Addison was on the phone talking to grandma. Grandma had asked if the snow was snow on the ground and Addison replied, :only on the potato chips (wood chips)."

2/15/12

It was the Blue and Gold Banquet and they served us a yummy dinner of hot dogs (our families favorite ha ha). A few of us chose not to eat. When we got home Saige asked her favorite question "what's for dinner." I told her it was the hot dogs she didn't want to eat but we could do something small and simple. So when Chris walked in the house she said, "feel free to make yourself something." (check on chris's computer for exact wording)

After Kelton's baptism he said "I feel happy." During Uncle David's talk he said "I felt sad. I got tears in my eyes, my spirit was happy." He also said I felt good during my confirmation.

Kelton explained he got happy tears but didn't want to cry in front of everyone so immediately after the closing prayer he said he needed a drink. He made sure that he clarified that he really did need a drink also.

After reading scriptures in the morning, Kelton walks downstairs and says, "my brain hurts." When Mom asks why, he says, "I hurt my head yesterday."

12/24/10

On the way home to our house from Grandma's, Kelton and Saige thought they saw Rudolph's nose and Santa. After Mom says we better get home and get to bed before Santa comes, and the kids are frantic, Kelton responds, "...you don't have to put us to bed tonight, we will do it ourselves."

12/24/10

As we were getting ready to leave our Christmas Eve party with Grandma and Papa, Kelton had come up stairs and said we needed to hurry home because Santa was in "Ohimo."

12/22/10

I was outside building a snowman with the kids. Kelton and I were talking about the shape of the head and he says, "you're right mom, I'm wrong." I was shocked those are words you don't here come out of Kelton's mouth.

12/5/10

11/18/10

Ayden had parent teacher conference today. While we were waiting for our turn, I was asking him what he thought his teacher would tell me. "Will she say you are good or bad?"

11/17/10

11/3/10

After talking about the big Utah game this weekend, I asked Jill who she thought was going to win. She respond with, "let's see, they are playing TLC, right?"

11/1/10

Ayden's friend came over to see if he wanted to play this is how the conversation goes:

Jaden: Do you want to play?

Ayden: No, I want to play with my mom.

Jaden: Why do you want to play with your mom, I want to play with you.

Ayden: My mom is funner.

10/19/10

Tonight Addison wanted to listen to "A happy little working song," on iTunes from the Disney movie "Enchanted." The kitchen needed to be cleaned up from Dinner, so Dad said, "...let's listen to it really loud, while we clean up the kitchen." He then pretended to prance into the kitchen with Addison, and she responded by saying, "Daddy, you look like a girl!"

I just remembered something I wanted to write down that Saige would say all though it was not recently (last year). She has the tendency to get stung by bees and this is her reasoning. "The bees are attracted to me because I have honey brown skin."

10/7/10

Kambrie was being overly sensitive. I looked at her and said, "you are so tired." Addison then says, "you need a boobie?"

10/4/10

We were asking the kids what they learned at school, when it came time for Ayden he said, "we don't learn anything, we just work."

10/3/10

During family scripture study tonight Addison looks at the open book and points the the middle of the book and says, "bum cheek" she must be obsessed with bum cheeks these days because anytime she sees two thing separated by a straight line, "bum cheeks" is the first thing out of her mouth.

10/2/10

Saige was behind us pretending to cry, Addison hears her crying and says, "whats wrong babe."

9/26/10

Kelton: I'm so funny tonight, am I drunk?

9/25/10

Addison was begging to go outside to ride her bike while I was getting ready for the General Womens Confrence. I had told her I would take her outside after I finished my hair, and she waited very patiently. When I finally I asked if she was ready to go outside, she was so excited and then said, "wait I have to pull up my pants." She had some leggings on under her dress and they weren't pulled up all the way, so her little bottom was showing. I told her, "you better pull them up because that wouldn't be good," and in her sweet little voice she replied, "but Nita does." It was a reminder to me of how much our children learn from our actions and not just our words. They see and internalize so much more than we give them credit for.

9/19/10

I just bought some peaches and nectarines from Costco and I have them sitting on the counter to ripen. Addison looks at them and says, "they look like bum cheeks." Ayden clarifies for her she thinks they look like bum cheeks because, "they have a little crack."

