David Ism

David was playing with his race cars and making them crash off a cliff. He was talking to me about it and asked if I knew what the guy in the car said when his car crashed. I told him I didn't know. Then he really made me crack up when he told me the answer. He said. " The guy in the car said, AHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!"

David tried really hard to impress Santa this year. He saw my phone on the floor and he picked it up and ran it all the way upstairs and handed it to me. Then he told me, " I bet Santa saw that!"

He helped Jon shovel the drive way and again said, "I Bet Santa saw that."

David Ism

We had dinner at Ann's house last night. David approached Ann, and told her that he was very sad because she didn't have any presents under her tree with his name on it. He told her that our tree had lots of presents for him under it.

David Ism

We were driving home from my parent and talking when David said, "I wish Jesus had made you as smart as he made me." I laughed and said, " I wish he had too,"

David Ism

David asked me to count to 10 DEE. I tried to explain there was no such thing as 10 dee. David insisted there was and then counted, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, 10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19 Ten DEE.

I decide to make home made fries, like my dad always did. I had made one batch and the second batch was almost finished cooking. I asked David if he wanted some more fries and he said, " Yeah sure, Why wouldn't I!!!

David Ism

David and His dad like to play games on Jon's new IPod. They like to play a race car game and Jon lets David push the button with their super power. One night David walked into the room, with his shoulders slumped over and announced," Boy, fighting is hard work, and I didn't even shoot any one."

We were driving home on Thanksgiving when David started singing. "You look like a Pilgrim and you SMELL like one too." He sang it over and over again and thought he was really funny.

David Ism's

This Cracks me up. Jon and David were playing baseball. David told Jon, "OK dad, you be the pitcher. I'll be the Belly Itcher!"

We went for a ride yesterday with my parents to Idaho to cut our own Christmas Tree. I told David that we were going to go for a ride, and then we would have a wonderful surprise. We had driven for almost three hours when David said, I don't think I like this surprise. It's to much driving.

My dad cut David his own little tree. David was very excited about it and couldn't wait to decorate it when we got home. He did a really good job and he was very careful with the old ornaments that we inherited from his great grandparents.

The boys

October 18, 2009
We were watching the movie Cars. David saw a car and said, “ I’ve been looking for that car for years.” While we are watching things on TV David often says that he wishes he had this or that. I have to tell him that we will keep our eyes out for one at the DI or he can ask Santa for one. He has said he wants so many things that he will never remember all the things he wants. Lately he is really into unusual dinosaurs . I have to tell him that I don’t think they make things like “ Micro Raptors”.
On Saturday, Jon was tilling the garden, and David was playing. I suddenly heard him say, “ Oh my God.” I was so surprised. Then he said it again. I had to explain to him that we don’t say that because it is not respectful to Heavenly Father. He listened very nicely and didn’t say it again that night, but today when he was playing in the other room I heard him say it again. I again corrected him and then told him several other things that were better to say. He also really likes to say, “ That was so FREAKEN COOL!” I’m not sure where he is picking these things up.
David’s new favorite show is Dino train. He has learned all kinds of things about dinosaurs. He told Jon the other day. “Do you know what Micro means? REALLY small.” Then he told Jon all about the Micro Raptor and how it has four wings, one on each leg. He has asked me more than once, “ When can I get a Micro Raptor.”
We watched the movie, Monsters vs Aliens. David thought it was a hoot and laughed a lot. Later on we were in the car and David said, “I don’t have a brain, but I have an IDEA.” Then he laughed. He said the blue, blob, Bob had said it.
David was saying his prayers and he said, “ Help me to get my plane really soon!”
David really pays attention in the car and knows where we are and how to get where we are going. One night Jon was having David give him directions to our house. We were at our turn and were waiting to see if David would say turn here. He said, “ Keep going straight! I want to go on the tree road. Then he proceeded to give us step by step instructions around a few blocks. He took us down his favorite road and then told us how to get to our house. We are often blown away by his intelligence.
David will be singing a solo in church on November 8th. He has learned all of the words to his song. He also has a small speaking part. All I have to do is say, “I came” and he finishes, with all of his part. He has such a good memory and can memorize anything that interests him.
David is a stinker. He can’t stand to see Ryan having fun with a toy. No matter what it is, even if it is an empty toilet paper roll, or scrap of paper, David will yank it away. I don’t know if he loves to hear Ryan Crying or if he just can’t stand to share. On the good side he is fantastic at keeping choking hazards away from Ryan. It’s hard to choke on something if your big brother won’t let you have anything.
RYAN
Ryan is FINALLY starting to show an interest in walking. He has stood on his own for fifteen seconds a couple of times. He will let go and balance now, but still likes to drop down to his knees as soon as he realizes l have let go. I cheer a lot and so he thinks it is fun. I am making him walk with me from room to room. He just holds one finger. He has good balance, he just doesn’t want to let go. I think he wants to do it perfectly before he will even try. I wonder if that will always be his personality.
For awhile I was really scared that there was something wrong with Ryan’s right foot. I could never get his shoe on. The left shoe slid right on, so what was wrong with his other foot. I looked the size of his feet and they appeared to be the same. But every time I went to put his Right shoe on he would twist his foot, and I just couldn’t get it on. When I had Ryan at the Dr’s about the swine flu I had the doctor look at his foot. He said it was perfect and normal, and that Ryan was just messing with me.
Ryan loves the song, “ Mama Mia” He dances to it and if he is crying and I start to sing it he will stop.
Whenever Ryan wakes up, he has a bottle of milk and then immediately after he poops. He is so regular you could win a bet with his bowel movements.
Ryan loves Dog Food. I get mad at him for eating it and take it away, but as soon as my back is turned he is eating it again. I don’t know why he likes it so much, but he does. One day I had to dig four pieces out of his mouth. The smell of it made me so sick to my stomach that I actually threw up.
Ryan has a temper. When he gets mad he hits his head on the floor, or wall, or against me. One day we were in the bath room and he wanted to get in the tub. When he realized he didn’t get to get in the tub he was so mad that he tried to bite the tub, repeatedly. Then he realized that wasn’t working so he walked over to the wall and hit his head over and over again.

