Oh Thanks Troy!

Troy: (very innocently says to me) "Mom, You're not the meanest mom in the world."
Me: "I'm not?"
Troy: "Nope, the Devil's kids' mom is meaner."

One week later we had this conversation:

Me: "Hey Troy, Jessica and Tristin are going to babysit you this week"
Troy: "They are!!!!!! Yay!!!!!!! Where are you going?"
Me: "Me and daddy are going to a seminar on how to be better parents."
Troy: (very puzzled) "There are better parents than you?!?!?"

At least I am getting better in his book instead of worst. That's all I can ask for:)

Troy's 1st Day of School

Isn't he just the cutest ever?

I can't believe that my little boy is old enough to be in Kindergarten already. Didn't I just have him a couple of months ago?!?! He just can't be in school yet. Carter and I are going to miss him while he is gone. Good thing we have Blakley to entertain us:)

Troy was a little nervous to go to school today. Good thing his neighborhood friend Rachel is in his class. Having her to walk into school with seem to make everything OK!

3 Months Old

Blakley is 3 months old today! Where did the time go? She has seriously been such a blessing in our family's life. Everyone loves her and just can't seem to get enough of her. I thought the newness of having a baby around would have worn out by now, Boy was I ever wrong.

At 3 months Blakley:
is smiling like crazy
is reaching for the toys hanging from her carseat
can roll from her tummy to her back
loves to carry on conversations with whoever will listen
is sleeping 7-8 hours at night, eats and then right back to bed
loves her bath time (splashing is her thing)
loves her big brothers
is definitely a mommy's girl (only cause mommy=food) but loves her daddy to hold her
loves a blanket near her face when she tries to go to sleep
is wearing 3-6 months clothing
loves her binkie
loves eating her hands



We love you so much Blakley and are so glad that you are in our family. We can't imagine our lives without you!

More Carter Quotes!

Carter: 'I love you!'
Daddy: 'I love you more!'
Carter: 'I love you moster!'


Mommy: "I love you."
Carter: "I love you more than a house."
". . . . . . . . more than Blakey's bum" (WHAT????)
". . . . . . . . more than the whole galaxy."


(When Blakley was crying)
Carter: "Grandma why don't you feed Blakley?"
Grandma Sue: "Because your mommy has too."
Carter: "Why?"
Grandma Sue: "Because I can't."
Carter: "Oh, is it because you have little boobies?'


Carter talking to Blakley: "Hello peanut butter cup"


Yesterday on his way to timeout (I know shocker) he yells: "I quit."
Troy: "What do you quit?"
Carter: "I quit this family!"


Carter getting out of the bath says: "Mommy, I love Daddy more than you."
Me: "You do, why?"
Carter: "Because he picks out my jammies for me and you make me pick out my own."


Oh Carter aka Captain Destructo we love you so!

Who says chunky isn't cute!

Tanner's letter to Nate

Back in November for Family Home Evening, we wrote letters to my cousin Nate. He is serving in Washington. We mailed him the letters but somehow Tanner's did not make it to the envelope that I sent. I ran across it today while I was cleaning my kitchen. I just had to copy what he wrote:

To Nate from Tanner
I'm so glad you are a missionry nate. you shoud be
the Prophit. I miss you so much nate.
you are so nise. are you having a fun
time? I'm tring to be like you evryday.
Do you miss me? You are the best cusen ever.
I love you nate.

The cute thing about this letter is he went up to his room to write it all by himself and was so proud when he was done. Good Job Tanner! I know that Nate will love it.

My little missionary!

Blakley's 1st. . . . . .

Today, Blakley had her very 1st bottle!!!! She was fed by her daddy and had her little cheerleaders right by her side the whole time.

YEAH FOR BLAKLEY!
So sweet-A daddy and his princess both tuckered out after such a big event.

Blakley's Blessing Day

Today, Blakley received the sweetest blessing from her daddy. Clint did an AWESOME job. Thanks babe. Blakley did good, too. We had the family over for a luncheon after, but our camera was dead and we didn't get one picture. YEAH for us losers! Lucky for me, I had these pictures taken last week.

She looked like such a princess in her blessing gown.
