Ellie is saying a few more words: Jared has taught her to say squeeze for a hug and tonight before she went to bed she wanted a "tweeze" from me!! Precious.
A few months ago Jared decided he was going to teach the kids the names of the First Presidency. They really did a good job learning them. Today we were in the car with Carter and Ellie. Here's the conversation:
Jared: Carter, who the President of the Church?
Carter: President Hinckley
J: No, remember he died? Where did he go?
C: He's in Heaven
J: That's right, and who's the new Prophet, who was the First Counselor?
C: Thomas S. Monson
J: and who was the 2nd counselor?
C: Henry dot com Eyrin
This made us laugh!! Where do kids come up with this stuff? Then we picked Hailey and Court up from school and Jared asked Hailey and Court these same questions.
Jared: Who is the President of the church?
H&C (silence)
Jared: Thomas....(waiting for them to remember)
H: Thomas Jefferson!!!
Jared: Thomas S. .......
Court: MONSON!!
Jared: Who is his first counselor?
H&C: (silence)
Jared: President......(waiting for an answer)
H: BUSH!!!
Too bad Hailey wasn't right, our country could use the First Counselor of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints as its President!!!
Then they remembered Henry B. Eyring!!
Then Jared told them that Elder Uchdorf was the new Second Counselor and they had fun trying to pronoun it!!
Can you tell what Hailey has been studying in 2nd Grade?? That's right, the Presidents of the United States of America.
On another note, here's what Court's been learning in KINDERGARTEN!! wOw and OOOPS!!
He really has learned so much this year. Even if he does mix up a few sounds here and there, or put an "e" where an "i" belongs. Six, Sex, what's the difference???

Did Court's teacher die laughing? That's SO funny!
Here's Anders latest-
Anders: Addie, did you know that God loves us?
Addie: Yeah.
Anders: Yeah, he does. Don't we have such a nice God?
Addie: YEAH! (She agrees with everything he says.)
Jessica that is way too funny what fun memories children help us make.
Maybe he meant that sex makes six kids?? Maybe its a sign :)
That is hillarious! I hope you save that page til he's sixteen! They learn so much in Kindergarten, don't they?
So cute! I love the stuff kids come up with. Here's mine:
Kayla: dad is it slow sunday?
mike: hu?
kayla: well if its not fast sunday then it must be slow sunday.
Ok and one more:
When she was younger she asked for a tish-me. When I saw her rubbing her nose I said "ohhh you mean a tissue."
"no mom - I need a tish for me not for you."
Katrina and Trish, love your stories!! Kids are so cute!!!
