Disappearing act

We went to Elitch's last week with family. We played in the water park for most of the time. (The rest of the time was spent waiting around for the lightning to stop... and then finally just getting rainchecks to come back another day.) Anyway, the water was quite cold at first, but we adjusted quickly and had tons of fun.

After a while, Aiden discreetly pulled his swimming trunks out at the waist and told me to "look inside". I complied, not sure what I was supposed to be seeing. He then asked, "Why did 'it' get soooo small?" Thanks to knowledge I gained during a "Seinfeld" episode, I was able to inform him that it just happens sometimes when it's really cold. (To be quite honest, I couldn't really tell a difference, but according to Aiden, it was quite dramatic!)

Fast forward to the next night at bedtime. I put the boys in bed and was laying with them and singing songs when Aiden interrupted and asked, "Mom, remember when we were at Elitch's and my weiner got soooooo tiny?" I remembered. He then exclaimed, "It's a good thing we didn't stay there for days, because then 'it' would've been GONE!"

Party planning

4 of the party animals (minus Brady)

We've been celebrating lots of birthdays lately. First we attended our friend Kabren's party. We hung out at his house with his family, our family and another family. Next Aiden and Chase were invited to a "drop-off" party for their friend, Brady. Apparently this was a super-cool party because the kids got dropped off at Brady's house without parents. (Brady's parents ARE quite brave, right?!) The next party was back at Kabren's house for his brother (and our friend), Traysen. Again, fun time!

After all the partying and considering the boy's birthday is coming up next month, it has got them thinking and planning what they want to do for their party. They change their minds on almost a daily basis, so we haven't come to a final conclusion yet... MY favorite idea so far?! They wanted to do a "drop-off" party of their own.... at Kabren and Traysen's house!!! ;) How can I refuse?! lol

Watch what you say...

Driving up to the zoo one day with Grandfather, Aiden asked out of the blue, "How old do I have to be before I can date?" Grandfather said, "Sixteen!" Aiden thought about it and decided that was a fair age. He then informed us that BEFORE he'll date any girl, he'll first ask her, "Do you take Heavenly Father's name in vain or say the HELL word?" Apparently those are deal-breakers... Don't mind the fact that he SAYS the "HELL word" when asking her if she refrains from saying it! ;)
