 Mia knitted this adorable beanie from a kit she got from Grandma Donnie for Christmas. Not only that, but she taught herself how to do it by watching a tutorial video. I didn't help her at all. <3



I love Up and we did this cute puzzle from the movie, and then Mia drew a picture of Carl :) <3

Tessa:

We have been telling Tessa that if she gets potty trained, we will take her to Disneyland. We asked her what ride she wants to ride in Disneyland and she says, "I wanna ride the cup teas." (teacups)


Chris had a work conference, and I tagged along on a little trip to Austin, Texas. My mom and Dylan and Sammi all watched this kids while we were gone. When we got home I asked Tessa, 

Me: "Did Dylan and Sammi take good care of you?'

Tessa: "No. They didn't."

Me: "I'm sure they did."

Tessa: "No! They didn't!"

Me: "Did grandma and grandpa take good care of you?'

Tessa: "Yes! They cute! I want to babysit them next time."


Me: "Can you believe that Reesie is in school??"

Tessa: "Yep. I can't believe I not in school."

 

(When talking about her best friends in kindergarten and how she gives them hugs everyday over and over because they are her best friends.) 

Me: "Awww I wish I could be your best friend in kindergarten.

Reesie: "You're already something better. My mommy!"

 

Reesie:

Me: "What was your favorite thing that happened at school?"

Reese: " Umm snack time. Snack time, and break time, and water time."

 

Our conversation for the first few weeks after school

Me: "What did you learn in school?"

Reese: "Nothing." Then after a few days of this, "Nothing! I never learn anything. I just have fun!"

Rhett:

We were having our Come Follow Me family night one night and we were talking about spiritual gifts. We had went around to each family member and took turns having each family member say what spiritual gifts each family member had. It was a really sweet and tender family night, and after Rhett said, "I have a love for people in this home in a special place in my heart."
