Snow!

When we got home from Boise this last weekend we had snow here in Utah! The kids could not wait to go out and play! Carlee was giggling so hard the whole time. It was so cold, only 25 degrees, but they didn't care!

Airplane

Me and the kids flew to Boise for my parents coming home. They have both flown before, but didn't really remember it. They were so excited! They had a great time looking out the window. After, Carlee kept saying, "Mom, I didn't even cry on the airplane!!"

She wasn't sure at first, then she moved to the middle seat and felt better about it!

Welcome Home!!!!!!

This last weekend my parents came home from thier mission. They were gone for 18 months! We were so excited for them to come home! All of the kids were there except my little brother, Devan, who is on his mission. I made matching t-shirts for all the kids and grandkids. (Phil says that I am t-shirt happy.)

My mom had made little candy leis for the grandkids, which were a total hit!

Holding Baby Melody and Baby Grayson who were born while she was gone.

Carlee and Baby Melody, the only grand daughters. (11 boys)

The kids were so cute waiting at the door for them to come. It was so emotional to see them walk around the corner.

Pheasant Hunt

Last week Phil went on a pheasant hunt to Winner, South Dakota. Codale Electrical Supply took him and a few other guys that he works with. They left early Monday morning and got home Friday night. He had a great time killing God's innocent creatures. :) And....even brought home and stuck it in the freezer to be stuffed! It will look great in your office, honey!

We missed him while he was gone and glad he got home safe!
Love ya!

Cousin Trip!

My sister, Kassie and her three kids have been staying with us for the last week while their daddy is out of town. Kassie had surgery a few weeks ago and needed help with her kids. It was a good week for them to come because Phil was out of town too. We have mostly stayed home and hung out, but we have had so much fun!

Relaxing before bed with their bedtime snack of popcorn.

Buddies!

Since Bodie is usually the ringleader, they dress up all day long.

When Phil came home, the kids were all over him. Fighting for his attention.

Birthday Girl!

Like most parents, I don't where the time has gone! My baby girl is three years old! She is such a sweet little girl and we are so thankful to have her in our family! She LOVES her daddy and brother, Bodie. They play for hours on end. She love art, singing, dancing, dolls, Dora, playing rescue with Bodie. She is very independent and can do everything herself!

Happy Birthday, Carlee Jean!!

Say what?

