Kids at family home evening... jk lol <')))><

Tonight we all ate dinner in the tree fort, and for family home evening learned about Adam and Eve. We thought it turned out to be a really fun lesson. The next day I heard Lilly telling Bella "...and I like Eve dollies and you like Adam dollies" Bella was in distress she did not want to have the Adam dolly, well some of those church lessons sink in and some you use to bug your sister with.

The girls love their new preschool it looks like so much fun that I want to go to preschool. They get to ride cool metal trikes and sing and dance to great kid music, paint, play with tables full of rice and beans they even have a little time each day learning about a Bible character. Today they came home and were telling me about baby Moses Bella said in a very serious and concerned tone"and the mamma put the baby Moses in a basket and put him in the river. THAT WAS NOT SAFE !". They sure come up with some funny things to say, and fresh new perspectives.

Toben was very happy about his very own big red sucker

The girls both went surfing with their dad who took them out on his shoulders and caught little waves with them. They both really enjoyed it and Bella asked to go again while we were packing up to go so her good daddy suited her up and took her out again.

Lilly and her cinderella dolly from a happy meal. The dolly goes everywhere with Lilly and that was truly the happiest meal she ever ate. As a mother I saw this darling dolly that my daughter loved and naturally next Saturday I wanted to get her the next one. Well much to her dismay it was the Prince Charming dolly or as Lilly would call it the little boy dolly. I handed it back to her and tried to introduce it in a fun way but no fooling her, "No I don't want that little boy dolly I don't like that dolly". Her immense disgust with that dolly was manifest through her actions of giving the dolly to her little brother Toben who is not allowed to touch anything in the house. Except of course food which he thoroughly enjoys. I love this shot of him trying to eat and drink at the same time, he usually wakes up very hungry.

Lilly and Bella cherry picking at Grandma and Grandpa's. They stood on top of the car and picked every last cherry in reach.

This pic has nothing to do with this week except that the girls have been asking to go to Utah multiple times a day, they really love everyone there.
