Andrew Anecdotes

A quick funny story about what Andrew said the other day. How we got on to this topic I can't quite remember. But we had a conversation about breast feeding. Yes, I know what you are thinking. Any way we probably got onto this topic because several of our friends have had or are having babies. So, I was explaining to him how some babies drink milk from their mommies and of course he asked how. So, I told him how some mommies get milk in their boobies for the baby to eat and how that's how he ate when he has a baby. I could then see the wheels turning in his brain as he thought about this. He then puts his ear on me and says "I don't hear any milk in there". That was the funniest thing and we both laughed and laughed. Only Andrew....

Not so Wordless Wednesday ~ Poor Andrew

Monday night just before bed, Andrew was running full speed and tripped on something. He flew, Superman style, straight into his little table. It was one of those that you know is going to happen and you just can move fast enough to stop it. Needless to say he got a HUGH bump on his head. We were pretty lucky, it looked like it was that close to being split open. So glad we didn't need a trip to the ER for stitches! He was such a good boy and only cried for a tiny bit.

Andrew Anecdotes

Andrew has been saying some pretty funny stuff lately. The other day we were at Half Priced Books looking around and while GAM and I were looking at the shelf we hear a big clatter. When we turn around we see Andrew holding a record sleeve and a record on the floor (luckily it didn't break). Andrew then tells us "Oops! I dropped that big CD". We laughed so hard. Not to bad for someone who has never seen a record before and has know idea what it is for. Later we went for lunch and an Asian restaurant and Andrew got his chopsticks and raised them over his head, banged them together and went "one, two, one, two, three, four", then proceeded to hit them on the table just as if it were a drum kit. Where he got that from, I have no idea.

Yesterday, I saw a fire ant hill next to our driveway. I was trying to tell Andrew to never go near it because those ants are really mean and will bite him and that it will hurt very bad. So he then asks me why the ants are mean and I tell him that they just are. Like any typical 3 year old, the why, why, why follows, so I tell him God made them that way. He thinks about it for a little bit then tells me "Well, Jesus needs to make them happy". How cute is that!!! When we do talk about Jesus he always asks "The Jesus in my heart?", awwwww!

When we were in El Paso, Andrew and I went to my sister's house for dinner one night and they were watching Amadeus. Well, at every scene when Mozart was conducting the orchestra Andrew would stand in front of the TV and pretend to conduct too. It was pretty cute. He really liked that movie and watch most of it intently. Especially when the music came on. I know some of the songs her recognized from Little Einsteins, but a good portion of the songs he had never heard.

Andrew Anecdotes ~ Robin Hood

Andrew had been watching Robin Hood a bunch before our trip to El Paso and he told me that he wanted me to get him a bow and arrow. So like any mom would do I told him he had to wait and ask Santa (in hopes that he'd forget). After I told my mom this, she did what any good grandma would do, she went and got him one to play with when we visited. He, of course, was thrilled! Well, he had been playing with them for a while chasing grandad around. Next thing we know he comes out from the back of the house with the arrows sticking up from his shirt, just like it was his quiver. It was so cute, and he did it all on his own.

El Paso Trip Part III

I have been trying to get these pictures up for days, but for whatever reason they wouldn't "add". Anyway here are some pictures from our White Sands trip. We just love White Sands and try and go once a year. The day we went it was PACKED!!!! Almost every dune was full. I hadn't seen that many people there in a really long, long time. It was kind of funny, the first family that was next to us was from China and then after they left the next family that came was from India. We lent the 2nd family one of our sand sleds and they had a great time. They also thought Andrew was the cutest, funniest thing they'd ever seen and want to get their picture with him and came to hug him bye bye when they brought the sled back. They even asked him if he wanted to come with them and he said yes and then thought better about it. Which is kind of scary that he was willing to go at first. We all has such a good time.

The sunsets here are just beautiful!

Aren't we cute!

Here is a picture of Elise, Me, Joseph, Margaret (GAM) and Andrew

He had so much fun sliding down the hill in the sled.

When you live in the desert the only kind of sledding you

get to do is sand sledding.

His face says it all.

My mom and my Aunt

My cousin Matthew (Andrew's new bff) was digging a big hole

that eventually was deeper than Andrew was tall.

Getting deeper. I wish I could of had a video of Andrew running down the hill and when he saw the hole he put on the brakes, but kept sliding down and fell perfectly into the hole, body first and disappeared. This was the main reason the family from India thought he was so funny. Word just don't do it justice.

I think he was having fun.

Picnic time anyone?

How Elise, who is almost 13, and I managed to make it down the hill

on the sled is still beyond me. Even James looks a little shocked.

This picture of Eileen and Andrew was just too cute!
