pig tails

I know there's an unwritten cap to how long a girl can keep long hair. But....I might wear pig tails until the day I die. Will that be weird? Can we still be friends?

Quotes that speak to me

My descripton of me

Previously Lindsay Thomason. "Mommy" to 2, "Linds" to friends (call me that & I think we're friends instantly), "Beak" to my daddy, "Lou" to my mom, "Princess, Linjaws Fillmore, Rindsy Roo, HBST, Master Snake, & the polka dot lady" to select friends.
Interested in interior design, laughing a lot, rodeos (okay-any outdoor summer event), heat, cookies, driving with the windows down regardless of its affect on gas mileage, good country music (Chris LeDoux), kissing, sentimental anything, playing with my hilariously cooky family, motorcycles, swing & big band dancing with anyone who will dance with me (usually my sisters), thunderstorms (Yes, Doug, thunderstorms make me happy), and my bed (I LOVE my bed!).

lines from the little ones

2012:

ME: (throwing a hershey kiss in my mouth) "And THIS is for my sanity!"
BROOKLYN: "What's sanity?"
ME: "It's so I won't go crazy."
BRANDT: "So, if I say I'm about to go crazy, will I get chocolate too?"

At 18 months, Brayden found & climbed into his infant car seat that was out on the floor & laid back with a smile on his face. BRANDT saw him and said, "Old school, huh?"

BROOKLYN: "Eenie-meenie-mynee-moe is ALWAYS the best way to make hard decisions."

ME: "Yay Brooklyn! You moved up a reading group! You've gotten so good at reading! Good job!"
BROOKLYN: "It's all because of Dick & Jane."

BRANDT: "Without bread crusts, time would not exist."

BROOKLYN: "So....if you weren't married to Daddy, who would you pick to marry - Justin Bieber or uncle Brady?"

2011:

BROOKLYN: (pointing to her ta-tas) "I call these jugs."

BROOKLYN: Watches me get ready, then announces, "You look decent."

BRANDT: "When I was little, I picked my nose. But I quit, just like someone who does drugs quits."

BROOKLYN: "Ahhhhhh...Brayden is a dream!"

NURSE assessing Brayden's chicken pox: "Well, I'm not sure about what those are..."
BROOKLYN: "I think he's just cold and has goosebumps."

BROOKLYN: "Is Brayden a trial offer?"

(while eating Sausage McMuffins from McDonald's after I dragged them out of bed to run something to work for Clay that he'd forgot)
BROOKLYN: "Mom, I'm trying really hard not to complain...but this is disgusting. Do I have to finish it?"
BRANDT: "Sometimes I wish I didn't have tastebuds! I'm trying to pretend it's something else!"

2010:

ME:(trying on clothes) "Brooklyn, what do you think of this shirt? Do you like it?"
BROOKLYN: ".....I don't know.....let's see how it looks when you smile."

BRANDT: (frequently blurts out as we drive around town) "That's the power of the Home Depot!"

BRANDT:"Ughhhhhhh!!!! Brooklyn, look!" (points to Clay and I kissing in the kitchen)

BRANDT: "OH NO! I dressed all in blue today! Now guess what I look like?! A BYU fan. Oh, no."

BRANDT: "Hey Mom, thanks for letting me borrow your toothbrush."
ME: "You're welcome. Wait.......what?"

BROOKLYN: " I know why it's called a backpack. Because it goes on your back & it packs your stuff around. That's my hypothesis."

BROOKLYN: "The song 'I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus' is non-fiction. Know why? Because Mommy's are real, kissing is real, & Santa Claus is real."

BROOKLYN: "My teacher says we can't kiss boys at school."
BRANDT: "Yep."
CLAY: "Oh? Why's that?"
BRANDT & BROOKLYN: "It spreads germs."

BRANDT: "I love corn on the cob! It makes my heart rejoice!"

BRANDT'S KINDERGARTEN TEACHER: "Brandt, come show us your eyes. Yep, see. This one has stars right in his eyes. He just likes to get into mischief."

ME: "Do you want to come snuggle me on my lap?"
BROOKLYN: {sick & feverish & straight out of the bath} "Yes. That's what mommies are for, to make me all better & to say it's okay."

BROOKLYN: "My raisins taste like poison, ...but I like it!"

CLAY: "Brooklyn, do you ever stop talking?"
BROOKLYN: "...No."
CLAY: "Well, I need a break."
BROOKLYN: "Then YOU can cover your ears."

BRANDT: "Mom, can you count to 100 zillion?"
ME: "Um...I'm sure I could if I took the time to. Can you?"
BROOKLYN: "I bet Jesus can."

