Jesus is everywhere

Kaybree, I love that you recognize churches. You get really excited about going to church. Sometimes I use that to make you go to bed (I say things like "Tomorrow, we get to go to church!") That just makes me happy.

On Monday you noticed something on the side of Eisley's car seat. There's a safety warning and a drawing to show how to properly put your child in the seat--and Jesus is holding the baby!



It totally does look like Jesus.

I hope you never lose your love of the church. I also hope to contribute to your knowledge of the gospel. You learn so much from nursery about Jesus and Joseph Smith. I hope through our conversations you learn too about faith and prayer, tithing and baptism.

I hope you know that I know this church is true. I want to raise you in this church because I know how blessed I've been to be a member of it. I know I'm my happiest self when I'm doing all I can to follow the teachings of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I love you!

Update: Several weeks later we attended sacrament meeting where a man stood up to sing a musical number. His voice was beautiful so Kaybree stopped what she was doing and paid attention to the music. He had long shaggy hair and so Kaybree said "He's like Jesus!" And I gotta say, if Jesus sang, he probably did sound just like him.

Funny quotes

Kaybree: Yesterday I went to the farm with Amy and Tess and we saw baby goats! Me: Cool! Kaybree: Yeah, they were so cute. For Christmas, will you get me two baby goats? Me: Haha, no. Kaybree: Amy said you would! We love Vertuccio farms. We always get a season pass. You're not allowed to go with Amy anymore. We traded in all of your Halloween candy for some cash and went to Target and bought Shopkins. It was awesome! Apparently all the Shopkins have names so we sat around looking at all the Shopkins and looking up their names. This particular group fit a sports theme and came with a locker to keep them in. The locker has a face but it's not an actual Shopkins so it does not have a name. I told you this and you said "Why didn't Jesus give him a name?!" I laughed for a long time. Added Nov. 16: I felt bad originally posting this because I didn't have any quotes from Eisley. It's not that you're not funny too, you just usually make...

The cycle

I'm stuck with this constant decision: Give a punishment even though I know it won't work or ignore the problem completely even though I know the result will not be good. It's always about school. For whatever reason you seem to give up when it comes to school. When asked, you are fully committed. But when a challenge comes up, like a teacher you don't quite connect with, you give up. You decide to sleep instead of work. You know it's a mistake. You know you have already failed enough classes to require you to take an additional year of high school (at least). And yet, any time I offer assistance you act like I have no trust in you and you push me away. I don't have any trust when it comes to your school work. You haven't earned it. But I still have hope. I believe you have the capacity. I believe if you apply yourself you could go far. But you don't. And I can't make you. Yesterday you were sent home from school for sleeping in class and giving a...

He makes homemade soup when I’m sick He takes care of our kids on his own without complaint He insists on me going back to bed when he knows I had a long night He’s sexy and confident in his career He serves me quietly as simply as hitting the seat warmer on for me on a cold night He takes care of his body and seeks for improvement He honors my desires to better myself He pushes me to want more He sets his own wishes aside for mine He calms my anxiety He reminds me of my priorities He seeks out time with me He loves learning He teaches patiently He builds up our girls He makes us all laugh He loves me continually
