Carter isms

Carter is simultaneously so adorable I could melt and so frustrating I could scream..when she is in a good mood (and not screaming because I pushed the button to close the garage..for example.. Not that she's doing that right now..) she has the cutest personality and we are constantly amused by the things that come out of her mouth. Before I forget them here are some of our favorites: 

Scoopy me in (scoot me in)

Poc ci cle (Popsicle)

Can you do me a favorite? (Can you do me a favor?)

Open in it (open it)

Copping chart (shopping cart)

Bwing Bwing (her blanket)

All wight (all right)

Ott (off) 

Docker (doctor) 

Cubbers ( covers) 

Cue me (excuse me)

Natos (tomatoes)

Boon (spoon) 

Lossit (lots of it)

Wong ( long) 

Nuggly blanket (snugly blanket)

Water pop ( otter pop) 

Jeppers (Jefferson) 

Saturday hikes

I feel like I never post anymore. Life with three is crazy. Little j is growing well and doing a bit better. More smiles less screaming. He is on nutramigen ($$$ formula that to Cory thinks smells like cattle feed) and Prevacid. And did I mention I got called to the primary presidency? It's wonderful and I love the kids and the ladies I work with but it's lots of meetings and lots of work. 

Anyway- we've been trying to get out for a hike Saturday mornings since there are great places to go up here and the weather has been nice. Aside from the fact that I keep picking places up the canyon still covered in snow ( in June?? What up Utah???) it's been super fun. 

Battlecreek falls (pleasant grove) 

Big cottonwood canyon

Easter Egg-stravaganza!!!

We went to this fun easter egg hunt/event at Thanksgiving Point last saturday. Harrison had been looking forward to it for weeks. We got there right after the easter egg hunt started but luckily they had them every half hour so both of the kids got a pretty good haul of eggs. Plus bouncy houses and egg sack races and ring toss and lots of other fun stuff. We were lucky to have Aunt Lindsay and uncle Thanh with us during their visit from Vietnam. It's been so fun to have family come visit (first my mom, then my brother, then Lindsay and Thanh)...plus Thanh snagged my camera and took LOTS of great pictures :)

 All ready for the egg hunt

 Ready for a NAP

 trying to convince carter to put eggs in her basket. Yes my hair looks like it hasn't been combed in weeks....

 Harrison didn't need help :)

 Inspecting the loot

 Jumping!!!!

 none of us could really hula hoop...I swear I could as a kid...

 Ready to race!

 Cow train!!!

 uncle Thanh rescued carter after she saw the easter bunny. She does not like the easter bunny. He's worse than santa.

Harrison was so focused in the egg on the spoon race. He was behind us all but I admired the concentration.
