In The Life of Elie

Playing with my Ipod in Czar's kennel, silly crazy girl!

Playing at the mall. Keaton really tries to be helpful, it just doesn't seem to work out as being helpful sometimes.

This little monkey scares us to death with the things she tries to climb on. Check out her trick on Saturday, she is so proud of herself.

Shaustia had a four wheeler when she was a baby so I wanted to get one for Elie. She still has to get it all figured out but she likes it and tries tricks on it just like her big sister did. She can walk if she chooses to, she just usually doesn't choose to. I finally caught her doing it on video.

Elie and Keaton playing in their "fort" underneath the barstools.

Insights from Keaton

Most of the time Keaton says things like: That's a bunch of crap dad! Holy crap thats a lot! Hey Daddy foo foo? Holy macaroni! And such.

Then he has days like yesterday where he says things that just make you think. We were eating lunch and when we have lunch I usually sit on a barstool by him and let him have his talking time with Mom. He was telling me something about preschool I think, then he stopped for a minute. The next thing he said was "Heaven is a really sunny day." "Heaven is," I asked. "Yeah, up in the sky where Heavenly Father is," was Keaton's reply.
Later at dinner the kids were talking about their dreams. Austin told Keaton that he didn't remember his dreams last night. So Keaton said "Jesus didn't give you dreams last night?"
He's growing up and I can see that he is learning things and believing them too. I'm so grateful to be a Mom and witness the miracle of children and be a part of their love and joy.
