Football is...

We were talking about football this morning at breakfast time and Madisen said, "I don't understand football. All it is, is a bunch of guys running around hating each other.... and the first rule of the game is don't get killed."

Parethood

The bus driver who takes Emily to school just made my day. She told me that she can tell that our girls really love and look out for each other and that we must be great parents. That is so nice to hear as I sometimes feel like a failure of a mom! But I am so proud of my girls and the way they treat each other. I hope Ryan and I have been good examples of loving parents to them. I hope they always remain close and  good friends. Especially when my own mom is so amazing!

Baptism for the Dead.

This morning as we finished up our family meeting with a song, prayer and spiritual thoughts for the day Madisen asked how do you could baptize someone if they are already dead? Avery spoke up real quick and said, "I know! You throw their dead body into the water and they get baptized!"

I busted up laughing so hard. I know I shouldn't have, but it was so funny. Then we talked about having respect for the dead and how you take upon yourself the name of someone that has passed on and do the work for them.
