dad's birthday

tonight when dad was opening his presents, he opened up this little crystal prism. he goes, "wow! i love prisms! braden, don't you think prisms are cool?"

braden: "yeah!" the way he said it was hilarious. it was like he was trying to say, sure whatever you say dad, but sincerely, and it came out really sarcastic. dad, mom, and i were laughing so hard. the face he made just added to it!

next dad opens up an aggot. (some kind of rock.) braden grabs it from dad, and dad says "braden, what are you doing?!?" "im trying to peel off the $12.50 sign!" we all start cracking up. then he says "what?" dad explains, "braden, when you tear off the price tag, the whole point is so the person doesn't know how much it costed them. you just told me, so peeling off the sticker was pointless!" then braden says, "oooooooooh!", seeing his mistake and laughing a little nervously, and then he changed the subject.

bluebonnet cafe

at the lake trip, we went to the bluebonnet cafe. me and braden rode with kenny and megan, while everyone else was in the other car. when we pulled up, everyone was like, aw im so hungry! and braden shouts, "hey, i just came for the home made rolls!" later we noticed a sign on the building that said "fresh home made rolls everyday!"

What are you feeding us Mom?

So tonight we are having pork roast. Mom was trying out a new recipe and Braden saw it on the counter. The name of the recipe is Pork Butt Roast. Mom used a shoulder, don't worry. Anyways, Braden picks it up and yells pretty much through the house, "Mom, you're feeding us PORK BUTT?!?!?!?!?!?"

scout camp

Last night Dad and Braden got home from scout camp. when they were describing the thunderstorm of thursday night, dad said, i think the only thunderstorm i have been in that was louder than this was at philmont! and braden said, yeah, it was like a thousand mini-gongs getting banged at the same time! we were all trying so hard not to laugh, because he was dead serious.

Pony Cuts

Last night we went to Chinatown. After dinner, we were driving around looking for the Bing shop. We passed a strip center, and I said, "Look! There's a haircut place called Pony Cuts." Apparently, Braden was the only one to hear it because then he yelled, "Let's shave a pony!" Kenny was like, "Braden, what are you talking about?? Marissa, what did he get that from? You are laughing, so apparently you know what he is talking about!"

Reese

Tonight at dinner, we were talking about how Mom was graduating from elementary school after 20 years. She was saying how she probably won't be back for 6 years, and then Dad brought up how she will probably be there in 3 or 4 years to visit Breanna. Then somehow we got on the topic of Braden's teacher having a baby in 2 weeks. Oh yeah, Mom said something like she got her baby a dress or something. Then Braden said that she was naming her Reese. Dad made a funny look and said, "That's a name that will be made fun of." Mom said, "I think of Reese Witherspoon." And Braden says, "Man, when she's in high school, if she is pretty, all the playas will be like, 'Come here, buttercup!'" 

Cold Water

Braden is going swimming right now and the pool is still freezing!
