Who's Running for President?

Landon has been talking about the election in his class at school. They taught him a little about the election process and what it means. They also taught him who was running this year. So he came home yesterday and asked me, "Daddy, who are you going to vote for? John McCain, or Okabama?" He couldn't remember/pronounce Barack Obama's name. It was so funny. Then today, we were at a friend's house for a birthday party and we were watching the election results and he got Obama's name wrong again, except this time he called him "Broken Mama." I died laughing! :)

Do you want some cake?

A couple of days ago, we were sitting at dinner discussing whether we were going to let the boys have some cake for dessert when Landon did something devious and funny. He said to Parker, "Go like this", and then shook his head like he was saying "no". So Parker copied him and started shaking his head no. When Parker was in the middle of this, Landon said to him, "Do you want some cake?" Since Parker was shaking his head, Landon then announced to me and Jessica that Parker didn't want any cake. I couldn't believe how sneaky he was! :)

Hack-A-Shaq Has Begun!

Ok, so for those of you who don't follow the NBA, let me explain. Shaquille O'Neal is known as one of the worst free throw shooters in the NBA. So, when there is a close game and teams resort to fouling opposing players to save clock time, they will always try to foul Shaq because he is horrible at making his free throws. Anyway, so during last season's playoffs, the Spurs' head coach was employing this strategy, but a lot earlier in the game than usual. Shaq took offense to this and called it "a coward[ly] move." Fast forward to this season, very first game the Spurs are playing the Suns again (Shaq's team) and, as a joke, the coach (giving two thumbs up) tells his team to immediately foul Shaq. Funny stuff! :) Check out the video.

Do the Hustle

Unbelievable, funny video. I guess this is how they get their exercise?
Enjoy! :)

Toe...Out...See?

For the past few days, Parker has been sick. He wakes up a few times each night coughing and/or crying. Usually when we ask what's wrong he says something like his ear hurts, or his head hurts, or he's thirsty, or he's too hot or whatever. Tonight he woke up coughing and crying and Jessica and I went upstairs to see what was wrong this time. I asked Parker why he was crying and he pointed to his right foot (where there is a small hole in his pajama foot) and, in between sobs, cries, "Toe...out...see?" It was HILARIOUS!
