French Fries

French fries are my favorite food!  I love them so much they are yummy to my tummy!  Everytime I eat them I sing "there's a party in my tummy, so yummy, so yummy"!!!! I really would like it if mommy would let me eat them for breakfast, lunch, dinner and every snack in between, but she said I have to eat other things that are healthy for me too.  But sense we don't always have french fries at home I had a brilliant idea today!!  Mom must have thought it was a great idea, because she smiled real big and then got right on the phone with Chris Dovin to tell her what a great idea I had!!! 

I decided to make a french fry tree!!!  As soon as this thing grows, I'll have a huge french fry party!!!  French fries for EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!

Talk to yall later!

Quest

Hakuna Matata

Today Quest had an especially fun day!!  First he was trying out his new potty chair and singing all about poop.  "I poo poo on the potty" and on and on and on... so I said hey Quest, we probably don't need to sing about poop, why don't we sing a happy song?  Let's sing Hakuna Matata, so I began singing it to him.  Then he started singing with me, here's his version "Hakuna Matata, and I poop on the potta".............  oh my goodness, I think my sides hurt.

After that we were getting ready for our day and trying to get sissy (Mariah) up for school.  Her bedroom is in the basement, and when she is down there you can hear her from an air conditioning vent near the floor.  So I called her to see if she was up and what she was doing and Quest got on his hands and knees and said "Sissy, where are you????  Are you in the floor?" 

Quest Quotes

04/01/2011  We had some fried fish and french fries for dinner, I asked Quest if he was going to eat his fish, and he looked down and said "little fishy's wake up!!!"

    
Drove through the car wash and opened the window to hand the guy my car wash card, I hear Quest from the back seat say "hey, I want a Diet Coke"


He picked up a leaf that was in the entry way, and said "hey mom look, it's a tree feather".


The other day he had grabbed the plunger out of the bathroom, and when he wasn't looking daddy grabbed it from him  and put it back in the bathroom and he said "I need it the plunger, Daddy"......  how in the world does he know what a  plunger is???  I don't think they have a Nick Jr show that specializes in teaching "the word of the day is plunger"...

 One of Quests favorite shows is "Little Bill",  well, we went through the drivethru at McDonalds one day, and my precious little man see's the cashier, who is black... all of a sudden I hear this cute little voice in the backseat say  "Bill, Bill!!! Hi Bill!!!"  I looked at Justin and he looked at me, he immediately put the newspaper in front of his face to hide the laughter and the tears that were running down his cheeks......

You have to understand that this truly is the most perfect baby, ever.... He goes to bed everynight between 6:30-8:00, wakes up everymorning around 7ish, but stays in his room until he hears his Poppa come through the door between 7:45-8.  He gets up in the morning, "pushes the button" (turns on a movie), and either lays back down or plays with toys... He can open his door, and he usually does, but we have a gate up at the door so that he doesn't get out and go wandering when we're asleep.... well the other morning, he opened his bedroom door and said "Mom, Dad, I waked up,  and I need coffee"........... 
hee hee hee hee....  Wonder what the first thing we do every morning is???

Yesterday I was picking him up to take him for a nap, when he let his body go like a limp noodle.  I told him not to do    that because it hurts mommy's back.  He sat straight up, and put one hand on my chest and one on my back and began    rubbing me.  He said "I'm sorry mommy, there it's all better now, alllllllll better...." :)

One day he was in his playpen, and he was eating a Nutri Grain Bar, and he choked a little bit, before I could even make    it into the living room I hear "I'm okay, Tracy"....

And so it begins.....

My name is Tracy, and I am the mommy of this most precocious two year old, Quest.  A friend of mine has been urging me for at least six months to begin a "Quest Blog".  I have been told by many people that Quests antics are something that should be shared with the world, because they make you smile, laugh and sometimes even cry!  So, here I am!!!  I don't know about sharing with the world, but at least a few of you in my inner circle, that truly would enjoy hearing all of his cute stories!!!

I guess I will start by telling y'all a little bit about Quests family... Like I said, I am Tracy and the mommy, the daddy is Justin, Quest has a brother Michael who is 18, and a "sissy" Mariah, who is 15, he also has a great grandma that we live with and take care of, we call her Maw Maw, and she is 89.  He has a Mama T and a Poppa who live less than a mile away, many other relatives that live here in Lubbock, and my precious family that live tooo toooo far away in California, we call them Gramma and Poppa.  Gramma and Poppa have adopted a beautiful girl, who I guess technically is Quests Aunt, but since she is 5 years old, she really is more of a sister to him!  Other names that you will hear mentioned are great friends, Chris Dovin, Doug, Grandpa (daddy's grandpa), Cydnee (Mariahs unofficial adopted sister), Holly (Michael's girlfriend).... oh can't think of any others at the moment, but those are most of the active players in our lives!!!!!! :)

Well, I guess that is all for now! :) From now on most of these posts will be from Quests perspective.... let's see how this thing goes!!!! :)
