All I want....

"Dear Heavenly Father...
I'm sad. I don't have nothing...All I want is a Genevieve set for my birthday and a Hello Kitty Moobie for my birthday. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen"
-Sadie, age 3

My little preschooler uttered this prayer when we knelt for family prayer this evening. She whined out the first 3 sentences and quickly turned cheerful as she thought of the rest. Have we done something wrong?

Temple Visit

A couple of weeks ago at Stake Conference, the Washington D.C. Temple president, President Tingey, asked the parents of young children to bring their children to the temple. He encouraged us to teach our children that the temple is important to us and to instill in them a love for and a desire to attend the temple. So David and I planned a trip to take the little kiddies to see the temple for the coming Saturday. We picked up my nephew, Wyatt, on the way. The night before, David and I listened to this great General Conference talk which also invites us to bring our children to see the temple. After visiting the temple, we also road the Metro Train into D.C. to see the National Museum of Natural History.

This one is my favorite. The girls loved seeing the bride. They wanted to go talk to her. (Although, if we had let them, I'm sure they would have been shy).

That doll is real.

Pretend Mother's Day

Levi loves to play in Eliza and Sadie's room. Yesterday he scooted on his tummy and followed them back to their room. I followed Levi. I laid down on the bedroom floor and watched the kids play. The girl's decided to play "Mother's Day." They prepared play food at their play kitchen and they brought me breakfast in bed. They kept filling up plates and served them to me while I laid on my floor "bed."

I was laying on my side, my head resting on a pillow. My arm was bent, poistioning my hand near my face with my palm up. Levi crawled over to me. He laid his hand inside of mine and dropped a toy strawberry right inside. It was so cute. I don't know if he just happened to pick up the strawberry and he happened to crawl to me and happened to place his hand in mine and drop the berry? OR maybe he was paying attention to the game his big sisters were playing and he decided to bring me some food too. I like to think it was the latter but either way it was SOOO CUTE!
