Wow...my little model

Jill took these pictures of McKailyn just the other day while they were goofing off at home. Obviously I'm partial, but these are amazing pics.

Marriage Proposal

Yesterday Jocelyn received her first marriage proposal from a little boy in Pre-Kindergarten named Tommy. Jocelyn immediately placed her palms of hands on her cheeks and just turned away in shock.

I guess I'll need to start cleaning my gun collection.

I love being your daddy

Tonight while putting the girls to bed, I individually kissed them and told them, "I love being your daddy." I got two different responses, both being great glimpses into Joc & McK's personality, I think both responses are priceless.

Me: "Good night McKailyn. I love being your daddy."
McKailyn: "Good night Dad. I love being your kiddie."
McKailyn: "No wait, Dad...I love being your kiddie cat! "

Me: "Good night Jocelyn. I love being your daddy."
Jocelyn: "Good night Dad. Dad I love you too, and if I don't marry you and I marry some other boy, I'll still visit you everyday!"

Today during a picnic lunch....
Jocelyn: (sitting criss cross apple sauce style) "Foot wake up! It's day time not night time, wake up!!"

5 Weeks

Mommy Date

Since Jocelyn & McKailyn have been doing a great job of sharing their mom with their little sister, Jill took them out for a special date night tonight. The evening started with pizza at CiCi's, then shopping for shoes, and capped off with ice cream from UDF. Serious girl bonding. Both of the girls had a great time and asked if they could do it again.

Jocelynisms II

While eating dinner last week...

Jocelyn: "Mom, I'm done eating."
Jill: "Jocelyn, you still have pleny of food left."
Jocelyn: "Mom, but my food side is all the way full."
Jill: "What?"
Jocelyn: "My food side of my stomach is full, that's where my food goes. But my dessert side is not full, so can I have a cupcake?"
Jill (dumbfounded): "Eat your food Jocelyn"

Red's Game 4.18.08

Friday April 18, Jocelyn, McKailyn, & I went the Red's game, everyone had a good time (due more to the cotton candy & popcorn than the actual baseball game)! This was McKailyn's first baseball game so she was very excited.

One of my favorite quotes from McKailyn occured as soon as initially found our seats. She sat in her seat, looked at the field and immediately said loudly, "What! This isn't football!!"

Jocelynisms

At church during Easter service Jocelyn sat with us since she wasn't feeling well. During Pastor Dave's sermon at Vineyard Community Church:
Jocelyn: "Dad"
Me: "Yes Jocelyn? Please whisper."
Jocelyn: "Dad, this is boring. I already know all this stuff."
Me: "What?"
Jocelyn: "This is boring, I already know this stuff, I learned it in school."
Me (dumbfounded): "Well, just be quiet because there are people sitting near you who don't know this stuff yet."


During the week I ran home at lunchtime.
Me: "Hey, where's Addison?"
Jocelyn: "Oh, she's in the other room sleeping in her playpen"
Me: "Oh, OK, I'm glad she's sleeping."
Jocelyn: "You know Dad, she's kinda of like a cricket."
Me: "What? A cricket?"
Jocelyn: "Yeah, you know, she sleeps during the day and she's awake at night making all that noise."
Me (dumbfounded): "Uh, um, I guess you're right."
