Conversations

Here is a conversation between Brooklyn and Chas today.
"Brooklyn, how come you got so many math problems wrong? You need to take your time and get them done right. You're trying to hurry through and not double checking your work. Do you know why you should get all of these right?"

"Because you are my parent Dad."

I about cried I was laughing so hard. Chas is pretty much a math genius, who else knows how to figure out flow of water, and how to keep fish safe all by doing math calculations? But I thought it was HILARIOUS that Brooklyn could tap into that and think that was what he was referring to. In reality he was trying to get her to check her subtraction by doing the addition to see if her answer was right. I LOVE that she is getting older and is so much fun! (and her little sarcasm, she has such a personality!
Thanks for the laugh today, Brooklyn!

Classic! How fun that she's growing up and becoming a different kind of fun from the little girl with all the firsts (talking, walking, going to school, etc.) I'm experiencing the same thing. So fun to read about your awesome family.
I'll bet it's beautiful up there right now. And I have to say, I'm a little jealous about all the outside work you guys are doing with hauling your own wood and such. That work teaches such great lessons! I hope we're being creative enough about finding ways to teach those lessons to our boys. Thanks for your great examples!

that's so funny. Seems like at the end of the day, glen and I are sharing the silly things that ginger said that day to us.

Brooklyn or Emree?

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!

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!
