"About an hour

I was helping Garrett write in his journal yesterday.He told me to write, "My Mom and Dad got married in the Manti Temple." I did and then asked him, "for how long?" He said, "I don't know, about an hour, but I don't know, I wasn't born yet." I couldn't help but smile, though my smile is not nearly as cute as Garrett's as you can see. The answer I was looking for was: for all Eternity. Thanks be to God for His sealing power that binds me to Julie and to this boy and to each of my children forever. Johnny

Small town

I went to the bank on Thursday to do a deposit at the first drive-up window. I put my deposit in the drawer and the teller took them over to her station and then returned a minute later. She asked me if I had an account with them. I had my check book right there, so I tore out a deposit slip and put it in the drawer. She looked at it and told me that I needed to go to State Bank where my account was. I was at Zions. Well, there you have it. I am not sure what to say about myself. I told Julie. She thought that was pretty funny. At least the banks are only a block away from each other. Maybe that's why i got mixed up or because Julie usually does the deposit. Either way, I've got things straight in my head now. I'm just solving the world's problems, one at a time.

Can you count to 11 in spanish?

This is a conversation I overheard of Eric and Garrett. Eric said, "Mom can count more than us in spanish." Garrett said, "uno dos tres cuatro cinco seis siete ocho nueve diez." Eric said, proving his point, "Mom can count to 11."

I think Eric was more interested in being right than in his mother's counting ability.

Toilet Paper Joke

Looks Like Rain

Julie and I were getting Anna ready for bed and Eric called from the shower, "Mom, will you bring me my umbrella." Jason went and got it and took it to him. I was in the bathroom a minute or so later and heard Eric talking to himself, "It looks like it's starting to rain." I could then hear the shower water coming down on the open umbrella. If life ever gets boring, just have Eric come visit. He is clever, cheerful, sweet, and happy. We love him very much.
