Day 4: Reading their Favorite Book

After Bracken has a book read to him a couple of times he usually has it memorized.  He often "reads" to Chandra and me.  Chandra loves it.  Some of their favorite books are the "Elephant and Piggie" books by Mo Willems.  They make all us laugh out loud almost every time we read them.  Chandra's little book is an "Old McDonald has a farm" pop up book that she likes to have me read to her before her nap.

Our favorite Elephant and Piggie books are:  Can I Play Too?, Should I Share My Ice Cream?, Watch Me Throw the Ball, We are in a Book, and  Are You Ready to Play Outside.

Day 3: Running and Playing

Field Trip to the Ambulance Shed

Day 2: Sleeping

Well, not asleep, but working on getting ready for bed. I'm glad I had my camera close by as he started saying his prayers last night.  They always melt my heart, and usually make me laugh a little too.

Chandra is not sleeping either.  Whenever I put her down for her nap she gets so excited to get her binky (because she can only have it at bedtime).  Then I snuggle her silky blanket around her face and when I say "I love you, Good night!" she closes her eyes tight and pretends like she's going to go right to sleep.  In reality I usually hear her jumping in her bed or making faces and noises in the mirror two minutes later.

What would you do...

Bracken and I were talking about when Lehi was praying and a pillar of fire appeared. I asked him, "What would you do if a pillar of fire came while you were praying?" He said "I would run..." I started to interrupt and say "me too" but he kept going, "and get a stick and a marshmallow and toast it in the fire."

I love the things he comes up with!

Day 1: You and your Children

I'm participating in a 30 day photography challenge.  Each day has a theme of some sort and we can take whatever picture we'd like that has to do with that theme. Today's theme was "You and your children."

 I broke out the tripod and used a self timer for the first picture.   Bracken volunteered (asked and asked) to take a picture for me.  He was very careful with my camera, and so proud that I let him try. He took the picture of Chandra and I.  I think he did an awesome job, don't you?