BROOKLYN: "I wish Jesus didn't give owies to the Earth. I get owies all the time on the Earth."

{pre-ultrasound conversation}
AUNT KIMI: "Brooklyn, do you want your mom to have a boy or a girl?"
BROOKLYN: "A girl. But my dad already knows it's a boy."

BROOKLYN: "Mom, I decided this is going to be my new favorite thing to say.....{puts her hand on her hip} 'Well, that doesn't surprise me!' "

PRESCHOOL TEACHER: "You look so cute today Brooklyn!"
BROOKLYN: " I did NOT pick out this outfit. My mom did. It's too pink and hearty for me."

BRANDT: "Can we get a dog?"
CLAY: "You'll have to ask your mom about that."
KIDS: "Mom can we PLEASE get a dog?"
ME: "You can have me or you can have a dog."
BRANDT, BROOKLYN, & CLAY: "A dog." (no hesitation)

BRANDT: (showing me his latest Lego creation) "Behold!"

BROOKLYN: "Brock is kind of a funny name. It sounds like broccoli."
ME: " I like it. Did you know there's a place named Brooklyn?"
BROOKLYN: (jaw dropped, eyes wide open)
ME: "In New York. What do you think of that?"
BROOKLYN: " I can't BELIEVE IT!"

CLAY (notices that Brandt's pockets are bulging as we pack up to go to gma's): "What do you have in your pockets?"
BRANDT: "Army guys."
CLAY: "Why are you bringing so many?"
BRANDT: "Two teams."

BRANDT: "I think I want to be a pirate. Mom, how do I sign up to be a pirate?"

BROOKLYN: "I just love to dance and swing my hips!"

2009:

BROOKLYN: "I just love this dress! It's so itchy & pretty!"

BROOKLYN: (at her friend's house) "I'm going to change my clothes in the bathroom so you don't have to see my nakedness. My nakedness is disgusting!"

BROOKLYN: (preface to any confession) " Mommy, I really love you, and it was an accident, but I...."

BROOKLYN: "Next year I want to be a cat for Halloween with Haley Bug. We can be stylish & scratch people together."

ME: "You're so cute! I'm just going to gobble you right up!"
BROOKLYN (tearing up): "You're not really going to eat your snuggle bug are you?"

CLAY: "Why didn't you get a shower today?"
ME: "Ask them." (gesturing to the two shrimps in the back seat of the car)
CLAY: "Why didn't mommy get a shower today?"
BROOKLYN: (shrugs her shoulders) "That's her problem."

BROOKLYN: "When I grow up I can have gum and a 'hunny'
and a baby cut out of my stomach."

BROOKLYN: "Who is my teacher's daughter? Oh yeah, 'Warwa Woowis.'" (Laura Lewis-how does she say that so fast?)

BRANDT: "Dad-do you love jam?"
CLAY: "I love Mommy. Do you know why I love her? Because she's so good to me."
BRANDT: "I feel like I'm in love with this jam."

BRANDT: "Does heaven have a kitchen like ours?"

BRANDT: (hugging me out of nowhere) "I love you. You're the best mom I ever loved. When you die I want to die too so we can both be in heaven together. At the same time. Do you know why I love you? Because you love me."

ME: "Hey Brandt! You're all done with your rest?"
MY MOM: "Did you like the air mattress?"
BRANDT: "Yeah.........I can do backflips now!"

BRANDT: (hugging me, crying from sheer exhaustion while taking a break from his sleepover across the street) "I forgot that I cry when I'm away from you Mommy."

BROOKLYN: "Will you play house with me Mommy? I'll be the mom & you can be the 'Hunny'."

BROOKLYN: "Mommy, why is that man smiling at me? Is it because I'm SO pretty?"

BROOKLYN: (shouting into her play phone, accompanied by many large exasperated gestures)
"Just let me marry the prince! I am gorgeous! I just want to marry him, so let me! I have my dress on. This isn't working out! Have him wear his cape & I'm going to wear my crown!"

BRANDT: (being a weasel) "Grandma, I can't eat my lasagna because I'm allergic to cheese."
GMA BURNS: "Is there something else we can get for Brandt to eat? He's allergic to cheese. "
KIMI: "You are not!! You eat cheese on pizza all the time!" :)

CLAY: "After we finish up lunch we're going to Snowbird. Once we get there you can have all the treats you want."
BRANDT: "Without even stopping?!"
(later that same night as he was eating his cake & ice cream)
"Mom, could you go get me another fruit roll-up? Oh, and can I have some Root Beer?"

BROOKLYN: (suddenly holds very still in the pool, looks at me and says) "I'm not peeing in my pants Mommy."

BRANDT: "Lightning didn't hit our house last night because I prayed to God in the basement that it wouldn't!"

