Still reading...

OK, I finished "New Moon" the other day. Still good, but it got a little cheesy. I kind of just want Jacob to go away, I think he is annoying. Unfortunately, by the end of "New Moon" Bella started to bug me as well. Hopefully there will be a little more action in the third one, "Eclipse," I think it comes out next month.

Twilight

I just finished the book "Twilight" by Stephanie Meyer and I loved it. I think I might be the last person to read this book, because everyone has been telling me how good it is. I could not put it down. I read it in two days and can't wait to start the next book in the series.

Funny Conversation

This is how a little conversation between Brad and Abbie went this morning.....

Abbie: "Dad, what's this called on your head again?" (pointing to his forehead)
Brad: "That's my forehead"
Abbie: "What's a forehead good for, anyway?"
Brad: "It's just part of your head"
Abbie: "But, what is it good for? Why is it there?"
Brad: "It holds our brain inside of our head."
Abbie: (In her best "duh Dad" tone) "How can it hold our brain if it doesn't have any hands?"
Brad and Jaime: Lots of laughing
Brad: "You know, just how a bowl holds your cereal in the morning, but it doesn't have any hands either."
Abbie: "But, Dad, it has a spoon."

I love kids, they make for the best conversations. The other day Abbie asked me how the baby was going to get out of my tummy. (YIKES) I just said that the doctor will take it out. Luckily, she just took that answer as good enough, for now.

Blog Catch Up

I haven't been feeling the greatest lately, so I haven't been posting what we've been up to. Here is a quick catch up on a few things that have been going on. I hope everyone had a great 4th of July!

While Brad's mom was here, we went and hiked to Bridal Veil Falls in the Provo Canyon. It's just a little hike, great for the girls and lots of shady spots of grass for a picnic. We took dinner and had a great time. (Yes, my girls hiked in skirts, they are obsessed with skirts right now, they want to wear one every day)

4th of July!!!

We went to a swim and BBQ over at Aunt Lisa's sister's house. It was so sweet for them to invite us and we had a blast. Really good food and my girls must have been in the pool for 2 1/2 hours. They were so exhausted that they feel asleep at 7:30 and we missed going back for fireworks. Not too sad though, Brad and I were just as wiped out.

How many kids can fit in a pool? Abbie and Lillie loved having so many

kids around.

After baths last night, Abbie found some star stickers in her room and decided that Brad needed some decorations. So, her and Lillie made him so pretty! There were even stickers all over the top and back of his head. They take such good care of their Daddy.

Party of Five!!!!

The Randall Family is about to grow (and so am I)! I am expecting our THIRD child. I'm due at the beginning of February and excited, but really nervous for Brad and I to be outnumbered by our children (scary thought). Someone told us the other day that our defense will have to change from man-to-man, to zone. Brad thought that was pretty funny. I won't find out what we're having for a little while, but I'll keep you posted.

Well, the impossible has been accomplished...Lillie is potty-trained (pretty much). Last week Brad's mom was here visiting and took Abbie on a date all day Thursday while I tried to potty-train my VERY independent and strong willed 2 1/2 year old. Potty training by itself is no picnic, but doing it with her personality tested every reserve of patience that I had. She is such a sweetheart, and I know that her tenacity is a good thing, especially as she gets older and goes out into the world, but right now it is a daily battle. Brad loves to remind me that she is just like her mom (don't husbands do the best job of pointing those things out...what would we do without them). Anyway, long story short, after those first horrible days, she is now doing so great. All the mom's out there doing the potty thing right now, I feel for you...you can do it!

Trip to AZ

I feel like I haven't posted forever. Over Father's Day weekend we drove down to AZ and met my family for our annual camping trip. It was so much fun. Abbie and Lillie LOVED being dirty the whole time. They also had a great time playing with their cousins. Then Brad flew home and I stayed the rest of that week. It was great being able to hang out with friends and family, and especially great going swimming every single day. One night Jacque, Kimmy, and I (high school buds--missed you Ashley and Robyn) met for dinner. I love hanging with you girls! I forget how great it is to be with freinds who have known you forever. Speaking of that, I just got an email for the ten year high school reunion in October. Scary....I have been graduated from high school for 10 YEARS! Life goes by too fast.
