Cheap Sunglasses...

We went to the beach Saturday for a family walk. The boys got to try

out their Dodger hats and sunglasses. Micah despised having anything restricting him in any way, so we took his sunglasses off. Noah was completely chill and let us put the sunglasses on him and the hat. He was just a cool little dude at the beach. Micah wore his Dodger hat with pride. What a couple

cute little guys. Can't wait to get them dressed up for their first Dodgers game!

Your boys are so cute! And the beach...I'm so jealous!!

Since this is my first comment on your blog I thought I would say a few things about previous posts! Your haircut is so cute! Really, is there any haircut that doesn't look good on you! (If we could all be so lucky!) Your table at dinner looks so delicious! Can I come over?? Seriously, I am still doing the "one course" menu thing and don't think my table has ever looked like yours at dinner! If it ever does, I'll send you pictures! :) I'm so impressed that you can find the time and have the energy to do that. Please share your secret (and the recipes)!! And the grocery store! I'm so glad you had that lady take your picture! So cute! By the way, where's your red plate?? I really love reading your blog! I can tell that through this wonderful thing called parenthood you have truly found joy!!

It is important to indoctrinate your children in the lore of the sports gods from a VERY YOUNG age. Just so you know, I only approve of Dodgers and BYU, but not the Lakers. I think I'll give your kids a Jazz t-shirt, or better yet, a Clippers t-shirt. Can't wait to hang out together in a cacophony of cooing kids; a plethora of pooping pediatric playing; a myriad or megacephalic midgets; a veritable volume of vomiting vampires (milk vampires).

A Favorite Quote:

INTERRUPTIONS

"When you are exasperated by interruptions, try to remember that their very frequency may indicate the value of your life. Only people who are full of help and strength are burdened by other persons' needs. The interruptions which we chafe at are the credentials of our indispensability. The greatest condemnation that anybody could incur - and it is a danger to guard against - is to be so independent, so unhelpful, that nobody ever interrupts us, and we are left comfortably alone."

I read this as part of Shawni Pothier's post here.

Us:

Cory & I met at school (BYU) in Aug 2002, began dating in July 2004 and were married Jan of 2005. We lived in Orem, UT while Cory finished his Bachelors, and then moved to San Diego (while 7 mo pregnant with twins) in July of 2007 for Cory to begin law school. We welcomed Micah and Noah to our family in Sept 2007. In July 2008, we moved to beautiful Carlsbad, CA which is where we live now. Samantha Dawn joined us in July 2009. Cory graduated from law school in May 2010 and is now working as a Regulatory Affairs Specialist for Zimmer Dental here in Carlsbad. He loves it. Misty started a business as a Shelf Reliance consultant in December 2010 and is doing very well and enjoying helping others become more self reliant. Hanna Catherine joined us in Jan 2011 which makes four kids in just over three years! We love our family and have lots of fun together. Our kids keep us busy and happy.

The Funnies:

2/20/11:
While sitting on the playroom floor, Granna and Micah have the following conversation:
Granna: Are you in Nursery or Primary?
Micah: I'm in my house!

Micah was eating Nachos for dinner tonight. He said: "I love guacamole. Here is the guac and over there is the mole."

2/25/11:
The following conversation took place during breakfast:
Noah: Mom, I have a hypothesis
Mom: Oh, really? (where did he learn that word?) What is it?
Noah: Honey Nut Cheerios are really gross. I will now need a BIG bowl to test my hypothesis.

3/1/11:
I've been sick recently, so Cory reminded Noah before family prayer tonight to pray that Mommy's sick bugs would go away. This is what he said in his prayer: "Please bless that Mommy can take a shower so that she won't be sick anymore."

3/8/11:
Micah has a toy that asks him questions and then records his answers. I think the following two were a bit telling:
Toy: Pretend you're a Daddy. What would you say?
Micah: Micah, watch out! That's a bee!
Toy: Pretend you're a Mommy. What would you say?
Micah: Can you do me a big favor?

3/25/11:
Micah wanted to show Nanna all his tricks. After he had showed her a few (like jumping off the stairs and doing a somersault) the following conversation took place:
Nanna: WOW! That is awesome. I remember when the only tricks you could do were to sleep, eat, and poop.
Micah: I can still do those tricks Nanna. I make brown poopies.

3/29/11:
Micah said this while getting ready for bed tonight:
"Boys come from Daddy's tummies. Girls come from Mommy's tummies. Boys are bigger. That is why Daddies have big tummies."

4/23/11: Noah said: "Mom, the potty likes to eat peepee and poo!"

7/26/11:
Cut my finger while making dinner tonight. Noah was tonight designated "helper," so he saw it happen. When he saw blood he said: "Oh no, I'm going to have to get a new Mommy now!"

9/1/11:
Cory: Who is going to say the prayer?
Noah: Nobody!
Cory: I don't know anyone named "Nobody." Oh, wait, I know a NOAHbuddy
Noah: (VERY angry) NO DAD! I'm not a butt! Don't call me a butt!

Micah: Mom, what does Budiget mean?
Me: I've never heard that word, where did you hear it?
Micah: In the Temple
Me: Really? When?
Micah: When I got married
Me: To who?
Micah: You, when I was one.

9/6/11:
Me: It sure is hot today.
Noah: Yeah, I'm sh*tting (yes, the 4 letter word)
Me: WHAT?!
Noah: sh*tting, you know, I'm all stinky and drippy.

9/12/11: I just found Samantha on the toilet yelling: "Come out pee pee, come out!"

10/22/11: Noah turns to me during our "date" and says: "Mom, I'm nocturnal. Just like a bat. I can see at night."

During the same date while discussing what he wanted for Christmas, Noah said: "Mom, your just not as cool as Santa, but it's okay, I still love you."

11/12/11
I asked the boys what we should get Nanna and Grumpa for Christmas:

Micah: We should decorate their house with yummy candy canes
Noah: Let's give them a movie. One of ours, that I don't like.

12/10/11:

I asked Noah if he got his "cuteness" from Mommy or Daddy and he said: "Neither, I got it from Jesus!"

3/15/12:
Noah and I were working in the garden and I noticed that something had eaten all but 2 of our onions. I said: "Oh on, an animal ate all of our onions." I was VERY sad and disappointed as I had JUST put up a fence the day before to stop that. Without even looking at the onions, Noah said: "Mom, I know what we need to do. We need to pray." I said: "Okay, help me remember during family prayer tonight. He said: "No, we need to do it NOW." So, we went inside and said a prayer for our garden. We walked back outside and Noah looked at the onions and saw the remaining two. He got all excited and said: "Mom, look! Heavenly Father already made 2 onions grow back!"

3/17/12
Noah WOULD NOT go to the bathroom today until I wiped all the Leprechaun footprints off the mirror. He said it scared him that they could walk sideways.

3/17/12
Micah came into the living room today and asked if I knew how to spell "umbrella." I said I did and asked if he knew how. He said "yep: u-m-b-r-e-l-l-a, and I can also spell xylophone. x-y-l-o-p-h-o-n-e. Seriously a bit concerned....
