Jesus and Cake

So if you will remember a few posts ago, I told you about a lady from our ward we had over for her birthday. Well, we went to Noah's parent teacher conference tonight, and his teacher told us she had to tell us a story before we got started. This is a conversation between Noah and a classmate named Jacob. Mrs. Nelson just listened in.

Noah: We are having over someone VERY special from our church tonight, and we get to have Chocolate cake.

Jacob: Is it Jesus?

Noah: No Jacob, Jesus is way to busy to eat cake.

I guess I won't plan on Jesus stopping by for any cake on my birthday next week!

Hope it gave you all a giggle. Noah's teacher said the boys couldn't understand why she couldn't stop laughing.

Thursday

Big Boy on the Potty!

Deeken has started going #2 on the potty! Micah and Noah sing songs and throw little parties every time he goes. We are so proud of him and only hope that it continues.

Tuesday

My Kids!

We don't have grape juice in our house without John making fun of me for my juice mustache after. I have tried to learn how to drink it without getting one, but it seriously takes a lot of effort!
So these must be my kids! I never really doubted it, but it's nice to be reassured.

Monday

A funny, Special Lady!

She is quite the character, but once you get to know here, you can't help but be grateful you know her. The first time John and I came to our ward in Oregon, she just kept stareing at us. I should say she kept looking at Micah who was a brand new baby then. John and I didn't know what to think of her. As time went on we would set Micah in her car-seat out in the aisle so we had more room. Beth Ann would just walk by and pick up the whole car-seat and take her to wherever she was sitting!

She is a wonderful person, who seems to always be willing to serve. She helps with every new baby she can get her hands on. She never married and doesn't have kids of her own, so she gives her love to all the little ones who will accept it.

We are so happy to have met her and become friends with "Sister Freeburn" as the kids call her. We had a great time celebrating her birthday with her. We hope we are around for her next one!

We love you Beth Ann!

Friday

A VERY Nice Surprise!

I hadn't gotten to see Brenley since she was here in September and got to throw her a baby shower. She surprised me by coming with her husband and little guy McCoy. It is a long story, and I won't tell it all but it does have a part where I got very excited and said, Oh my Heck!" really loud in the chapel right before church started.

It was so great to see her! I hope/wish she moves back soon!

Love ya Bren!

Thursday

HOME AGAIN!

HOME AGAIN, HOME AGAIN, JIGGITY JOG!
WOULD HAVE GONE TO LONDON, BUT IT WASN'T ON THE WAY TO KENTUCKY, MISSOURI, OR TEXAS!

My parents will finally make it home from their mission today. They have been visiting all of my brothers and their families in the before mentioned states, they will end now in Utah with my brother Brian. SO EXCITING!

I wish I could be there, but I get to wait 20 more days till I can get them all to myself, I guess I will share with my kids!

Anyway Welcome home Mom and Dad, you are definitely returning with HONOR!

WE LOVE YOU!

Micah loves her Daddy!

Mine and Micah's conversation yesterday:

Me: Micah, I like you.

Micah: I like you too, mom.

Me: I like you a lot Micah!

Micah: I don't like you a lot mom! Because I like Daddy more than you, so I like him A LOT!