9/3/10

I hopped in the bath this morning to find my diamond missing out of my ring. After a prayer and some searching I found the diamond a few hours later in the diaper bag. Ayden noticed me kneeling down next to the table and asked what I was doing. I then told him I was praying to Heavenly Father and thanking him for answering my prayers. I then took the opportunity to teach him and bear a simple testimony. He then said begrudgingly, "Heavenly Father didn't answer my prayer." I asked him about what and when He said, "when I lost my money at Grandmas in the backyard."

8/15/10

Ayden, mad about being told he could not take a second bath in the morning, told his Dad that he did not like him anymore. Dad told him, "I guess I will just spend all day at work then and never come home." Ayden replied by saying, "Dad, people say 'I don't like you' all the time...to get them to change."

8/1/10

We overheard Kelton talking to his Papa Dave saying, "I will probably just go to Utah like my Dad, because BYU is too hard to get into." This was music to his Grandpa's ears, and poison to his Dad's.

7/31/10

I was away for the weekend and when I got home I asked Ayden if he missed me? He said, "not that so much." If it came from any other child I would have taken it personally but not with Ayden.

7/28/2010

While at Grandmas, out of the blue - Kelton asks, "when I am resurrected, do I have to wear the same clothes, or can I change them?"

7/22/10

6/8/10

Addison had dropped her markers on the floor so I asked her to clean them up. "I don't want to clean them up" she says as she walks away from them and for the stairs. Addison clean them up so we can color; she responds with "I'm mean, don't talk to me"

Ayden wanted to play with Saige and Kelton and be the bad guy. Saige and Kelton were playing dog trainers and didn't want any bad guys to be apart of there game. Ayden then goes on to tell us how good guys are boring and that "dog trainers are boring there just old mans".

6/1/10

One of Addisons new favorite past times is coloring. However, she always wants someone to color with her and is very demanding ordering me to "sit and color" or "sit down" or "color with me". When I take the time to stop what I am doing I can't help but smile as I listen to her encouraging words such as "mom, you color so pretty" or "thats so good mom"

5/31/10

We were on our way to my parents to go swimming. We were a couple minutes from arriving when Ayden excitedly announces that he forgot his swimsuit. I reassure him that it was at grandmas from the other day. He then lets us know that he doesn't want to go swimming. I tell him he is. His response, "I'm going to tell grandma, Ill just eat all day."

3/8/10

3/8/10

Before leaving the house for our FHE activity, Dad was handing out fruit snacks to the kids. When he handed one to Ayden, our little guy turned Dad down, saying, "I already snuck a pack earlier today." You have to give him credit for being honest...

3/6/10

Kelton got new basketball shorts for this birthday, and on the way to his basketball game I hear him talking in the back of the car saying, "everyone will say...WHOS THAT NEW GUY!" We didn't have the heart to tell him that boys generally don't notice those things about other boys. He get's so excited about new sports clothes, he later asked, "Do you think I'll be able to run very fast with this stuff on?" Yes Kelton, it is all about how you look...

3/5/10

This morning, Grandma Terri called, and Dad said that "oubachan" was on the phone. Saige and Kelton asked what that was, and Dad explained that it was the word for grandma in Japanese. Kelton then said, "oh cool...I can count to 10 in English!" He then ran and got a paper from his backpack on how to count to ten in Spanish.

2/25/10

Addison had set her granola bar down so I picked it up and took a small bite. She quickly says, "that's mine stinker stinker."

2/22/10

Mom noticed Saige was sitting on the counter top while brushing her teeth and she had spilled toothpaste all over her foot. "Saige, that is why we don't sit on the counter," Mom said. Saige quickly responded, "Mom...that is only one reason why we don't sit on the counter, there are lots of reasons we don't sit on the counter."

2/22/10

Tonight while at dinner, Mom noticed Ayden's shoes, and said, "Ayden, we need to teach you how to put your shoes on the right feet." Ayden looked down at his feet and then promptly crossed his legs to fix the problem...

2/18/10

Most every night, Dad asks the kids if they served anyone today. Tonight, Kelton said he had. When asked about it, he said he served a friend who had fallen down. It was vague enough that Mom asked what the friends name was. Kelton blushed a bit, smiled, and said, "...let me think, just kidding, but I had a dream about it last night."

2/2/10

Last week I was in the middle of feeding Kambrie and Addison wanted something right then and I told her she had to wait. In turn she stomped out of the room pouting while yelling "I don't like you mom, I don't like you mom..."

