Bakers: Wildlife Boy

Wildlife Boy

Braeden (again) has been wanting to pretend he is out in the wild. So he was thinking in his little mind about how he wanted to cut a branch down and make a boat. Only because in the episode of Man vs. Wild, the guy made a boat out of tree scraps or something like that. Braeden was trying to find something to cut the branch down and Grandpa gave him a saw.

I know, it sounds like an accident waiting to happen, but all that happened was a BIG HOLE IN THE TREE. (The last picture shows where the where he cut it down.) Sweet ole Braeden cut a huge branch off the tree and it left a big hole in their tree. It did keep him busy for a while.

Sassy said...: What a good grandpa to let him have this little adventure...the hole in the tree won't matter in a while but what Braeden got to do will probably never be forgotten...; November 20, 2008 at 12:06 PM

Braeden-isms

Was watching "Home Alone 1". The part where Kevin was watching The Johnny Carson Show, Braeden said, "Hey, is he watching General Conference?"

"It would be cooler if Elli was a boy."

"School isn't good for you because it makes your brain get big and then it's too big for your head."

"I'm excited for my parent teeth to come in."

(When he made Elli cry really loud)
"Turn the volume down Elli!"

"Mom, I rock the WORLD!!"
(His teacher told him that for getting 30 AR "advanced reading" points in school)

"Mom, we need a house cleaner, I am tired of cleaning."

(Stretching his arms out)
"Mom, I love you as big as a snake."

(I asked Braeden if he thought we were having a boy or girl and his response...)
"A boy because boys come first and girls come 2nd in your belly."

"I wonder what Elli is going to look like on her birthday!"

(Whispering in my ear)
"You're an A+ Mom!"

"Daddy, I'm not faking, I'm 'real'ing!"

Elli-isms

"I am a rockstar on my bike!"

(Sharing her sucker with Caleb) "Mom, his slobber tast-es good."

Elli jumped off the diving board with goggles and swam to the other side of the pool. When she got there, her goggles had water in them. Her response, "I don't want to jump off the diving board anymore, my eyes will drown again."

"Daddy, when I marry you, will you buy me a dress with sparkles, dots and flowers on it?"

(Talking to her daddy) "I love you because you love candy."

After Elli got home from preschool she asked me, "Mom, how was your home?" (I ask her how her preschool was and out of the blue she asked me this.)

"Grandma is going to help me, you know, you're Mother."

"Mom, can you do my hair just like yours?"

"When it's Christmas, are we going to wear our sweaters?" (I don't know what sweaters she is talking, definitely not our Christmas sweaters)

(Braeden & I were being silly and saying her name over and over...)
"Guys, you can't fight over me!"

Me: "Why can't I be cute like you?"
Elli: "You can't grow back like me, you can only get big"

"You can't sleep in my bed, Mom. You go get in your own bed."

"Mom, you made me cry!"

(When "Oswald" came on TV)
"Mom, Hock-a-pus is on!"

"Braeden, don't burp in my ear. That's 'scusting."

"You're my favoritest Mom."

"I rocked around the world Mom!"

"We have the cutest baby in the WHOLE WORLD!"

(Sitting at a Red Light)
"Come on, turn green!" (In her cute little voice)

(Eating spaghetti)
"I got worms!"

(Her answer to every question)
"Not yet!"

(Early Saturday morning)
"Daddy, get up and get me a dwrink."

"I broke my eyeball."

"I like syrup, put some on my eggs!"

Sung to "London Bridges"
"All the new bricks falling down, falling down, falling down...."
