Singing, Dancing and Flags everywhere!

*Caution bad words ahead*

Audrey is learning so much so fast. She has a new skill and that's singing. She loves to sing. When she hears songs on the radio, or on T.V. She start to sing...and dance. The dancing is so cute. She jumps up and down and spins round and round. She loves it and does it all the time at home. In the car she's restricted to singing but doesn't have any less fun. She'll make up words to sing about. She'll sing about people she knows. She'll also sing about objects she sees. Whenever we see someone towing a boat she sings about grandpa. But most of the time she sings about her favorite stuffed animals pinks and puppy.


Before the 4th of July Patrick and I spend time teaching Audrey what the American flag was. She actually caught on really fast and loved that she knew a new word. She was also excited that she was able to say it all the time because they are every where. At first the word sounded a lot like flag. But in the past few weeks she has gotten lazy with the word and it has turned into the F word.

On University Parkway (the main road between UVU and our apartment) is a huge auto mall. And in the center of the large mall is an incredibly ginormous American flag. Yesterday we were driving home from UVU when she saw the flag and started singing a song about the flag. It went something like this.

"F***,F***,F***,F***,F***,F***,F***,F***,F***"

Now please, try to imagine a very very sweet tune with the profane lyrics.

I've made it my mission to teach her how to say flag properly. But not too quickly, it's pretty funny.

Loves,
Elizabeth, Patrick and profane Audrey.

Buttons

Mom is working on a movie again. It's called "The Last Eagle Scout" or "The Last Boy Scout." I'm not too sure. It's set in the future, like 50 or 60 years from now. But, I really don't know too much about the story. All I really know is it's alot like George Orwell's 1984. (good book by the way).

Mom is the costume designer and the director, kels, wanted some buttons, or mom wanted some buttons made. Anyway, She asked if I would make some buttons for the movie. Here is what I came up with.

I lay no claim to the phrases, she gave me what she wanted them to say.

I made these two first. They are not my favorite but they work.


I thought that this was a good idea. I like it.

This is my favorite. Isn't he cute?



I thought this one was just fun and a good idea.


The lips make this one really cool.
