Cynthia & Garrett Family: Happy Brithday Garrett!

Sunday, January 11, 2009

I haven't gotten Garrett's poem done yet, but we're going to celebrate his birthday tomorrow, so maybe I get an extra day....

He's been at work this whole weekend, so we are hoping to surprise him today. When he finishes work, this is what he'll find in his truck.

I hope that when he sees it.......he's still willing to come home.....We love you Garrett!

P.S. By the way, I've added some pictures to the entries Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday Eugene...

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!"
