Of course it worked


So in the mornings we give Derek a 10 minute time to wake up..yesterday I did that and went back upstairs. I told Steve that I bet if you got all excited and told Derek there was a deer in the yard he would get up quickly! Later, Steve was downstairs and hollared upstairs.."It worked"...lol...he told Derek there was a deer in they yard..but when they looked "the deer had already ran away"...then Derek say "I saw a zebra"...lol

OH, you are funny Derek


Today Derek had gone out in the backyard and I was going in and I saw his envelope of notes from Grandma Titus on the floor and I said for him to pick it up and that I wasn't his maid and he says "You're my woman"..then he laughed....so did I...

Earlier he was eating an apple and pointing out areas on the apple and naming them, like "this is Oregon" and then "this is where the bad guys are" and other stuff..and he was munching on the planet...and after all his labeling of things on his apple, I say "oh, are you eating the earth"? He says "no, I'm eatin' and apple"...funny.

We went out on the boat today for a test spin...nice to be out in the sunshine, but the boat had a few issues yet before it works well..nice though to go nice and slow. Derek was good and enjoyed it. I almost forgot...Derek and I were walking back from parking the boat and trailer and this guys passes us. Derek asks "Whats your name". The guys says "Hi, its Steve". Derek says "I'm Derek and this is Liz". My father is on the boat and his name is Steve too. About died laughing...

Random Randy strikes again

During preschool at Miss Jenny's they were saying the alphabet and Derek starting singing it like a beat box or rapper style. She says "what are you doing Derek?", and he says "I just came to Miss Jennys and kicked Derek out" And Jenny says "well, that's not very nice, where is Derek now"? He says "at his house now, he is fine". Jenny asks "well, who are you", Derek says " I'm the song maker Sportstene.

Derek n Oskar


Well, Derek has a new cousin..baby Oskar. Born 2-20-2010.
Derek loves babies...he is great with them and there are a couple
at daycare. I think he and Oskar will have fun in a couple of years.
How funny is that to think Jenn and us will be taking our kids
to different places to play? It's awesome actually.

Noodle for noodle


So Steve had put some ketchup in his mac and cheese and asks Derek to taste it. Derek made this "face", like ewwwww...then with some persuasion from Steve he did try it. He took ONE plain mac noodle from his own bowl and ONE ketchupy noodle from Steves bowl...lol...getting a visual aren't ya? Well, he couldn't have gotten much of a ketchup taste, but decided he didn't care for it..lol
