I just showed Shawn all the snow and he said "Wow it's kinda really bad out and look at all the houses, they're having a wash down!"

Shawn- I'm Shawn Milt! A different kind of Milt Poll!

As I was putting Shawn to bed the other night He was laying in his crib with his eyes closed and this was our conversation.

Shawn- MOM!!!

Mom- What?

Shawn- MOM......!!!!!

Mom- What?

Shawn- MOMMMMMY!!!!!!!!!

Mom- What Shawn?

Shawn- I.............I............I.............I............

I don't love you.

About 6 months ago, Shawn found a spider on the wall close to the ground. He was on his hands and knees staring at the wall doing something with his fingers. When I asked him what he was doing he got really excited and said "I smashed the spider mommy!!!!!" He was so proud of himself! That was all he talked about for most of the day. The reason I am sharing this now is because He often times will get on his hands and knees in the exact same spot and rein-act the whole thing. For some reason that experience has stuck in his mind. He did it again today and though he hasn't had a hard time remembering it, I know that I will forget so I decided I better write it down.

One of Shawn's new favorite words.

"Marvelous!"

I think he got it from a movie, but I'm not sure which one. He quotes lots of movie lines.

Nov. 11 2009

Shawn- After drinking regular milk for the first time (He's been on soy milk for most of his life and hasn't liked milk up until now)

Shawn- I Like that milk, It's Tasty. That's Tasty milk!

Nov. 12 2009

Shawn- This pancake is Super D Duper!

This is the way Shawn counts.

"1......3.......5.......!!!"

(Yesterday morning when Elli came downstairs)

Mom-Good morning Ell!

Elli- I had a bad dream.

Mom- I'm sorry! What was it about?

Elli- Thomas the Train

Mom- What happened?

Elli- All the other trains crashed into him.

Mom- Oh no! was he ok

Elli- No.

Mom- No? Did he die?

Elli- Kinda.

Mom- Kinda? He can't kinda die, either he did or he didn't

Elli- I think he did die.

Mom- (as Milt walked down the stairs) Well it's a good thing it was just a dream then. Did you tell Dad about your dream?

Elli- I had a bad dream!

Daddy- about what?

Elli- Thomas the Train.

Daddy- What about Thomas the Train?

Elli- All the other trains crashed into him and he died!

Shawn is talking really good now, there are so many things that he says that just crack me up.

Shawn- (In a really loud high pitched voice) I FEEEEEL GOOOOOB (I think most people say good)

Shawn- (As he pulls down on both ears) Dopey Dopey Dopey! Shawn's word for Chocolate- shlaucolat

and his word for Glasses- Glaucolat (chocolate and glasses sound almost the same and aren't even close to sounding like either one, but everything else he say's is just about right on, he's a smart little bugger!)

Shawn- We went to the zoo yesterday and he loved the Tigers! Now every animal he sees, even if he knows what it is he calls it a tiger and he Roars.

May 2, 2009

My new favorite thing that Shawn does (I will have to get it on video!)

Shawn- Every time you try to give him something he doesn't want he Shoves it away and says "WAN IT!!!" I Think it's funny that he leaves out the Don't.

Mar. 24, 2009

Today when I was playing with Elli

Elli-Lets play oranges!

Mom-Ok. How do you play!

Elli-First you have to get really small (as she curls up in a ball) Then you have to put your peel on (pretending to pull a peel up all around her)

I Thought it was very cute!

Mar. 17, 2009

Elli- "That how it doesn't go!"

She say's this every time we do something wrong like sing the wrong words to a song, or sing the wrong tune, or put a puzzle piece in the wrong place, ect.

Milt and the kids were waiting for me in the car after church a couple of weeks ago for what was probably no longer than five minutes.

Elli-"I hate waiting for mom all the long day!"

She say's this often when she has to wait for something or ride in the car, even if we are not going very far.

Elli-"I don't want to ride in the car for a long day"

or when she has to sit in time out.

Elli-"I don't want to sit here for a long day!"

Elli-"This is taking for a long day!"

