Happy Birthday to my Honey!

Pete's birthday was yesterday. He is 29! We had a fun day yesterday. I "slaved" all day on his fancy birthday dinner. (Going out was not an option) I made homemade chicken noodle soup with homemade broth and homemade noodles! Plus we had homemade french bread too! And caramello cookies. So yes my day was filled with baking. But this is one of Pete's favorite meals, so I was glad to do it. We were going have movie night after the kids went to bed but there just arent' any good flicks worth renting lately! So we ended up staying up and watching pieces of the olympics on NBC's website. All in all it was a good day! Happy Birthday Petey...I love ya lots!

Funnies from my kiddos

1/11 Ragan looking into James' mouth, " I can see your utensils!"
4/ 20/10 You know you need to watch what you say when your two year old (Dal) says, "Open the dang door mom!"
4/19/10 After eating a whole bowl of strawberries when I wasn't looking..."Ragan did you eat all of those strawberries?" "Yep cause I wanted lots of muscles...wanna see my guns!?...that's what we call muscles mom!"
4/18/10 Ragan "Last night was the bird's church night because I heard them singing!"
We were at Macey's our usual weekly grocery trip. The clerks always like to give the kids smarties when we check out. They hadn't eaten their lunch very well so I told them no thankyou. A minute or so went by and Ragan longingly looked up at me and said, "Mom smarties make everything better!"
A humbling yet proud mother moment: James witnessed some unkind words from me to Pete. He said to me "mommy, that wasn't very nice...you better repent or you will have black marks on your white clothes in heaven."
Ragan is obsessed with Scooby Doo lately and she says "Like wow!" preceeding everything that comes out of her mouth.
2/4/10 We were at Costco today and of course because of superbowl weekend they had endless samples. So we had ourselves a nice little "lunch." Well, when we got to the sample table with avacados, I asked Ragan if she wanted some (she loves abadacados!) And she said very pointedly, "No mom, that's not junk." Apparently we go to costco to sample "junk." I don't know where she got this idea, but it made me giggle! I love my sassy princess!
10/30/09 James " I have piece of my popcorn ball stuck in the back of my mouth" Mom "go take a drink, maybe it will help" James "Okay...(gets a drink)...it didn't work" Mom "I guess you'll just have to stick your finger back there and get it" " Okay but I don't want to have to go to the doctor and get stitches!"
10/22/09 Dallin's latest things to say are bless you after he sneezes and thankyou when we give him a kiss.
10/22/09 Ragan "I just love abadacados!" (avacados)
9/1/09 Ragan "I just bless-you'd!"
8/31/09 We have a new rule that we can only have treats and desserts on Monday nights for family nights. We've been doing it for a little over a month now, and the kids are getting used to it. James just said to me, (when we were talking about family night treat) "We only can rotten our teeth this day, right?"
8/31/09 James was asking why this and why that etc. until I was getting a little annoyed! So I said "Why do you ask so many questions!" James "Well...because I like to talk to you mom." (my heart melted :( )
8/25/09 James " Hey mom, did you know that when we drink lots of milk it makes our bones white?" Ragan "ya and when we eat strawberries our blood is red and when we eat blueberries our blood is blue!"
8/25/09 Ragan "Mom, your beautiful" Mom "you are too Ragan. You know what makes you beautiful, your fun personality etc... Ragan "ya and not my bad-alities and mean-alities...you know mean-alities is when I hit!
8/13/09 When we were putting the kids to bed tonight, I realized I had forgotten to wash Ragan's quilt, so I asked Pete to get her a blanket. He brought her her tinkerbell blanket and said how about this one? Ragan said, no that one's dirty too. Pete said no, we just washed it. Ragan's reply was, "well I wiped my boogers on it last year!"
Dallin's favorite words: dip-ips = chips, hos=horse, tose=toast, mine (everything is "mine")
6/26/09 Pete was asked to go on splits with the missionaries. James asked Pete, "What does splits mean?" After a long, very informative explanation from Pete, James said, "Oh okay...what does all than mean?!"
Ragan 6/21/09 We were at Pete's parents' house. Ragan was playing with their dog, when all of a sudden she said, "Sampson lick-ed my flip off finger!" After giggling a little I replied, "And who told you about your flip off finger!?"
Pete was teasing James the other day pretending that he was pushing him down the stairs with the laundry basket. James escaped and then said, "Dad! You scared the crap out of me!" (Pete and I must say crap a lot! It sounds so much worse coming out of our kids' mouths.)
Ragan (a few months ago) Pete took the kids to shopko. They were waiting in line when Ragan saw a lady with a whole bunch of rubbermade tubs. Ragan pointed and said, "Holy..Moly..Crap! She's got a lot of boxes!"
