Mackay Madness: Snowballing

Snowballing

So last week, my cute neighbor Michelle took a bunch of the neighbor kids to "Classic Fun Center" to go rollerskating and hang out all day! Well, Hannah up until this point has not shown a whole lot of interest in boys yet. However; she came home that day and announced to me that there was a boy at the rink and he asked her to "snowball." I said, "uhhhh, what is that?" Apparently it is the time when boys have to pick a girl to skate with or vice versa! And during boys choice...the cutest boy in the arena came and asked Hannah to skate!!!!

Holy cow, you can imagine my joy...NOT! Where has my baby gone, what is this world coming to I ask you? I guess he wanted to hold hands but she politely declined. Then he and his friends followed them around the rest of the day!

So that evening I told Brandon about this fun news and his reply was this..." tell that boy I've got a shotgun and a shovel and I'm not afraid to use it!"
Ahhhh, this ought to be fun. Can't wait until the girls start dating. Brandon is going to be just delightful about the whole experience.

McKelle said...: Nice to find your blog. Morgan says he'll be the same way. When Gwen starts dating (and I guess this new little one) he'll be pulling out his guns. Funny.; January 13, 2009 at 1:28 PM
Scha&Andi said...: I'm with Brandon! I dont' have a shotgun YET but when Gwen starts getting boy attention, I'll be buying one!!!!; January 13, 2009 at 2:43 PM
Amy said...: Like I said, let the games begin. At least you know that Landon is as up for the challenge as Brandon is! I'm glad I'm starting with a boy-or maybe not. Girls can be pretty aggressive! She is too cute; January 13, 2009 at 7:40 PM
THE WILLIAMS FAMILY said...: UUUM... I GUESS I'M GLAD THAT FISCHER AND KREW WEREN'T THE CULPRITS THAT TIME. I CAN'T PROMISE THAT WON'T BE THE CASE FOREVER THOUGH! IT REALLY IS YOUR FAULT THOUGH... I MEAN, YOU GUYS SHOULDN'T HAVE MADE SUCH CUTIE PIES!!!!!

BRANDON... PUT THE WEAPON DOWN AND WALK AWAY SLOWLY!!!!! THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING OF A VERY, VERY, VERY LONG "BOY CRAZY" ADVENTURE!

I DO KNOW HOW YOU FEEL THOUGH... FISCHER AND KREW WERE ALSO "SNOWBALLING"! FISCHER SAID THAT A "HOT GIRL" ASKED HIM! AAAAH!!!!!; January 13, 2009 at 8:29 PM
Kent said...: Okay, two things. First, I have to admit that I had no idea what snowballing was. I was definitely thinking it was some new awful thing kids are into now. I guess I am now a member of the old school society.

Second, Brandon, you're being completely unreasonable. Put the shovel down! Instead, just mount this kid's head on your wall as a deterrent to any future guys who may be interested in dating your daughters. I know I will.; January 14, 2009 at 1:20 AM
Bell Family said...: Hilariolus comments!!
You and Brandon are in for it. You had better get it under control with Hannah cause before you know it, it will be Addie's turn.; January 14, 2009 at 7:38 AM
Lisa Erskine said...: I've been out of the blogging world lately. All your posts are great (and I love the new look!)! Hanna is too cute...you and Brandon are in trouble with both of your girls! I am laughing at the picture of me on New Years! I'm glad that night is over! :) Let's get together soon. I'll call you back (I got your message last night)!; January 14, 2009 at 9:08 AM

From the mouths of "our babes":

*Our doorbell rang. Chance ran to get it. No one was there. He said, "oh darn,it must have been a knocker-ditcher." (Otherwise known as a doorbell ditcher.)

*Chance climbed in the back of the car this afternoon, and said "ewww mom, the back of your car smells gross...it smells like fries and poo all mixed together."

There was a little boy acting very naughty in Chances primary class...he turned and told the boy that he was an "ANGRY ELF." The teacher told me that it made her whole day and she nearly peed her pants laughing. (We were visiting at a different ward, which makes it even funnier because he didn't even know the boy.)

*Chance's kindergarten teacher's name is Mrs. Rasband, he came home and told Brandon that her name is Mrs. Wristband! Close enough

*As we were driving through the farmlands, Addie blurts out from the backseat, "it's cool how HAY grows, it just randomly pops up in perfect little blocks!" (She was DEAD serious)

*We came home from camping and Addie turns to me and says, "Mom, it feels so good to be home and walk on the grass and have a cup of milk!"

*We ate at a "Thai" restaurant tonight. Addie was so sick of peanuts on all of the food. She finally looked at me and said, "what the heck, do they have a peanut tree in that kitchen or what?"

*Chance asked me, "Mom, why Jesus make me so fast?" (Basically asking why he is such a fast runner)

*Chance was looking through the neighbors fence at their dog and he came running back across the street and said " oh sick, that dog just bless you'd all over my face!" Apparently, that means the dog sneezed on him!

*Chance calls "Walkie Talkies"... "Hickey Tickies"

*Hannah told me that we are going to give her "arthritis" because we are making her camp in a tent this year. (We sold our big fifth wheel last year.) Poor kids!

*We went thru the drive-up at Wendy's and they were out of Frosty's. As we pulled away, Chance murmurs to himself: "damn, damn, damn!" (I will take full responsibility for that one!) Needless to say, we had a little chat!

*Chance says that "chocolate milk" is his favorite taste!

*Chance was picking the seat of his pants today, and I said "what's wrong son, do you have a snuggy?" And he said, "no mom, I don't have a snuggly, my bums are just stuck together.

*Tonight at dinner, Addie told us that her favorite solid food is BUTTER and her favorite liquid food is SPRAY BUTTER!

*Chance told me today that his brain was making him scared to go to school. (He just kept holding his head in his hands)

*We had a "chick" die this weekend. Of course the kids made us do a burial. Apparently it freaked Chance out, and he wouldn't sleep in his bed because he just knew there were dead chicks in the sheets, and his feet could feel the feathers!

Easton "Such a Big Miracle, in such a Little Boy"

For those that don't know, our little boy nearly drowned in a bathtub accident when he was just 7 months old. I had run a bath for myself and left Easton (who could barely crawl) in his room on the floor. I ran out to the kitchen to clean up a glass my daughter had broken. When I returned to the bath... Easton had pulled himself into the bathroom and was floating face down in the water. He had his feet pajama's on which helped him slip over the side. He was under for about two - four minutes and it took four minutes of CPR from his daddy before he took his first breath. He was taken by ambulance to "Primary's" where he stayed in the ICU overnight. He had a full recovery. We are so, so lucky! He is ONE YEAR OLD now and we're so happy that our heavenly father decided that we could keep him!!! He brings so much SUNSHINE into our lives. "We love you Eastie". I put this on my blog for my own journal, but also for people to always be aware of your kids around water...they are capable of sooo much more than you may think!
