Funny Kids

Kevin was trying to explain the whole resurrection thing to Kedrick. Kevin was telling him how they buried him in the tomb but on the third day he came out of the tomb. Kedrick looked at the picture (apparently focusing on the small tomb door size), paused and then responded with a puzzled look, "oh, did he used to be little?"


Kedrick has me "tell" him stories not "read" him stories every night. He is sure to make that clear. One night I asked him if he had any stories in his head to tell me. "Nope, they all fell out mom."

We had just dropped off a friend at the airport. We explained to Kedrick that the airplane would take her back to Texas.
Kedrick: Oh, is that close to heaven?
Kevin: Some people think so.

Brock LOVES love. He can't get enough snuggle time and kisses. I kiss their owies. We have caught Brock banging his head on things so he could come get a kiss all better! You'd think he was starved for affection. Anyhow, we told him he could just ask.

Brock's favorite activity as of late is to jump off anything screaming, "to infinity and beyond." I'm sure he has no idea where the phrase comes from but regardless it makes him feel like a superhero.

We are in sacrament meeting. It is quiet. They just start passing the bread. Brock belts out, "I want chicken!" I was a bit embarrased, a few too many trips through the drive-thru I guess. At least everyone around us got a good laugh.

And lastly for this edition, Brock's latest communication tip... When you really need to get some one's attention and add emphasis to what you are saying, get up as close as you can and with eyes focused on their lips, talk into their mouth. He likes to make sure the message he is trying to get across is internalized.

That door does look tiny. I'd never noticed before. Funny. Nicky says "to infinity and beyond" when she jumps off the couch too. Wonder where she got that from. Cute stories.

I can't even begin to say these are a breath of fresh air. Too too fun. Gracious.
