My sweet and darling boy asked me so many questions on the ride home from his grandparents house tonight with me.
"Is that guy cutting you off?" Mommy; He almost did but we are safe. I need to be more careful what I say.
"Trees are living things, but stop signs aren't." Mommy; Yes, trees are living things but stop signs are not. I had told him that a few months ago. Amazing the things he remembers.
I also told him tonight, that the Moon is the reflection of the Sun. I explained to him that the Sun is behind the Moon and giving the light to the moon and asked him if he knew that. His response? "Yes."
"Are lights living things?" He was inquiring about the street lights on the road that lit our way home.
I replied; No lights are not living things. But, they were made by people a long time ago to help us see in the dark. So we can drive home.
And now we can turn on the lights in dark rooms to help us see, isn't that helpful? "Yes."
"Are houses living things?" No houses are not living things, but they are made by people.
"People are living things!" Yes. And people live in houses, like Mommy and Daddy and who else lives with us in our house?
"Me! Christopher lives in a house with Mommy and Daddy!" Yes,we all live in a house together.
Grandpa Joe and Grandma Cheryl gave him a stuffed Toy Monkey since he asked for one from Disneyworld. They went there this past week. His monkey resembles a backpack but it's feet and arms velcroe around Christoper's arms with the Monkey in the front or the back of him.
Grandpa Joe; "What is your Monkey's name?!" Christopher; "Kudo!"
Grandpa Joe; "What does a Monkey say?" Christopher; "Oooh Ooooh Ahhhh Ahhhh"
Grandpa Joe; "Looks like your ballon has just about had it." He got a balloon from their house that was getting old and losing air.
Mommy; It's losing helium.
Christopher; "Oooooh!:( Did it run out of gas?" I had to chuckle inside.
"That's what my car says, Did you run out of gas?"
Grandpa and Mommy (at different times, because Mommy laughed first) ; Yes it ran out of gas.
He knows what gas is because Daddy and I explained that it is special food for the car but only for the car so that it has energy to go. It's like our bodies, because when we need energy we put food in our bodies to help us have energy to play. He likes and understands that analogy.
"I'm Superman for Halloween tomorrow!"
"Robin Hood Robin Hood Robin Hood!" He's making up a song.
Mommy; What is Daddy for Halloween?
Christopher; "Robin Hood!"
Mommy; "What is Mommy going to be for Halloween tomorrow?"
Christopher; "A Princess!" I am Maid Marian, or a Medieval Princess.
Mommy; "Yes!" "What is Grandma Cheryl going to be for Halloween?"
Christopher; "A witch!"
Mommy; What is Grandpa Joe going to be for Halloween?
Christopher; *blank stare* "uhhhh."
Mommy; "Is Grandpa Joe going to be a Businessman? Or a nerd with glasses?"
Christopher; "Yes!"
I thought I'd share these gems before I forgot his priceless words!
Have a great rest of your Sunday Night! And Happy Halloween tomorrow!

Imaginary Snowballs
"Mommy I love you, yeah, yeah, yeah!" "I love my Mommy, I love my Mommy, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!"
My son sang this as he was dancing for me earlier today! I love him oodles, the best charmer ever!;)
Robert taught him that song and that dance.
"It's not water time, it's juice time!" He said this after he woke up because it's daytime and he wanted juice, it's not night time when he has water!
He said all these yesterday and the day before;
"Look it's Daddy's Birthday Card! It's says Daddy Robert Merkley!"
Robert; "What's my full name?"
Christopher; "Daddy Robert!"
Mommy; Christopher, What's your Daddy's full name? You know it.
Christopher; "Grandpa Clark!"
Mommy; "No, that's my Daddy!"
Robert; My full name is Robert Blaine Merkley
Christopher; "Wobert Bwaine Merkwey!"
Robert; "What is Grandpa Joe's whole name?"
Christopher; He replies with a question mark face as if he's rebuttaling: "Daddy didn't you answer your own question?"
Robert; "My Daddy's full name is Blaine Joe Merkley".
Christopher; "Bwaine Joe Merkwey!"
