Things that make me smile...

The other night, as Matt & I were upstairs getting the boys ready for bed, Abbie came up with a note in her hand (her mouth was full of mouthwash). This is what it said...

And, of course, Annie had to have her own reply...

Obviously, sibling rivalry is going strong in this house....I would have done something about it...if I wasn't laughing so hard about the notes!! :)

Did you know Samuel the Lamanite drives a John Deere?

Is this news to you?....it's news to me!! But, as Parker was playing with his "quiet toys" in church on Sunday, I laughed a bit to myself when I looked over & saw Parker having Samuel the Lamanite driving a line-up of several John Deere toys!! He was having a ball & I just giggled away!! Parker is at a really fun stage right now...probably one of my favorites! With the girls starting school, he's become my little buddy. We will sit down & read several books (Robert the Rose Horse is one of his favorites right now) on the couch together. He loves to be my "helper" by pushing wet clothes into the dryer, or sitting on the counter while I work on putting dinner together. Almost every morning he asks if we are going to "some stores"....like the "Cookie Store" (aka Wal-mart) or the "Popcorn Store" (aka Target) and he's just says the cutest things. Lately, I'll say, "Parker, I love you" and he'll reply with "no, no, no...I love you, Mom" and we'll just go back & forth until we are both giggling! He's our handsome devil and one of my most favorite boys in the whole world! I love you, Parks!
