storytime.

isnt it crazy

when you see your kids and 

they reflect you...

and your spouse...

crazy how your kid can be both of you

in one tiny little person.

well this may not be good examples but i want to share

them anyway.

so
the other day...jesse was an angel...
he was sitting in his chair eating his vegetables so good
while i was making his sandwich.
well, he finished his vegetables and he saw a book on the table so he pulled it 
onto his tray and quietly read his book
until i came back into the room
when i brought the plate to his chair
he sweetly looked up at me
and said "whats this?"
i said "your sandwich"
he said "oh"...then proceeded to close his book and carefully return it to the table.
then i put the sandwich on his tray. and he said "kankyou"
{thats thank you}.
it was an incredibly pleasant experience
i could not believe what had just transpired!
-MARK!
{i could just imagine mark doing this as a child}
from what i hear...he was an angel of a child...perfection used to be of utmost importance :)!....but watch out for the teenage years!
i for one HATED books! you would not have caught me 
waiting patiently READING a BOOk!...especially with food coming my way! hahaha

let me now show you- Laura....

well,

the day before the example above was last sunday

and we stayed home from church {kids still sick}

we sat around eating our breakfast and we were live streaming

church {church on the way's service}

well everything was fine

and then they started prayer circles in the congregation.

so what happens for the internet and radio folks is someone on staff

comes on air to pray with you over the internet and radio.

well we were all just listening and eating and about 

1 minute into the prayer....jesse randomly bursts out

"AMEN!"....."Amen!"

we started rolling....

we did not even realize that he was paying attention

but apparently according to him they were done praying and

it was time for them to stop!

hahaha....blunt just like his mom!

oh man he has a lot to learn about his tongue!

ok now i have a video

to show you

of both kids.

last night jesse

just thought this was so

fun to do 

over and over...and over...and over

and over and over

oooh did i say over and over

again...

then it jumps to a different video of 

elle bending backwards {this is how

we got pot pie all over the dining room-from the previous post}

before i turned on the camera she

was actually touching the ornament.

by the way...jesse was trying to show me
the "B" at the end of the movie.
we are learning the ABC's...we take a new letter
to learn every couple of days.
and then we go around the house and find that letter everywhere...
and we draw it...put it on the fridge, etc.
its great but now every time we go anywhere....
he has to point out the letters that he recognizes....
LOUD and PROUD!....
