Random Shots

My muv you

I think half of the kids now have recent posts titled I love you and yet they are all different. Today we were on our way to the movies because a friend of ours gave us three tickets. Brooklynn is at a pool party, so I only had five. Piece of cake, right? Well, we were running late and I was flustered. Then we got in the truck and no one wanted to sit in certain spots, Anderson threw a fit because Mara took the spot he wanted, and I was stressed. So as we drove out of the driveway I asked the kids not to talk to me - that I just needed to relax. Then Anderson says "Mommy" ..."Mommy." I said " What?" Then in his sweet two year old voice he said "My muv you." My bad mood melted and we headed off to the movies a bit happier. Well, Nannerman, My muv you too!

Snatch and Go

Dallen, Mara and I were reading Who's Your Hero. We were reading about Nephi and Anderson must have been aware of the story because as soon as I read the last page and turned the page to the Family Home Evening ideas, he nonchalantly walked by and snatched the book right out of my hands. I don't know how he had such impeccable timing - I guess he really wanted his turn to read it. He was so smooth I had to stop to come write about it.

I am brave

All summer long I have sat on the side lines watching the kids swim. Last time the family went swimming though I GOT IN! I went swimming in a big pool. That makes me a big boy.

I have arrived!

I am the only kid that didn't have my own blog only because I am too young to care. But once I see pictures of me and me repeating the Fiona doll I will be all about blogging. Anderson never let me take pictures of him before - he would always turn away. But the day I realized he was mocking Fiona and made such a big deal about it, things changed. Now he will randomly come up and hit me and say "Nother one. Camera." (When I filmed him I would ask him to do another one - another one of the phrases. ) Thus, a star is born - and a blog too - there will be no holding him down.
