What have I been up to?

For the past few weeks I have been working on my friend Lacey's baby bedding. Is was fun to create something from just a few yards of fabric.

Today Katie found a bruise on her little knee. She then told me that when we got home from the mall that she would take and a nap and I would serve her. Um, I think that we have been watching far too many princess movies!

Katie was really mad the other day and was raising her voice to us. She then said "You guys are hilarious!" We need to teach her the meaning of the word hilarious!

Katie told me today that her talents are climbing, climbing trees, and making noises!

Today I was looking for a Washington Mutual bank to set up new accounts as we are moving and for some reason BofA does not exist in Utah. As we were driving Katie said, "It's okay, mom. Follow your own path and you will find it." She almost sounded like Grandmother Willow off of Pocahontas!

The other day Katie came up to me and said "Mom, did you know that my two little hands (shows me her hands) can make a big difference. That's what Noggin told me". Noggin (for those who don't know) is like a Disney Channel with cartoons running 24/7.

It was way past Katie's bedtime and we forgot to have her brush her teeth. Oops! She was good enough to come in and remind us. After a few minutes we yelled into her, "Katie, are you still brushing your teeth?" "Yep and my nose she yelled back. What!? We just let her basically brush her face with her toothbrush and then sent her to bed. We were too tired to argue with her that night.

This Sunday Katie was getting dressed for church. We noticed that a little dress purchased for her over about two years ago was finally getting too small. I told her that her dress was getting too short and that this Sunday was the last time she could wear it to church. She said, "Mom, that is fine. It is my destiny to grow bigger and the dress's destiny to stay the same."

Today we pulled upto a stop light and in the lane next to us was a guy on a motorcycle. The guy was not wearing a helmet. Out of the blue Katie said, "That guy is asking to die". It took us a minute to understand what she was saying. Because the guy did not have a helmet on she thought he was asking to die. I guess she does listen to us when we talk.

Every time we go the bank we always ask for suckers so the kids are happy about running errands. The other day, we went drive thru in the bank. As soon as the teller said, "May I help you?" Kellen yelled from the back seat, "May I have a sucker please!!!" It was so funny!!

Today my mom took Kellen to JCPenneys. The lady was really nice and said goodbye to Kellen. Kellen then yelled, "Adios muchos!!!!" My mom said that the whole store could hear him. He was trying to say "Adios Muchachos."

Tonight we went to Walmart to pick up some last minute things for Father's Day. Kellen was being a little naughty in the car on the way home. I told Kellen that he needed to be kind and stop talking in a mean voice. Of course the little stinker kept going. I told him that he was going to have a time-out. I told him that I was really sorry that he would be going to time-out. He then said, "Oh, it's okay, but don't let it happen again." What is up with that!! My kids are so sassy!

Today we were at church and before we go into Sacrament meeting Katie always gets a drink from the fountain. Today Katie was at the fountain and Kellen cut right infront of her. I was getting ready for Katie to throw a small fit about Kellen cutting, but instead she picked him up and put the water on for him. It was one of those moments that are so precious. I am so grateful for Katie and how loving she is to her brother.

Lately, Kellen is really excited to say prayers. I am so happy that he likes to speak with Heavenly Father. The other night he did a prayer that I will never forget! He started like this:

Dear Heeeeaaaavenly Faaaaaaaaaather,
(Think of Bob Dillan when you read this)
Life is a hiiiighway. I want to driiiiiiive it alllllll niiiiiiight long!!!
Thank you for Lightning McQueen, and for dad to get a job.

This kid is hilarious! It took four prayers for Kellen to actually say one that did not bounce off the ceiling.

Katie and Kellen are really proud that they know the Walmart slogan. Whenever we get to Walmart, together they say "Live better. Save More. Walmart".

1/10
We were at church watching a little girl walk by us in Sacrament meeting. We would say "hi" quietly. Then Kellen told us that we do not talk to babies. We only talk to people that talk!

Lately, Kellen has been telling Katie that he wants to marry her. Katie thinks that gross, as she should! Today, Kellen told her that he still wanted to get married but they weren't going to kiss. Katie made a funny face :)

Kellen says mummies sneak into your house and steal all of your toilet paper. He says it's totally true.
