Quote of the Month

...for Jan '14

I told the kids that we were planning a trip to Brian Head to go tubing. Drew and Garrett got excited and said, "I love tubing!"

Then Lyndy got excited and said, "I love tooting!"

...for Jan '14

Our friends invited us to their house for a backyard bonfire. When Lyndy saw the sparks of the fire flying up into the sky she said, "Look at those fire bees!"

...for Nov '14

Words of wisdom from Lyndy: "It's fun to bite people, but we can't do it."

...for Aug '14

Lyndy discovered Veggie Tales one Sunday when she wanted to watch TV. That day she fell asleep in the car on the way home from church and as I carried her upstairs to put her in bed, she sleepily said to me, "The tomato's name is Bob," and then went right back to sleep.

...for Mar '14

Lyndy wakes up every day and takes her pajamas off in her crib. Her room is always freezing in the morning. You could hang meat in there. One morning I said to her, "Please don't take your jammies off when you wake up. It's too cold." She said, "I had to take my jammies off to see if there was a bug in my belly button."

...for Feb '14

Lyndy was eating something chocolatey at Target and said to me, "I like chocolate. It makes me feel happy!" I swear I've never said that to her before, even though chocolate makes me feel happy too!

...for Dec '12

Cody does this thing that his dad used to do to him when he was little. He asks one of the boys, "Have you ever seen a turkey peek over a log?" Then when they say no, he grabs a clump of hair on the back of their neck and pulls it up. I know, it's weird. One day Garrett decided to turn the tables on Cody, so he asked him, "Dad, have you ever seen a chicken pee over a log?" Cody was laughing so hard, Garrett could have easily pulled a clump of hair on the back of his neck...if only Cody had some hair to pull:)

...for March '12

My boys don't seem to like their P.E. teacher very much. I thought that would be their favorite class, so I asked Drew why he doesn't like P.E. and he told me, "Because Coach Gravely just watches us get tired." Oh...

...for June '11

Aiden is famous for asking random questions. Tonight he asked me, "What do you think would happen if you put chapstick on a lizard?"

...for April '10

It's starting to get a little hot in our house at night. Aiden came into my room a few nights ago mumbling and running his hands through his sweaty hair. He said, "I'm sweating like a muckdog." I wasn't sure I heard him right. I said, "You're sweating like a muckdog?" He said, "Yeah. What's a muckdog?" I just laughed. Then he said, "My room is so hot, you could bake a pie in my bed." I turned up the air and laughed myself to sleep.

...for December '09

While we were at Grandma's house for Christmas, Garrett was having a twin identity crisis. Every time he would come into a room he would say, "Hi, it's me, Garrett." One day he came into the kitchen and sat down next to Drew. He said to Grandma, "Hi Grandma. It's me, Garrett." Grandma said, "Hi Garrett. Why do you and Drew look alike?" He looked Drew up and down and then looked at himself and said, "Because we have the same shirts."

...for November '09

Garrett was outside riding a razor scooter. After about thirty minutes of nonstop scootering he said to me, "Mommy, my legs hurt." I said, "Are they tired?" He replied, "Yeah, they need a nap."

...for April '09

I did some Spring cleaning in Parks and Aiden's room. It must have looked really good because Aiden said, "Mom, did you used to be a professional maid? Because you really know how to clean." I had to laugh. I told him the only difference between me and a professional maid is that a maid gets paid and I don't.

...for March '09

Drew has been sick this weekend. He's had a really high fever and has felt really crummy. Garrett said to me yesterday, "Mom, I need to be a doctor when I get big." I said, "A doctor is a good thing to be. You can help sick kids." He said, "I need to make Drew feel better." Isn't that sweet? Since he said that, I've been letting him help me take care of Drew. We call him Dr. Garrett. I said today, "Drew has a fever. What should we do Dr. Garrett?" He thought about it for a second."Get some ice!" Maybe he really will be a doctor;)

...for March '09

I was washing Garrett's hands off with a warm washcloth and he told me it was too hot. I told him, "It's not hot. You're a loon." He said, "I'm not a yoon (he still says his L's like Y's), I'm an angel." Cody said, "Who told you that you are an angel?" He said, "Myself."

...for January '09

Garrett told me on the way to church a couple of weeks ago, "Mom, you're my girl."

...also for Jan '09

I was begging for kisses from Drew one day (I'm shameless, I do it all the time) and I was saying, "Give me a kiss." The kiss was granted. "Give me a hug." The hug was given. Then Parks pipes up from the kitchen table, "Give me screaming monkeys!" I didn't even know he was listening to my private conversation with Drew. It was classic Parks. Aiden and I were laughing so hard that I knocked a glass bowl out of the cupboard and it shattered into a million pieces.

