I told him to bring me over the dishes from the table and he looked at me and said calmly and quite kindly...
"Well, Mom, Jesus gave Dad the power to be the boss in our family, actually not you." Ummm... not sure where he got this idea...

Maxwell speaks...
I've been writing down a few of the funny things Max has said lately and thought I would post them so I don't lose the paper.
"Mom, do you think Dad knew when I was a baby that I was going to be such an awesome kid?" We know he needs a few lessons on humility. In a way, I think telling them there are smart, beautiful, and awesome is okay because before long - they will be in school and learn that their heads are big and they aren't to some as cool as they think they are.
"Mom, do I have to be an adult when I resurrect or can I still be a kid?"
The preschool kids were telling when their birthdays were and how old they were going to be. Brig heard them and said, "My birthday is in December and I am going to be 32."
Max: "Yep, and then he is going to die. Everybody becomes a person and then dies."
He said the blessing on the food at our friend's house yesterday and prayed that... "we all would listen to the good voice."
In preschool, I asked my students why the letter A is so important. No one responded and I went on to tell them about the first letter of the alphabet. Max then raised his hand and said, "But do you know what is importanter than the letter A? Jesus!" And all week he reminds us that Jesus is importanter than pink, and Young Womens, and Scouts, and taking a bath.
Max: "Mom, would you be so sad if Peanut and me got eaten by a monster?" (I will have to tell my mother-of-the-year story about this later.)
Mom: "Oh yes I would be so sad. But I don't have to worry about that happening since monsters aren't real and even if something did happen to you, I know Heavenly Father would help me get through it and that I would see you again."
Max: "Yeah, Heavenly Father watches out for me even when I'm mean to my little sister. He really loves us."
Mom: "True. He still loves us when we make mistakes and we all make mistakes. I even have to work on being more obedient."
Max: "Yeah, sometimes you get 'frustrating' -he meant frustrated-.... like when your eyes GET ALL BIG, like this. (And he shows me just how I do it when I am mad.)
I'm slowly learning to take correction from my kids.

Labor Day Weekend Post 2
Before going to the Brigham City Temple Open House, we went up
to Logan and took Brig's niece, Alli out for breakfast. We
secured her desire to hold off having kids for at least 10 years!
They were crazzzzzzy but Peanut was just so excited to see her.
So fun to hear all about the college life and catch up with her.

We visited my cousins in the Logan area as well.
It was so great to see my Aunt, Tanner, Joc, and Ally.
We went out for fries and ice cream with the cutest family
in our neighborhood.

The Princess Peanut Celebrates 3rd Birthday with a Tea Party and Tinkerbell Cake
Peanut is proud to be three. She talked about her birthday for weeks.
She was spoiled by her grandmas and got everything pink. We had
a tea party with sub sandwiches and although she is all princess, she
is lacking in the manners department. She smeared her cake all over
her face... and made the biggest mess! We sure love her - and she
couldn't be more tickled to know that another girl will join our family
mid-December. She held her breath through every tunnel and made
the wish out loud to 'get a sister.' Glad that princess wishes do come true.
