Joel and His First Primary Program

I love Joel and his little personality. It makes for some entertaining and sometimes slightly embarrassing moments. This last Sunday was Joel's first primary program and we got the part he was supposed to say a couple weeks ago. Joel's part was "Jesus Christ created the land." 
We went and practiced it and even made a Lego microphone to practice talking in. Well, I think we practiced it a little too soon and Joel got a little bored with it. He thought he needed to add some things to it. It started out with "Jesus Christ created the land for diggers." We really did work on saying the right thing but it soon evolved into "Jesus Christ created the land for tower cranes." (tower cranes are the great big cranes used to build skyscrapers). So I though we had our part down the right way. At the practice he said it the right way. 
So we get to his part in the program during sacrament meeting (there were 103 kids participating in our ward) and sure enough, he gets up there as proud as can be with a big smile on his face and says "Jesus Christ created the land for tower cranes."  I don't know how many people even caught what he said because he said it so fluently --- like he had been practicing it for years. But, I sure heard what he said! And yes, it was kinda funny and our bench was shaking just a little as we were all laughing! Can't wait to see what we add in next year!

Lilah at 4 weeks + the outtakes!

Mike was home on Sunday and so we attempted to take the ever impossible sibling pictures. I think they are called impossible for a reason! The outtakes were far more funny than the real pictures. So, here are some of the outtakes that show the fun of sibling pictures!

Joel picking his nose

 Dog Pile!

 Lilah's face wondering who these hooligans are!

 This girl can spit!

 "Hi Mom -- I'm here!"

Now for the real pictures! We did manage to get one or two that turned out good enough! We think Lilah is just the cutest thing ever and the boys are enjoying giving her hugs and kisses. Joel lays down and talks to her about all the things that he is doing and Conner will give her kisses when she is crying. It's nice to know that they may just all be friends at some point!