David Ism

David had to go to the bathroom. He sat down and was instantly saying that he was done. Jon said,"Did you even go poop." David's spunky reply was
"Didn’t you hear all the plops."


Jabber and Bomber are Davids new imaginary friends. He plays soccer with them. As he is playing he has complete conversations. It is hilarious to listen to him. He says things, like " David go get it." Jabber its your ball, kick it."

David came up to me and said, "I couldn't’t have done it with out you." I asked him what he was talking about and he said, "He couldn't have played soccer with out me."

David: Dad I can kick which feet I want to kick with.
Jon: Your right. Don't listen to me. I don't know what I am talking about.
David: OK!

David Ism

David didn't want to eat his dinner, he kept saying " I don't like the way it smells." then he told me, "Mom you made me sad." ( he didn't like the dinner I made)
I was tired and didn't want to argue about it so I just said.
" I'm sorry." then I was quite for a while.
David then told me
" I'm waiting for you to say, I'm the one who should be sad!"
He knows the way it usually goes. I usually say I'm the one who should be sad, because you wont eat the food I made for you.

We were driving in the car, I was trying to listen to conference and what I heard was, "I don't know what a Jail looks like." I told him I didn't know either. Then he said, " I know it has long neck and a bridge made out of strings." I said, " What are you talking about." David answered " A Jello"
Again I was confused. "Jello doesn't have strings. "
David said, " No mom! Like you used to play! A Jello!!
Then I finally understood what he was talking about. " Do you mean a Cello?"
YES!!!!!

I told David that we were going to Erin Malmborgs ( Earnshaws) Grandparents house to pick up Ann. Then he said, " Do you remember when we went there and watched the fireworks, and I kept eating cookies? You should have called me Cookie Monster."

I got David a donut while he was at pre-school. I told him that I had a treat for him on the way home. When we got home I gave him his donut and he was so excited. He cheered, " My Favorite Thing!!!!! What is it?"

There was a lady at Jcpennys that was pushing her son in a wheel chair. I asked David to run and push the button to the door so it would open for her. He never asked why, he just ran as fast as he could and opened the door. I told him how proud I was of him and how I was sure Heavenly Father was proud of him too. He asked why and I told him that when you help other people to are also helping Jesus. It made him happy and now he is running to help us when ever we ask him to do something. He is such a good boy.

