When we were down in Utah we were able to go and see the Joseph Smith movie at Temple Square, it was so good. During the movie Emree and I had this conversation:
Me: Emree do you know who that is?
E: Nope
M: Joseph Smith
E: Incredulously, "Like the one in my nursery book?!"
M: Yep
E: Mom then he goes into the forest and he sees Jesus Christ.
M: Yep you are right
Then after the first vision is portrayed she says, " See Mom I told you he saw Jesus Christ!"
Ahh the faith of a child. And she is learning something we are teaching her, at least what the nursery leaders are teaching. Their little minds soak up so much more than we think, gives me hope and is a little frightening at the same time.
I truly can't believe everything that the early saints went through especially the prophet. The older kids thought it was kind of scary because they showed the mob tar and feathering Joseph, which was awful! How thankful I am for the perserverance and faith in sticking to the truth no matter what came upon them. What power and faith they had, if only I can have a portion of that is my goal!

Brooklyn or Emree?
Just thought you all might like to see how much Brooklyn and Emree look alike, its kind of scary actually! Especially that Emree wears all the clothes that Brooklyn used to wear, I better make sure I get the right name to the right picture in the scrapbooks...well photo albums anyway. This is Brooklyn when she was 10 months old!
First day of School!
My Pride and Joy!
Next to my kids this is my pride and joy, I love working in the garden! Chas likes it too, he doesn't have to weed! Actually he always takes care of the kids while I spend time there. It's so nice!
Funny Story 1
Well I haveto share this funny story about Brooklyn. There is a little girl in our primary who got her appendix out shortly after she was baptized and showed Brooklyn her scar, so here is Brooklyn's conversation with me the other day.
Brooklyn: "Mom I don't think I want to get baptized."
Me: "Why not?"
Brook: "It's too scary."
And I'm thinking she loves the water, what is the problem?
Me: "Whats scary about it?"
Brook: "I don't want to go to the hospital and be cut open after I am baptized."
I started laughing!!! "You think everyone has to be cut open after they get baptized?"
Brook: yes, Jenny did and she even showed me her scar.
So I had to explain to her that that was not part of getting baptized, it just happened that it was close to the same time with Jenny. I thought it was so hilarious, you never know what your kids are actually thinking!!
What a handsome boy!
Achoo!
Emree right before a sneeze~
Something"s funny!

It is so true how much their little minds soak up. I always have to watch what I tell them because they never forget either :)
