1. He's my FMHNITWWW
2. Brandon's Awesome!
3. He's not as old as I am.
4. He let's me visit and "mooch" off of him whenever I want too
5. He planned the entire "Snedaker Amazing Race"
6. He's Awesome!
7. He is the smartest person I know
8. He is constantly trying to hook me up on dates
9. His kids are the cutest (not like the other kids in the family)
10. Again...He's awesome!

Who wouldn't love this guy?

More Kid Quotes

I had called Owen to wish him a Happy Birthday and after awhile talking he finally said: "Could we get over with this?"
Apparently he was getting a little tired talking to me after he had already talked to Grandma Snedaker and Ty! I'll remember that on my birthday...

Me talking to Alyssa after she rock climbed:
-Me: You did AWESOME!
-Alyssa: I guess I just have talent!

Kennedy talking to Logan at his soccer game while they were on a break. Kennedy walked over to Logan and put her arm around and said "Just keep trying, don't give up" as she was patting him on the back. It was the sweetest thing ever!

When I was in Seattle for Owen's Baptism I showed Owen and Sadie how to text on my phone. Well I told him he could text Corbin, Grandpa and Ty. Well he started texting everyone and if he sent a text and that person didn't text him back he would send another one that said "Please Respond". He ending up texting a guy that I work with so at that point I had to tell him he can only text people with the same last name as him.

Owen to Diane: Can I use your phone to communicate with others again?

Owen talking to Brigett: "Well I think you know I didn't drown or I wouldn't be talking to you right now!"

Grandma called me with a funny story. She was telling me how lately Maxten always says things are his favorite and when she was watching him today he was saying that Ty was his favorite, so at dinner they had the following discussion:

Maxten: Yes, it's Spanish!

Maxten: We got a new tree. But it doesn't grow money.

Maxten was asking me about knuckles, while looking at cardboard Ty and we were talking about broken bones...
Diane: If you break a bone like your arm, the doctor will put a cast or something on your arm to hold it still. Then the bone starts to grow back together to fix it.
Maxten: Pauses for a minute and then looks straight at me and says "I don't believe you!" (April 2012)

Later that afternoon during quiet (or not so quiet time)...
Maxten: How do you know so much about bones?
Diane: I'm going to school to learn about all kinds of things.
Maxten: Like bones and skateboards?? (April 2012)