Davids favorite story from the Book of Mormon, is Alma and Almulek. My mother- in -law gave David a child's Book of Mormon flip book. He loves to see Alma and Almulek tied up and then flip the page and they are free, but he especially loves to see the guards sitting on a bench and the next page they are squished by the walls of the prison. He laughs and laughs.

Ryan likes to eat, but he likes to feed our dog Nikki more. He will drop his food down to her every time. She loves to sit by his feet and clean up the mess. One day I took her to get her hair cut and I really missed her cleaning services.

David and Ryan

I was making the bed, I tucked in the bottom and David cheered. " Good Job Mom!"
I must compliment him a lot.

I heard Ryan crying in the bathroom. I went to investigate and found that Ryan had his hand in the toilet and it was being squished. I pulled his wet hands out of the toilet and then had to scrub his hands and change his clothes. So now I can't just put the toilet lid down, have to close all the doors to the bathroom too.

Ryan loves the sound track to Mama Mia. He likes to sit on my lap, on David's bed and listen. It is the only time he will sit still and cuddle, so I put on a song everyday and just hold him for awhile. It is good cuddle time.

Ryan chews on his crib. He has left teeth marks on every rail that is not covered in a plastic guard. He has chipped the paint off and left very deep marks.

Ryan Jumps in his crib. He thinks it is the funnest thing ever.

I heard Ryan crying and I went to see why. David was biting his shirt and was dragging him down the hall. He said he was " A big bad wolf" I had to remind him that in the book Where the Wild things are, when Max was making mischief his mom put him in his room. He stopped immediately.

David Ism

Jon asked David if he would like to go and hit some golf balls. David told Jon that he wanted to go but that he didn't want me to go because he didn't like how I swung the club. Then he came to me and told me the same thing, " I just don't like how you swing your club, your not very good."

Ryan

Ryan loves to jump in his crib. It is so fun to see him bopping up and down.

David Ism

Jon got a 20 dollar bill in his birthday card. David was very excited to see it and told Jon, " I will hold that for you dad. I'll keep it safe in my piggy bank and you can play with it when ever you want to.

Erin: You put on your super warm pj's.
David: Actually I didn't, my dad put them on me.

David: What does, " I just couldn't get the hang of it" mean?

David: Lets go to a lake or a reservoir and through rocks.

I invited my friend Janae to go look at fall leaves with me and the boys. My friend and I don't get to visit very much and so we talked and talked. All of a sudden David yelled out, " I am tired of people talking. "

David Ism

David: Do you know what my least favorite color is? White! Because it doesn't color.

Apparently they always use white paper at school, and David doesn't like how the white crayon doesn't show up when he uses it.

Erin: You put on your warmest PJ"s.
David: Actually, Dad put them on me.

David Ism

David: Do you know what Cruela ( his imaginary friend ) said when I was pooping?
Me: What?
David: She asked why do we have feet to walk on?
And do you know what I said? HOW ELSE WOULD YOU WALK!!!

David: Where are you going to put this kid? ( Referring to Ryan )
Me: I don't know
David: How about in a boiling pot.
Should I be worried?


David: We forgot my socks.
Me: No I got them.
David: HO Ho HO Merry Miss Miss

We were out mowing the lawn. David had to go to the bathroom and I told him he would have to wipe his own bum because it was getting dark and we had to finish up. When we were all finished this is what was said.
Jon: That edging was a night mare!
David: My poop was a nightmare!!

Me: Good night. I love you.
David: I love you too Buck a Roo.

David was eating some Yogurt with tiny M&M's in it. He called to me and asked.
" Do you know what Jesus is saying? You're one LUCKY KID!!!"

David Ism

David: How do you get into ta plane?
Me: You walk in.
Davod: Some have cock pits.

David Ism

David has a way with words. He can be very descriptive. One day he called to me and asked me to wipe his bum. He told me this. " That was a nice, long, soft poop. It even broke in half when it splashed into the water. Although it is gross, it certainly does create a strong image in ones mind.

Ryan

Ryan has practiced bumping his head on the floor when he gets angry. He does it gently enough but he gets his point across that he is mad.

