Cynthia & Garrett Family: 1 Silly Boys and 4 Happy Jacob's

Jonathan and Gabe are laying inside our closet....Interesting!

Jacob's had ear infections and has been teething. While I was getting things done, these two darling men fell asleep together.

Jacob at Grandma's house!

Jacob in the tub (look at the smile and then imagine taking him out of the tub ;{

He knows what toys his brothers love - Gabe was sleeping and Jonathan was at school, so he knew he had a monopoly on the toys. YEEHAW!

Quotable Quotes

Gabe's Sunbeam class combined with mine Sunday so I got to teach him how to pray. Monday, for Family Home Evening, he taught what he learned to his brothers. He told them that when you pray, you fold your arms, close your eyes, and "bend over." Then, he demonstrated by doing a bow that resembled the ones from The King and I....cute.
Our neighbor came over and was teaching Jonathan how to play basketball. "If you shoot from here, you get two points. If you shoot from here, you get three points. If you run with the ball, you're traveling." A little while later, I watched as Gabe and Jonathan walked around arm in arm, while the neighbor shot baskets. Jonathan explained, "He shoots the baskets, and we're the travelers."
I've been teaching the kids to follow last month's Friend article on studying the scriptures, so we start our scripture study with a prayer to help us "understand" the scriptures - which is a hard word for little boys. Today, Jonathan said, "Please help us 'stand' the scriptures!"
