The other night while driving home Trey was screaming to get Monty's attention. Then he replied, "Daddy, Daddy, look. The moon is broken" We looked over to see that the moon was a crescent moon. Such and interesting observation.Last Monday for family night we took the boys to the track. We enjoy walking the track when it's cool enough and we just decided to do our family night there. I planned a lesson based on the phrase, "Go the extra Mile," to teach the kids to do just a little bit more than they are asked. After it was over Monty said to Kory. "So Kory what was the phase we learned tonight?" To which Kory said, "Run the other way!"
Kyle went to sleep balling his eyes out the other night. His brothers came in to tell me he was crying. We called him into our room to ask him what was wrong. He said, "Mom, I don't want to go on a mission. I'll miss you too much." So sweet! I was surprised he's already thinking of a mission at his young age. Monty then told him a few stories of his mission and how fun it was to serve other people. I found the moment bitter sweet as when he's actually 19 I'll probably be the one crying my eyes out and he'll be excited to go! I guess I wouldn't have it any other way.
We love our boys!

Your boys are so cute! I was so impressed with them before I actually met them, and they just get better and better! I love that.. "run the other way!" So cute.
Sweet story's!
What great story's. Thanks for sharing! Sophie's also a little worried about the mission thing, but I keep reminding her she's not held to the same standard as boys, but she's pretty sure she's living at home forever. We'll see how long that lasts!
Ohhh...so sweet! :)