Ryan can climb up onto the coffee table when he wants to get a toy. I can't believe how fast he is growing. He tries daily to get into the bath tub. He just loves water. It seems like all he can think of his how to play in water.

Even when I correct Ryan for eating dog food, or splashing in the toilet, or making a big mess, he just laughs and keeps doing exactly what he wants to. I sure hope he learns to listen soon.

Ryan

Ryan likes to eat dog food. I have to put Nikki's food up on the counter when ever he is awake.

Ryan

Ryan has developed a fascination with the toilet. One day I had to pull him out of it. He was splashing in it and putting his toys in there. Later that same day we were at the fabric store. He was really squirmy and started to bite me because he really wanted to get down. As soon as I put him down he crawled full speed away from me and I found him seconds later splashing in the toilet at the fabric store. It made me so frustrated. It was GROSS. Since then I have had to lock the bathroom doors, and make sure the toilet seat is down. Even with these precations he still tries to get into the toilet when David is peeing or pooping. He is so stubborn. I wonder if he will ever learn.

David Ism

David's friend Rayna asked David who his best friend was. David had a funny answer, " Cruella" You know the one Cruella De Vile.

When David is playing he hums the Indiana Jones theme song. It's really funny to here him singing the song when he is throwing those little pop fireworks. He heard the song at the fire work show and so he thinks that the song must go along with his fireworks too.

I asked David how long Ryan had been awake. He enthusiastically answered, " Twenty Five Inches."

The Boys

Ryan just loves water. Every time we take a shower Ryan is right there pulling the shower curtain back so he can look in. He gets drenched with water but he loves it. He gets angry if you pull the curtain closed again.
One day I walked pass the bedroom to find David reading a book to Ryan and pointing out what everything was. He was showing Ryan all the different kinds of Cars, airplanes, and trains.
One day we were up at my parents and David and Chloe had a few little fights That night as David was praying he prayed for this, “ Bless I can forgive Chloe for being mean to me.”
I was telling David about the MTC. He said,” When did you go over the EMPTY SEA.”
We were driving home from a family party in Salt Lake. David suddenly said, “ Look I see a F22 Raptor.” Sure enough there was a billboard sign far ahead of us and on the other side of the freeway with a picture of a F22 Raptor.
Jon took David Golfing. The group ahead of them was playing quite slow so they asked if they could play through them. The group of men thought it was funny to see little David with his clubs and they said they wanted to see how he his the ball. David is a confident kid so he walks up, puts his ball down and starts to instruct them on how to golf. “ First you take a couple of practice swings, then you stand like this. Then you swing the club up and down, up and down, and then you hit the ball as hard as you can. “ Then he hit the ball and their jaws dropped. Jon said his hit was fantastic and it flew far and straight. They all cheered and said he was the next Tiger Woods.
We were at Lagoon standing in line for David to ride on the airplanes. I asked David if he wanted help or if he wanted to get on by himself. At first he said he wanted my help. Then as we stood in line he looked around at all the other kids standing in line by themselves and he turned to me and said, “Mom, I can do this by myself.” I was so proud of him.
Ryan is climbing up the stairs. Standing while holding on to furniture. Jabbering, doing a few signs language signs like more, drink, milk, airplane. He says Ma, Ma and nanananna. He knows a lot of words and understands most things we say.

David Ism

Today we went to Jon's co-workers house. On the way there we were telling David that this guy was moving. That led to a discussion about moving houses. We asked David if he would want to move. " NO I don't to leave my toys!" We told him that if we ever moved we would take all of his toys. Then he was ready to move houses right there and then. We told David that we were not moving. "Why he wanted to know" Because we would need to pray about it and find a new house. So David told us that he would pray first and then I would and then Jon would. We said ok. And then right there in the car David started to pray. He prayed that we could move to a new house in Salt Lake. Then he closed his prayer. He then asked me what God had answered. I told David that God had said not right now. And then he was happy agin with our house.

David Ism

Rayna said to David, " Who is your best friend."

David: " Cruella"

David Ism

David: When can we go to the air museum and get me a new airplane?

Me: I don't know, you already have quite a few.

David: Few is not a lot!


David: For your birthday i will show you all of the toys you bought for me and tell you how good you have been.

