Listening to Caitlin today

There are so many funny things that Caitlin said today. I didn't write them down so I forgot many of them, but here's a sample.

(She got out the doctor play kit) "I wanna be a dah-ker!"- I want to be a doctor
(Listening to her heart with the stethoscope) "I helfee." -I am healthy
(Running upstairs to get me something) "I get a mommy present. I go upstairs. Stay der. I be wight back."
(During dinner) "Could I watch a Wiggles? Say yes!"
(Blinking her eyes rapidly) "Katie says [blink blink blink]"
(Running in circles) "I running, I running, I running in a circle!"
"Are you happy, mommy? I happy."

Oh Mindy, Caitlin is just so beautiful! What a great picture of her!

I wish I would have had something like this to look back on! I keep a journal for each kid and sometimes write funny things they say, but what a great idea to write down how they speak!!!

You are such a great mommy!
Lucky kids! (& Ken)

This is why I wanted to stay at your house longer! Now you get to hear all the funny things, but thanks for sharing them, that way I'm almost there!!! You will be so glad you've written some of them down. It's tough to do all the things you need to do in a day, and still have time to transcribe all the cute stuff. You'll laugh, but I started carrying a pad and pencil around with me ;) It is just too easy to forget all the fun things...

10 years today

Dylan made me these hearts as an anniversary gift. Sweet, huh? Ten years ago I was newly graduated from college, in love and ready to get married! Well, technically I was freaking out about getting married, which probably made Ken feel super good. Most of you know this story and the rest of you probably don't care, but it's my blog, so ppppthhhht! Ken lived across the street from me during our last year of college (but curiously, we were 24 and 25. Oh, how I love BYU). He and his room mate spent many evenings, and when I say evenings I really mean late at night, in my living room talking to my room mates, Laura and Cheryl (hi guys!). I would emerge from my basement lair, tell them to pipe down and then retreat for my beauty sleep and morning classes. Ken would hang out then go home, watch a movie, go jogging at 3 am and then sleep until noon. Somewhere in there I assume he also studied a bit but maybe not. He probably just showed up and dazzled his professors with his ...

A few projects

I made this pair of puppies from this really cute crochet book: They were my first attempts at animals and they showed me just how hard it is to crochet evenly and then attach all the limbs correctly. Dylan and Caitlin accepted these two little guys and love them in spite of their lopsidedness. But I decided to try again: Following the same pattern I made these two little puppies. There are still many things about attaching limbs that I need to master. Once the puppies were stuffed their eyes never looked quite like they were supposed to and the noses were obviously stitched on off center. But I learned to pin the limbs into place with straight pins before sewing that that helped me out immensely. Here's the other project from the same book that I have been working on:

some things about me

Is it cheating if I reuse material from another place? Once in college I used a paper I had written for one class for an assignment in another class. I told the professor and he acted like he was giving me a free pass by accepting it. Whatever! I wrote it! Is it my fault that it fit the assignments for two different classes? Anyway, I hardly ever do these but I spent a really long time compiling this list for a facebook meme so I am reprinting it with permission from the author (me) here: 25 things about me. 1. I like the weather to stay between 67-73 degrees. Preferably with sunshine. I also love thunder storms on summer evenings in Utah. They smell amazingly fresh and rainy. I like to watch them from inside. 2. I have enough embarrassing moments to fill this list but one of the most embarrassing was once in college when I thought my car was dead. I called a room mate to come pick me up, she called her brother to come look at the car and tow it. He drove 45 minutes to rescu...
