naughty sinners

I was working on letter recognition with Leah (because she wants to "do school" whenever Seth does) and I want her to associate the letter 'j' with Jesus. So I tried to say some primary doctrines to get her mind working. Eventually I said something to the effect of, "We are sinners and Jesus died on the cross to save us from our sins. Aren't we all sinners?" She turned and said in a very reprimanding voice, "Naughty sinners." I thought it was great, so I tried to re-stage it for the camera...

POINT PROVEN!

But! It all ended well!!

leaps and bounds

My baby keeps growing up.

This year I decided to start doing some school with Seth. I figured it would be a good opportunity to warm up to it. We wouldn't have to be super structured and I could get used to one more thing in the schedule slowly.

HE LOVES IT!!

Everyday he asks and asks, "When are we going to do school?" Then after we "do school," he wants to do more school. So far, he's been starting to read and learning to add, subtract, count money, skip count and tell time. So amazing!

This year he has also started Master Clubs at church. It's similar to Awana; the children memorize scriptures and complete activities to earn patches.

He has really enjoyed being in Mrs. Gord's Little Lambs class and looks forward to it each week. He was so excited when he finally got his vest "...like Riley and Ryan have in their closet at home." He had to wait patiently (and disappointedly) for the right size to come, but when he finally got it the child was the happiest I'd ever seen him. He's already earned his "God Made It All" patch.

Now I just need to sew it on for him!

a new do

family sing alongs

Every time we get in the car, I will here many rounds of "Jesus Loves Me" and "The B-I-B-L-E." Leah loves to sing in the car. She sings these songs over and over! However, she has just now started singing in her classes at church.

I love singing with Kyle too! He cracks me up. One day I was trying to see what was in his mouth and said, "Ahh, ahh, ahh," while trying to peek in his mouth and he started doing it back.

And now on to the important stuff...

shelby farms

September 14th

This was Kyle's first trip to Shelby Farms (the countries largest city park). Unfortunately, the playground has been torn down to make way for a new fancy playground. (Can't wait until it's finished.) So, we just walked down to Patriot Lake and back up for a while.
