My little Sunbeam!


Oh my little man is growing up so fast! This month Carson graduated from nursery to Sunbeams! He is so cute in his little argyle sweater he got it for Christmas from his Tia Vicky and he loves to wear it to church! Chris gets him dressed on Sunday mornings and does his hair and he'll come and find me and tell me "Mommy look, I look like a stud like daddy!" He's so shy and timid that it was hard to get him to make the switch to nursery, we were worried about having to make the move from nursery to primary. Thank goodness for all the wonderful teachers in our ward! They were wonderful in nursery and his Sunbeams teacher is so wonderful too! I'm the kind of mom who thinks it's better to just throw them into a new situation and let them adjust. To me the adjustment period is so much faster than if I try to be more delicate and stick around to ease them in. I like to take them and leave and not worry about if their screaming or not. (That may sound horrible) So I've loved the fact that the teachers in the ward have shared in my theory! Carson made the adjustment pretty well. He cried, and screamed at first that I was leaving him with a stranger, but in 5 minutes he was over it and when I came to pick him up he didn't wanna leave his new teacher. He really likes her and he said she was really nice and that he wanted to come back and go to class again. He spent all sacrament telling me about what he learned and he couldn't wait to tell Grandma too! Lilli's next, next January she'll make the switch too. But we're actually looking forward to this March when Landon will finally be in nursery and we'll be baby free in our classes. Chris is actually the one who takes him to class, so I should say he's really looking forward to it more than me!

Super Funny Kids Quotes!

New Quotes.:

I asked the kids if they wanted mommy to have another baby? They said yes so I asked Lilli if she would want a little brother, to which she replied, "We already have a little brother...it's over there."

Carson and I were playing Go Fish and as usual he beat me pretty bad ;), he quickly ran to tell daddy, "I cleaned the foor with mommy!"

I plan out the dinners for the month on a calander in the kitchen and Friday's are always pizza days. A few Friday's ago Carson was so excited ALL day for Pizza. He kept asking if it was time yet, I kept telling him it wasn't pizza time yet and finally when Chris got home from work Carson ran up to him and asked, "Daddy, NOW is it Pizza O'clock?" (translation, "is it Pizza time yet)

On the Fourth of July Chris and I took the kids to see the fireworks show and we were eager to see what Landon's reaction would be to them. As soon as they started, he got a little startled but it quickly turned to excitement and then he would point to them and say "POPCORN!"

We often drive by the new Cowboys stadium and Carson will ask about it we'll tell him it's where the Cowboys play football...the other day we went there to drop Chris and a few of my brothers off to watch a soccer game, and Carson asked about what they were going to watch, I said soccer this time not football. A week later at church when we were walking the halls Carson asks about the pictures of the Temples on the wall so we'll tell him they are Temples and explain about them and he turns to us and asks, "But what about the soccer Temple? Where's the picture of the soccer Temple?" (it's a BIG stadium and I guess to him it looked like it should be on the wall of Temples.)

We were going grocery shopping the other day, Carson asked where we were going and I told him to the food store. Right then we passed McDonalds and he asks me, "At McDonalds they sell food right?" I said yes and he asks, "If they sell food there, then it's a food store right?" I again say yes I suppose so, and he says, "Well if it's a food store, then maybe we should go there this time."

When we were in Utah Uncle Daniel would take the kids out on the trampoline every now and then. Once they were out there and Lilli was bothered that Carson was jummping and bouncing her all around so she tells him, Carson stop, you're making me bounce and Carson replied, "that's not my problem." (A little rude.)

We went to lunch one day to Paradise bakery and Chris and I got a bowl of creamy potato soup. We sat down started eating and the kids started inquiring about our soup. We said it was potato soup with cheese...Carson shoot up and said to Chris, "That sounds like my kind of soup!" (We were laughing hysterically!)
