Lucy's Fashion Sense

I don't know what has gotten into Lucy lately, but she seems to think that it is winter time, and that we do not live in So Cal! Last night we had a belated FHE and we were headed out to dinner and the movies, so I told the kids to go get ready and put their shoes on. Well, this is what Lucy came up with! I have to give her credit for originality.

"We're Singin' in the Rain!"

How many years bad luck when you open up your unbrella indoors?? I was getting something out of the hall closet today, when 2 important discoveries were made.

1-Lucy found her winter coat and decided that it was a good idea to wear it (now understand that it is over 100 degrees outside).

2-Isaac found the umbrella and discovered how to open and close it.

So they walked around the house with their winter garb, laughing as if it were the greatest thing ever. It was after they started scraping the walls that I removed it from their possession and hid it in another closet. Oh well, a few minutes of genuine fun, how can you beat that!?!

Silly Kids

After eating breakfast the other day, I sent the kids upstairs to get dressed. As I turned the corner to go upstairs, I hear Isaac say, "hey mom, come check us out!", and this is what I saw.

What silly kids I have!

Grandma:

Isaac and I made a little video for you to help you with adding a picture to your blog. I hope that it helps. We tried to email it to you but, I think it was too big.

Get well Eva!

Isaacs cousin Eva got hurt and broke her collar bone, so Isaac wanted to send her a little get-well message! Love you guys! We miss you like crazy!

Isaac and Lucy playing with Daddy's tools

Isaac and Lucy were playing with Duanes tools and they looked so cute, so I thought I would share!

Sunday, Primary, Closing Prayer

This last Sunday, Isaac was asked to give the Closing prayer in Primary. I had been mentioning it all week, and his reply was always, "Yeah!". Well when Sunday came around, I was asked to substitute teach for the 8-9 year old class. So it worked out well, I would be in Primary to help him if he needed it. Sharing time and music time went well, Isaac even got to go "fishing" for a song during music time, and he got to pick his favorite song (Book of Mormon Stories - especially the verse about Ammon). So when the time came for him to give the closing prayer, I figured, I would wait and see how he did, and if he got shy, I could jump up and go help him. So when they called him to give the prayer, he jumped up and said (more acurately, shouted) "I'M HERE!" So, he made his way up to the front and stepped up to the pulpit. He seemed to be doing fine, so I waited. We all closed our eyes, and everything was quiet ... then ... "DEAR HEAVENLY FATHER!" ... "OH! THAT WAS LOUD" ... (meanwhile, myself and all of the teachers were laughing (very quietly, mind) very hard). Then, in a slightly quieter voice, "Dear Heavenly Father ..... " and he finished the prayer. As funny as it was, I was so proud of him! He did it all by himself and he did really well too.
Oh, how I love these moments! They are too good not to share.
