James, the Anti-Philo
In James (7 yrs. old) and Nolan's (5 yrs. old) Sunday School class today the teacher asked a question about the disciples to the kids. Nolan raised his hand. The teacher called on Nolan to answer the question. Before Nolan could speak James spoke up, "Why are you asking him? He doesn't know anything."

She's a gentle flower ain't she
I asked Heather, my wife, to do a favor for me...
Heather: Well, maybe I would if your asked me nicely!
Me: Didn't I say "will you" and "please"?
Heather: I don't know. I wasn't paying attention!

The first day of school for the Phillips family
Levi was left out
After dropping James off at the Elementary school and Nolan off at the Primary school Heather, Levi, and I headed home. When we got to the house we saw that Levi's (3 yrs. old) bottom lip was poked out and his eyes were full of tears. When Heather asked Levi what was wrong his lip started to quiver and he had the saddest look on his face. Then he answered through tears, "Dad forgot to take me to MY school".
James' favorite part of school
Heather: What was you favorite part of school?
James: I didn't have one!
Heather: There had to be one thing you liked.
James: Nope! No wait! I liked that on the bus ride home me and all of the other boys were pooting.
Nolan's teacher
There was not a specific story about Nolan, but you can only imagine what a joy it is to listen to him say his teachers name: Mrs Rinseburger. Winse-buh-guh

For the Phillips' Life is a Beach
Three stories from our day at the beach...
James gives gas advise:
Before we headed to the beach, we took the golf cart to the gas station to pick up a couple drinks. While I was inside a man drove up to the gas pump in the wrong direction. Instead of moving his car around, he just pulled the gas hose over the top of the car.
As he began pumping the gas, James stood up in the back of the golf cart and yelled to the man, "Sir, next time you should think about pulling your car in the other direction." The man just shook his head.
Nolan makes cakes:
We spent some time playing in the sand; we dug for sand fiddlers, buried Nolan up to his stomach, and used sand to make a mer-man (what the boys call a male mermaid) out of James. At one point Nolan approached Heather with a huge, flat, handful of wet sand.
"Look Mom I made a sweetie pie!"
"A what?"
"A sweetie pie!"
"I think you mean a mud pie."
"Nope."
"Why do you call it a sweetie pie?"
"Because I made it for you!"
A moon underwater
James was hit by a big wave. He came from under the water gasping for breath. Then he said, "That wave knocked my pants down, but it's ok only the crabs saw my butt!"
