The Truth is- Every year at the church Halloween party they have a chili cook off. It's one of those things where everyone's a winner and get a different award. 2 years ago I made CHICKEN chili and I won the "Very Vegetarian" award. . . Not sure how that works. . .
The Truth is- My mom and I had a deal that if I didn't kiss a boy till I was 16 she would give me $100. I got my $100. But I think we're going to do the same sort of thing with our kids. Especially Preston. Cause he's already quite popular with the ladies, and loooooooves to give and get kisses. (Pstt...Natalie...you might want to gently break the news to Rylie that although he Preston loves her and will marry her he can't kiss her till after he's 16.)
The Truth is- That we have a few "family rules" that we grew up with and still live by. And these aren't your typical family rules. Some of our family rules are "No motorcycles"- My mom was a nurse and saw too many motorcycle injuries. Later after some incidents this rule was changed to "No motorcycles, no ATV's/Quads, no jet ski's". Sometimes people like Jimmy start to think they might want a motorcycle and then I have to remind them of this rule. Another rule "No dating someone who someone else in the family has dated." That one needs no explanation. Next, "No hitting the soccer ball with your head". Head injuries may ensue. Sometimes I have to remind Jimmy of this one. And lastly "No playing in the fire." Jimmy. Apparently scout camp makes some people, Jimmy, want to jump over the fire or play hot potato with the fiery red coals.
Jimmy.
The Truth is- When Patrick was younger, he thought the phrase "pardon me" was actually "part of me". So he would squeeze by people and say "part of me".
The Truth is- Today, July 28th, marks 4 years since my mom died. I wish I could say "oh wow it's gone by so fast." But then I think about how every single day for the last 4 years I've thought about her, and then it doesn't seem to have gone by fast at all.

well... at least you won the award... but i guess i would be more worried about who decided your chili was vegetarian??
HAHAHA... ok... "part of me"...and then your text the other day about "give said the little string"
... me thinks Patrick might have issues with words...hahaha... i wanna know what he thinks some song lyrics are sometime...hahaha.
my mom also has a no motorcycle rule. Ty is currently trying to talk her into one...NOT happening. i agree with that rule!
seriously...i just picture little patrick saying "part of me"...hahaha, i love it.. i keep laughing...
I also love that he thought a "pack-n-play" was "pat can play" we still call it a pat can play. and that was just a few years ago! but i am not really one to talk there is a collective soul song that says something but i always heard "porn star sings" so we always sing it that way cuz it is more fun!
I love your wednesdays! I might have to incorporate them into my blog since I am so random at blogging. And I hear ya on that whole 4 years thing not going by fast and whatnot! Hope you are having an okay day. Love you!!
Jen, you should start doing this! It's easier then it seems. I suggest keeping a list throughout the week of ideas that come to you that you could put on your "truths". Its fun!! And people tend to like it.
I love the truth is, too! I look at everyone's blogs 1-2 times a week and I always love Wednesday blogs.
Patrick's phrases are the best. I can't wait when Preston starts having his own.