David: I love you bigger than a dinosaur.
Erin: I love you higher than the moon.
David; I love you farther than the sun!
Erin: I love you farther than Pluto.
David: Pluto Lives with Mickey Mouse that's far away.



David: I love you bigger than a rhinoceros
Erin: I love you higher than the sky
David: I love you bigger than Elephant poop.

David: Why did Jesus make us talk by opening our mouths?

David: How hard is a T-Rex

David: My pillow is not very comfy!

Erin: Why are you crying?
David: I just love my toys so much.

David: Our Tomato plants are growing big.
Jon: What are they growing?
David: They are round and red.
Jon: What are they?
David: Fruit
Jon: No What does it grow?
David Apples! NO. That's not it. TOMATOES !!! It grows tomatoes. Tomatoes make you strong, tomatoes make you strong, tomatoes make you strong.

David Ism

David has been walking around saying this since our visit to my parents. I think he watched something with Chloe and Ellie.

"They used to walk they, they used to swim.
THEIR THE DINOSAURS

Some eat plants and some eat meat.

Eahh

They used to growel grownups know

THEIR THEY DINOSAURS"

David Ism

David was eating his chicken nuggets and he turned to me and said this. " Do you know what this chicken nugget said? ketsup here I come." Then he showed me a nugget that was entirely covered in a thick layer of ketsup.

David Ism

David was playing on his play phone. He turned to me and said, " That was someone you don't know. She gives money to people who don't have any."
I said, " How do you know her?"
He said, " I think it was my imagination."

Erin: We need to drive to Salt Lake.
David: Salt Lake far away?
Erin: Yes
David: They should make Salt Lake closer to Adams wood Road.

Erin: What are you doing?
David: I was trying to be a stinker!


Erin: Do you like your new shoes?
David: NO There Sandles!!!

David Ism

A jet is a jet
A plane is a plane
and a Bird is a bird

We had to make a stop on our way up to Jon's parents house yesterday. With a big sigh David said, I am starting to think we are never going to get to Grandma Karen's house.

All the way to Logan David asked us questions about Airplanes, Jets, and Engines. All the way home he asked us questions about, cell phone towers, Radio towers, antenna's, and radio waves. Also he asked us, Why the Roads are black. He is so curious about everything. He is full of questions and really pays attention to everything around him.

David ism

David was explaining Golf to his Aunt Teresa, this is what he said. " When I was little I didn't know you were supposed to take practice swings. "

One day I came down stairs this is what David said to me. You took to long coming down stairs mom. Now you've missed Word World.

One morning David woke up and looked out side he said in his most adult sounding voice, " It sure is cold out there."

I asked David what he wanted to watch on TV. This was his reply. " I care to watch a David Video. I do not care to watch Roger Rabbit."

David Ism

David: Mom when I grow up big like Dad, I am going to marry you. Then he can Just watch us dance.

David Ism

David: Mom I am so hungry!

Erin: Could that be because you didn't eat the dinner that I made for you?

David: No Comprendo

David Ism

When I play soccer I only play with Cruela not Dumbo, because Dumbo doesn’t have hands.

David Ism

I recently got my carpets cleaned. I am proud of my clean carpets. Then I walked into my front room and found that our dog Nikki had left a brown streak across the room. I said, " I want to kill her!" David said, " Don't kill her mom, I love Nikki!"
So then again yesterday I again walked into the front room to find a new and fresh streak across the recently cleaned carpet. I didn't say a word to David and just started to clean it up. David walked into the room and saw me scrubbing. He said, " Did Nikki wipe her bum on the carpet again? I told him yes she did. I love David's response he said,
" GET THE GUN!!!"

David Ism

David: I don't like the green Santa Clauses
Erin: Do you mean Leprechauns
David: Yeah. They didn't give me any presents.

One day for Heaven- six days for fun, Chances for Heaven-Six to one.

They wear their years most becomingly who have remained young in heart while managing to grow up!

Nightmare

David has a real fear of having a nightmare. Every night he asks that we say two prayers that he wont have any nightmares. We say one and he says one. He always says, " Bless me to have happy dreams and not have any nightmares."

Shapes

David was looking at Ryan and said to me, " Ryan's eyes shaped like footballs, and his head is a circle."