"I'm playing catch with snowballs!" He tells Mommy as he pretends to throw me 2 imaginary snowballs!
I say; Got it! Here you go! And throw them back to him.
Christopher; "I got it Mommy!" As he pretends to catch them. Mommy; "Great job Christopher!"
I throw it again he says; "I got it again Mommy!" I reply; "Great Catch Christopher!"
Mommy; "I'm going to the Library!" Christopher; "To take my books back? Can I come too?"
Mommy; "No, I'm studying you stay here with Daddy."
Christopher; " But Daddy's boring!"

Halloween Party
We went to a Halloween Party tonight! Christopher was Superman!
I was Maid Marian and Robert was Robin Hood!
Corn bag toss; he got 2 out of 3!
Superman and Buzz Lighyear, these two are buddies!
A sulking Superman
My boy consented for taking pictures with us if he could go play musical chairs afterwards.
Mommy with Superman
Superman, Maid Marian and Robin Hood!
Superman and Batman! And Robert was joking he was Robin!
Pumpkin Bowling! He hit quite a few!
Musical Chairs!
Happy Smile, when he got out he cried so hard.
He was still trying to figure out the game.
Freeze Dancing
He loves to groove! That's my boy!
I have to share a few things he's said the last couple of days. This morning I was feeling very nauseated and not doing well, I had a bad headache and a really hurty tummy. But later on today I felt better.
He walks in and says; "If you have num nums it will feel you better!" He can be so sweet sometimes!
Later tonight he said; "I gotta go do my job and get the bad guys out there!"
He had his superman costume on and was pretending to punch, kick and fight bad guys.
He was pointing to go outside and get the bad guys out there.
Last night we were driving home from dinner with Cheryl and Joe at Bombay House.
I had told him that the Sun, Mountains and Trees go to sleep when it gets dark.
Therefore, he replied;
"Goodnight sun! Goodnight Trees, mountains, red things (I said,honey those are leaves), goodnight leaves, goodnight sky!"
This hilarious quote happened yesterday.
Christopher: "Check it out ladies!" as he puts his right leg up and grins ear to ear! Quite a few laughs from me. "Is that what you tell the girl's at school?" "Yeah!" he repeats it because i laugh so hard every time he does! Haha! He keeps saying it and laughing with me. Sometimes I have no idea where he hears these phrases or comes up with them. But, they are sure funny!
This morning; "Look this diaper matches the Luigi one daddy put on me!" It does."Is President Dorf on the penny? They match!" President Lincoln the President of the United States a long time ago, is on the penny. He showed me 2 pennies. He knows they match. I think he meant President Uchtdorf in our Church 1st Presidency. It's a
hard name to say!
This funny one happened 2 days ago.
Robert: "Corn dogs, corn dogs they are so good to eat, good when they're fresh, good when they're old. Good when they're hot, good when the're cold."
Christopher: "They're not good cold! They have to be warm!"
The Ward Halloween Party was fun tonight! An 11 year old boy told my husband he was lucky to be married to such a beautiful woman! I said oh thank you and gave the boy an appreciative hug.
I told him it was good for my husband to be reminded how lucky he is.
My husband came home and told me he has competition now! Haha! He was teasing of course!
Hope you all had a great Friday night!
Love, Chelsea

Hiccup Conundrum
This morning I had hiccup burps. I mean the kind that really hurts my throat when I hiccup and burp at the same time. They irritate me. Well, needless to say my son had a solution!
"Mommy I fork your hiccups! I fight them and they go bye bye! Is that all better now?"
So funny! He said those things while I was drinking orange juice!
When I took his picture today he said; "Cheese Quesadillas!"
I said that's so cute, who taught you to say that? "Aunt Elena & Uncle Dave!"
Yesterday he said; "Oh look, a fancy new carpet! That is so cool!" There is a new carpet in the building at the U that he goes to class in, and he thought it was really neat! These pictures are all from this morning!
Lining up his cars!
"Cheese Quesadillas!"
Have a great Wednesday!

