Church Guys

While we may not be perfect, the boys keep us on track. Spencer is practicing reading a verse of scripture each night, and he does remarkably well. He is getting ready for the children's presentation in church this Sunday. He has a small speaking part (which Carson has also memorized--now we have an understudy!) and he is also the shortest member of a group of 4 or 5 kids to sing part of a song. In a Primary of about 200 kids, it is an honor to be chosen! It should be interesting and entertaining, as always.

I know it's tiny, but these are the boys in front of a stand-up temple facade that was used during the Pioneer trek.

Spencer is teaching a lesson about Jesus for family night. He did a good job! Carson listens with rapt attention when Spencer is talking!

At school every year there is a creativity contest called "Reflections." The kids are given a theme and then they can write a story, poem, draw/paint pictures, photographs, sculptures, etc. This year's theme is "Together We Can...." Spencer decided to take a picture of Carson and his friend and call it "Together We Can Build." This was his entry. I thought it turned out cute. I got the little aprons for 77 cents!

We have been working hard on potty training Carson. He has been lackadaisical for quite a while and I'm cracking down on him! The first day was terrible. The second was marvelous. This morning I put on his training undies and he said, "I hope they get hit by lightning." That seemed like a random statement, so I asked, "What? Who?" "The underwear!" he said. Yikes! What am I in for??
