Lydia's Intuition

"I talked to Heavenly Father about a prayer and I asked if it was a baby girl and he said yes!"

My Little Linus...

Fun at the Pool

Jana and Rachel's apartment has a very nice pool, so we've been having lots of fun swimming this summer...

Carter had a great time with his goggles.  I had to keep "accidentally" dropping toys into the pool so that he could retrieve them for me.  He also told me that he and Raeleigh waved at each other under water and "it was like they were having a conversation UNDER WATER!"  Pretty cool.

 Lydia and Meleah loved to kick around the pool in their little floaties.  Meleah kept herself entertained by switching from the green star, to the blue star, to the green circle, to the yellow lifejacket, to the blue boat...

Grandma spent most of her time taking care of babies, whether she was in the pool or not.  Gotta love Grandma!

We spent hours and hours in the pool during the week that my mom was here and my back got totally FRIED.  It's 50 spf for me from now on.  Meleah and Carter got a little burnt too, even with the 50.  Who knew you had to reapply if you're going to be swimming for 5 hours?! 

Proud Mommy Moment

One of my kids apparently cleaned up a mess they'd made without me even asking them to!!!

A Little Announcement...

Vegas, Baby!

My kids were reminiscing about our trip to Las Vegas last Thanksgiving...

Meleah - "I throwed up in Las Begas!"

Lydia -  "Yeah, and I throwed up on the sidewalk!"

Carter - "I threw up in Lost Vegas too.  It splashed ALL OVER the bathroom floor!"  

Good Times

Human Digestion

On the way home from my sister's house at 10:30 pm...

Carter:  I'm sooo hungry Mom.  Can I please have something to eat?

Mom:  I don't have anything for you to eat.

Carter:  But I'm so hungry and if I don't eat something I could DIE!

Mom:  You're not going to die Carter, you've been eating all night.

Carter:  Yes huh, I'll digest myself!

Mom:  You can't digest yourself.

Carter:  Uh huh!  One time my stomache growled really loud and it hurt and I digested myself!

Mom:  Well, you've had plenty to eat today and it's bedtime when we get home.

Carter:  You don't take care of me, Mom!  You don't even care about your oldest son!
