New Looks...

As you can see, I'm borderline obsessed with changing my backgrounds- ok, maybe "borderline" is a bit optimistic. I love to have something new to look at- I do the same thing with the wallpaper on my computer. SO- thanks for your patience, stick with me, and enjoy the change of scenery. ;)

Cute Things my kids say...

Clinty: " I KNOW that one!!! A-R-E, arrrrrrrrrre!!!" (Kisses "are" on page)
Cara: (looking up at the sky) " I think that's the one." Me: "What's the one?" Cara: "That cloud, that's where Heaven is...it's big enough. I think Gramma Joan and Grampa Ted is up there, walking around."
Clinton- "Cara, Dad said maybe tomorrow..." Cara: "Oh! What a terrible thought!!"
Clinton- I was just waving at dad, cause, you know...I just pretty much love him.
Clinton- 'JO-feff!!"
Cara- "Clinty just threwed a big fit- he shouldn't do that, he was just dunked in the water." (baptized)
Cara's prayer on Christmas Eve- "Please bless baby Jesus, and keep him safe, cuz I just love him so much." ♥ Clinton's prayer: "Please bless baby Jesus, and bless my toys so they work in the morning."
Cara- "Mom, you're the most honest, pretty maker of the trees." (While I decorated the Christmas tree-2009)
Cara- (walking outside with a huge wad of toilet paper in her hands)- When I asked what she was doing she said, "Cadie just had a blessyoubooger." - or in other words... a snotty sneeze. I like "blessyoubooger" much better. ;)
Cara- (after she fell down) - "Ooo, are you okay, bones?"
Cara- (while we walked to thecar in the dark she became very irritated with me...) "SHHHHH! Will. You. Be. Quiet?! You're just gonna wake up the BEARS!"
Cara- (to Jeff while he and Grandma were bickering) "No Jeff! You gotta be nice to my Grandma! Nope! We're saying a prayer!!..."Dear Hebenly Fadder, please bless Jeff to be nice to my grandma, cuz I love her, I just love her SO much! And please bless Clinty and Jeff to walk home and be safe, and please bless Jeff to be nice to Clinty too." (Poor Jeff!) ;)
Cara- "Did you know Snow White is sick? Yeah, she had a bad day. She ate all the juice and sandwiches and sketty-o's and it made her so sick. She just can't eat all that! But, my udder Barbies aren't sick. Just Snow White."
Clinton- "Mom, you're my BIG sweet!"
Clinton- "I miss your dancin, mom- I just wanna go watch it again. You're good." (Followed by a big smooch) ;)
Cara- "Look at my big gun mom! (a stick)- I gotta go get doze BIG bears!!!"
Cara- "I'm just not mad at ya, dad...I just want you to listen to me, k?"
Cara- (Here's another one about Cara and her emotional eyes...) "Mom, how do my eyes look? (Me- "tired.") Well, theys not. Theys just angry cuz dad's gone. (Me- "Well, tell them to be happy because dad will come home tonight while you're sleeping.") "ok...(looks up to the ceiling)-"Eyes, just be happy, ok? Dad, will be home tonight when you're sleeping." She huffs... "Ugh... they're still angry! I think they need a nap."
Clinton- (after we call dad to say our bedtime prayers on speakerphone)- " I just love dad, he's such a great guy."
Clinton- (He came with me to colorguard practice on night, and we (the team) had stopped to figure out a section)- "1,2,3, GO!!! Mom!!!! Throw your flag!!! You need to get busy!"
Cara- Mom, did you remember when I had a big, huge, sick in my body?
Clinton- (whenever he gets in trouble for acting naughty) "I'm just bein silly..." (for some reason, he thinks 'bein silly' makes it all ok...)
Cara- "My backs hurtin'. (This is what she says whenever she's supposed to be cleaning up.)
Cara- Mom? How do my eyes look? (I tell her 'tired')- she says, "No, they're grouchy, they 'just don't care.' They want to play games with me, but I don't want to." (These sort of conversations happen often with Cara. I don't know where she gets her ideas from...but they always amuse me. ;)
Cara- "Clinty just frowed a fit... he will be grumpy in two days...yeah...about two days."
Cara- "Those are just naughty bees, but the butterflies they make you happy- the blue one make it bigger and bigger like this! And the Corrington butterflies are nice."
Cara- "My nails sayed they hate me." (Me- "well, you better tell them not to talk that way, that's not nice-we don't say 'hate.')- Oh, my nails just say they really don't like me."
Cara- (sitting next to Clinton while we were working on his homework) "Clinty! Pay Tension! You gots to put a square here!" (This happens frequently, Clinton often goofs off and gets giggly when we do homework- and Cara always wants to do it for him.)
Cara- "Mom, did you know? I just love when my pop says 'pssst'."
Clinton- "Cara, are you going to pretty-school?" (preschool)
Cara-"Hey mom...um, excuse me, ...could I just eat some of your candies?"

Cara- "It's just 'whatever' mom"
Clinton- "No. Don't say 'later'...say, 'in a little bit'. "
Cara- (after a thunderstorm) " Oh! Der you are, sunshine! I missed you!"

Cara- Mom, I just wanna go to bed and say my prayers.
Clinton- After asking me if he could play with his tools outside after "we eat" - I say "sure." - "Good job saying 'sure' mom!"
Cara- (after worrying about Dad's sunburned legs...) I hand him a piece of cake and she says "That's for your legs, it will make 'dem feel bedder. It will make you happy."
Cara- (to Nana)- I lost my baby (doll). I think she went to see Heavenly Father.

Favorite Quotes...

"Joy, sorrow, tears, lamentation, laughter-- to all these music gives a voice, but in such a way that we are transported from the world of unrest to a world of peace, and see reality in a new way, as if we were sitting by a mountain lake and contemplating hills and woods and clouds in the tranquil and fathomless water." -Albert Schweitzer
"There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle." -Albert Einstein

"People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway. If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway. For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway." - Mother Teresa
"It's never to late to be what you might have become."
"It's impossible to be angry while singing."
"All that I am or hope to be, I owe to my mother."
