Sweetness

I should have posted this a long time ago but as things go we get busy and I forgot. Josie says funny things to me probably each and every day (like most kids do). You think that you will never forget them but I do. So I am going to try and be better about writing them down so I will remember them. Here are two things that just warmed my heart.
Josie and Trooper really really love each other most of the time. They are both getting big enough to really start to play with each other. It is so fun to see them play together. One morning Trooper and Josie were wrestling on the floor and Josie says to Josh and I, "Trooper is my good buddy, I really love him", One of us said something back to her like "I am so glad that you love him Josie" Then she got this excited look on her face jumped up next to us and said " Guys! Guys! I know something, when he gets bigger, bigger, bigger, I can marry him in in in the Church!!!" She was so excited that she came up with little plan. We talked about who we marry and why we marry and where we marry, but it made me smile and giggle that she loves him so much that she wanted to marry him.



The other super cute one was that the other day we were headed down to Gra'mas house for the afternoon. Josie almost everyday asks me if we can go to one or the other of her grandmas houses. And we really don't go that often--(well often compared to some people but not often enough for her), so she was super super excited. Josh and I were talking on the way down and I could hear Josie talking quietly in the back. So I asked her what she was saying. She said in the sweetest little voice " Mom, I was just thanking Jesus for letting us go to gra'mas house again." I wanted to cry. It was so sweet and tender. I love it when I am reminded of how sweet,and pure and how receptive little children are.

Cats and Dogs

Here are some fun Halloween pictures of the kids. Some from a carnival and some from a Trunk or Treat! I think that both kids had a great time this year for Halloween. I wanted some cute coordinating costumes for them--or for our whole family. Like Wendy, PeterPan and Tinkerbell and Capt Hook or a chicken, an egg and Farmers or a Flower and a Bee and bee keepers--but when it came down to it Josie wanted to be a kitty and I couldn't resist making Troop into a puppy. . . so here they are:
