My favorite quote

Words to live by

If it is to be, it is up to me.

Kee-Kee-Who-Hoppers

Wyatt helped Gammy and I make muffins for breakfast last weekend. It was hard to convince him to let us bake it up into muffins instead of just eating the whole bowl in batter form...


Mom picked up a copy of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang last weekend. She told the boys the movie was about this amazing car so by the time they got home they were jazzed about watching the movie. Jack sat through the whole thing, but poor Wy pooped out. Even though he crashed half way through the movie he was awake long enough to soak in the title song. Now he and Jack sing "Chitty bang bang! Chitty chitty bang bang we love you!" ALL THE TIME.


We had our bi-annual Gala this past weekend. Lucky Duck is about a bunch of animals (mostly birds) with a fashion show runway segment in the script. We asked a group of ladies (The Rhinestone Cowgirls) to participate in the runway segment during the Gala and we had our costume designer create hats for each of these ladies. I was so pooped and frazzled the day after the Gala that I decided to wear one of these hats during the show to perk me up a bit. The cast got a kick out of it. What do you think?

I was hanging out with Wyatt one afternoon last week when Dad got home. Wy was so excited about seeing his grandpa that he started shouting "Mommy! There's your daddy! His name is Poppie!"

As you know, John's truck was not doing well. John finally came to the conclusion that the truck's computer wasn't working properly. He ordered a refurbished one from the Amazon and got it installed. After adjusting the timing and a handful of other things, we think the truck is fixed. That man of mine can fix anything!

We took the boys to see Toy Story 3 on Father's Day. Wy has been running around since then quoting Buzz Lightyear "To ambividy and beyond!" (Translated into English as "To infinity and beyond!")

For months Wy has been running around calling out "Kee-kee-who-hoppers!" He uses it as an exclamation, an expletive and a curse. We have no idea what it means but it cracks Wy up every single time he utters that phrase.

I gave the boys mohawks this weekend. What do you think?


Much love and blessings,
Owenland Park.
