Where did Vance Miller get his name?

ok, so I've had a bunch of people ask about Van's name! "Where did you get that?" and that sort of thing! So I thought I'd share! Back in April we got an email from Andy's cousin Brock and this picture and poem were included. I will let it speak for itself! Andy and I like to name our children after family. Our oldest son is Owen Walker after Andy's great grandfather (Owen) on his Mom's side, and my great grandfather (Walker was his last name) on my mom's side. So Vance came from Andy's great grandfather (Warren Vance) on his Dad's side, and I knew I wasn't going to have enough boys to name them after all I wanted to on my dad's side so I gave him my maiden name (Miller) because that was the common denominator!!! So now you know!!! hope that's not too confusing! =)

Say What?

Just thought I'd share some of the interesting things that come out of my children's mouths!!!! The other day Shelbie was coloring for homework while I was doing dishes. "mom" she says. "what?" "why is this called blue and this called brown? Why can't this (holding up brown) be blue and this (holding up blue) be brown?" I say: "I know what you mean! and I want to know who gets to decide!" she says: "mom, I KNOW who gets to decide, it's God and His Son, what I want to know is how they chose the WORDS!" Well, what can you say to that? LOL!

While I was getting the boys ready to take Owen to school the other day, Drew decided he wanted to wear his skate shoes so I told him to go get his socks. "NO! I can't do it I'm not giant!" was the response I recieved! Giant, really? Where did that come from? So funny!!!

One day while I was helping Shelbie pick out what she was going to wear to school I suggested one of her new dresses. here was the reply I got: "I really like that dress, but I don't want to be inappropriate. Kids don't really dress that good at my school!" Oh my, OK!!!

Shelbie and Owen were playing just yesterday and I overheard them talking. Shelbie says: "Owen let's play house, I'll be the mommy and you be my kid" Owen says: "no way! I'll be the daddy, then I can go golfing while you clean house!" Oh WOW this kid is five and already knows how his dad (and every other adult male he knows) operates!!
