Carter

I always think that I will remember cute things that my kiddos say, but rarely do. Lately I have been writing them down.

Here are some of Carter's latest sayings:

Mom: "Carter, you are a smarty pants!"
Carter: "No I'm not."
Mom: "Mommy thinks you are."
Carter: "Carter thinks I'm Carter!"


"Mommies have dirl (girl) babies and Daddys have boy babies"


Troy: "Carter, do you want me to help you with that?" (Turning on the TV with the remote)
Carter: "No, I'm fine."
Troy: "You know how to do it?" (Acting shocked)
Carter: "Yeah. I can do it. Troy, I can also color."
Troy: "You can!" (Acting totally shocked)
Carter: "Yep"
Troy: "Good job Carter!"

If Carter is wearing a long sleeve shirt and I go to put a coat on him, he will hurry and pull away from me and say "Do you want me to have the best popcorn?" (what that means I will never know) I will respond with "yes" and then he will say "Then I have to do this." (He will then pull his sleeves down and hold them while I put on his coat.)

Mom: "Carter, Avery is coming over to play."
Carter: "Is she the little girl that has a bum bum on her pee pee?"
Mom: "WHAT?"

(It took me forever to figure out what he was talking about. The last time Kelly and Avery were over, Kel took her to the potty and I guess Carter had followed her in there and watched. Since we only have boy babies in this family, that is all he has seen. So when he saw Avery he didn't know what to think. Things are going to change when his sister arrives.)

I love little kids and all the funny things they say!

Valentines Weekend!

My Valentines weekend started out on Friday afternoon with my four favorite Valentines surprising me with flowers! I got a dozen red roses and a dozen white tulips. So pretty! Later on, Tanner (my tender heart) got all dressed up and took a single red rose and a card over to my mom. My mom's eyes filled up with tears. Tanner is such a sweetheart and is going to make the BEST husband someday. He is always doing little things like this on his own.

That evening we got to babysit my sweet little nephew, Bentley. He was so much fun. Tanner got to be the big helper that evening and feed him his bottle while Troy and Carter helped me feed him his cereal. We love you Bentley!



Saturday morning, Clint surprised us with breakfast in bed. Quite the surprise, he is usually the one who sleeps in. Thanks hun! My sweet mother-in-law watched the kids for us that afternoon while we went out to dinner. Outback=Yummy!

The rest of the evening we delivered all of our Valentines and then watched my cute kids excitedly run to the door to get theirs. They once again were spoiled by my parents and my brother and sister-in-laws and their cousins! Thanks Guys!

Clint did our Valentines shopping for the boys and got them their own pair of Four-wheeling pants! They are the cutest things ever.


All in all we had a great weekend!
Happy Valentines Day!

Ten Honest things about me....

1. I LOVE my family more than anything! (Troy is sitting here with me and I just asked him tell me something about me. He says: "You're pretty, You're nice, and I love you." Who wouldn't love to have kids to hear those responses!)

2. No matter how warm it is, I have to sleep with a blanket. I also love wearing socks to bed.

3. I love finding good deals!! When I walk into a store, I always looks for their clearance section. Sometimes I find myself buying things just because it is a good deal. I think I am alot like my great grandma that way. She had a room full of stuff that she would find good deals on.

4. I love being able to stay home with my kids, however I look forward to my date night or my girls night out!

5. I am scared for my kids to get any older. There are so many bad things in the world: drugs, alcohol, peer pressure, sex, abuse. I don't want my kids to have to deal with any of it. Can't their stay younger and innocent forever.

6. After three boys, I am a little scared to have a girl. Life around here is about to change! What is life going to be like with 4 kids?

7. I LOVE cookies!

8. I love to blog! If I had a better camera, I would be taking lots of pictures and posting all the time. Good thing I don't huh?

9. I met Clint when I was in high school. We worked together at good ol' RC Willey. We dated for three years before getting married and will be married 10 years this May! I lOVE Him!

10. I am having a hard time believing that I am going to be 30 this year! Can I really be that old?

I tag: Wendy, Emily, Martha, Adri, Angie, Steph, DeAnn
Good Luck Guys and Congrats!

Yesterday, my boys wanted to go snowboarding/sledding at the park across from our house. Even though the hill only has about a 15 ft. stretch of snow left, they still had a blast! I loved watching them giggle as they went down the hill.
The weather was perfect! I am soooo ready for the warmer weather.

I kept catching Carter eating the snow. YUCK!
