Chump

Definition in the book of Charlie:

Chump (verb): to chump; the act of karate chopping something, the cutting of any foods, what happens when the potty seat almost falls on your pee pee, the cutting of hair, the pushing down of laundry to make more room in the basket

actual examples:

"You stand here and let me chump you with my chop."

"Can I help you chump up that tay-toe?"

"Ahhhh, that seat almost chumped my pee pee!!"

"I don't want Jennifer to chump my hair off!"

"Here, let me chump it down and I'll put this towel in there for you."

Big Boy "B"

So, seems like in a week Brady has grown so much. I am sad sometimes, but I am reminded by Jamie often that we should be so thankful our boys are healthy and growing and never be sad to see it happen. Here are some words he can say now:

"Tad" (for his "tag" blanket)
Cat
Charlotte (his girlfriend:)
Grant
Dark
Horse (and says it a lot)
Easy (that's what he calls our little friend, Colt. Apparently he's heard it a lot)
Bites
Crab



And now, officially, he has slept through the night. We've moved into the stage where he learns everyday, and I can see him growing. I love him and his precious personality. Every morning he wakes up he says, "horse?" He begs to go outside and see the horses all the time. He will also bring you a glove and a ball when he wants to hit with the bat. He's a ham, and his mean face is one of a kind. I love our little "hootie hoot."

Our friend, Tony

Let me begin by explaining a little something. Charlie has three people in his life I have heard him call "friends."

#1: "Best Friend" is his cousin, Grant
#2: "Girl Friend" is the beautiful, Gracie Reese

And officially, since last week, his #3: "My Friend" Tony Hicks.

Tony is a great guy who has worked with Jamie for years. Tony loves making kids laugh, and because of this my boys love him. We visited him on Halloween and he put on this huge suit just for the boys. Since Charlie has been getting serious about this Star Wars stuff, Jamie has been filling Tony in on it. One day Tony calls that he's coming over. We had no idea just how great this visit would be. He brought Charlie a box full of Star Wars action figures. Charlie LOVED them to say the least. While Charlie and I were rocking the kitchen table with some saber fights, Tony was holding Brady and making these crazy animal sounds that I can't describe. Then, the other day I was trying to make Brady laugh by making the wildest sounds I could. Charlie comes storming into the living room and says, "Hey, that's what my friend Tony says!" It was priceless. More so if you know Charlie. He doesn't just call everyone that.

Anyway. I'm thankful for Tony. He takes care of Jamie, and now he is looking after my little guys. He's the best!

Say What?

Pentagon lets services members march in gay pride parade in uniform

Woman behind military mom's picture breastfeeding in uniform fired 

Humm??? Both headlines. Both legit articles. Anyone else think something is screwy with this? I'm not actually asking by the way, but I believe a true patriot questions their government, so there's my question.


Stupid liberals. And there's something extra I'll throw in for free.
