- I asked the kids where Ashley was when we were in a store. Ady said she knew right where she was and led us right to her. I asked her how she knew where she was. Ady proclaimed, “Super Ady knows everything!” This made Treven respond with, “oh yeah, what is 5,216 + 922?” Ady then responded with “I mean everything about where people are Treven!”
- Treven was playing soccer with some friends. The soccer ball was kicked and hit Treven hard, squarely in the chest. Just when I thought he was going to start crying, he said, “wow, that felt weird on my heart,” then he shrugged and went back to playing.
- We hung out with some friends a couple of months ago. The kids were all downstairs watching a “Spy Kids 2” while we talked. Our friend went down the stairs to check on the kids. At the end, the girl is dancing around with a tiny bit of her stomach flesh showing. We were told that all four boys seemed to be mesmerized when one suddenly piped up and said (in a somewhat lustful way), “I REALLY like her belt!” Luckily that one was NOT Treven.
- We were going somewhere and Treven wanted to use the GPS. It kept directing us a different way then I wanted to go, which I knew was slower. I told the kids it was fine and that the GPS was wrong. Finally Treven could take no more. He said, “do you want me to wham you mister?”………he then whispered, “I wouldn’t really wham it Dad, I am just trying to get this guy to stop being so unreasonable.”
- On our first boating trip of the season, I told the kids we would have to move them to bigger lifejackets because they had outgrown their last ones. They seemed sort of sad to let their last ones go. I told them it would be okay. When I tried the news ones on them, Treven said, “oh I like this one better anyway, the last lifejacket really bothered my penis.” The last ones did indeed have a strap that went under the kids legs for safety, something that this new one was lacking…….apparently for the better.
- Ashley was called as the kids’ Primary teacher for the first couple months we lived in the ward. One week she taught a lesson on being a peacemaker. They did some role-playing. She picked the one kid that is known as the wildest amongst their Primary class, to role-play with her first. Before the role-playing began, Treven very clearly stated to the little boy, “you had better not mess with my Mom or my sister, or you will be messing with me.” He said this in a quite serious, hushed tone. He is very protective of the ladies in our family.
- When we went camping/boating over Labor Day weekend, Treven really wanted Ashley to come in the tube with him. He kept wanting to go faster and faster. I went a tiny bit faster and Treven soon realized the difference two or three MPH can make on the tube. In between laughter, he shouted out, “I am a man, I am supposed to be able to handle this!!!!”
- Whenever we are driving in the car, the kids always want me to make up stories for them. I always ask them to give me a subject and then away I go. One particular time I decided I was going to make all sentences in the stories rhyme. After I had told three brief stories to the kids, Treven asked me to tell them a story about them being super-heroes. He then said, “…and please leave out your Dr. Seuss!”
- Ashley bought some pink lemonade in bottles from the store one week. We were drinking it, when Ady said that we should get it again the next week. I said, “maybe we could save some money and make our own.” Ady said, “I just never thought of that because I don’t know where we buy pink lemons.” She was dead serious.
- In Sacrament one week, Ady really seemed to need to blow her nose. I quietly helped her. She looked down at the tissue as I was folding it up, she proclaimed (a little too loudly) “whoa, I had some really strawberry boogers today!”
