It's a Boy

After our last ultra sound, it looks like we are having a boy. Hip hip hooray! We are very excited. It will be very interesting to see what boy number two looks like since Austin happens to be the clone of Nathan. To prove my claim I submit the following pictures of Nathan into evidence:

We asked Austin who the boy in the picture was and he said "me." Why not? They look alike, they think alike. . .

Here is Baby Boy number two. Would anyone be willing to bet money that he will resemble me in any way, shape, or form? Austin and Olivia are kissing my belly and telling him that we love him. We all feel so grateful to the Lord for blessing our family with another kiddo.

Quotes from Austin and Olivia

Aunt Rachel was making balloon animals and asked Austin what animal he'd like. His answer: "A mongoose."

Rachel: "How about an easier animal."

Austin: "Okay, how about a gazelle?"

Olivia asked me if she could comb my hair during a movie. I said yes, thinking she was so adorable. She then asked, "So, do you want your hair in a ponytail, a bun, or a hot-dog?" (June 2011)

Olivia: "Dad watch this"

She then pushes a button on her alarm clock so that an automated voice says the time.

Olivia: "I think there's a person in my alarm clock because it can make that voice." (May 2011)

Anytime mommy watches a PBS interview or someone is cooking, Olivia always says "Mom, is that person talking to us?"

Austin had to eat one slice of yellow pepper: “This is paper, soap, dirt, mud, 100 jars of baking soda, and grass, and toilet paper. Yuck.” (May 2011)

Sometimes the family likes to hide when a parent gets home and that parent gets to come find everyone. When I (Allie) got home from a meeting apparently everyone was hiding but I was unaware.

Nathan (shouting from the top of stairs): "Why didn't you come find us?"

Allie: "Oops sorry, I'm coming right now."

Nathan: "It's too late. Everyone already got hurt and is crying."

For some reason Nathan's comment continues to crack me up because of how quickly happy situations involving small children can deteriorate.

Olivia: "I want to baby sit myself."

Austin: "You're not old enough to babysit yourself. You have to be 90."

Austin and Olivia are eating cookies that they helped make.

Austin: "My tummy says, 'Stop, don't eat these.' But my tongue says, 'Yummy, eat these.'"

Mommy: "Does your tummy hurt or do you just know cookies aren't healthy?"

Austin: "I just know they aren't healthy. . . My tongue is winning."

Austin is learning how to pray and get answers. Nathan had been looking for his glasses all week long and everyday would ask if we had seen them. Finally Austin said, "Dad let's pray about it."

After turning off a movie in the car, Liv responded rudely. Mommy told Liv that because she was rude, she lost the privilege of watching movies the next day.

Austin put a penny in his mouth, so Nathan took it away. Austin then cried to have it back and when Nathan said no Austin said, "But I was saving that penny for college. Don't you want me to go to college?" Nathan still said no. Austin then cried "Now I will never be able to go to college." Nathan still said no. Austin: "Now I won't be able to go to BYU like you did Daddy. If you don't give me that penny back I will never be able to go to BYU!" Dec 2010

Austin was jumping on the couch and playing with the cushions. He managed to get himself stuck upside-down, wedged in-between the back of the couch and a cushion. I asked, "Austin would you like a banana?" He replied, "yes mother, as soon as I get myself out of this situation."

Livi and Austin were eating lunch and I added a few carrots to each of their plates. "No thank you, I don't want any carrots" says Austin. "Okay, I'd still like you to eat one" I inform him. I then hear the following from Austin:

Olivia

Mommy's trying to get Olivia to eat a delicious spinach and cheese pasta dish.

Liv: "This is so yummy to my tummy." She then takes a bite, grimaces and spits the food out.

Liv: "This is yucky to my bones."

June 2010

Austin: Asks mommy some random question to which she wans't paying enough attention to even remember and record the conversation precisely.

Mommy: "Mmm Hummm."

Austin: "Why'd you say 'Mmm Humm,' were you communicating through your nose?" (4-9-10)

Austin: "I'm never going to work when I grow up."

Mommy: "That's fine, you don't have to work. But, you'll never be able to buy anything."

Austin: "What if I just get married and my wife works."

Mommy (after laughing): "Well I doubt you'd be able to get married if you didn't want to work. Most women like hard working guys."

Austin: "What about Stephanie and Ryan? She works but he just goes to school." (Friends in our ward--she works two jobs while he is in law school). (4-9-10)

Mommy: "Austin, where's your juice?"

Austin: "I don't know where I put it."

Mommy caught a "fantastic" bug that was going around the ward and got sick Tuesday night. She threw up again on Wednesday morning in front of Austin in the kid's toilet.

Austin: "Is that poop spit?"

Mommy: "No I'm throwing up."

Austin: "Did you throw up in your bed?"

Mommy: "No"

Austin: "Why didn't you just throw up in your bed like Olivia does?" (Jan 27th, 2010)

Part two of this unfortunate story is that along with the throwing up, came some pretty stinky gas (sorry it's gross but it couldn't be helped). So I was pouring the children cereal and milk while Austin was running circles around the kitchen passing right behind me. . .

Austin: "Mother, when I pass you it's really stinky."

Austin: "Mommy, I don't like to do what I don't like to do!" (Dec 09)

Austin has new lyrics to the Feliz Navidad song: “Feliz naughty dog, feliz naughty dog.”

Austin: “Mommy, I hid the gum right there because I thought you’d be mad.”

11-09

Austin: “Mom, can I have a medium Spiderman cake for my birthday? And only I eat it?”

Austin: "Even after I have water I’ll still be hungry"

Mommy: "What was that noise?"

Tiger: "This straw."

Mommy: "Oh, I thought it was Chaco."

Tiger: "Mommy, I want to eat something that's good for my bones. May I have some fish?"

Mommy: "Yes, but drink your milk--that's good for your bones."

Tiger: "How is it good for your bones? Does them go in and push on your bones?" (4-9-09)

"Thanks wife."

Tiger: "But you are a wife too." (Feb 2009)
