Mikaya Makes us Laugh

(We have a nice man that makes the bread every Sunday for sacrament, to make sure a little girl who has food allergies doesn't have a reaction. Not only is that so nice for him to do, he makes THE best bread any of us has ever tasted. So, Mikaya always searches the tray and quickly finds the biggest piece to enjoy.)
(This conversation happened right before the sacrament was being passed, but a minute or so before it got around to us.)

Mikaya: Mmmm, it smells soooo good.

Curtis: What do we think about during the sacrament?

Mikaya: Jesus

Curtis: What did He do for us?

Mikaya: Made this bread.

Curtis: (Laughing) No, what did Jesus do for us?

Mikaya: He died....

Curtis: Then what?

Mikaya: Resurrected.

SOME NEWS!

Coral is going to BYU Idaho and is sooo excited to go! And.....we found out a couple of weeks ago that we are having a boy! Everyone is excited, especially Mikaya, who is very happy to still be the baby "girl" of the family. It seems to be very important to her (:

AVERY'S FIELD TRIP





Curtis was able to go on Avery's field trip with her to the aquarium. She was so happy to have him there.

VALENTINE'S DAY AND MIKAYA'S PRESCHOOL FIELD TRIP



Filling out Valentine's cards for school and preschool.


Making Valentine jigglers. (see polkadotcanar.blogspot.com for recipe under "Love of all Things Red")





I was able to go with Mikaya on her preschool field trip to the police station, to meet a woman police officer, and to see what the station, and the inside of a police car looks like. We went to the park for a picnic afterwards.

AVERY AND MIKAYA BEING CREATIVE










Avery earning money picking up leaves.


We are having fun redoing our stairs. I tore up the carpet because it was old, but I made a mess for Curtis and I to fix. The stairs had to be almost totally redone, but it has turned out to be a hard, but really fun project.
