Ray Speaks

Scott came home from work today and asked Ray to give him a big hug. Ray obliged and decided that was not enough, so he planted a big kiss on Daddy's face. He then said, "Kisses are better without the scratchy beard."

After that, Scott was making dinner and we were all bantering. Scott was in Kelly's way, so she said "What are you doing, Scott?". Ray said, " He's doin' his ooowwwn thing."

You ought to be in pictures!

As time is at a premium right now, here are some pictures from the past month or so. Enjoy!

Durufle, do you?

I am pleased to announce I have been accepted back into the Utah Symphony Chorus. I called just in time for the auditions, and was even invited to sing with the small choir at this summer's Deer Valley Music Festival performance of Durufle's Requiem. The '08-'09 season is awesome and includes Beethoven's 9th, Mozart's Requiem, an Ives Symphony (!), a Bach Cantata & Bernstein's Mass. Come listen!!!

What's your name?

In case you were wondering, yes, we are moving back to SLC. Scott has been working there for almost 2 weeks now, and we are crashing at Candace's (poor Grandma!). Candace has caller ID, which can be a bad thing for telemarketers. When the ID displayed a questionable number Sydney and I decided to let Ray answer the phone. Here are some of the things Ray said, completely unprompted, to the unsuspecting caller.

Hello.
What's your name.
She's busy right now.
Do you have a girlfriend?
Mmmm...just Sydney & Mommy & Thomas.
What are you doing?

I wish I could remember more of what he said. We were in fits when he asked about a girlfriend. It turned out to be someone calling about Nelson's motorcycle. Whoops.

Food - A Love-Hate Relationship

Okay, sorry about all the old stuff, but now that I can get videos posted fairly quickly, I could not overlook this classic. Back on March 2nd Thomas demonstrated his distaste for the food I was feeding him. Of course, he also seemed to be enjoying the process, although he was probably just laughing at me.

Rayisms:

We were having stew for dinner and told Ray to try dipping his toast in it. He did so and after trying it he said, "I just like it PLAIN."

While trying to convince Scott to let him watch the Transformers DVD we just purchased Ray said the following. "I know you'll like it, Daddy. I promise you'll love it."

Strong Man

Ray just LOVES doing what you will see in this video, taken yesterday. Amazingly Thomas loves it, too.
