Our poor little guy got his cheek gouged pretty bad. Chris was out of town and one night Mia was doing some gymnastics and Rhett was coming by and got kicked in the cheek pretty bad. I came in when he started crying, and he opened his mouth and it was overflowing with blood. We ran to the bathroom, and he started to spit out mouthfuls of blood every few seconds. Then he just opened his mouth over the sink and a huge spurting gush of blood would shoot out with a pulse (he must have nicked an artery). It was so freaky, probably the most I've ever seen anyone bleed. Our sink was clogged a little and was just filling with blood. At this point, Rhett had stopped crying, but everyone else in the family (Me and all of his sisters) were crying ;p. After about 5 minutes it was slowing down and he was spitting out longs clots and then a few minutes later it stopped bleeding. Our bodies are amazing, and this little boy is one tough kid. He barely even cried, maybe for like 30 seconds, and the rest of us were loosing it. It was pretty scary. 
 



 

Rhett's dreams came true at a Jazz game with his dad <3
 




 

Tessa:
 
"Booty booty bum bum" (bippity boppity boo)


Reese:
 
Reese has been learning to read. She's been doing so well, so the other day we were showing Chris how smart she was. I was writing down 3 letter words for her to sound out and read for Chris. I wrote down "elk", and Reesie read it and then asked me what it meant. I was looking up pictures and showing her, and some of them were pictures that hunters had taken with a dead elk and wall mounted heads. 
 
Chris: "Should I shoot an elk"

Reese: "Ya, I want you to shoot off it's head and then attach it to our downstairs."

Just the sweetest brother

 




 



These little cuties made a snowbunny that was pretty shockingly good!



 




















Mia shaped this little chunk of ice into a heart :)





 









Tessa:

I was busy working on something and Tessa burst in asking emphatically, "Mom WHY??! Why mom why?!"

Me: "Um...I don't know"

Tessa: "Because?"

Me: "Umm...ya"

Tessa: "Oh. Because." *walks off

 

When a babysitter was putting her to bed, "I want mommy. She's my favorite."

 

Reese:

Reese was watching 'Gabby's Dollhouse'. A character on the show is a half cat, half octopus with a hoodie on. His name is DJ Catnip.

Reese: "Mom, don't you think DJ Catnip is handsome?"

Me: ";) Ya."

Reese: "I kind of want to marry him." 


While playing memory with Chris and I, she turned over two cards that she was sure were a match, and when they weren't a match she said, "WHAT?! I'm so cofused!"

 

Rhett:

Rhett was playing house with Reesie and she was pretending to be his pregnant wife. She had a baby stuffed under her shirt. Rhett said, "Let's go get that baby out and then you won't have this big fat belly anymore."

Me: "Don't practice saying that to your wife!"

 

Mia:

While I was singing in the car she said, "I feel like you could be a famous singer. Or on tv."
