Football

Three more months till football starts....anyone else counting down???!!! (I didn't realize we were until today!)

Miss K to Daddy: You play for the Steelers, right?

Daddy to Miss K: No, I wish I did, but they are my favorite team!

Mommy to Miss K: If he did, we'd already be retired!

(I'll keep dreaming!)

Thank You...

.....Miss Kait for being such an awesome helper with Jayson tonight! Daddy and I enjoyed watching you play with our little neighbor. We were reminded what a great big sister you will be if, or should I say when (as you remind us), you are blessed with siblings.

Family

We had a picnic in our front yard for FHE last night. Kaitlyn gave a great lesson (thanks Sis. Young!) on keeping the Sabbath day holy. Kaitlyn also requested we all share one joke (knock, knock is her favorite). During the giggling and silliness of the jokes, she looked at Trace and I and said, "It is so great to have a Mom and Dad!"

She melts my heart on a regular basis, but I'm always amazed at the profound statements she doesn't know she is making. In this crazy world we live in....it IS so great to have a Mom and a Dad!

Following the Compass

We've been using the Gospel Art kit in our family scripture reading to make the association and understanding of the story a little more real and personal for Kaitlyn. Last night we were reading about the Liahona. We discussed the purpose of the Liahona and the efficiency (how and why it worked and why it wouldn't work). To help apply the lesson to her, I asked Kaitlyn what types of "Liahona's" do we have in our lives? She mentioned scriptures, following the prophet, listening to our teachers. Trace and I mentioned listening to our Mom's and Dad's. Kaitlyn's response....

"That is so hard for a little girl to do!"
