Why Heavenly Father Said to Be Childlike.

Mel had to cook dinner for a school assignment. He was very excited about it. After we sat down to eat Mel asked"What do you guys say"(I'm glad we have taught him manners). We all told him thank you. After I was done eating Allie and Mel stayed at the table talking. The next thing I hear is Allie say "Mel you are a good cook, that's why I Love you." Mel than said "like a brother". Then Allie said "Mel your a child of God". Later in there conversation Allie told Mel that she would be very sad if he every died because than she wouldn't have anyone to play with. That conversation right there makes being a mom the GREATEST BLESSING on earth. Not saying they always talk so sweet.(About 10 minutes later Allie came crying to me saying, Avery was trying to bite her). That's when I remembered we are spiritually beings here on earth to have a earthly experience. Hope this all make sense.

That is so sweet. It amazes me the strength and knowledge of children. They always seem to have it so more simple and put-together than we ever do! I love their testimonies, they strengthen mine so much!

Doesnt it just make you feel good to know that you are teaching your kids right. They don't come up with this stuff on their own. It made my day to read this. I hope that I can teach Cambree right.

Reading that definitely brought a smile to my face. It's good to see that Mel is still loving life and he is still with your family.
I've asked my mom about you guys but as we both know she isn't very good at keeping in touch.
I hope you don't mind me reading your blog.

I'm living in South Ogden. We've been here since we got married 4 years ago. It wasn't so great at first but it's definitely growing on us.
Here is my moms email, I know she'd love to hear from you.