1/27/10

Tonight while asking Ayden what he wanted for his Hope Kids birthday gift, he said he wanted Clone Wars, but when I asked him what else he wanted for his birthday, he came over to me, looked me in the eyes, and said, "I want you."

1/26/10

We were at the table eating and Addison sneezed Ayden said,

"her sprayed me, it was like raining."

Kelton and I came home from basketball practice in the van tonight, and when we opened the garage door, Kelton said, "Ah...Dad, everyone left us, where did they go!" I reminded Kelton that we had the van, so obviously there was no car in the garage. "oh...yeah, that's right," he said relieved.

1/23/10

After going back and forth and few times she said, "Mom you're making it worse" I asked how and she said, "the argument."

1/6/10

Saige and I were talking in her room with Kambrie. After talking for a while I told Saige to get her jammies on. While she was changing she told Kambrie, "Kambrie don't look at me it's probably embarrassing for a little girl that just came down from heaven."

11/26/09

11/25/09

Addison wanted to watch the Grinch Who Stole Christmas, and we asked Saige to help her put it on the TV. Saige asked if Addison could watch it on the computer instead. When Dad asked why, Saige said, "because we are playing and we might get distracted!"

11/5/09

My mom was cutting up mushrooms in the kitchen and Ayden said, "we see those outside on the grass." My mom goes on to explain that we never put those in our mouths because they are poisonous and you could die. She then tells him he should never let Addison put them in her mouth either. Ayden responds by saying, "we'll always have our other baby."

10/28/09

My mom took the kids to get donuts after their famous history parade. On the way there the kids were telling us what kind of donuts they wanted and Kelton said, "I want a maple bar the one with skin colored frosting."

Mom, said, "no," He then said, "oh yeah, cause I haven't turned that letter yet..." That is right Ayden, you do not need to be baptized until you turn the "letter" eight!

4/8/09

Tonight I was telling Jill how I had hit my head hard on the pantry door, and after telling the story, Kelton responded, "oh..poor guy."

4/5/09

I was putting Kelton to bed tonight and he turns to me and says, "my brain keeps telling me mom is stupid, but I'm not saying it." So I asked him if I was stupid, he said, "no, but my brain keeps telling me that your stupid." He goes on to show me with his mouth closed that he's not saying it, but that his brain is. It really got me laughing because he wasn't mad at me and I was just tickling his back singing him songs. So I explained to him that Satan will try to trick us to do or say bad things and that we need to choose the right. A few minutes later he calls me up to his room and tells me it was Satan behind him telling him to say it, but he didn't.

3/31/09

I was driving the kids to there well visit check up. I was exiting I-15 getting onto I-215 and Saige says, "Mom the speed limit is 50 how fast are you going?" I checked my speedometer and said, "65, I better slow down." Saige then said, "good thing I told you the speed limit or else you would have gotten a ticket."

3/18/09

3/17/09

Tonight at dinner, Kelton asked if afterwards we could build a Leprechaun trap. He kept saying, "can we...it is so easy." We replied that "if it is so easy, you can build one yourself." He then smiled and said, "but I don't know how."

3/13/09

Tonight while putting Ayden to bed, Mom was praising him for how nice he was all day, and Dad was trying to determine with him how many marbles he should get. After Dad asked Ayden if he should get five, Ayden responded, "Just get out of my room!" He was definitely ready to go to sleep and the nice-guy routine had worn off.

3/13/09

Tonight while watching a movie, the boys and the Meek girls were talking about how old each of them were, and then asked me how old I was. I responded that I was 31, and then Kelton asked, "How old is Mom?" I responded that she was turning 29, and Kelton said, "Wow Dad, Mom is catching up to you!"

3/13/09

I was pointing out a deer that had been hit by a car on the side of the road to the kids. After thinking about it for a few seconds Ayden said, "I don't think he's dead he's just tired from going up the hill." Cute little Ayden just thought the deer felt like him going up a hill or stairs.

3/13/09 Just minutes after picking Saige up from school she says, "aren't you going to ask me how my day was?" So I ask how her day was and she says, "not very good, somebody called me small and then said are you a second grader because you look like a first grader or kindergartener."

...later that night Ayden told Dad, "Mom always calls you small." I guess it runs in the family.