It's amazing how long 5 minutes seems to a kid!

Jan 28, 2009

(after Shawn coughs)

Shawn- Ya ok?

We ask him this every time he coughs so he just thinks that's what he supposed to say.

Jan 20, 2009

It has been a lot of fun lately listening to Shawn talk.

He says a lot of things, but a couple of my favorites are

Shawn- Nigh Nigh!!!!! Nigh Nigh!!!!

He begs to go nigh nigh when he gets tiered, it is so cute! also,

Shawn- Boble!!!! (bottle)

I use a lot of exclamation marks because he says everything with such expression.

Jan. 14, 2009

Elli loves pizza it's one of her favorite things to eat. On our way home from picking up dinner at Little Ceasars.

Elli- It stinks like pizza in hear!

She loves the sauce there too. We always buy an extra thing of sauce when we go and she eats the entire thing buy herself and the rest of us are lucky if we get any. For some reason she cant say sauce and she calls it sauca.

Dec. 7, 2008

Elli- let's go hide from the monsters!

Mandi(my sister)- What monsters? What color are they?

Elli- Dirty!

Dec. 2, 2008

While reading keep in mind that Elli is still potty training so the words pee and poop are used pretty freely in our house.

Dad- Wow Elli! That's a pretty big poop!

Elli- It's a big Log I guess!

Nov. 22, 2008

After a long time of shopping and the kids being cooped up in the car and the shopping cart and the stroller, we got home and I put Shawn down. He must have been really relieved because he got really excited and started running all around

Mom- (speaking in Shawns behalf) I'm free! I'm free!

Elli-He's not free!

Mom-Ya, he's free from the car seat.

Elli- No, I'm free he's one.

Nov. 12, 2008

After I spilled a huge cup of salsa that got all over the ground me and the fridge.

Elli-Oh man! I didn't even see that one coming! Now I can't ever eat that.

Oct. 30th, 2008

Elli- (as she held a dandilion to my nose) Here mom smell this flower!

Mom- I don't want to It stinks.

Elli-It stinks good!!!

Oct. 21, 2008

Here are a list of things Elli was saying while talking to some balloons. These were all one after another with little or no breaks and many of them were repeated multiple times. The sound of her voice was really annoyed throughout and I think she even threw in a few growls here and there. I thought it was so funny I started writing things down as she said them.

Elli- You need to take a bath. I know you don't want to, but sometimes we have to take baths. You're so impossible. You make me sick. You're such a pain. Your so impossible. Sit in time out. Don't hit. You're so mean. You guys are making me mad and I don't want to be mad. Some days you make me crazy and you hit me and you make me tired.

She left the room after this and I had to finish cooking dinner so I don't know what she said next, but I know she was still rambling on.

Oct. 14, 2008

Can you guess what Elli thinks the opposite of a little bit is?

"A Big Bit"

she say's it all the time.

today she was sharing a blanket with me and said

"Here mom you get a little bit and I get a Big Bit."

Oct. 13, 2008

On the way to the store the other day...

Elli- Mom, can we go to the animal store?

Mom- No, because it takes too long to get there.

Elli- Well... we should get a faster car then!.

Oct. 6, 2008

(as we were getting out of the car)

Mom- Elli where are your shoes and why do you keep taking them off?

Elli- because I'm a crazy girl!

Oct. 5 2008

Milt left for Utah yesterday as a spur of the moment thing for his Grandma Poll's funeral. I was trying to tell Elli where he was going and why.
Elli- Where is daddy going?
Mom- He's going to Utah for Great Grandma Poll's funeral.
Elli- Why
Mom- Because she died and daddy needs to go to her funeral
Elli- (with a sad, worried look on her face) But I Love great grandma poll.
I didn't think she would take it so hard but she was really upset. We had to explain to her that it was ok and that grandma is happy and that she is with Great Grandpa and Heavenly Father now and she still just kept saying "but I love Great Grandma Poll" I think she gets it now though and she's Ok.

Elli- Mom let's go play golf!

Mom- Golf?

Elli-Ya! I Love golf!