Corn Maze
I apolagize for not posting for a few days. I have been trying to study for an upcoming Exam,
and to do loads and loads of laundry from when Robert was sick a few days ago.
I have been taking care of Robert too. Getting him Soup, Chicken Broth, Gingerale and Sprite and the like.
We have been better for a bit now.
We took Christopher to the Crazy Corn Maze in West Jordan on Saturday. It was a different perspective on mazes. Instead of a huge maze with tons of bails of hay and no directions there were posts with numbers on them and questions attached to them that you filled out. All of the questions had to do with corn. It was fun. But, I admit Christopher was tired of walking after a while so daddy carried him on his shoulders periodically.
Scary Bones at the Corn Maze Entrance!
Lining up his trains today!
"Look Mom, It's Corn! It's beautiful!"
"I want you to open these M&M's. There for Mommy!"
Daddy; Yeah those are for Mommy.
Christopher; "Yeah, those are for Mommy! But I want to eat them now!"
Have a great night!

Superhero Fantasy
Mommy; No more banging, please! He knocks over a toy onto the couch and gives me the look like he doesn't want to get into trouble for it.
Mommy; Does that classify as banging?
Christopher; "No, crashing, me was just playing."
Mommy; don’t do that again or you'll get your toys taken away.
He goes downstairs and plays with his trucks on the stairs. He drops one into the wall and says;
"Me kissed the wall better! It's okay!" How can I punish him for that?
"After my Phineas & Pherb Go-gurt I need real food!"
Yes you do. "I want a corn dog and cereal and that's it."
We need to work on his idea of real food.
Then he says; "I'm not hungry." Boys are complicated.
Yes you do. "I want a corn dog and cereal and that's it."
We need to work on his idea of real food.
Then he says; "I'm not hungry." Boys are complicated.
I said you get to go straight to nap if you don't have a bite before I count to 3! He took 3 bites and then went to bed with little fuss!
Hurrah, Hurrah, Hurrah I'm marching up the stairs! Hurrah-- Hurrah-- Hurrah: I'm marching up the stairs! He exclaimed this about six times and many repeats were while he was walking around the family room! Do you know that song? Mommy; No it sounds very nice! Did you just make it up?
Christopher; "Yeah, Daddy makes it up too." "And then, the Doctor's put my ear right over here!"
He places his toy ambulance on his ear that had a skin tag removed about 6 months ago.
"Vroom, Vroom, Voom, Voom, Voom-- ha you bony! Come back here! Raggggh. OOooo look he's marching, he's driving away! I know!"
He bangs his toy cars together and makes the bad one fall down. "I'm trying!" The toy cars fall off the couch, he tries to beat up the ambulance with his silver car. Maybe Cars 2 wasn't a good show to watch today. He was doing all these actions with his toy cars.
He repeated his alphabet today in very mean terms and said them like he was a bad guy. I stopped him, but it was comical.
“Oooo a Dolphin break it.” He commences panting repeatedly like a dog.
“The number four car the King, Mater you are way bad to me!”
He keeps saying; “Seafood; There’s See Food in my mouth! Only he says it when he’s not eating and there is no food in his mouth. Earlier he was eating a Chocolate Chip Pop Tart and he mused: “ Seafood! Ahhhhh! Over and over again, I taught him that the other day. I think I should’ve been smarter and not taught him that! Getting him to chew with his mouth closed is more challenging!
“Mommy, come over here and play with me!”
"R2D2's dead! No I'm not dead! Rarrr! Urrrrr! Arrrrrr! RDU2 You're not dead! Haya, ya! Pow Pow! Batman's all dead almost! Urrr! Raaaaaarrr, back to the poem beat! CRASH! Bang! Bang! Urrr! " Boys are entertaining to watch.
Here are a few photos of him playing with his cars.
Lining up his cars!
"Superman is coming to save the Day! Batman is coming to save the day! My Superpower! I'm coming to get you dead! Batman flies around for a while, "I wonder who's there?"
Christopher as Superman; "Superman coming to the rescue! Superman, Time for the rescue!"
