Why we should read the scriptures and other wisdom from Reed

Just thought I'd post some quick Reedisms that we'd been meaning to post for a while.

The first was at the beginning of January when someone asked him what he got for Christmas. Reed's response: "I got a cut on my knee, but now I can't find it."

One day after preschool he showed Lindsay a picture he painted that looked like a blurry green blob. When Lindsay asked what it was he said, "Well, it was a tree, but then an arsonist got to it and burned the tree and the branches and all of the leaves." I guess he picked up that word last October when we went to California.

Last Sunday night Reed was giving a talk in our living room to me, Lindsay, and Grandmother. A lot of it was on Transformers and Optimus Prime ("And who helps Optimus Prime? It starts with a 'B'..."), but then he brought in the scriptures. "You need to read the scriptures so that you can get big and become a dad and get married. You need to look for someone who's not married. If they're married then you skip 'em."

What does your Valentine's Day heart look like?

Here are mine and Reed's.


May you all see plenty of the faces that you love!
Happy Valentine's Day!

Future Firefighters

Last week our preschool group took a trip to the fire station. The fire fighters were great and gave the kids a tour of the fire house and then let them climb inside their huge ladder truck. The kids all had a good time---even my little boy who thinks he's a big boy sometimes.

What would a trip to the fire house be without a quick taste of the truck?
