What do you know mom?

So today, as we were driving home from Wal-Mart (in the pouring down rain, I might add), Camdyn and I somehow got into a conversation over Aprons. The story behind the story: She was painting in her class at church tonight and her teacher put aprons on the children to keep their clothes from getting messy. Also, my younger sister Marissa works as a grocery bagger at Publix and wore her apron home this afternoon while we were visiting my moms house. Anyhow, back to my original reason for posting this, Camdyn insisted that she was wearing an April and that Marissa said it was April and so that is what it was. I casually corrected her and let her know that it was actually called an A-pron not an A-pril. At this point, little miss sassy pants decided she was going to argue with mommy, and to be honest I don't know why I gave in to arguing with my 3-year old, but I did. It's not an April, it's an Apron. She asked me how I knew what it was called and I told her because mommies are very smart and know lots of things. Do you know what her reply was?!?!? "Well, Marissa TOLD me it is a April and your not very smart, mommy...your very, very, very, very a LOSER!" WHAT?!?!?!?!? That's right, my child just called me a loser! Granted, I know that she has no idea what that means and is just saying because she has heard it from the quite older young people that she is around so very often, but, OH MY WORD, she just called me a loser! I almost cracked up but because I don't want her to keep calling others losers, I had to correct her. I explained that Loser was not a nice name to call others and that she shouldn't say it because it hurts peoples feelings. Her reply? "Well, Kelcie says loser to me!" Who is Kelcie, you might ask. Our babysitter. Looks like we'll be having a talk this week about the words you do and don't use around 3-year olds!

Our (not so) New Addition!

Wow! Zachary Ethan Brickhouse joined our family on January 2, 2010 and I'm just now getting around to posting about it. Good thing that most of the people who read this see us on a regular basis and have already met him. For the few of you who haven't, here are few photos of our sweet baby boy and he is oh so very sweet.

He is about 2 months old in both of these photos.
