poop scoop

so. this is a story about...you guessed it. poop. no jill, carson did not smear poop on the wall this time. instead, carson and his cousin malloy pooped in a bucket at my parents house. juliette and i were laughing so hard!! malloy, nixie and carson were all jumping on the trampoline. juliette looked out the kitchen window to check on them after a few minutes and nixie was alone on the tramp. cars and malloy had gotten out and zipped up the enclosure with nixie inside. she was sad. juliette then looked around for carson and malloy and discovered them in a corner of the yard squatting over a bucket with their pants down. she asked them what they were doing. they were startled but both said, "nothing". remember, they both have their pants down and both are squatting over the same bucket. she looks inside and sure enough, poop. not only poop, but pee in/on the bucket and in the surrounding area. she calls for me to come out there. we were both laughing so hard at our crazy children and very grossed out!! we didn't want to take the pee dripping bucket inside to dump it in the toilet and we didn't want to dump it in the trash bin so...we dumped it over the fence. there is a park next to my parents house. we were laughing so hard because, since juliette is taller, she got to put it over the fence only...it didn't want to go. pee started to drip down her arm and i was up next. we finally got it over with a little water mixed in to make it easier. seriously when carson and his cousins are together, they make the most mischief!! it almost always involves peeing and pooping!! sorry this post was so gross!! does anyone else have problems like this with their children?!

new cousin!!

carson and cody have a new cousin on the sarager side!! baby adelyn belle was born last monday around 9:30 am!! she is so cute and looks just like her sister, but chubbier!! so now the grandchildren count is 4!! two boys, two girls!! so exciting!! they came over tonight and so we took some pictures! they were good up until cody steam-rolled the baby trying to get up!! aahh!boys!

surprise party!!

carson has a birthday coming up. "the birthday fairy" (eden) keeps leaving cute little notes for him at the front door reminding him that he's almost four and a big boy. i was going to do a small birthday party for him with just a few friends from our ward that he loves, but yesterday, he informed us he was having a surprise party. he said he was going to walk into the house, and it would be dark...then he would flip the light on and all his "friends" (he calls our family his friends) would yell "SURPRISE!!!" seriously, how can i not give him a surprise party?! he's already planned it for me!! so family, if you are reading this, this is your official invite to carson's self-planned surprise party at mom and dad's on sunday the 15th. time to be announced. hope the party lives up to his expectations!!

babies and puppies?

monday morning, carson and i were lying in bed, i don't remember where the other two were, but i was reading and he was watching cartoons. out of the blue, he says," i love you, mom" i said," i love you too" and gave him a kiss, then he says," we don't have a baby girl do we?" i said, "no we don't." then he said," we should get one." (with a huge smile on his face) i said," what would we name her?" "baby delilah!!" was his response!! on sunday we went up to flagstaff to Juliette's newest baby-love's blessing. incidentally her name is delilah june!! i wonder where he got that name from?! he must have really thought she was super awesome, because we've asked him in the past if we should have a girl in our family and he always wears a disgusted look and shouts no!!

we recently received two bags of hand-me-downs from my sisters-in-law heather and jamie. (thanks!!) inside one of the bags was a dog costume. carson was so excited!! he wanted it on immediately!! we put it on him and it was not fitting length-wise (you know, too tight in the crotch and it wouldn't zip up all the way). he did not care in the least!! he went around acting like a cute carson-puppy. he even took a nap in it! then, a couple days later cody found it while cars was taking a nap and wanted it on!! it was huge on him, but he loved it too!! he's found our mirror in our room and keeps looking in it and "dancing" ( consists of him raising his right shoulder to his ear ) he laughs so hard afterwards. it's so cute!!

happy puppy in a puppy blanket as well

if carson's abdomen looks distended, it is. he shoved stuff down the neck of the puppy costume. like the clothes he was wearing before he put the costume on and mmm...maybe a stuffed animal or two. if his eyes look half-open, they are. he sleeps that way. it's kind of creepy.

rolled up puppy-legs!!

the boys by the fireplace!! what handsome boys!! i love them!!!
