Veteran's Day

My 4 year old Camden saw some military members in a Veteran's Day parade a few weeks ago. Ever since then, he's been thanking Heavenly Father for the soldiers who fight for us, or the good soldiers who fight the bad soldiers. He thinks of them as he thinks of Captain Moroni and Helaman. It is very sweet to me.

(At Cabela's, near the big animal mountain, feeding the fish)

Mckay was standing in the back of the cart, leaning on the railing to see the fish. Then, he leaned a little further. His feet left the cart and his cute round head started pulling him over the rail. Even though I was right next to him, with my hand on his back, he easily could have slipped right over the rail and into the fish pond. Of course, he just looked at me, smiled and giggled, then sat down in the cart. I don't think he was scared, but sensed it in me.

Interesting conversations tonight:

C: What is smaller than 0? Negative 1?

B: Yep.

C: (Starts talking about negative infinity, and if that's the "biggest" smallest number)

Seriously..where does he get this?

N: I want to make my Christmas list!

M: What do you want on your list?

N: The Children's Museum. Grandma's Children's Museum! (There's a really fun children's museum in Baltimore.)

M: Hmm..Can you choose something smaller?

N: (Whispering) A small children's museum.

Brian, Camden, Nate, and I were sitting on the couch for family prayer before bed. Just after we finished, Camden reached his toes up to his head and scratched his forehead. "I can scratch my head like a dog!" Then he reached his foot back and used his toes to scratch his ear. We never know what to expect from him!

Jan 13, 2013
At church, there was one bank of lights on the side of the church that wasn't turned on. No one would even notice. Unless that person is Nate.
N: "Uh oh" (point and pause) "Uh oh" (point and pause) "Uh oh".
M: "Are the lights turned off?"
N: "Uh-HUH!!! Uh oh" (pause and point) "Uh oh"
Repeat.

Nate: Buh a boh! (peek a boo!)

Nate: Hot hot hot! (looking at a picture that had a candle and flame in it)

Dec 2012
M: Nate looks so tired. He's ready for a nap.
C: But I'm not sleepy in the least.

February 9 2012
Camden's train of thought can be so random at times. We laugh a lot and also spend a lot of time trying to figure out what he's talking about.
C: Is that Mary and baby Jesus? (Looking at the picture of Mary praying with Jesus as a little boy.)
M: That's Mary with little boy Jesus. Do you like to pray?
C: Yes, but don't kiss me or eat me.

C: I get marshmallows now. That's the only choice."

B: You are stinkin' cute!
C: Sink toot! Sink toot! (Stinkin' cute) Dad sink too! Mom sink too! Nate sink too! Me sink too! (I guess we are all pretty stinky!)

June 6, 2011
Michelle: "Do you need a change? Are you stinky?" (He was in desperate need of a change.)
Camden: "No change. Nate change!"

June 5, 2011 (At Bedtime):
Brian: "Was Mormon brave?"
Camden: "Brave. Di brave. Ammon brave. Queen brave. Sarge brave. Mate brave too." (Abinadi, "Cars" characters)

June 5, 2011 (During a testimony meeting):
After too many women spoke in a row: "Boys...church...true"

June 4, 2011
Mom: "Camden is so cute!"
Camden: "No Tammen (how he says Camden) toot (cute).
Queen toot. Mate toot. Dad toot. No Tammen
toot." (Lightning McQueen and Mater)