BROOKLYN: "Daddy, why do you like basketball so much?"
DADDY: "Because I do. Do you like basketball?"
BROOKLYN: "No, I like princesses & Hulk."

BRANDT & BROOKLYN: (right after getting in trouble by me) "Are you going to tell daddy? Is he going to be upset?"
ME: I am upset!!
BRANDT & BROOKLYN: "....But are you going to tell daddy?"

BROOKLYN: "What's slobber?"
BRANDT: "Slobber is the wet stuff that gets on you when you get a kiss."

BROOKLYN: "We're best friends, right mom?"

BROOKLYN: "It's a beautiful day to be home with you."

BROOKLYN: "It's a nice day to go on a drive with you."

ME: "You're my little Kissyface!"
BROOKLYN: "No, Mom. Today I'm Snow White."
ME: "Oh....and has Snow White cleaned up her room?"
BROOKLYN: "Snow White doesn't even have a room to clean."
ME: "Well....you do."
BROOKLYN: "Snow White doesn't clean, Mom."

ME: "Good night Brooklyn. I'll see you in the morning. "
BROOKLYN: "And I will hug & kiss you all the day!"

BRANDT (upon registration): "Did you hear that mom!?! She said this is the BEST kindergarten ever!"

BROOKLYN: "I'm going to wait for you to put your shirt on all the way & then I'm going to say, 'You look beautiful today mommy!'"

BROOKLYN: Is singing her "Every Day!" song (made up) at the top of her lungs right now to a pair of her panties. She keeps putting her hand over her heart & singing at the top of her lungs with her eyes closed.

BROOKLYN: (to her reflection in the mirror) "Just perfect."

BROOKLYN: "Brandt how many times are you going to marry me?"
BRANDT: "67....no,65."
BROOKLYN: "but not Kelsey, I want you to marry me."
BRANDT: "Ok."
BROOKLYN: (very VERY satisfied look on her face.)

BROOKLYN: (sharing new song she learned in Primary today) "The Polish man built his house upon the sand......The rain came down and the flowers came up!" She refuses to be corrected.

BRANDT: " I think I'd like to have a back scratcher of my own."

BROOKLYN: "But if I don't go Isaak & Brandt won't have a girl to chase them!"

BRANDT:(decked out in his Superman costume) "I just did an 'unappropriate' jump."
ME: "Really? What made it inappropriate?"
BRANDT: "Cause I was swinging my arms around the whole time that I jumped."

BRANDT: in the middle of his prayer he hugs my arm & says, "I just love my mom!"

ME: "Brandt, did you wash your hands?"
BRANDT:"...............I want to lie."

BROOKLYN: ".....and then we can get married and gives hugs & kisses!"
BRANDT: "Kisses are gross."
CLAY: "We'll see how you feel about them when you're 18."

BROOKLYN: (anytime she senses she may be in trouble) yells, "I love you mom!"

2008:

BROOKLYN calls my sister Haley Bug "Hey Doug"

SIS. WILSON (sacrament mtg. chorister): said loudly so that everyone could hear,"We're going to sing "I am a Child of God on page 301."
BRANDT: (stood up on the pew & shouted out in a mimic sort of way-loud enough so that everyone could hear) "And I know that one-all of the verses!"

CLAY: "Who makes the rules in the house?"
BRANDT: "Mommy."
CLAY: (laugh) "Who really makes the rules in the house?"
BRANDT: "Mommy."
CLAY: "Why do you think that?"
BRANDT: "Cause she's cute all of the time."

BRANDT: "I had an awful dream last night."
ME: "What was it about?"
BRANDT: "It was my birthday and I was 4 turning 5."
ME: "That was a bad thing?"
BRANDT:" Well everyone else in my class is 4 and if I turn 5 I will be so lonely and not have any friends."

BROOKLYN: "I can do it all by myself. I'm a woman."

BROOKLYN: After inspecting my wedding ring...."Daddy, can you marry me?"
CLAY: "Well, I'm already married. Sorry, I can't."
BROOKLYN: (sobbing & running back to me) "Daddy says he can't marry me!"

ME to Brooklyn while she "signs" her name in at preschool: "B-r-o-o-k-l-y-n, good! What does that spell?"
BROOKLYN: "Lena!" (the name she's chosen for herself and insists we refer to her as for 6 months now)

ME: "Brooklyn, I told you we can't play with that!"
BROOKLYN: "Ja-ja said I could." (Ja-Ja is her imaginary mom.)

