Dad's Surgery

Here's the scoop - Dad went into surgery at 7:30 this morning and they took out his gall bladder - nothing else. He's doing fine and has had a few visitors this morning already. They should be home tomorrow morning, some time. I think they're just glad that it's over...

Tanner said...

"Yeah. When I get bigger, I can buy some money."

"I won't be able to do that until I'm bigger and wiser like you."

"Kaylee, can you play Indiana Jones with me?"

Mariah and I asked Tanner who his best friends were and he said, "Well, Jesse."

"Who next?" we asked,

"Boriah" (Mariah) then we asked,

"Who next?"

"Nafan" (Nathan) "to beat him up."

Once again, Mariah and I regularly ask Tanner,

"Hey, Tanner, Who's the coolest?"

His normal answer is,

"Nafan"

But on this rare occasion he said,

"Well... Justin wants to be. But Nafan is."

Later, actually months later, I asked Him again and he says,

"Tanner!!!"

"Mom, mom! Did you find Sleeping Beauty?"

"No, I found Cinderella, though."

"Yes!"

Tanner prayed during our Family Prayer time and this is what he said:

"Jesus-God,

Fank you for Josh and Megan and Kaylee and Tyler and Daddy and Timmy and Mommy and everybody. Fank you for all the toys and fank you for all the Indiana Jones. Amen."

"When I die, I'll be dead."

In the middle of the Miami Dolphins game today (Oct. 26) Dad was cheering the TV on by saying, "GO BABY, GO BABY, GO BABY!!!" and Tanner thought that Dad was talking to mom, since he (dad) frequently calls mom "baby"... So Tanner added, "Go mommy, go mommy, go mommy!" to cheer on the winning Dolphins. (they won that game, by the way!)

"Dad, Dad - That bad guy he fighted him and that guy, he killed him in the tummy!"

"Mom, I just want everyone to call me Indiana..."

"Tyler, Wario is not the best. Pit is the best!"

"Froggies.... You catch them and you stick them in a bucket."

"I want some water... (1 minute later)... thanks. Water is good. And so is french fries."

I asked him for a story from the bible and this is what I get:

"The guy had blood on him and he falled down and he died. David killed him"

"Pirates of the Carribean was fighting Davey Jones and was servants and was pirate ship."

"Davy Crocket, the big bear was behind Davy Crocket and Davy Crocket shoot the bear and he climbed up a tree. And that’s all."

"Nim’s island was on the island and it was so much fun and I didn’t know and she climbed up the tree. That’s all."

I was babysitting Tanner and he yells, “The treasure map! Servant…. Now you may be killed. No! Now you may be killed.” Walks over and picks up some string and starts twirling it. He hit something,
“Sorry,”
"Hey Tanner, please don’t do that." He pretends not to hear me. "Tanner."
"You won’t call dad! You can’t call dad." Twirls it with more vengeance.
"Tanner, please stop."
"You won’t call dad."
"No. I won’t."
"You won’t call him. You can’t."

"Welcome to Morning!"

"I win-d Timmy." apparently they were racing and he won...

Tanner prayed again this morning...

"Jesus, God... thank you for Mommy and Daddy and Tyler and Kaylee and let us have a good day. And please heal everybody. Everybody who doesn't have healin' in their body. Amen."

"Dad? Can Ty-Ty switch places with Timmy? 'Cause Tyler stinks."

Mariah told Tanner, "Tanner, You're so cute!"

And he replied, "Yeah. I am."

I asked, "Tanner, Who's the Coolest?"

"Ummmm. Sidney is. And Boriah is. And Tyler and Jess and Josh and Justin..."

"What about Nathan?!"

"No. Nathan's my best friend."

"So, he's not the coolest?"

"No! He's just my best friend."

"Kaylee! Mom made popcorn for us and do you want some?"

"No thanks."

"Don't you like popcorn?"

"No. Not really..."

"Why don't you like popcorn?"

"I dunno. I just don't."

"Is it because you're stupid?"

"Hey, Tyler... Do you see that pretty ball in the sky?? Daddy said that's the moon..."

"Hey. Who's the coolest?"

"Just Bariah... and Jesse"

"Who else?"

"No one."

"What about Nathan?"

"No one else."

"Lord have mercy."

"There it is! Home, sweet home..."

"This is the funnest thing I've never done!"

"Oh my gosh! Kaylee! Look at that star! It's moving really fast!"

"Kaylee, can I please take pictures with your camera?"

"No."

"Kaylee, can I take pictures with your computer?"

"Nope."

"Gosh. No one lets me do anything here."
