Quotable Quotes

"Nothing is going to startle us more, when we pass through the veil to the other side than to realize how well we know our Father, and how familiar his face is to us."

"Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be" - Abraham Lincoln

"The only way to keep your health is to eat what you don't want, drink what you don't like and do what you'd rather not." - Mark Twain

"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." - Eleanor Roosevelt

"I'd rather be house poor and family rich, than the other way around." - Dr. Phil McGraw

From the Mouths of Babes...

One day while we were driving down a pothole ridden street in our green van dubbed "THE HULK", I hit a huge pothole and veered to the side of the road... Eden (4) said very seriously... "HULK IS ANGRY!"

"She (The Tooth Fairy) will come, I just know it! And if she doesn't... I'm gonna punch her in the face!" ~Eden (5)

After I gave Oliver a haircut he said, "Mom! I still have delicate soft hair!" ~Oliver (7)

Eden saying to Ollie, "You're an Elf and I'm Chinese!" 12/28/08

Oliver said this to my Uncle Dave on the phone when I was in the hospital in Iowa City, "She (me) takes 18 pills a day so she can pee and poop." January 2009

Eden exclaimed, "Oh, Jaren... MOTHER OF PEARL!!!" Apparently, Jaren did something that wasn't to Eden's liking! February 2009

"Hey... our sister's back from the dead!!!" Eden said this while we were playing Barbie's the other night. 2/2/09

Ed flexed his bicep muscles for the kids and Eden exclaims, "WOW! Where did you get those!?!" February 2009

Eden said to me one day while riding in the van, "Sometimes when I run, I feel like I could lift off the ground and fly through the air." February 2009

"MOM! Guess what! I have TWO girlfriends! They say that I'm hot and they want to go on a date with me!!!" Oliver told me this right as he walks in the door after school one day!2/27/09

"The rootbeer is GROWLING!" Oliver (The Cub Scouts made homemade rootbeer at their pack meeting!) September 2009

Eden was singing to her baby brother (in my belly) and then she started singing into my belly button. She then informed me that it was "the speaking hole" for the baby! October 2009

Oliver started saying our nighttime prayer and Jaren got mad and yelled, "MY PRAYER!!!" because HE wanted to be the one to say it. He wants to say the prayer EVERY night. He is sooo dang cute when he folds his arms and bows his head! October 9, 2009

We were talking about Spirits being near us but we can't see them. Eden jokingly says... "I just saw a ghost walk into our bathroom. DON'T PLUG UP THE TOILET, RICK!!!!!" I'm like... WHAT?! I was laughing so hard. November 2012 - Eden, age 9.

"Dad is old. I saw his white hairs..." Jaren, age 5 November 2012

"Because I'm nervous." - Phineas' response to everything.
"Thank you please" - Phineas' way of asking nicely for something. Age 2 - 2012
