Happy 200th Post!

Wow, I can't believe I have 200 posts already! I think it took me much less time to get from post 100 to post 200 than it did to get from 1 to 100. (confused?) I've been posting much more since the photo bug bit me. I was reading in one of my photo books the other day. And the man said something that has kind of stuck with me. He talked about every day being full of moments and as soon as each moment passes, its gone forever. His goal was to try to capture as many of those moments as he could so he could preserve them in a way nothing else could.
I look at my children and I get the most unusual happy/sad feeling when I see how fast they are growing up. I want to capture as many of these little moments as I can, so one day, I'll have something to look back on and remember.
On that note, I wanted to also record a few funny exchanges I've had with my kids recently.

Logan: Mom, I've been thinking, and I've decided that kids are better tasters than grown-ups.
Me: Oh, really, why do you say that?
Logan: Oh, you know. Grown-ups always pick the yucky foods, and kids always pick the foods that taste good, so they are way better at tasting.
Me: Can't argue with that!


Lincoln: Can I have a drink of Apple Juice?
Me: Not until dinner honey.
Lincoln: No, you mean not until next Tuesday!
Me: OK (everything to Linc is "next Tues.")

Owen: Knock, Knock.
anyone who will respond: Who's there?
Owen: turkey (or any other object within his line of vision)
anyone who will respond still: Turkey who?
Owen: (with his silly grin) Turkey on your head!

Logan: Mom, my PE teacher says that everyone needs to bring Souffle to class on Friday and if you bring a souffle you get to be first in line.
Me: Are you sure she said souffle?
Logan: Yeah, you know, those wrappers around the soup cans.
Me: Oh, you mean "soup labels!"
Logan: That's what I said mom. :)

Okay, enough funny phrases for now. If you're still with me, here are a few fun pics from this week. I've got to run!

These two were taken on Sat. I got to take some pictures for a friend of mine (see my photo blog for those) and Logan tagged along to help me make their little girl smile. He did a great job too!

I love this picture. The other day Owen came up to me holding this CD container on his head and said, "look Mommy, I'm Abraham Owen!" He so clever.

These last pics were taken this afternoon from a second story window. Logan had his basketball evaluation today and he wanted to practise before I took him. We're putting him in Upwards B-ball. It's his first time and judging from the look of consentration on his face, and the hour he spent practising today, I think he'll like it!

Monkey see, monkey do.

Okay, this one was my favorite!

Linc joined them with his K'nex creation.

I love this one too!
