Kass

This girl is funny and quirky! I love most of the things that she says and does. We are always finding lists or little notes that she makes. She loves to make stuff for me and they make my day.

My mother's day card said:

Dear Mom, I love you. I hope I can live with you forever. If you weren't here right now I wouldn't have had a fun birthday party. Thanks for  everything you do.
Your daughter,
Kassidee.

Then all over the outside she wrote things like:
You rock! I love you for life!
You're the best! Thanks!

One day we were in the car and Mikelle says, "What's wrong with you? You have ADD or something! You are always doing weird things." I said, "Well, that's ironic." (If anyone has ADD it's Mikelle. She can never sit still or sit long enough to concentrate on anything.) Mikelle says, "What does that mean?" I sit there stammering for a minute... trying to sort of explain "ironic." Kass says, "You mean like the Ironic Priesthood?" Matt and I busted out laughing and then explained that it was the Aaronic Priesthood.

I made cookies the other day and Mikelle and Kass wanted to take some to their teachers with a little note. Mikelle's said: You're so greeat, Mr. B. Thanks so much for teaching me!


Well, I'm not sure what Kassidee's ended up saying but we found some rough drafts on the table the next day.
One said: Of all the Fishels in the sea, I'm so glad you're here with me! From: Kassidee (Your student)
On the back it was written in cursive: You taught me how to write cursive. Thanks!  (Practice)
She drew pictures of fish on it. LOL

The other one said: Mrs. Fishel, You're so great! Have a cookie! Let's celebrate!

I hope it made her teacher's day because it sure made mine! 


Love that girl! I can't believe she's already 9 and I can't believe that she wears a half size smaller in shoes than me and a half size bigger than her older sister!

I am not his best friend

 I love my little Logi bear! He can be so sweet! He can also be quite a little stinker! He loves to tease and one of the best ways to get him to do something is to use reverse psychology, just tell him he can't do it. He is so extremely stubborn. I think he might even be more stubborn than Kass (and that is saying a lot!)

It is rare if we can get him to nap or nap at a reasonable hour. However, he really, really, really NEEDS a nap.

He loves to watch cartoons on my computer. I love the picture of him falling asleep in the computer chair. Silly boy!
He is not my best friend. Daddy and Mia are his best friends. Sometimes even Mikelle is his best friend.  He loves me and he always gives me kisses and loves but I am not his best friend.

I love being able to observe and watch kids grow. He just hit one of my favorite stages, the pretend stage. He is commonly "kitty" and he meows and rubs my leg. I also have to call him "Kitty." He calls Mikelle "Puppy" and leads her around and tells her basic commands. One day he was playing puppy with her, and he says, "Here puppy eat dis!"  She does. (Really Kell? What where you thinking eating something when you had no idea what it was?) She says, "Ewwww, what is that?" Logan says, "Oh it just a wittle Pea crisp!"  Ha ha ha It was seriously sooooo funny! By the way, pea crisps really aren't that bad. They're chips made out of peas and other veggies. Apparently she doesn't like them.

 He  can be pretty grumpy, especially when asked to do something that he does not want to do.

 When you try to take a picture of him he squints his eyes and says, "Cheese!" I really wish he wouldn't  because I am having a really difficult time getting good pictures of him now.

 HE has a love / jealousy relationship with new baby sister. He is so rough with her. I feel like I can't get anything done because I'm so afraid he's going to hurt her if I look away for a second. He gives love bonks (head butts), and pulls on her little arms, and steps on her, licks her etc etc. I'm not really sure how to get him to stop or to understand he's hurting her. Right now we're trying to teach him to be soft and encourage the good things he does, like when he kisses her head or talks sweet to her.

He is obsessed with Angry Birds. HE wants an Angry Bird birthday. Yes, his fingernails are painted in this picture. No, we do not encourage that, but what can you do? He has older sisters! Poor kid, I'm sure there will be lots of black mail pictures when he's older.












I love the things that he says. I really need to start writing them down cause they are so cute and funny.

Me (playing a game): I'm not doing so well today!
Logan: Yes, you do. You just awesome!
Me: Thanks buddy!
Logan: Well, that wasn't so good!

He saw a picture of a pig and said, "Mmmmmm ham!" a cow and said, "Mmmm.. hamburger!"

Logan woke up one morning (after coughing all night long) and says, "I don't feel good. Bless my heart!"

Logan: I have hiccups in my tummy!
Me: Oh no! What are you going to do?
Logan: I say, "Hey hiccup boys, you can't get out!"

Logan: "Mom, I not dorable.... but you can still eat me up!"

Any time he doesn't like what you tell him he gets mad and says, "Stop saying those words! We don't use those words!"

Kass and Logan get in fights all the time. They're both stubborn. My favorite was when she was trying to get him to say sorry. 

Kass: Logan say sorry!

Logan: I don't know that word!

Kass: Say sorry Logan!

Logan: We don't say those words. 

(Irony: He will tell you to say sorry any time you do something he doesn't like.)

He likes watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. He said, "Be Bop and Rock Steady, they naughty boys, huh?" He calls all the bad guys naughty guys or bad guys.

We saw an interesting guy at the park and Logan says, "He a bad guy, huh?" I said, "No, we don't know him. He's a stranger and we don't know if he's nice or not." Logan says, "Well, if he's a stranger then he's a naughty guy."

He like Phineas and Ferb and I love the way he says, Phineas AAANNNDDD Ferb." He always pronounces the "and" really loud and long. 

I was trying to get him to try a cookie. He didn't want to and I said, "Try it, you'll like it!" He said,"How do you know?" I said, "I know everything." He tried and and said, "Wow! You really do know everything!"  I have to write this down because I know I will never ever hear that again. 

I really wish I could remember everything that he says because he makes me laugh daily.