Christopher as Batman; "I'm Batman!"
As Superman; "Nice to meet you Batman I'm the one who gets the bad guys!"
As Batman; "The penguin gets me and me get him with my Batman sword!"
As Superman; "Superman to the rescue! Genius! I and my sword, bang, bang, clang, clang!"
To R2D2; "You're battery is dead!" It actually is.
As R2D2; "It's the battery in me not out of me!"
Hope this makes you smile, have a wonderful day! And get outside sometime, it's beautiful!"Do you wanna play this game daddy?"
Daddy; No.
"Yes you do!" Snickers and laughs from me and Daddy.
"I want this game Daddy, I want the Tynosaurus Rex."
I can't beat the T. Rex.
"Are you the triceratops?"
"Are you going to get close to the Dinosaur?"
No.
"Yes you are! You gotta get close to the Dinosaur!"
"You got the triceratops Daddy!"
Yes I did.
"He was running so you couldn't get him, and you got him!"
"Is the perasaraluphus not in this place?"
I havn't seen him.
"You haven't seen any? Why?"
"Look, a Triceratops there!"
"I will let you do that, get Dimetridon!"
Daddy; No.
"Yes you do!" Snickers and laughs from me and Daddy.
"I want this game Daddy, I want the Tynosaurus Rex."
I can't beat the T. Rex.
"Are you the triceratops?"
"Are you going to get close to the Dinosaur?"
No.
"Yes you are! You gotta get close to the Dinosaur!"
"You got the triceratops Daddy!"
Yes I did.
"He was running so you couldn't get him, and you got him!"
"Is the perasaraluphus not in this place?"
I havn't seen him.
"You haven't seen any? Why?"
"Look, a Triceratops there!"
"I will let you do that, get Dimetridon!"
Being Silly playing with Daddy's glasses
Such a funny boy!
Cutie!
Flirty with the Camera
Christopher kept saying; "Is this my Shadow? Is this my Shadow? Oh look my Shadow!
It's on the carpet? Now it's on the wall! It protects me from not being afraid of Monsters tonight, and
me won't be afraid of Dinosaurs tonight that will scare me in my bedroom."
" I don't like them in my bedroom, because they scare me in bed and me will beat them dead!"
Mommy; Okay.
He was right he was looking at his shadow. So entertaining!
"I can't see my shadow in the hallway because it's quite dark! It's quite dark in there!
I think it's in my playroom, it was on my train set! It's on my dinosaur, on my circus!"
"Shark eats the Dinosaurs!"
Hope this makes you smile and snicker a bit.
Hope you got outside today, it was a lovely Fall day!

Songs of Love
Christopher sang to me today; "Chuga chuga chuga choo chooo, Chugga chugga I love you!" My husband taught him that while I was taking out the garbage this morning.
The other day he sang; "I love my Mommy I love my Bubby and I love my Daddy too and Christopher too; aren't you proud of you!" It's really adorable.
Robert taught him that too, but it does get bothersome after a while.
We bought him Cars and Toy Story Underwear today.He picked them out.
I also told him we are giving the diapers to the babies because he is a big boy and the babies need them. It's going to be an interesting few days. In a few days I am going to a free kids swap and bringing lots of things we don't need to it. Diapers will be one of those things. Only he's going to be a mess for a few days until he gets used to using the potty. We are being bold and not going to use diapers except at night anymore. I hope we have some clothes left!
Lately he's been into spitting at us and banging things together.
I mean spitting in our faces and trying to make it funny and not rude. I've tried several approaches to this. First I tried taking his toys away and tell him we don't spit in people's faces or they won't play with him; he needs to be nice. When that didn't work I tried; Let's use our mouths for--talking, eating and giving kisses to Mommy and Daddy and saying I love you. That seemed to work a bit better. When I caught him spitting again and he spit at me I asked; "What do we use our mouths for?" He belligerently replied; "Spitting!" When I asked him again he said; "Talking, eating and kissing Mommy and Daddy."
