Kids are funny

My friend Julie just did a blog on funny things her kids have said. I wish I could remember the funny things mine say, I have good intentions of writing them all down one day! But I think I have forgotten most of them. But here are a few funny things they have done/said.

Last week before Eric left the boys were out playing in the back yard. Robbie and Kamren were daring each other to put their tongue on Koda's kennel. Obviously we did not know this was going on. The next thing we know Kam is running in crying and has a very bloody tongue. His tongue stuck to the kennel and he ripped it off! OUCH! It was kinda funny, but Eric and I did not laugh until they were in bed. And Kam was healed, it looked like it was painful.

When you tell David he is cute, or funny or that he is something he looks at you and says, "I am not cute (or whatever you have said he is), I'm a stinker!"

When it is time for bed David will tell us "I slept good till the morning, I not need to sleep"

I sure love these boys!

Parent Teacher Conference

Last night we had parent/teacher conferences. As Eric is out of town again I took the two little boys with me, that was fun! But, this is a blog about bragging about my two older boys, so hang on as this entire blog is a proud mom moment! :)
Robbie has all A's and one A-, his teacher had nothing but great things to say about him. These are some of her remarks:
He is a quiet student who keeps to himself and is very respectful.
He loves sports and includes others at recess.
He loves to read and is at a fifth grade third month level.
He is very bright but does not boast about it.
He does not like to have attention given to himself.
It is a pleasure to have him in class and I don't have any concerns.
That was so nice to hear. I know he is a great kid and is loves school and learning. I don't know where he came from. But I am very thankful for him and his hard work and love of learning.
Kamren had all 4's (they don't get grades yet) 4 is the highest. So he is doing well. Here are some of the comments his teacher made:
Kamren has A LOT of friends.
He includes everyone and everyone loves him.
He is very bright.
He loves to read and is at a second grade sixth month level.
He is VERY SOCIAL!!!
He forgets to raise his hand and is so excited about answering questions.
He loves to help others and loves to talk!
He needs to remember to put his homework in his binder...not just his backpack!
He loves to write notes and draws pictures on his homework.
He always gets his work done on time
Kamren is my boy! My mom would always come home for ptc and say that the teachers said I was a good student, I just needed to learn to not talk so much. I just had to laugh. His teacher is a neighbor so we both just laughed, cause that is just Kam. But at Church it is a different story, he is so quiet. I guess that is a good thing.
It was fun to hear how different the boys are. This is something I know, but it was fun to see how their teachers see them. It is fun to have them so different, it keeps me guessing on what they will do next.
Before Christmas their Nana Larsen and I went and had lunch with the boys at school. Kamren had lunch first and the entire time people were coming up to Kam and saying hi and just wanting to talk to him. It was fun to see him in his social glory! Then in came Robbie. He is Mr. serious and quiet. He has his select few friends and is good with that. He has a variety of friends that don't really play together unless Robbie gets them all together. He is one that gets along with anyone and likes to do everything. It was so much fun to see him in his social environment.
I guess that I have said what I wanted to and bragged enough about the boys. They are so much fun and I love them dearly.
Just a quick note on the two little ones: David is still two and acts like it. But we love him anyhow. If you ask him what he is he says, "I'm a stinker" It is so funny. Abraham now weighs 11 lbs and is 5 months old. He started cereal and is liking it thus far. They are both doing well and keep me busy all day long.