Sept. 10
Kassie was nursing baby Grayson and Bodie saw her. "Kassie, is that really necessary?"
Aug. 3
I was heading home with my kids. They were fighting like crazy. Carlee kept bugging Bodie. I told her if she didn't stop I would give her a spanking. Of course, she didn't. We were at a stop light so I smacked her leg. She goes, "Ha ha! Didn't hurt." So I did it again. "Didn't hurt!" I had to turn around not to let her see me laugh. Then Bodie yells, "Mom! Stop this car and spank her hard!!"
July 22
We were hanging out after dinner. Bodie and Carlee were playing fireman. Bodie always makes up "emergencies" that they go to. He was telling Phil and I about one. (He is in such a cute stage right now where when he is telling us about something he goes on and on and on and on.) This was what was he was doing. He was telling us how high the fire was, but then he said something about 4500 legs. I said there were 4500 legs in the fire? Phil starts laughing and tells me that that's how he was measuring the fire. Not with "feet", but with "legs"!
July 22
We went swimming with Phil's cousin who are visiting from Florida. I was taking them home and Bodie wanted to know why they always go to Susan's house. They told him that she was their step mom. After they got out of the car I decided to explain to Bodie a little better. I told him that sometimes moms and dads don't live together, but they are still your mom and dad. Then I told him that Uncle Mark was the boys' dad, but they lived in Florida with thier real mom. Bodie seemed fine with my explanation. But a few minutes later he had a question:
"Are you my real mom?"
July 21
Bodie and I were snuggling talking about the new school year. I told him he couldn't grow up. He pulled my head and whispered in my ear:
"I will still be your baby!"
July 14
When we were in Yellowstone, Carlee was playing with Phil's dad. She stopped and looked at him:
"Grandpa! You have green teeth!" It was so funny. He was convinced he needed to start bleaching.
June 19
I was babysitting my sister's kids so she could go do her glucose test for her pregnancy. As she was leaving Bodie yelled to her, "Kassie, have fun getting your blood taken out!"
June 18
I was planting my garden and Bodie and Carlee were "helping" me. After we got done...
Bodie: "Mom, planting a garden is not as fun as I thought it would be."
June 16
My (pregnant) sister Kassie was at my house. She stood up and I told her that her boobs looked huge. She said, "I am huge! I'm a freakin'....." she paused.
Bodie piped in:"fattty!"
June 9
On Sesame Street they remade the Bob Dylan Song, "Blowin' in the Wind" to say something about counting pigs. Phil and Bodie were driving in his truck. Phil put the real version of the song on for Bodie. He just sat there and listened to it intently. After it was over Bodie said:
"Dad, why are the ants our friends?"
(The answer my friends, is blowin in the wind.....)
June 5
I asked Carlee where she lived. Her reply:
"Lehi, Tootah."
June 2
I was at Girl's Camp for a week. I was talking to Carlee on the phone while I was there. After she got off the phone she said:
"My Mom is in top of a mountain. She might fall off!" It made me sad that that was what she was imaging me on top of a mountain.
May 28
Phil was leaving for work and the kids were yelling bye to him. Bodie: "Don't worry, Dad,I will take care of the womans!"
May 21
Carlee went to the bathroom. She is a "big" girl, so she has to do it all by herself! When she came back I asked if she wiped. Her reply: "No, but that's okay though. I do it next time, okay?"
May 13
I was in my bathroom tweezing my eyebrows. Bodie and Carlee come in and needed me to do them a favor. I told them to hold on for a second. Bodie was annoyed that I was busy. "Mom!! Why are you picking you eyebrows out?" He was so disgusted with me.
May 12
Bodie: "Mom, I really want you to be cool.....but your not."
May 7
Bodie and I were outside admiring the flowers we had planted. I said, "They are so dang pretty!" Bodie replied:
"They look so damn good!"
I start laughing and then tell him that there are some words that are not good to say. (I knew he heard it from me) And sometimes Mommy has a hard time with saying bad words and I need him to tell me not to say them. Bodie stopped and said, "Sometimes I have a hard time too."
April 29
I had just gotten dressed for the day (jeans and t-shirt). We were going to the park with Kassie and her kids. Carlee says, "Mom, you look so beautiful!" Bodie says, "Yah, wear that to the park today. Kassie will think you look sexy!"
April 28
We were out to lunch with Lorraine, my mother-in-law. Carlee was telling Lorraine about her teacher. She told her she was so pretty. So Lorraine asked Bodie if his teacher was pretty. Carlee answered for Bodie, "Yes!" Bodie's response:
"She is not! She never wears bows in her hair!" I guess I should start wearing bows.....
April 26
Bodie ate four hard boiled eggs. I told him he was going to turn into a chicken if he kept eating eggs. Right after I asked him a question. His reply: "Bock, bock!"
April 25
I was watching my sister, Katie's kids for a couple days. She came to pick them up. She asked Bodie if he had fun with Gavin.
Bodie: "Well, actually, we had a little bit of an accident. Gavin didn't listen to my mom."
We cracked up.
April 15
Bodie and I are laying in bed watching a movie. He turns to me and says: "Mom, you don't smell very good. You should take a shower." I start laughing and he says, "Mom, you really should!" Love his honesty!!
March 25
Bodie was trying to decide what he wanted to drink, and this is what he said to me:
Bodie: "When I feel milkish, it means I want milk. When I feel applish, it means I want apple juice. When I feel orangish, it means I want orange juice. When I feel waterly, it means I want water."
March 22
We were in our RV. The kids and I had just woke up. Phil was still asleep snoring.
Carlee: "Dad sleeps like pig."
March 17
Bodie, his friend, and Carlee were playing out in the backyard. I was in the shower. Bodie comes running in the house, rips open the shower curtain.
Bodie: "Mom, my sister made a bad decision"
Me: "What did she do?"
Bodie: "She is throwing sand out of the sandbox."
Me: "O.K., tell her not to."
Bodie: "O.K."
Bodie is such a rule follower. I love it!
March 11
It was Bodie's birthday.
Bodie: "Mom, I can't believe I am four years old!"
