I Pledga Legiance!!!


I just love my kids! This morning at breakfast Paige said, Mom, is this my right hand?" As she placed it over her heart she began reciting the pledge like they do every morning at school. " I pledga legiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the E fuvlic for which it stands, one nation, under God with liverty and justice for all. Will you please join me in thirty seconds of silence?" I said, " Paigey you know, during that thirty seconds of silence you can say a prayer, do you? she said no. I told them they could use that time to think about their day or say a prayer asking for help with school or making new friends. Karley said, "oh, that's what I do I pray that I do good in school, oh, and also I pray for Becky's kids." Karley is such a sweetie I gave her an air hug from across the table and told her that I loved her. She is so thoughtful and always reminds us to pray, have family home evening, and do scripture study. Sometimes we look at these youngin's like they've got so much to learn but then we're reminded that so do we!

"one republic for Richard Stands".thats what i thought it said. One of my fav. things about being a parent/uncle is these funny kids of ours.

Who's Richard Stands?!! You're so funny. It is really great, but sucks to think that they are all gonna grow up and stop saying these cute things! I know Mom always says "you better write that down" good advice.

All ahead of me still...one of the perks of being the late bloomer in the family department.

I completely enable my children's cutesy talk. It always makes me sad when they finally get it right.

Who can forget, "You're quishing my tarfighter" and "I blooped in my pooty".

I still say, "I blooped in my pootie." I forgot where I got that from. I'm getting old.
