Cute words from cute kids!

This is so cute that I want to remember it forever and posting it here will help me do that! My problem is that everyday they take turns making me laugh and I wish I would put it up here so I could look back when I need a good laugh.

Mikayla has been wondering about how our bodies work and why. Everything is WHY!!! So we thought we would take her to see the Body Worlds exhibit and show her what our bodies look like on the inside. She was doing really well and I think actually learning something! The biggest thing she really was interested in was Blood. And that it is everywhere. I usually tell her that she can't have a band aid unless she is bleeding. Well all through the exhibit she would say "Where is his Bleed"
And yesterday she touched the hot pan after I told her No, and wanted a band aid and said "No Bleed is coming out but I need one"
And then when Daddy came home she told him all about it and said "I sure did a good job Daddy, I got it good."
Another one was when Brittany was over and was telling Mikayla that she and Mowgli (her Dog) were going to stay at our house while we go see Mickey Mouse. Mikayla was really excited! So Britt asked her if he could sleep in Mikayla's room and she said "He sure Can"
One that I am not so proud of, but makes me laugh on the inside is I asked her to find something and I said "Where is it Mikayla, we need to find it" and she said "I don't freaking know Mom!"
Kids really do say the funniest things!

Stock Show Fun

We it is that time of year again! The rodeo is back. I was really excited to go this year because Seth is old enough to really watch and get excited to see the animals. Mikayla is excited for the cotton candy! This year we went with Loren, Amanda, Maria, Luis, Grandma Jenni, Papa Paul, Uncle Brandon and our friend Jon. The kids had a great time. They got to pet cows, pigs, goats, rabbits, horses, and chickens. Seth was so excited. Mikayla tried talking to all of them- and one time a Sheep answered back and she thought that was the coolest thing ever. For the rest of the night she would say "Mama did you hear that sheep? He said Baa Baa just like me" Seth also learned some new things- He now says "Baa Baa" when you ask him what a sheep says and he says "Horse". It is amazing how fast they can catch onto things when they are really excited about it.


Of course Mikayla got her cotton candy, and popcorn, and gummy worms, and so much junk it was amazing that she slept that night! Grandma and Papa spoiled her rotten! She also got a little Cat that she named Popo. He came in a little cage too. She still is playing with him and asking him about the animals. Seth thinks it is a sheep and just says "baa baa"!
Luckily No Cowboys were hurt really bad! Only one was kicked in the head and he got up and walked back to safety. The girls kicked but in the mutton busting! they all held on for life, but one little boy set a new record with 97points. It was really cute. I think Seth would be great at it. We will just have to tell him it is like riding a motorcycle!
We had a really good time and can't wait for it to come back next year!

House updates!

Well I told everyone I would put up pictures of the fireplace! well it is almost finished! It has been to cold to paint it but it is up and finished! I want to make it dark brown/black like the bookcase we have next to it. I want to paint the walls a Brown and then get a dark teal accessories. That will be some day soon I hope! I was going to be over the holidays but then we all got the stomach flu:( Yuck!! So anyways here is the fire place!

Next was the kitchen sink- we had gotten a new sink a while ago but our faucet was ok- but now it was time for a new one the old one had a broken handle and was starting to leak a little bit. So after much negotiations between Billy and I we picked one out. I went to the store to get it and of course I could not find it. The guy who came to help was very "Gruff" and not a lot of help- he told me what was up there was wrong- they did not have anything like that for that price. So I said "well that is not my Fault, that is the one I want for that Price" so he handed me a torn piece of notebook paper that said $138.00 And his initials. So I got a $208 faucet for $138!! Sometimes it pays to stand up for what is right- well I think it is right they had their signs wrong!! So the good news is it took longer to get it home then it did to get it installed thanks to

Billy! I love how little things can make you like your house again!!

Congratulations!!

Congratulations Sierra, Ryan and Jaden!

Now you have the perfect little family:)

Get some sleep, if you can and let us know if you need anything:)

Thank you for letting me be a part of it! She is perfect!

Love you all,

Gressa, Billy, Mikayla and Seth

As of yesterday afternoon they had not decided on a name yet. They were leaning towards Addison Sage Chartier! She was 5.5 ounces, 17.75 inches long and lots of dark hair!

I just want to add that I knew it was going to be a girl:) They waited to find out and already have a 3 1/2 year old Little boy so I knew they wanted a girl! I know every pregnancy id different but her pregnancy with Jaden was very similar to mine with Seth and then this last one was very similar to my one with Mikayla! I am so excited for them and can't wait for her to join the monsters already running around! The 4 of them are going to be such great friends:)
