Welch Family Adventures: Life in Twin Falls, Idaho

Life in Twin Falls, Idaho

We moved to Twin Falls at the end of June, 2012. Carter came the next month . . .

I remember when Pierce was born, Olivia was so excited to have a baby brother. She was a little mommy at age two. When Carter was born, Pierce was excited but he was a bit more impressed that my room had a flat-screened TV. The thing that brought him the most excitement that day was seeing a helicopter outside the window. Babies are neat but helicopters are awesome!

The following month, Pierce turned two.

We followed our family tradition of serving a "devil's" food cake for the second birthday. Pierce really was an adorable two-year-old. I'd give him a "mild" on his crazy behavior and an "exceeds expectations" on his good-nature, peace-making behavior.

Soon after Pierce turned two, we blessed the baby.

Funny Kid Quotes

Pierce is going through a phase where he likes bum bum jokes. One day he said, "Mom shake your boobies" and so I said, "did you just say, 'shake your bum bum?'" he replied, "No, shake your nursing thingies."

I didn't want to put Pierce's socks on because I had just put on wart medicine. He really wanted his socks on though so he told me that I should just put them on because they were wart approved. -age 3

Carter: When Carter was 2-3 years old, he would always stand up on his chair to eat, turn around and shake his bottom while chanting, "shake my doody, shake my doody, shake my doody."

Carter just said his bedtime prayer and it went a little something like this: "Thank you for Mommy and thank yo for Cinderella and thank you for all the princesses."

Carter: "When I grow up I'm going to marry Cinderella."

Mommy: "Really?"

Carter: "Yes, I'm going to marry Cinderella if she wears a blue or a pink dress, not a white dress."

Mommy: "Will you kiss her if you marry her?"

Carter: "Yippee!"

Carter: "Mom, can I take a bath next year?"

Mommy: "Yes Carter, yes you can."

Mommy: Pierce, we don't say "ha, ha."

Pierce: But ha, ha is my favorite word!

Mommy: Why is your face covered in chocolate?

Pierce: I didn't eat anything. . .

Pierce always says "Oh" whenever you tell him things. For example,

"I love you Pierce." "Oh"

Mommy was on the beanbag with the two older kids, Pierce was playing by Carter. All of the sudden Carter started crying and Pierce yells out, "Somebody else did it!" October 2013

I was trying to get Pierce to try a mini quiche at Costco. After offering a piece of candy for one bite eaten, Pierce replied, "I'm trying not to eat too much candy. I had a lot of candy on Halloween and now on the other days I try not to eat too much candy." Nov 2013

If the kids keep getting out of their bed at night, I'll put them in their car-seat for about 30 seconds. One night Pierce was struggling so I said, "Pierce if you get out of bed, I'm going to put you in your car-seat." He replied, "That's not an option mom."
