Landon Photoshoot

Hey, guys!
So let me introduce to you our little neighbor, Landon (aka Boo). 
He is SO cute and says the cutest things! Sometimes they just come over to play and, let me
tell ya, THIS guy is super photogenic! I mean he's only two! And he's 
really sweet.

Little ones seem to always have
that curiosity about life that just is so cute sometimes! And as many of you know,
I have many little siblings. ;) So here are some of the "Cute Sayings" that I've collected from my little
siblings, Micah and Sam. Enjoy! :)

Having a normal conversation at breakfast:
Dad: (having mentioned the day before that he was going to go have
 a meeting with some of the church elders the following day) "...so I 
should be back by supper."

Micah: "Oh, are you going to go see the 'olders' today?" 

Dad: (chuckles) "Yes, Micah. But they're called elders."



Sam, massaging Mom for a piece of candy:
Sam: (just finished) "Whew!" (get's distracted)
Mom: "Sam, go get your sucker!" 
Sam: (surprised he forgot) "Oh! Okay Mom, whatever you say!"

Mom: "Pshhhk! Only when it has to do with candy."



Mom: (just hanging up from leaving a voice mail on the phone)

Micah: "Hey Mom? Why didn't you let the other person talk?"


Haha, love that one. ;)

Mom was excercising in the morning when Sam came down and wanted to watch a movie:
Sam: (sleepy) "Mom, can I watch a movie?"
Mom: "No, but you can excercise with me!"
Sam: (pondering as he looks at the TV screen of the people excercising) 
"Ummmm, no. I think I'm too short."



Shoe shopping at target:
Micah: (excited) "Mom, mom!" (brings up small sparkly pink shoes) "These would be PERFECT for Sam!...'cept he's a boy." (looks dissapointed and puts shoes back)



Eating corn on the cob at the dinner table:
Mom: "Eat all of the food you take, guys."
Sam: (already ate his corn on the cob, looks down at his corncob with a look of worry) "Even the STICK part???!!!


This guy has some amazing eyes. I can't believe how complex God 
made the eye. Each pair so different and intriguing!





I told you he was photogenic! :-P








"Peace, man!" ;)


Buddies. <3


..GOSH, I want his eyes!


Cutie!














"You knit me together in my mother's womb; I praise You, for
I am fearfully and wonderfully made!"
Psalms





It's funny, cause this is a little "kiddie" song. But we could
all learn from the message.
Now, there's a second verse that's also really cool, but I 
don't remember it! :)

Does the clay ever say to the Potter, "Tell me, why have You made me this way?
For my sides are all thinning, I'm tired of spinning around and around every day!"
Does the clay ever say to the Potter, "I'm afraid that I just don't agree! 
For so often I feel that life on this wheel is not all it's cracked up to be."

It seems rather strange to imagine that my life is also like clay.
Until I remember that God formed my members and made me in His special way.
So instead of a life of complaining about things that I don't understand, 
I will simply be grateful that my God is faithful to finish the work He began!

--Children's Institute "The Potter and the clay" song.


I love the words to this song. And what great theology!

4th of July car show!

Okay, so I know I'm a little late on posting this, but we have been super super busy working to raise money for our youth mission trip to China (see details here). 

On July 4th, we went to a church car show! It was pretty cool and I was 
really excited about taking pictures of the antique cars. Well, when we got there I realized that all
of the cars had their hoods up so that people could see the engines and stuff. :/
I did my best to take neat pictures and on my favorite car, (the red Chevy) I asked the owner to shut the 
hood while I took the photos and he did. :) 

I hope y'all enjoy and don't forget to leave comments! ;) Thanks!









































 















Yeah, by now you can tell what my favorite car was. ;)














All that engine stuff for engine geek people. :)





"Look, Hunny! Our new car!!" NOT, lol. :)








This car was absolutely AWESOME!

Getting ready for the drawing. (those who entered the drawing had to stand out 
there for like an hour while they handed out certificates to the 
people who brought the antique cars before they actually DREW) 

This kid was the CUTEST little boy!!!
