Favorite Picture

This is one of my recent favorite pics of Carter...just thought I would share it since he is so cute! ;)

Spooktacular October!

Some pics from the last week or so...

Why did Jesus only give us one!?

I want to try to remember all the cute things my kids say. So I am going to try to post something at least once a week so I don't forget.

Today driving in the car Brady and I were talking about babies because we had just babysat for my sister and had her little one over the night before. Brady was insisting that he wanted a little sister and then he asked why we didn't have one. I told him that Heavenly Father gives us what he thinks will be the best for our family and that he and baby Carter are who Heavenly Father decided should be a part of our family right now. Then he got really mad and said "why didn't Jesus give us two babies? I wanted two babies, just like our neighbors!" I sort of laughed (my neighbor has twins) and said "well I guess Heavenly Father knew what we could handle." He didn't want to drop the conversation so he again insisted that he get a baby sister....I told him that dad and I would have to talk about that. And in Brady fashion he says "But dad doesn't know, only Jesus knows! it is not up to dad!" So in time, if and when we have another baby....if it is a boy or isn't twins...we are in BIG trouble!

Brady is such a good big brother and he is so protective of Carter, he would never trade him for twins or a girl and neither would I!

This Week's Favorite Brady Quote

I walked into the daycare to pick up Brady the other day and they were practicing getting under the tables in case of an earthquake.....so as we are walking out I ask Brady what he would do in case of a fire (if he was on fire) and he says

"Stop! Rock n' Roll!"

Well he may burn to death, but at least he will have fun doing it!

Cornbelly Adventure and Halloween Fun

Today we took Brady and Carter to Cornbelly's at Thanksgiving Point. Chris's sister Elise came with us. It was fun for Brady, but Carter was really not interested as you can tell.

Our porch has been invaded by a GIANT spider! We usually don't decorate much for Halloween, but we got into it a little more this year. Carter has a hard time leaving the pumpkins alone and is always picking them up and moving them around. We will see if they survive until Halloween. Our adorable twin neighbor boys came over to show us their costumes, aren't they cute?!

What was I thinking??!!

So I finally got my hair cut off because it was in dire need and I finally got my eyebrows waxed for the first time! So I am thinking, WHAT TOOK ME SO LONG? I can't believe that I waited until I was 29 years old to get my eyebrows waxed, what a nerd was I?? I love the new look! It is always humorous when the girl doing the waxing says "I love eyebrow virgins!"

Miracles DO happen!

For those that read my previous post about Froggy....here is an EXCITING update. I called Tai Pan this morning to see if he happened to get turned into lost and found since yesterday and sure enough...he had! So all is right in the world once again! Welcome Back Froggy!!

Goodbye Froggy

So today I decided to venture out in search of nothing, really.....ended up at Tai Pan (HUGE store). Anyway, I am getting Carter out of the car and he is insisting that he bring binky and froggy. I really hadn't wanted to and tried my best to convince him to leave froggy in the car, but finally decided it wasn't a big deal. We do our shopping and I get to the check out and look at Carter and ask Brady if Carter had frog with him when we came in...he says, "I don't know." So we get to the car and I frantically look for him thinking maybe I did leave him in the car....nope. So we head back in the store, ask the nice lady at the front if she has seen him and then begin retracing our steps...nothing. Froggy hadn't been turned into customer service yet (or ever) so they will call us if he is.....

It is always hard losing a loved one, and thus far....Carter has refused the multiple other stuffed animals that I have tried for nap time and is therefore in his crib crying and not sleeping...It's going to be a long weekend....:(

You were a good friend Froggy, we will miss you!

Politics from a 4 year old

While watching the presidential debate and the topic of tax credits came up Brady says "Tax Credits?!" I don't want any tax credits! That guy is crazy!".....made me laugh.

Men!

Chris had been complaining for 2 days that his tires seemed to be getting low. So yesterday I get a text from him while at work about this:

Chris "I need 2 new tires"
Me "Ok"
Chris "but I can't have 2 new tires and 2 old tires...they need to match."
Me "whatever.."

I get home that night, take a look at the 4 beautiful new tires on his truck.....

Me "your truck seems a little bigger all of a sudden...hmm"

Chris "yeah" :)

He of course had to get "BIGGER" tires, not to mention the price tag of this purchase....

When I pulled out the 2 lamps I had bought that day and we had a conversation about it:

Chris "we only needed 1 lamp"

Me "yeah, but I can't have 1 new lamp and 1 old lamp....they have to match!"

Conversation over! :)
