Happy Birthday Gretchen!!!

Yes, we've had another birthday at our house...Gretchen is now 2! But if you ask her, she's 3. She definitely is a big girl...now if we could get her to act like a big girl and keep her clothes on...that would be nice. :) It was a nice and quiet celebration with just us...and the kids had a lot of fun with all of her new things. She definitely likes to be a princess...as you'll see from the pictures. She was so happy when she opened the princess crown and dress and she had to put them on immediately. It took a little convincing for her to take them off to eat her cake, but since I don't think the dress would make is through the washing machine, momma won out. Here are a few pictures for the festivities...

Well, tomorrow is ultrasound day, so stay posted for another update from our family...and some pictures of the newest in the Rivers' family.

Funny things the kids says....

Luke: "Mom, I just not that into cleaning."

Luke, after getting out of bed for the fourth time: "My goggy (doggy) needs one more kiss and hug." Yeah, right.

Luke: Asking if he can sleep in Jaden's bed tonight "Pwease...I do anything."

Rachel: "Sometimes I feel like I'm just a Popsicle in a Rachel suit."

Rachel: "Mom, look at that nutcracker. He looks sooo charming."

Me: "How did Luke get hurt?" (asking because he was bleeding and we were on our way to the ER for stitches)
Gretchen: "I pushed him. It was an accident, I think."

Jaden: "After a little bit can we talk about this boyfriend/girlfriend thing again, because I could use all the help I can get." (Lord help me, he's 8.)

Rachel: "Bow chicka bow wow."
Bob: "Where did you hear that?"
Rachel: "I made it up 8 years ago. It made me famous. I was in newspapers all over the land."

Jaden: "Mom, it's the first day of school and Rachel already has a boyfriend."
Me: "Rachel, you have a boyfriend?"
Rachel: "Yes."
Me: "What's his name?"
Rachel: "I don't remember. But he had a red shirt on."

Jaden yells: "Mom, Luke peed on Rachel!"

Rachel: "Mom, Luke is my nemesis."

Gretchen: "I am the master and you should listen to my mouth."

Jaden: "School must be really long in heaven."
Me: "Why?"
Jaden: "Well, if 1000 years is as a day and a day as a 1000 years, that's one long school day."

Rachel: "I can see good in the dark, but I'm not nocturnal."

Me: "Rachel, could you tell Louie to get out of the sandbox if he jumps in?"
Rachel: "Yes, but I don't speak puppy."

Rachel: "Mom, Jesus lives in my heart and I think he's grocery shopping."

Me, to Luke while he's looking in the fridge: "Are you hungry?"
Luke: "Yes, yes, yes!"

Jaden: "Mom, Rachel and Gretchen are being the A word."
Me: "What A word?" (a little concerned)
Jaden: "Annoying"

Rachel, when talking about our latest snail that died: "I think we must have given him too much allergy to eat." (obviously she meant algae)

Gretchen: "Prince Charming's name is Josiah. He is my best friend and I'm going to marry him."

Gretchen: "Mom, I'm the ruler. Say, 'Gretchen, you're the ruler.'"

Jaden: "Did the deer fall down dead or did he just lose an antler?" (after we hit a deer)

Rachel: "there's no brain in my head, it's a green polka-dot idea emergency."

Rachel: "Sometimes people that doesn't have brains don't think." (she doesn't know how right she is :) )

Rachel: "My teacher is going to say, 'oh my, those curls are very unusual.'"

Me: "Gretchen, what's your name?"
Gretchen: "Gretchen Elizabeth Come Here."
