Destiny?

Yesterday Reed was smelling the tulips in the garden and Ben said to him, "Don't smell the flowers or you will take away their destiny and they will die!" Okay, then...

listen to mommy

Today Benton randomly says to Ted; "You should always listen to Mommy, because if you do things will always get much better". I'm glad Ben feels this way about me even though he doesn't always act like it. Although, it could be that he said this because about two minutes earlier I told him we could make chocolate chip cookies. Still...

much better

Yesterday we explained General Conference to Benton and Reed and then gave them a coloring packet and sat down to watch. A couple minutes into it Ben was coloring away when he turned to us and said, "this is much more better than church." He actually sat through 50 minutes of the first session before he even got bored. I know a lot of people that feel the same way as he does!

"skanks"

When Reed says "thanks" it comes out sounding like "skanks". It is pretty funny and it makes people that don't know him give us funny looks.
