they were going to earn money this week by doing jobs and then go buy a present for someone.

Eric: Garrett who would you like to buy a present for with your money?
Garrett: um...me!
Eric: Camri who do you want to buy your present for?
Camri: Jesus

Frustration

Kaden age 5

Kaden and Avery were playing in the tub this morning and they had all their bath toys nicely lined up on the ledge of the tub. Avery kept knocking them down (shocking.. I know)

Kaden finally got fed up with it and said, "Uggggghhh, Avery... work with me here!" as he put the toys back up onto the ledge.

How Did Jesus Get Owies in His Hands?

Avery age 2 1/2

During church yesterday I was trying to teach Avery about the holes in Jesus's hands during the sacrament. I asked her where the "owies" on Jesus hands were and she pointed to her palms. (so cute.. by the way)
I then asked her how Jesus got hurt. She said, "Jesus was playing and he running too fast and fell down and got hurt"