Still not sure about how to get him to stop banging his toy cars, trucks, trains and other toys together. Except when he does that I hide them for a while and he doesn't see them for a few days or so. He's also been throwing little cushy footballs at our faces while we were unsuspecting, so I took them away and it's been better so far.
Hope you all have a great Wednesday! We bought 2 packs of underwear for our lil guy today hope we succeed in our potty training endeavor!

The Living Planet Aquairium
We took Christopher to the Aquarium today, he loved it.
Robert Dressed him in BYU Blue because they won their game on Saturday.
He wore it all day. I am okay with that.
I just hope the Utes Football comes back before Saturday and they play better.
Counting with his fingers
Cheese on the froggy!
Watching Penguins with Daddy!
He's bigger than that penguin now!
He's almost as big as this one!
Pointing to and talking about the Electric EEL.
"Go Long Daddy, Go Long!" He has a mini-football he plays catch with, with Daddy and I.
It was so cute.
I let him watch part of Thor with us and we explained to him that Thor was a Superhero who comes from another land different from ours. He beats the bad guys, but most of all protects the good guys.
"He beats the bad guys!" Mommy; Yes dear.
"Is that a bad Robot guy?" Yes.
"Is he the guy who uses his hammer to fight bad guys!" Yes.
In their world, they believe he is the God of Thunder and Rain.
"Oh."
"Uh oh his face is blooding!" He was speaking of Thor getting hurt by the bad Robot.
Mommy;He got owies, remember, this is just a pretend story. It's not real.
"He beat the bad Robot guy!" Yes.
The real bad guy is his brother.
"Oh, his brother is sad."
"Uh oh his brother let go, OH NO! OHHH."
The good guys win in Superhero movies honey.
He was watching the Discovery Channel about Sharks earlier.
I said; Agggggh a Shark.
He rebuttal's; "I'm not afraid of Sharks!" And he's being serious! He's got no fear like his Dad!
Potty Trained-
"When me's potty trained can I have a Shark, but not a real one, a plastic one?"
"When me's potty trained can I have that playhouse and those Dinosaurs?"
Mommy;You told Daddy you wanted a ring and a watch. Mommy said she'd get you a Kidtuff Camera, when you are potty trained.
I am not promising you the world for learning to do something you need to learn to do anyway.
"Oooooh":( he gives me his best sad face. The shark he wants is a remote control balloon that is hideously propelled by some air spinner that looks awful and I wouldn't want it in my house anyway.
Happy early Tuesday Morning! Hope you are all having a great Fall Break!

Superman!
This morning he tried to wake up his Daddy. I wouldn't let him.
He said this as Daddy walked into the kitchen and was standing up.
"Daddy it's time to wake up!" "Wake up, otherwise-wake up!" "Oh are you awake?"
Daddy sarcasticly replies; No I'm asleep!
"Oh, Daddy waked up!"
Daddy; Christopher say Daddy's right or you don't get a quesadilla! Who's right?
"Mommy!" "Mommy can I have a quesadilla?" Mommy; YES!
"Oh thank you!"
He's learned the art of playing off parents.
"A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-J-K-L-M-N-O-P-Q-R-S-T-U-V-W-X-Y and Z Now I know my ABC's next time won't you sing with me!" He sang this song over and over and had me sing with him twice. Then he said it was Mommy's turn so I sang it by myself. He's so smart! He got all the letters right too!
"Mom this is the women's bathroom, I'm a boy!"
"I'm a boy I'm sposed to go in the boy's bathroom, but Mommy can't go in there because Mommy is a girl!"
"Look that's a Mommy Bear and a boy!" He was noticing the Koala Bear, (who's actually a marsupial); holding the baby Koala in her arms. He immediately thought it was a Mommy and boy.
Mommy; I didn't know that! Very cool!
"When me's potty trained can me have a White Shark?!"
Mommy; I can't get you a real one out of the ocean, it might eat you and I don't think you would like that!
" Can me have a Big Great White Plastic one with plastic teeth?! After me's potty trained today!"
When do you want to potty train, right now?
"No, not right now. Me's dancing for you."
"Real Sharks are not nice to me, Sharks are bad. Sharks will bite my fingers off!
