just have to record some things...

some hilarity that has come from the kids' mouths recently:

Campbell, upon finding her digestive system a little "stopped up" after our drive to Utah proclaims with no uncertainty that she has a "grumpy tomato in her bottom."  She explained to cousin Zavian that it will probably come out in her sleep.  The two of them walked around talking about it the rest of the night!  It did come out in her sleep, but then the next day in the bathroom she went #2 again and "had to check if it was red."

When Aunt Mignon came out of the temple with her new groom, Uncle Joel, Campbell spun around and around and shouted gleefully "I'm MARRIED!!! I'm MARRIED!!!"  She explained that she married "all the boys and all the girls".  She's got a big heart, it seems.

Campbell loves to stand on my scale in the bathroom.  It made me smile when the other day she stood and said, "Oh, Mommy, my foots have a feveh!!"


Cadence watched Lilo and Stitch while away.  She just explained to me, "Ohana means family, and family means no one gets left behind.  And the parents get left behind though.  Cause they're dead."  I laughed out loud.  it was a great description of the movie.  They will not get to watch it again, by the way.  Do you find it inappropriate for kids?

Cadence still sees herself as an adult and lectures me frequently.  think that will stop when she's a teenager?  She got after me the other day because I told her she IS smaller than many of the kids in her class.  Apparently she wanted me to side with her.  She got mad and told me it was mean of me to call her "small".   She also thinks it's very rude  of me to deny her access to my headbands and accessories.


Layla is hilarious but I can't quite put it into words.  She says things like, "Oh, aaaaaaaaaaaawwwwe you da mommy?"  and, "let's do this!"  and, "doe blehblehbleh dress!" (don't mess with the dress!)

okay, pictures and more utah details to come!
