Quotes from Easter Weekend 2012

"When you look at your life, the greatest happinesses are family happinesses." ~Joyce Brothers

I had a great Easter weekend at home with the fam. Little Brother's wedding shower was on Saturday (blog on that coming soon!) so we got to see lots of family and friends over the weekend, which was awesome. I thought I'd share some of my favorite quotes from the events....Little Cowboy: "Tiff, I forgive you for shooting me in the face, you can come out of time out now."
(This occurred during our nerf gun wars with the new dart shooting guns that Aunt Tiff bought for the weekend.....he was on one end of my parents' giant leather couch and I was on the other. He popped up and I, not realizing that he was so short that the only part of him that would be above the couch was his face, fired the gun and shot him....right in the eye. Cue the screaming and crying from him, inappropriate laughing from me, and time out for Aunt Tiff. Luckily I was forgiven and the shooting games continued.)
(After the wedding shower...at which Little Cowboy arm wrestled all of the women in attendance--including one who is recovering from open heart surgery!)
Aunt Tiff: "Little Cowboy, did you arm wrestle with Opie's mom today?"
Little Cowboy: "No. I only arm wrestled with the young ladies."

Little Cowboy: "Tiff, what does a lawyer do?"
Aunt Tiff: "I fight with people every day."
My Mom: "She means fight with her words, not with her fists."
Little Cowboy: "I bet if she just popped them once she could stop all that fighting."


Little Cowboy's grandma (at lunch): "Little Cowboy, you're supposed to be eating, not talking right now."
Little Cowboy: "Listen Mimi, I haven't seen my family in a long time. This is more important."


Random family friend (to Little Cowboy): "Is Tiff an adult?"
Little Cowboy: "No. She's just a little person. Not an adult."


Dr. Kyra (she's a family friend making her first blog appearance!): "Traveling with my husband is like doing pennance."
Me: "One woman's pennance is another woman's good time!"
Dr. Kyra: "Just for me saying that, you watch me end up in jail or the wheelchair in Vegas."


Wedding Date (to Little Cowboy): "Hi, I'm Wedding Date, nice to meet you."
Little Cowboy: "I'm Eli (which is his real name). But I like to be called Eli....Manning."


Little Cowboy (to my mom): "You'll never guess what happened at the barn. That big guy got a bloody nose because Tiff hit him right in the face." (BFF came over to visit and look at lambs on Sunday morning early and ended up with a horrible bloody nose from all the dust....Little Cowboy was facinated by all the blood and convinced that I had hit him!)


Lastly, if you guys are not my facebook friends, you've missed a completely insane and inappropriate conversation about Little Brother's upcoming Vegas wedding between my family. Uncle Buddy summed it up as he walked out of the house to go home on Sunday.
Uncle Buddy: "See you guys in Vegas. GET. READY."
