Happy New Year from my family to yours! Welcome to 2009!
Here are some fun pictures taken of the boys while we were in California during Christmas. For those of you who live in cold, brown and white wintery places like I do…let me point out to you that those trees in the background are GREEN. Yes, in December.
This is one of my favorites of the boys. However we had already taken big family pictures, small family pictures AND cousin pictures…so by the time we started taking brother pictures, Elias decided he was done. Done I tell you. Grr.
At least Elias is looking at the camera in this one…
but Justus got distracted by now. Still cute.
Okay, enough seriousness. Everyone be silly now.
Elias is still trying very hard to NOT smile. Stinker.
More silliness…
I’ll show you more of our family pictures soon. In the meantime…the boys have a little something more to share with you to help you “brick” in the new year…
Matt and the boys enjoy making up their own jokes. One night recently as Matt was tucking the boys into bed, one of them asked if they could make up a few jokes. He agreed and asked Elias to give him a word…any word. And Elias said:
“Brick”
So Daddy and the boys decided to make up some Brick Jokes. Because…you know…there’s really not anything that is funnier than a brick. Am I right? ;)
The next morning they came down and started telling me their wonderful collection of brick jokes. Wow. I was impressed. (Okay, some of them are funnier than others.)
Here are a couple of my favorites:
What do you get when you throw a brick at a chicken?
Bricken Nuggets
What’s a mason’s favorite meal?
Well, Brickfast of course
A mason’s favorite veggie?
Yes, you guessed it…brickoli
Is there no end to all the ways you can make the word “brick” into a joke? Apparently not. They kept coming up with more and more.
So here…for you and whoever else you’d like to spend time telling “Brick Jokes” to is a downloadable copy of Coppinger Boy Original Brick Jokes.
Have fun and Happy New Year!!!
That’s really cute. I can just see those boys having fun with their daddy. I love the pictures too. They really seem to show the different personalities of your boys. I wish I could meet them! It’s fun looking back on baby traits of my little brothers and seeing how telling they were of their personalities today. It makes me wonder what this little person, stretching and wiggling in the womb, will be like.
What a beautiful family!
Great job!
I read them to my boys! ;-)
They tried to keep the ball rolling (lol):
What do you call it when one brick kills another brick? mor-(d)tar
What did Bricktopher Twist say to his schoolmaster? May I have some mortar?
What do you get when you mix a yorkie with a brick? A brickshire terrier
What do you get when you throw a brick through a window? a bricken window
They continued for the next half hour……..
Thanks Coppinger boys, for all the fun!
My 5 year-old boy enjoyed these jokes. He is really funny too. I love having little boys- they are so clever :)
oh that made me laugh…thanks for sharing
Laura this kind of a personal question but how did you decide to have the four kids? I now have three and am having trouble making a decision on the the fourth. I’ve gotten a lot of negative feedback and it makes me so lost, when did the world get so negative about children? Thanks angie