...for December '08

I was discussing the concept of a stocking with Garrett.

G: Mom, wook at dose socks (pointing to the stockings hanging on the mantel.)

Me: Those aren't socks, they are stockings.

G: I wanna wear that one.

Me: We don't wear them. Santa fills them with goodies.

G turns to D and says: Santa fills the stockings with footies!

...for November '08

Grandma Noble made the kids helium balloons at her house one day. She tied them to their wrists, and Drew said, "My balloon is following me!" The next day when he woke up and saw his balloon wasn't floating anymore, he said, "My balloon is dead!"

...for October '08

One day when Parks walked into a room full of sweaty boys he said, "It smells like dog kisses in here."

...for October '08

Drew was standing in the kitchen today with his baby and his wooshee looking so cherubic and he says to me with his thumb hanging halfway out of his mouth, "Mommy, do you wuv me?" So of course I scooped him up and kissed the daylights out of him!

...for August '08

Aiden was reading Buzz, Buzz, Busy Bees to the twins and Garrett pointed to a yellow ladybug and said, "A yeyyow yadybug, yay!"

...for June '08

The last time Parks was sick, he said to me, "Mom, I feel like I swallowed a giant frog and it's jumping around inside my tummy."

A Special Day for Aiden

This is Aiden's first picture as a genuine priesthood holder. He received the Aaronic priesthood from his dad and was ordained to the office of a Deacon on Sunday, October 9, 2011. He bore his testimony in sacrament meeting and I am so proud of him. I know his Heavenly Father is proud of him too. Right after I took this picture of him, he left to collect fast offerings; his very first priesthood duty!

Love Notes

Garrett is loving first grade. He has been doing a lot of writing lately. Yesterday he sent me two notes. The first one is cute, but the second one had me laughing and crying at the same time. I told him it was the best note I've ever gotten. Here they are:

I love Mom because she is so nis (nice) to me and she givse me food so I love Mom. I thek (think) she is awsume! Is she nis to other people? Yes she is.

Mom is beuoodfle (beautiful) and she is cool! Can she run rley (really) fast? No she can't because she has a baby in her tumy. Can she walk? Yes she can. Can she bend ovr (over)? No she can not because she has a baby in her tumy.

3 Birthdays In One

We celebrated Garrett's, Drew's, and Aiden's Birthdays in Veyo last weekend by renting the old Veyo skating rink. They had a blast with their Dempsey cousins and Uncle Jess (Yes, that's him on the front of the train...sorry I cut your head off Jess!)

My handsome oldest son Aiden. I can't believe he's going to be 12! Where does the time go?

The three Birthday Boys: Drew and Garrett, (who turned 6) and Aiden.

Aunt Shannon took a little spill.

Drew is a good little skater.

Parks was a good sport. It's hard to be the only non-birthday boy.

Here is a cute picture of Garrett. For some reason, my blog thinks it needs to be vertical. I'm putting it on anyway.

First Day of School 2011

My boys had their first week of school last week. This is their first year at a new charter school called Somerset Academy. We are SOOO excited about this school! The class sizes are small, the teachers are awesome, and it's K-7 so all my kids can be at the same school. (Parks was having some clothing issues, so he is a little upset in this pic).

Aiden started 6th grade.

Drew is in Mrs. Causby's 1st grade class.

Garrett is in Mrs. Reed's first grade class.

And Parks has Mrs. Notaro for 4th grade this year. So far, the first week was awesome. All the boys came home happy every day once the crazy after school pick-up was worked out.

Lake Powell 2011

We spent the first week of August in Lake Powell with Cody's family.

Dayton, Parks, and Aiden.

Garrett and Drew

A ride on a wave runner with Daddy.

The kids spent most of their time in the water. They only got out to eat and jump off the top of the houseboat. Here goes Aiden.

Even little Drew jumped!

Cody can do a beautiful swan dive.

Parks and Aiden

All the kids. Back row L to R: Aiden, Noah, Tieler, Chelsey, Parks, Dayton

Front row L to R: Drew, Garrett, Gage, Charity, Allie, Camden

Grandma's Birthday

We spent the day with Grandma on her birthday. We went to the town square to play in the water.

L to R: Libby, McKayl, Aiden, Emma, Parks, Sawyer

Then we rode the new carousel.

There's the Birthday Girl. She's gonna kill me for posting this picture. The day after we rode the carousel, a 65-year-old lady was riding it and had to go to the hospital because a panel from the roof hit her in the head. We're glad that didn't happen to any of us!
