If there is one thing we have down as a family...it is our bedtime routine! Around 7:30, we get the kids in their room, pajama's on, read scriptures (from the kids picture book), sing THREE songs and say family prayer. (If they act up...the number of songs we sing the next night gets reduced.) Tonight, as usual, Alexis requested to say the prayer. Her prayers each night are very consistent...no matter who says it, the following MUST be said according to Alexis...
1) Bless Grandma and Grandpa on their mission that they will be safe.
2) Bless Kelli (Chad's sister) and Andrew that they can go to the temple. (We keep telling her they already got married in the Temple...but she insists on saying it every night!)
However, tonights prayer was different.
Dear Heavenly Father,
We are shankful for our blessings. That's silly I said shankful instead of thankful. Please bless that the sky will not be gray tomorrow. Bless that it will not rain so we can go to the park. And bless that I can swim all the way across the pool so I can make swim team. We say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
Amen to that! (When I originally posted I couldn't remember her swim team part! That was one of the best parts of the prayer. The gray sky thing came out of the blue and we are on the waiting list for her to begin swim team. All I said one week ago was..."Alexis, if they let us join you will have to try out and be able to swim all the way across the pool...otherwise you can't be on swim team" Guess it stuck with her!

When I try to get Lily to say the prayer she just says flat out no! Rude, huh? :-) About my pics...thanks! I'm glad you liked em. I could tell you how I do them, but then I'd have to kill you. :-) How about you come to Vegas and I'll take the pics for you!
Hahaha...good stuff. Unfortunately her prayer must have been lacking some faith since it was cloudy and rainy this morning. Actually, maybe I'm the one that lacks faith...it might clear up!
Soo cute! I love prayers from my children they are so sweet.
haha--so classic. Love how kid's minds work!
That is so special and funny! Alexis you sure know that you are a child of God.Keep up the great swimming.
I found your blog through Sarah's, hope you don't mind. Amber you are so beautiful and congrats on Carter, he's too cute! I was so glad that we found you again. I think about you often and how you were always such a great example to me. I try to catch up on things when I'd talk to people in the good ol' BYU ward. That's fun that the Wests are close.
I'm really happy to see you are all well and the next time you're in New York, we'd love to see you!
Lots of Love,
Eliza
