Backyard Fun!

It's been so wonderful being in our new place and having this great big backyard to enjoy! The kids are really loving it and so is Raja! Since it's been so HOT out lately we thought it would be nice to fill up the pool and let the kids splash around for the afternoon...Besides they still had a new sprinkler water toy that made its way back from Utah that they hadn't had a chance to break out yet. (These pics are from about two weeks after we moved in, so a while ago keep that in mind). They had a blast splishing and splashing around in our great big backyard running and screaming and throwing Raja in the pool (which he did not like at all). Since this fun day in the pool we have actually taken up a good chunk of the backyard with a new play set...but those pics will be coming soon. It's been so nice having space to move around and especially to have a yard to send them out to play in so I can catch my breath or get some cleaning done. They actually spend a pretty good chunk of their day outside running around which I LOVE! The only thing is that Chris sprayed the yard for mosquito's and it's been better but we finally had to say any time after 5 is play inside time...they just get so eaten up by mosquito's despite the spray and despite spraying the kids...they're resilient little buggers! The kids don't seem to mind too much though they'd spend all day out there I think if we'd let them...especially when it involves playing with water!

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!)
