Brecken and Avery playing: Brecken "You can't put us in jail, we're bad guys!" Avery: "why?" Brecken: "Cuz we're teenager bad guys!"
Brecken saying a prayer "thank you for mommy (Avery whispers "and Avery"), and daddy, ("and Avery"), and McKay ("and Avery"), and Keaton ("and Avery"), and Tate and NOT Avery."

Tate brought a project home from school with a cute reindeer on it and one question: "How did Rudolph get his shiny nose?" Tate's response was " FRUM jESiS MAD RODOLF RED NOSE"

Brecken: "I'm gonna go see Avery and wook at her and smiwel (smile)."
I grabbed Breck and held him tight. In a dreamy voice he said to me: " Mom, I love...my truck"
Avery: playing with a beloved pilgrim she just broke the leg off of: " Look Mom he's hopping...boing, boing, boing."
My parents told the twins they were taking them to McDonalds for dinner. When they got there Avery asked "where's old MacDonald?"
Me brushing Brecks teeth:" Open up lets get those sugar bugs!" Tate: "It's actually called plaque Mom"
The twins were peeling boiled eggs for a potatoe salad. Avery: "did we grow these in our garden?" Me: "No, chickens lay eggs" Breck: " But these are not chickies cuz that would be weird in our salad!"
Me: "Avery! I'm so proud of you! You're the best pottier!" Avery: "I know my am"
Dr. Balif: "So these are all your kids, and she's your only girl?" Brecken: " and I'm the only Brecken"
Brecken softly touching his hair after his bath: "my hair is so nice"
Keaton: "Most of the time when you get a new haircut and you get home we're like "what the?" But then we get used to it."
Avery playing dress ups: "I'm Harry Potta" in a perfect English accent from watching the movies...funny.
The kids were going through everyones initials when they came to me "Mom is MAL." You know....Mom Amber Larrabee
Tate: "Mom, why isn't Dad at work?" Me: "He's at the dentist" Tate: "What's it called? Is he getting a snap-on-smile? It only takes two visits to the dentist....I saw it on t.v."
Me: "Love you baby girl" Avery: "Love you baby girl...Mom"
Tate: "Dad, McKay says Claire is part of our family" Corey: "No, she's our friend" McKay "Dad....Heavanly Father....we're all brothers and sisters"
Brecken: (walking up to me with his pants undone) "Mom, wi you push my button?"
Corey: "See ya later alligators" 5 minuites later........ Breck "Bye awigator"
Tate: "do you know what's bad about school?" Me: "what?" Tate: " you can't always go to school, I want to ALWAYS go to school"
Brecken's rooster: "Bok-a-do-da-dddooo"
Tate to Corey: "Keaton put his hands around my neck" Corey: "Keaton, what are you doing choking your brother?" Keaton: "I wasn't choking him, I was using a pressure point!"
Me: "Tate, what was the best part of your day?" Tate: "well I know what was the worst part of the day, when Trever slid into me on the carpet. He should be sended to a place to be trained how to be nice."
Tate showing me that he'd cleaned up the camping chairs as part of his jobs: "Here's the chairs, it was pretty hard so I said a little prayer but it didn't work that good." Me: " Looks like your prayer worked just fine, you did a good job" Tate: "Mom, you can't SEE prayers, no one can!"
Quizing his cousin Tate said: "Aubrey, is Jesus more importanter than soccer??"
Often when Avery's being mean to Breck he'll say to me "Avery, timeout!"
Tate: "Mom what do you want to be when you grow up?" Me:"I am grown up" Tate: "Then why aren't you being anything?"
Keaton (aka: carrott-lover): "If I were a caveman I would eat dirty carrotts....if I had to."
Tate: "Mom Mac got his-self a little friend" Me: "oh yeah, what kind of bug is it?" Tate: "I dunno, we got to discover it."
Tate:"Mom, why did Jesus create itchiness?"
In the car we were voting on teams....Corey "Who likes the Jazz? (kids raise their hands) Who likes the Utes? (kids raise their hands)Who likes BYU?(kids raise their hands) Who likes SUU? " (kids raise their hands) McKay: "Hey! Who likes MTC?"
Tate (as I was running out of the tv room to switch laundry during the commercials): "Mom, the guy said don't go away!"
Tate: "Mom, you have fat leg cheeks!" (pointing to my calves)
Whenever Avery wants to go anywhere she says "set go!"
Tate (holding up his card to the Aquarium) : "Mom! Is this card inspired?"
Tate: "Dad, wanna wrestle, I'll go easy on ya!"
Ice cream dripping down his chin...Tate: "Wook! I have a UT!" Keaton: ":You must mean a goatee"
Pointing to puddles along our front yard Breck: "Wook, dwink!"
Sitting in the tub he just drained Breck: "Spiwed, dwink spiwed (spilled)"
Tate: "What does servant mean" Me: "it's someone who serves someone else" Tate: "So you're my servant!"
Tate: "Mom! Come here!! the lizard is shedding off its head!!"
Tate: " Mom, when I push your leg like this it shakes your booty."
Keaton: "We got hot lunch yesterday cuz Dad had NO IDEA how to make us a lunch!"
Getting in the car leaving Grandmas....Tate in a singsong voice: "McKay, you forgot something.......my seatbelt." Apparently doing up Tate's seatbelt is Mac's job!
Tate: "Mom! You know who broke that (refering to a dollar store hula hoop)?!" Me: "who" Tate: "McKay, he should go to juvie."
Corey: "Have you guys ever been bullied at school?" McKay "Well, one time a first grader kicked a ball and it hit me in the head."
Tate: "Mom! Dad is a toof stealer, the toof fairy is not real, it's just regular people, not flying!"
Tate: " Dad, did you know that some statues are made out of marbles?!"
Tate came in upset because his big brothers didn't like how he was playing. I told him to go get his jammies on so he could have a treat. He replied "Den can we read Harry Potter without dem."
Tate was sitting in the rocking chair as I changed Brecken's diaper, Avery walked in and I said, very dramatically "oh no! are you stinky too?!" Tate's response: "They are twins Mom."
I asked the kids what they wanted for lunch and Mac said "pasta" Keaton chimed in "yeah, pasta la vista!"
Tate came into our room in the middle of the night with a "scarey dream." Corey sleepily asked what was wrong and Tate said " I don't know Dad it was jus a little dream!"
Me to Brecken: "close your eyes and fold your arms" Brecken: covers his eyes with his hands.
Avery: (bugging Breck) " I am a robot and I know it and I'm not afraid to show it"
Avery: "What is that fing by the window?" Me: "I don't know" Avery: "I guess we just haf to fink about it!"