Dumb Dog

I took Nikki to get her hair cut. When I went to pick her up she had broken out of her cage. When they brought her to me she took a dump on their floor. As they were cleaning it up she pooped again. Then to make an already embarrassing time worse she pooped a third time on their sidewalk. I wanted to scream, I hate you you stupid dog, but I promised Jesus for Christmas that I would be nicer to Nikki. So I bit my tongue, and just apologized to the lady profusely.

Happy List

Seein Ryans one tooth grin.

Kisses

I got a migraine at Church on Sunday. Jon and David walked me out to the car. As David walked back into the church David turned around an blew kiss after kiss after kiss to me. It made me so happy.

I've Never

One day David said to me. " You know mom, I've never jumped on the back of a whale, you know, from whale to whale." I said "Neither have I." I thought it was a funny train of thought.

Ann's Birthday

I told David that it was Ann's Birthday. He asked if he could say a prayer, and then he said, " Bless that Ann will have a wonderful birthday. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen."

Prayer

David just asked if he could say a prayer for the grapes he was eating for a snack. I said sure, and this is what he prayed. Bless these grapes that they can help us poop. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen. FYI He is not constipated, and never has been.

Prayer

Last night David said the prayer. This is what he prayed. " Please bless my screwdriver with health and strength, so that it can screw. "

Whales

David is interested in whales right now, because he saw a documentary on T.V.. with his grandpa Burl. On the way home last night, he was asking about whales and sharks and making up stories. He made up a chicken whale that spits feathers, and an airplane whale that flies but doesn't have wheels that go into his belly. I think he is a very creative little guy.

That's OK

Jon and David had the day together to do fun things. David told Jon that he was hungry and wanted a taco and a donut. So Jon took him to Taco Time and then they headed home.
David Said, " Hey you forgot my donut!"
Jon said, " Your right. I'm Sorry."
David said, " That's OK, accidents happen. Just don't do it again."

The Ark

We were talking tonight and out of the blue David remembered this boat. It is in Oregon. He said that it was the ark. He said " It crashed because no one was driving it.

Prayer

It was Jons turn to say the prayer. After he was finished David said, " That was a really good prayer, it was short.

David

For the last few weeks, David has requested to listen to the Indiana Jones theme song before bed. I ask him what he would like to hear and he says the Da Da Da Dun song.

David discovers David

David was taking a bath and asked me what the round things were by his weenie. I said, "I will have to look." When I went over to see what he was referring to, he was holding his testicle. I believe in being honest and not embarrassed so I told him what they were called and told him that that's what makes him a boy. The next day He said to me. "He Little girl. " I said, "Your the little girl" He said, " I'm not a girl, I'm a boy." I said, " What makes you a boy?" and he said, " I have little circle things in me."

David Ism 6

I told David to go out side and see how warm it was. He came back to me and said, " It's Three o'clock degrees."

Cinnamon Bears

We have some cinnamon bears at our house right now. One day David asked if he could have one and the one I pulled out had no legs. The next day he asked for another cinnamon bear but he said," Can I have a cinnamon bear with legs, arms , a head, ears, knees, belly...." and many other body parts.

David Ism 5

We drove past Wingers today and David suddenly said, " Look mom that's where we ate popcorn." I was amazed that he remembered because we have only eaten there once and that was five months ago. The other amazing thing was we were on a different road than we usually take and we were coming from a different direction. I said, " David, how do you remember that?" He said, " Because I'm smart!"

David Ism 4

I kept telling David to hurry because we were late for pre school. He was starting to get very frustrated with me so he muttered under his breath, " Honestly !!!!" I think I must have a habit of saying the same thing.

I told David we needed to feed Ryan and he informed me that he couldn't because he didn't have any boobs. He then preceded to tell me everyone that he knew who had boobs and those who didn't have boobs. Including Chloe his cousin. He said, " She doesn't have boobs but she is a girl."

David Ism 3

I asked David how he was one morning. He said, " I'm Pretty Perfect."

David Ism 2

We were at Karens house last night. A Cousin stopped by to say Hi. She had here little girl Payton there. David came into the living room excited to tell me some news. He said, " The White girl has to use the toilet." David didn't know her name and since she had on a white dress she was renamed the white girl.
