Bragging rights

Yes, I deserve bragging rights. here goes.

At church Brayden gets TONS of treats from his teachers. We encourage him to share but ultimately it is his decision. Today he got a big delicious brownie. He offers some to each person and after my bite I tell him this is one of dads FAVORITE treats so of course he is so excited to share some with daddy. However, it is fast sunday and daddy tells him he would love some but he is fasting. So Brayden goes home, saves a bite for dad, puts it in a ziplock bag with a paper that says "to dad, from brayden, You can eat this tomorrow" WHAT A SWEET thing to do! (and this is not the first time he has done things like this)

In Fast and testimony meeting a woman is baring her testimony and starts to cry. A boy sitting on his dads lap,same age as Logan, asks "why is she crying?" Logan turns and says in a reverent but loud enough for the boy to hear him voice says "she's feeling the spirit"...exactly:)

20 questions...more like a THOUSAND! :)

I'm sure most go through this game with their kids on a daily basis, we DEFINITELY are with each child. And we try to think that SOME day they might not want to talk to us so we should EAT this up, but sometimes silence just sounds SO APPEALING! :) Anyway, it is funny when they Realize they are doing it.

Justin took Logan and Connor to walk around the Temple one day and Logan has started the game and is asking some really deep, good (some not so deep) questions when he stops and asks, "Daddy? Why do I ask you SO MANY QUESTIONS?" HAHA! Now THAT'S a good question! :)

Willing to admit it....:)

Logan comes over to me as we are playing in the park and says, "Mom, You have big feet" And my response was, "Logan, you have a big bum." Logan says "ya I do, and I have a big head too." I'm just glad he's willing to admit the truth with confidence. I couldn't help but laugh out loud. :)

Logan, you're perfect size! I LOVE YOU!

See any similarities??










My kids are watching Sesame street one day and make the assumption that Elmo MUST be a dad. I tell them he's not and ask them why they think he is. They reply that he MUST be a dad because he has hair ALL OVER HIS BODY. Just like a daddy.
Everything about being a dad is exciting to them, it is Precious! They constantly look for signs of becoming a dad themselves, like noticing hair on their arms and legs.

voice in the back seat

So we head to "town" early one morning. (going to Mesa from Maricopa) The sky was absolutely BEAUTIFUL with the sun peaking out of the clouds. It was magnificent! We are singing to the music and trying to answer all of Braydens MILLION questions when we hear coming from the very back seat Logan say "LOOK mom and dad, it's the POWER OF JESUS!!"
well, It is the power of Jesus :)

It's our life




I have not been motivated to begin life in the blogging world because it seems so many out there are written for an audience. I am solely interested in keeping a family record. Something our little family can look back on and enjoy reading and reliving memories. SO HERE GOES...