Can me get a plastic one when me's potty trained?"
Daddy; Grandma Cheryl and Grandpa Joe are here Christopher!
Grandma Cheryl; We came to visit you Christopher!
"Oh Hi Grandma, me wants to show you all my toys!"
Mommy brings out his Superman Costume.
Tell them what this is honey!
"My Hawoween Costume, Superman!"
Mommy;Let's put it on for Grandma and Grandpa!
Me gets the bad guys! *punch punch* *spin around and kick* punch punch*
Grandpa; Who is that?
"Superman!" Runs and pretends to fly around with his costume on!
Mommy; "It's a Bird, It'a a plane it's, who?
"SUPERMAN!"
Grandpa Joe; Stay away from Cryptonite!
Mommy; Yeah Cryptonite will give you owies!
Christopher; Me's getting the bad guys! *punch punch kick kick* He punches Mommy on accident.
Grandpa Joe; No punching Mommy and Daddy they are good guys!
I'm messing it up Mommy! Ha ha 3 year old boys!
Yesterday he lined up his cars all in a row and had them fall off! So adorable!
Superman Fell down! He was so excited to be surprised by his Grandparents!
Grandma Cheryl and Christopher!
Superman picking up his juice!
No take a picture of my hat!
Smiling at Cheryl; sorry these are a bit blurry.
Cowboy Superman drinking Juice.
As they were leaving Grandpa Joe states; What's that? He was pointing at the moon.
Christopher; "The Moon!" "Me can walk on it like in Imagination song!" I sing him a song at night
where it tells him he can go anywhere he wants and be anyone he wants in his imagination.
It has a section where I say that he can walk on the moon like an astronaut if he closes his eyes and dreams.
He loves it!
I told him a story tonight about when he was a baby that his brain was smaller because his body was littler and that every year his brain grows and get's bigger to help him imagine things with his mind and heart.
That imagination can take him anywhere he wants to go by pretending. He really enjoyed that!
Hope you all had a great Sunday!

He said this as Daddy walked into the kitchen and was standing up.
"Daddy it's time to wake up!" "Wake up, otherwise-wake up!" "Oh are you awake?"
Daddy sarcasticly replies; No I'm asleep!
"Oh, Daddy waked up!"
Daddy; Christopher say Daddy's right or you don't get a quesadilla! Who's right?
"Mommy!" "Mommy can I have a quesadilla?" Mommy; YES!
"Oh thank you!"
He's learned the art of playing off parents.

Game Day
Today was awesome! Our family got to go onto the Field at Rice-Eccles Stadium and watch the Band play the Pre-Game Show. We even got to run out onto part of the field with them! It was wonderful! We even got to dance the Hokey Pokey and sing the UTAH chant with the UTE BAND! It was a great day!
By the Ute Band!
My sweet boy!
Hamming it up for the Camera
Cheese
With the Ute Dancers!
My son said today; "Dolphins have big mouths and they eat people!"
I replied; "They have big mouths but they eat fish." He insisted again that they eat people. He was laughing when he said this.
He said today;"When I get older I want to play in the Band." "They sound really good, that's a good band." He was commenting on the sound of the Ute Band. I told him my Dad said he'd play the Drums, Flute or Saxaphone when he's older. This part is hilarious. "I want to play the Sexaphone." Mommy and Daddy; "Saxaphone." My son says again; "Sexaphone", he was really trying to say Saxaphone. Then Robert said; "Just say Sax." Christopher said; "Sex." I was laughing really hard, so was Robert.
Then we changed the subject and told him Mommy played the flute. "I'm going to play the Flute too."
"Open the door, me can't see! Don't shut my door! NO SHUT MY DOOR DADDY! Pweaaaaasssse?" Then within 2 minutes he was out cold, in parent's terms that means asleep. He was being naughty for his Daddy so Daddy shut his door.
Goodnight all! I'm so sad the Utes lost so bad today! But, we got to see an awesome part of the game!
Final score 35 ASU- 14 Utes :(, 5 turn overs!