BRANDT to "fishy papa": "I'm going to be Superman for Halloween! I even have a cape!"
G-PA: "Does that mean you'll be able to fly?"
BRANDT: ".............maybe........" (hope in his voice and mind)

BRANDT: "Why did Jesus make mommies so soft?"
ME: (laugh) "I don't know, why do you think he did?"
BRANDT: "So you are comfy when you hold me at night."

BROOKLYN: " I love Cinderella, she is my best!" (is it weird that I am SO excited that she talks like Lola?)

BRANDT: "Mom, did daddy marry you because he saw you in a meeting and you were all sparkly?"

CLAY:"Brooklyn, you can't play outside in that tutu or eat in it. Mommy won't tell me how much it cost so I'm pretty sure it wasn't cheap!"

BRANDT: "Wow mom, you look beautiful!"

BRANDT: "Does Heavenly Father give flowers to girls up there in heaven?"

BROOKLYN to Kira (a doll): "One day there girl named Cinderella and she marry a prince named Charming."

BRANDT: "Is that Macanoni & Cheese I smell?!"

ME: "Brandt I just don't want you to play or watch movies or video games with fighting in them. It's not good for your mind."
BRANDT: "But Mom! Even when I watch fighting I still have Jesus in my head. He's still in my head Mom."

BRANDT to his friend: "Scott, I'll come out and play in a little while. Right now I'm hugging my mom."

BROOKLYN: (after every prayer now, mixed with sobbing) "Hey! You didn't pray for mommy to be safe!"

BROOKLYN to BRANDT: "I command you to be quiet!"

BROOKLYN'S 3 SONGS: (sung usually in the grocery cart, church hallways, backseat of the car, while feeding plastic babies plastic bottles, and ALWAYS at full lung capacity)

"I am a child of Pocahontas..." (repeat)
"Savages, savages, savages,savages..." (repeat)
"Sing sweet night and girl (throw in a couple screeching notes)..." (then repeat)

BRANDT: "Mom! Your hair looks almost pretty!"

BROOKLYN: (she leans over the rail of the top bunk to kiss me good night, pauses and looks deep into my eyes, and says) "Mommy, you the best mommy ever."

BRANDT: (doing Brandt's hair for church) "Mom can you spell "Hot Wheels" in it and make flames?"

BRANDT: (discussion about rollie pollie bugs) "In the winter they turn grey and then they are....(holds perfectly still for a couple seconds w/o speaking)......frozen."

BROOKLYN: "I wish I big and pretty like Karlee."

BRANDT: "Does the Burger King live in our world?"
BROOKLYN: "How does the Burger King furtect (protect) himself?"

BROOKLYN: "Jesus walked out on a dangerous road and he died. I say, 'Na,na,na Jesus' but he not listen to me and he died."

BRANDT to primary teacher: "My mom says I can't watch Spiderman because then I might get thoughts in my head."

BROOKLYN: "Mommy-someday you can grow up and be a mommy like Kimi and have a baby."

BRANDT: "I wish daddy had a hook on is truck so we could bring Snowbird home with us."

BRANDT: "We need to lock all the doors so no strangers get in and break our new garbage can."

BRANDT: "Mom, I can't stop loving these tacos!"

BROOKLYN: "I not in trouble." (said every time Brandt is)

BRANDT: (I was way sick and decided to sing the bedtime song to the kids from up on the couch so I wouldn't have to move).....
(a couple minutes of silence, and then)....
"Mom, that's the worst song I've ever heard."

BRANDT: "Reading Rainbow is not my favorite. It's the weirdest show I've ever seen."

BRANDT: (hands on hips in front doorway) "Mom! Come look at our beautiful world!"

BROOKLYN: "Look Bramma! Me undayshayt covers me ta-ta's!" (said with undershirt lifted way up)

BRANDT: "I'll miss Brooklyn while I'm gone mom. She looks so pretty today. Know when I think she's the prettiest?"
"When?"
"When she's wearing all green."

BROOKLYN: "Brandt, you be the prince today?" (said daily)

BRANDT: "No I want my hair like a hot wheel driver!" (interpretation-picture the slick typical little boy in the 80's hairstyle, complete with a part)

BROOKLYN: "Me not sugar! Me Brookwin!"

CLAY: "Alright kids, that's enough kissing. This isn't backwoods Virginia!"

BRANDT to "waffle grandma": "My mom says I can't play with guns and swords. But I don't listen to her."

BRANDT to "owl grandma:" "Why don't you just yell at us to go to sleep like my mom does?"

BRANDT:"I better wash my hands before we go in the ice cream store or the lady will say....'WHAT?!?" (He yelled it so loud and upset in the car it totally startled Clay & I and then we could not stop laughing. )

BRANDT: "Mom, can I have ice cream?"
"No."
"Ohhhh kayyy..... I was just practicing being good when you say no."
