Nathaniel
If he is not in my immediate view, he is either flushing toilet paper in the toilet (even sometimes attempting an entire roll), or else climbing on something (or maybe I should say everything).
Was introduced to Barney videos recently and talks about Barney all the time now.
Throws almost everything he can, just listen for him saying "catch" and something will come flying
Loves gargling water
Has a great vocabulary. Will repeat almost everything you say and can now say prayers with help. We even taught him to repeat "I am a child of God" (melts my heart everytime)
Matt
Gives awesome devotionals and very nice spiritual thoughts during scripture study. A couple weeks ago we had our ladder out because we had been using it to paint. It was on Matt's devotional day and he decided to stand on the ladder to give his devotional. Now he insists on having the ladder to give his devotionals. (try not to think: Rameumpton)
Here is part of a recent devotional transcript: "We do things and we can teach and share the gospel. We need to seek after those things. We need to do to many things like read scriptures and do many things. We need to go to stores if we don't have any food. We need to go to those stores if we need to. Now I'm going to read the scripture about Jesus and Heavenly Father and then we're going to talk about prayer and going to bed..."
Ashlie
Keeps me entertained while checking her science notebook. She is studying ocean animals and draws the animals with speech or thought bubbles to correspond with the animal facts.
Got to finally make the treat she has wanted for a very long time to make. Tropical fruit pizza
Madelyn
Is quick everyday to do her chores and school work so that she can have a computer turn and take care of her virtual horses and villages.
Actually wore pants instead of a skirt more than once in the last few months. They are loose fitting knit capris that are about as close to a skirt as pants can get, but they are pants.
Fills up my phone with pictures she takes. Some nice ones...
...some goofy ones...
and even some creepy ones...
Alia
Ran 4 miles in just over 28 minutes last week for one of her rowing workouts.
Writes in her journal almost everyday.
Has had an alligator on her head this year.
