The last couple of days, I have been listening to my kids in the car instead of the radio. I didn't notice what a hoot they are. I will try to explain as good as I can so you can get the picture.
About a month ago the kids (Kirsten and Cruz, McKay was still at Mike's in Utah) and I were driving back from Utah. Kirsten started singing songs and made up her own versions. She thought it was a hoot. Pretty soon she was singing, Row, Row, Row, your boat, Gently down the stream. Merrily, merrily, merrily, what did you eat for breakfast?
It gets better, we were driving home the other day from town and McKay and Kirsten were playing. All of a sudden I hear McKay say "Didn't you get enough sleep last night? Wake up!" I looked back and she was shaking her foot. I couldn't stop laughing.
The next few were on our way back from Utah last night. We drove down after church to pick up Maddy and Axel. As soon as Maddy was in the car, my kids were all hyped up. They were talking about playing a game and Kirsten pipes in, "I have the best game. Hide and seek! You count and I will hide." Need to say my kids are in the carseats and seat belts.
Even Maddy caught the kid fever. She was trying to come up with a game and the next thing I hear her saying is, "Lets play the name game where we try to guess each other's name." Then she turns to Kirsten and says "Kirsten, lets guess your name. Is it Abby?" Sometimes you wonder?
Anyway we are all doing fine. We made it here late last night. Jake has a lot of work before we go down again at the end of the week. Kirsten has finally understood the meaning of birthday and she is counting down. Everything is "Will you put that on my birthday list". McKay starts school a week from Wednesday. I can't believe she will be in the first grade. She is excited to go back. She is really smart. Cruz is almost a year. He still has no teeth and no interest in walking. I am not worrying however because I know it will be a matter of time before I am chasing him all over. I am not in a hurry.
We are excited to see everyone! We love and miss everyone.

Reminds me of the time Isaac was in the car saying "I'm three!", holding up 4 fingers. He was two.
i do remember many car rides with the kinders, and yes they do say very cute and funny things
my fav. is when we were in south parde, i was driving nates car, a stick shift, and i stalled a little bit, mckay was in the back seat, and i guess she was a little bit nervous, because she said, "mabye my mom should drive." it was quite funny
Hannah, that one was a funny one. I had forgotten about that. Oh, the joys of South Padres!
it's good you're writing them down - my kids aren't even that old and i forget all the cute things they do unless they are in black and white.
