I’m a Big, mama

November 1, 2008

Mallory has a hard time with some letters and words, and pig is one of them so she usually says “big” instead. So here is our “big” on Halloween tonight:

We went up to Alli’s neighborhood to trick or treat tonight and the girls were HYSTERICAL. They quickly caught on to saying “trick or treat” first, and then “thank you” after, and sometimes threw in the casual “happy halloween!”. They both enjoyed seeing the decorations and spent a bit of time just observing the big kids running through the yards. Both girls were big hits at all the houses and …

What Rick does before away games

October 29, 2008

In case you wondered what Rick did at away games and why he has to go two days early, here is a glimpse. I don’t think he actually makes an appearance on this video but you can get an idea of the super-hard work that goes on.
Warning – there is some foul language very briefly at the end of the video.
The beginning is the carts being wheeled into the stadium and the exchange at the end is what happens when they are testing the headsets and phones between the pressbox and the sidelines.

PS – You’ll be happy to know that …

Just a couple of quick things

October 18, 2008

1. I freaking LOVE hand-me-downs. Check out the size 7/8 Imelda Marcos shoe collection we inherited this morning for Mallory. I just hope her feet don’t grow too much by next spring so she can wear some of those fun sandals.
 
2. Mallory insists she “no want to” play hockey whenever Rick asks her, but you wouldn’t know it by seeing her get into her bed. (Editors note: this was just before she fell asleep for a nap that is now entering its second hour so she was obviously lying to me when she said she wasn’t ready to go to …

Freeze Frame

October 14, 2008

My little girl has been FUNNY the past couple of days.
First, here are some more of her new phrases:

Me too!
My turn
Want some? – this is said as she walks through the house with a bowl and a spoon, pretending like she is whipping up something tasty, and then she offers it to us with a sweet “want dom, mommy? want dom daddy?” Tonight she took it up a notch and asked me if Cooper wanted some, so she fed some to Cooper. And then she turned to the TV and tried to feed the people on TV.
Not a phrase but …

Smarty Pants

October 3, 2008

Mallory “reading” a book with Rick:

Mallory counting to five (she can really count to ten all by herself but gets performance anxiety when the camera is on):

Ahlo!!! (spoken with a British accent)

September 21, 2008

Mallory inherited our old cordless phone and likes to carry it around and pretend to call people.
She doesn’t normally say “hello” so the fact that she’s saying hello like the British is hysterical. That and the new thing of pretending to actually dial numbers cracks me up.

No school, mommy

September 20, 2008

Here is our funny little girl waking up in the Friday morning. I thought we had a few years before she didn’t want to wake up to go to school?

Since I’m up

September 15, 2008

Rick ran out to get some ice to make smoothies at like 10.30p or whatever and just called to tell me that my H^&T#J()UD)*&#^$^*#(&)&^ car died – like just shut off while he was driving. That it smells like gas, looks like there is a puddle of gas under the car, and that it sounds like gas is pouring out of the engine as he is trying to start it (and I had 3/4 of a tank of $4.50/gallon of gas in there).
Out.Stand.Ing.
He is about two miles from our house. With the dog. Mallory is asleep. So was I.
Have I …

Buhbuh, ME!

September 3, 2008

The latest funny thing to come out of Mallory’s mouth is when she is doing something (brushing her teeth, playing with her sunglasses, etc), she tries to show Cooper what she’s doing and says “Buhbuh, ME!” as in “Hey Cooper, check out what I am doing!”. Cooper never pays any attention to her but it’s still funny to watch her try to show off for him.
And tonight after her bath, she went running into her room and heard Cooper coming up behind her. She stopped at the doorway of her room and held up both of her hands and yelled …

Michigan v Utah – recap

August 31, 2008

The tailgate started at 10a for the 3.30p kickoff. We got home at 9p. Holy long day.
My 7-yr old nephew was going to come with my dad but turns out Shane didn’t want to come, so my 3-yr old niece came instead (which then made Shane decide he DID want to come – oops). I think my mom & I were thinking my dad was a little nuts to invite Lauren. But turns out my dad wasn’t so dumb – I wonder if he knew that Lauren was going to want to sit with Mallory the whole game?
The girls were …
