Memorial Weekend 2011

Ben caught a nice bass over the long weekend. He absolutely LOVES to fish and every times he catches a "big one" he gets addicted even more. Now we just need to work on his hair...

Here are Ben and Max looking for the bass after they released it.

Due to getting a fresh coat of snow we decided to go downhill skiing. This was the first time I went with the crew. It was a ton of work getting everyone dress, boots on, hats/mittens, etc. But, once we got on the hill it was a beautiful day. We didn't get any pics of Ben since he was gone as soon as his skiis hit the snow. It amazes me how he can go down the biggest hill with no poles. Max is a little more tentative (like his mom) and needs Jeremy by his side every second, but he also did well for only being 6. Then there is Maddie...this girl has no fear. She is a true natural. She was going down the hill and snowplows to stop. She was so much fun to watch. What a little peanut out on the slopes!

First...we needed to shovel..

Easter 2010

We had a wonderful Easter at Grandma Tenge's house. Jeremy's mom and cousin Jessica and her family came over to join us in an egg hunt, eating, and great conversation. All of our kids play so well together and it is nice to catch up with Jessica and Richie! They have 3 kids with twins on the way!

Maddie and Brylie (they are 1 month apart in age)

Tanner and Max

All the great grandkids together!

Easter Egg Coloring

It is the annual easter egg coloring time. We told the kids to take off their shirts so we could keep stains away. Maddie and Ben stripped down immediately. Max on the other hand is very modest and had a small fit about taking his shirt off. Then the small fit turned to a big fit when Jeremy brought out the camera. Ben's response to Max was.."Max! Taking off your shirt is nothing. Think of Grandpa who walks outside in his underwear!" Here is the picture...notice Max covering.

Now, Max is warming up to the "no shirt" idea

Halloween 2009

Max's 4K class had dress up for Halloween. I tried to talk Arde into a more "original" costume, but he wanted nothing to do with it. He was actually pumped that there was more than one Spider Man.

Trick or Treating 2009. Ben went treating with a friend so Max and Maddie were on their own. Maddie only made it to 5 houses. She couldn't handle all the scary costumes, she thought they were all after her. "I scared, I scared!" Good for me. I got to take her home to the nice warm house!

Funny Kid Quotes

Maddie (yelling walking to a timeout): Mama you're so mean to your children! (age 5)
Maddie: I wish I was an only child (age 5)
Mama, isn't cleaning out between your toes awesome?! (age 4 1/2)
Maddie: lifting up her bare arms...mama do you think my armpits are pretty? (age 4 1/2)
Maddie: on the bus today I had a whole bunch of ear wax in my ear. Me: oh, is it better now? Maddie: yup, I just stuck my finger in and scooped it up and wiped it on the bus seat. (age 41/2)
Max: Jeremy took the boys out fishing. Max saw a ripple in the water indicating a fish may be on the hook. He was so excited he says..."look dad, there's a nipple!!!!:
Maddie: As she was getting on her bikini to go swimming she comes downstairs and I overhear her say to Max, "Arde, will you button my bra in the back for me?" (4)
Maddie: took the remote and insisted she knew how to get iCarly on TV. After much stubborness she clicked through the channels and just by chance it landed on iCarly. She looks at me all smug, "I told you I could do it, Mommy. You must have forgot I'm SMART!" (3 1/2)
Ben: I think my tongue is broke (9)
Grandma Mueller gave Arde some Eggnog icecream for a snack. Max looks at it and says, "Grandma, this doesn't look like my style."
I was telling the kids that when I was little St.Nick didn't come visit me when I was a kid. Arde asked, "why mom? Did you live in an orphanage?"
Maddie was racing me to her bedroom tonight and cut the bottom of her foot pretty bad. she saw the blood and said, "oh, this isn't going to be good."
Maddie out of the blue says to me.."we both have diarrhea don't we mommy?" My response, "not that I know of!"
Tonight Maddie told me, "J.T. is my boyfriend." (This is a guy that is helping us design our new house) On the next breath she says, "Richard is also my boyfriend, but don't tell Daddy." (Anyone that knows my wonderful neighbor knows he is in his 60's!!!) We are going to have our hands full with this one!
One night I told Maddie she was cracking me up. Her response was, "You want to gobble me all up don't you mommy!?"
As I was putting Maddie to bed I told her I was going to go and wished her a goodnight. "Why do you have to go mommy?" I told her my nose was dripping and I had to get a tissue. She held up the bottom part of her pajama shirt and said, "Here mommy, just wipe your nose on my shirt that's what I do."
Maddie was mad at me today (like usual). A bee came by her while we were outside and here are her exact words "Bee go away! Go by mommy!"
Max: I was having a conversation about a good friend of Max's who is spanish. Max said Oscar has black skin so he is black. I corrected him by saying Oscar is spanish. Max's response was "He's not Spanish mom, he speaks human!"
Crying in bed one night, I asked Max why he was sad. He said, "The world is just so hard."
Max: You're all making me crabby
Max: I wish Ben didn't have a mouth
Maddie: Don't look at me!
Ben to Maddie: Maddie, don't even think about it. My patience is wearing thin! (I wonder who that sounds like)
Max: Mom, do you wish you were Amish?
Mom to Max: Max, did you cut off the pony's mane with scissors? Max responds: Well, that depends if I'm going to get into trouble or not
Max: (After eating a cob of sweet corn)...Mmmmm, I mow'd it down like a chicken
Maddie: Whook it, Mommy! Whook it! (look it)
Max: Mom! Stop talking! I have cookie in my eyeball!
Ben: You want a piece of me?
Max: Mom, how long were you thinking about making this yucky supper?
Max: Mom, why are you wearing black stuff on your eyebrows? (I was wearing mascara)
Max: Jesse, you can't win a fishing tournament with just one fish!
Maddie: Whenever we ask the kids if they want to go somewhere, Maddie always raises her hand up in the air and shouts "Me, Me, Me, Me, Me, Me, ..." She won't stop until we tell her she can come too!
Ben: Mom, how old will I be when I'm 16?
Max: I better get to bed now, no sense in putting it off.
