Kaitlyn Gives a Talk at Church

Kaitlyn had to give a talk in church today. She wrote it all by herself she sat right next tome last night and announced. "OK Mom type exactly what I say and then you have to stand up there next to me and read it to me. In my ear so I can say it in the microphone and make sure you bring the computer to church."

I explained that after she told me exactly what to right we could print it up on the printer so we didn't have to take the computer with us once she agreed she started dictating. This is her talk word for word below.

It was delivered exactly the way she wanted to. She was so excited about the message she had to share and she wanted to make sure she was able to share it. I am so proud of her and her desire to help in primary whenever she can. She really wanted her talk to be about Jesus and how much she loves him and he loves us. and everybody. I think she did a great job. When we showed it to her Dad he was not allowed to edit or change it in anyway because it was all Kaitlyn's feelings. (I think that was hard for him but he did it)

When it was time for her to get up and give her talk she walked right up to the pulpit and waited for me to get there too. When I got there I asked her if she would like to leave her coat on or take it off for her talk. She took the coat off and we began delivering her talk.

I know Jesus loves me.

And I know he loves everybody and he is super nice.

He loves everybody in the whole world and I love him very much.

And I know he loves you. He died for us so we can live with him again forever.

I know that we can live again because he died and three days later he was resurrected and Because of that we will all be resurrected too.

If we keep the commandments and get baptized we make

a promise to Jesus and Heavenly Father and the Angels.

And I know the holy ghost and and the the Heavenly People are nice and they love us very

much.

So lets all be obedient to the commandments so we can see and live with Him again.

In the name of Jesus Christ Amen

I am so proud of her.

3 -2 -11 Skyler Turns One Today

Skyler's first year of life was full of all the things life can throw at a family. He has been such a wonderful blessing and delight in our little family. We love him so much.

He just started crawling full time about three weeks ago. Prior to this he would use his arms and pull the rest of his little body forward almost a little like a frog's leap.
He has always been the strongest little guy. He can hold his legs straight back with his back tight like a little gymnast.
He loves to play with balls. If there is a ball in the room he is heading for it.

He is a good eater and loves to sleep. He loves to play in the water with his sisters.

He is all boy and the perfect little completion to our family. Happy Birthday Skyler.
