Kids are funny!

Ever since Carter has started talking, I have recorded funny things he says in a little book. This is just a funny little conversation that went on between Carter and his friend Paige that I had to share. I hope it makes you laugh and hopefully it isn't one of those "you had to be there" things. I tried to censor it as much as possible, but remember that this is a conversation between a 4-year-old and an almost 3-year-old. Carter is almost potty trained (horray) but he still wears diapers at night. I was putting his diaper on before bed and it didn't even occur to me that Paige was in the room and that I should have had her leave, but here is how the conversation went:

Paige: Carter, my brother (who is almost 2) has the exact same "pee-pee" as yours. It is the same size, shape, and everything .

Carter: Oh, shapes like squares, triangles, and circles?

Mom: Not quite Carter!

I hope it makes you smile....it made me!

White and Black

So for all of you who don't know, Matt and I are building a house in Lehi. I'm excited to be able to choose most of my color/options but at the same time it makes me realize that I'm AWFUL at making decisions. Matt and I were at the design center today and we got most things sorted out, but the one thing I cannot decide on is the color scheme of the kitchen. I've always been pretty traditional but as I've explored more and more kitchen designs, I'm thinking about a white kitchen with a black island. I have a picture in my head, so it is hard to explain how exactly I want it, but I found a picture online that is close to what I want. So here are my questions to you, my fellow bloggers: Do you like the beadboard cabinet doors, or is it "beadboard overload?" What about the contrasting island? Give me your honest feedback and thanks for your help!

Fun Run for Kids


My adorable aunts, Janie and Debbie Hill, traveled to Africa last year to do some service. When they returned home, they felt such a love for the children there that they started a Fun Run for Kids last year. All of their proceeds go to "Reach the Children" for Africa. Carter and my other nephew and neice participated last year and it was really a blast. It was so fun to see the kids race and every single kid gets a prize for participating. Breanne Garlick and I even participated in the Adult 5K and I was pregnant (needless to say I didn't win)! The 2nd annual Fun Run for Kids is coming up on Saturaday, May 3, 2008. Although I would love all of you fellow bloggers to come participate, I know distance is a constraint for many of you. For those of you who are in Utah and closeby, I would love for you to bring your little kiddies and Run for the kids in Africa. Check out their website for more details! As an added bonus, you get a super cute T-shirt for running! Let me know if you have any questions!!
