The Gray Family: Latest Project

Here is my latest project. If I have been a little hard to reach this last week this is why:

Close Up

I made this quilt for my sister-in-law Erin & her beautiful baby girl, Ellie Marie. Ellie's room has a pink & brown theme & I couldn't believe I found these great fabrics to go with it. And no- we didn't mean to match the quilt- pretty funny though!

Kid Quotes

4/13 Calvin saying all of our names, "Dada, Mama, Am, Nana, Ca-Ca, Ca-Ca." Now he says, "Cal-m," for Calvin.

6/13 Anytime Calvin is sad or wanting my attention he says, "weed a wuve," meaning, need a love. He then gives me a big hug and pats my back.

4/13 "Todds and Shones," Calvin asking for the ipod and phone to play on.

11/12 I told Camille we had to go the grocery store to buy a turkey for thanksgiving. She asked, "what store has turkeys?" Me, "Cub Foods (our normal store)." Camille, "I didn't know Cub Foods has turkeys." Me, "well they are frozen turkeys." Camille after thinking a minute, "I don't think the turkeys like to be frozen." Me, "well, honey, they are dead turkeys so they don't care." Camille, "I don't like turkey. I'm not going to eat turkey for thanksgiving." Me, "no, you like turkey. It tastes like chicken." Camille thinking some more, "Because they eat chicken?" Me, "No, no, the turkey doesn't eat chicken. It just tastes like chicken." Camille, "Oh." She couldn't wait to see the frozen turkey.

10/12 Camille, "Mom, can you tuck me in like a Dorrito?" Me, "You mean a burrito?" Camille, "No, a Dorrito. They're yummy."

5/12 This one is from me after listening to a visiting General Authority from Utah, "Where do Utahans get the "t" in Wilt-son (or Nelt-son) from? From their moun'ains."

4/12 Camille, "How do I grow up to be a princess like Cinderella?" She asks this at least once a day.

10/20/11 Camille while having a fit and crying, "I don't want to be happy, I want to be crying." That about sums her up:)

3/3/11 Adam while looking at Calvin, "He looks like someone I know, but forgot."

2/25/11 Anna: "What's a stay?" Me: "A what?" Anna: "A stay, like when we pray." Me: "What?" Anna: "Please bless this stay." Me: "Oh, you mean day." (The really funny thing is that she's been saying this in almost every prayer for years.)

11/29/10 Adam: "Do you know what an encyclopedia is?" Anna: "What?" Adam: "It's what they had before Google."

11/27/10 Anna to Adam while playing house: "Adam, I'm getting that feeling again..." Adam: "What feeling?" Anna: "I'm going to have another baby." Adam: "Oh no!"

10/8/10 Camille while we were viewing stars, "Ju-pi-ter, Ju-pi-ter, WOW. Itz cool."

10/8/10 Anna, "Mom my mole teeth are hurting." She's getting some new molars!

4/28/10 Anna, "Mom when I grow up I want to be just like you. I want to be a mom and a teacher."

4/26/10 Adam feeling sick, "My stomach is all squeeze-y inside."

1/31/10 Adam: "Want to know why I don't want be a doctor when I grow up?"

Me: "Why?"

Adam: "Because they have to know the names of all the bones in the body. When you're a baby there are more than 300 and when you grow up there are more than 200. There are 206- I think."

(He learned about the body at school last year and could still remember how many bones are in the human body- 206!)

1/30/10 Anna while playing house, "Let's make this nice and filthy... Mom, what does filthy mean?"

11/10/09 Anna to Adam: "Does your head feel wooden?" Adam: "What? No." Anna: "My head feels wooden and broken."

11/09 Camille: "Mama, Mama!" She says a number of "words" but I have been waiting for that one! Her first word was "Uh-Oh".

3/09 Adam: "It's to bad I can't marry Camille because she so cute."

2/20/09 Anna to Camille: "You're the most special baby. You're the pretty baby in the world."

1/09 Anna referring to Camille: "Mom, how long are we going to keep her?"

1/09 We just finished moving Anna into Adam's room to make room for Camille. Adam: "When we have another baby after this one, we can sleep in a tent!" I guess he was thinking there are no more beds left so he'd have to give his up.

10/08 Anna: "Mom, I just saw a scary crow!" (I guess some scarecrows are pretty scary:)

6/7/08 The kids spent the night at Grandma & Grandpa's. When they woke up in the morning Grandpa wasn't there and Grandma had them guess where he went. Adam said, "Oh I know, he went golf balling!" He was right.

5/18/08 Adam: "Mom, when I grow up big and get married I will miss you too much!" I'll have to remind him of that when he is older.

4/21/08 We got to preschool today and Adam asked, "Mom, are we late?" in a panicky voice. I said, "No, we are early." He responded, "What is early?" I guess we'll have to work on that:)

3/22/08 We had our Easter egg hunt today. After we finished finding all the eggs Anna said, "Let's try that again."

11/3/07 Today I put pig tails in Anna's hair. She was so proud of them she kept calling them her, "pretty tails."

4/07 Adam just learned to put on his seat belt by himself and said, "All I need to do now is learn to drive the car."

11/06 On a cold winter day Adam could see his breath and said, "Mom, there's smoke coming out of my head!"
