Are you my mother?

Ridge will pretend to be me and in a high pitched voice yell for Holden or Gray with bogus instructions like "Gray, go to bed", "Holden, brush your teeth" or "kids come clean your room". It was pretty funny the first couple times they actually fell for it. It cracks me up to hear his version of me.

Hold hands

Joel took the boys to UVU one day and while they were about to cross the road he told them they had to hold hands with an adult (if you just say "hold a hand" they will hold their own hand and insist that it qualifies based on instruction). As they were about to cross Joel only had Ridges hand so he looked for Holden. Holden had grabbed the hand of a beautiful girl that was about to cross the street as well. Joel was amused and impressed with Holdy's smooth moves, although she was surprised the girl decided to escort the bold young man across the street.

I'm Hungry

If Ridge is talking he is telling you "I'm Hungry" and like Cookie Monster he is insatiable! He has made it a must to have "Zert" at our house every night... and he has been trying to make "Zert" a pre and post of all meals, however Joel and I are staying strong on that one.

Knock-it-off

Holden: "Mom why do you always call me Knock-it-off?"

furry babies

Holden asked if he kissed Meeks (our dog) with tongue would they have furry babies.

Ridgeisms

"Didn't see that one coming", "Oh my ga ga gosh", "come to papa", "thats why.... (insert any strange reasoning for why things are the way they are)"

Pool cover

Our boys thought it was a good idea to walk on a pool cover with open pocket knives. Thankfully Joel caught them before either were hurt... seriously I hope we can get these two to adulthood!

Name change

Holden has requested that we call him "Diamond", this is a change from his "Ho Ho" name that he has been making us call him for the last couple months.
