I can't believe it has been 4 months since I have posted....I am a slacker, I know! Summer was fabulously crazy busy and I will try to catch up on all the great things we did. I have to wait until the weather gets so terrible though, I love being outside when it is sunny!



I am disappointed in myself for not writing down the funnyisms of Eli, there were so many during the summer, I truly thought I would remember them and of course I did not!!! Ugh!



Anyhow, we spent the weekend watching General Conference. I did my best to have the kids watch in between Gremlin football games and dance classes. I was excited to have all of us together to watch during the Sunday morning session. We sat at a great breakfast, made by Mike I might add, listening and watching our prophet give his address. I thought this would be a great teaching moment with Eli. I asked, "who is that on the TV Eli?' He replied, "the United States?" "No, who is the man speaking on the TV?" I asked again. He replied, "the United States!" The rest of the kids started laughing. He got angry and replied, "the LIAR, you know the liar!"

I thought we were all going to choke to death in laughter! His little 4 year old brain knew that the person on the TV was very important. He knew he had seen him numerous times before and he was the President of something....he just happened to get President Monson and President Obama mixed up! Hey, understandably, stuff like this happens! I'm just glad that President Monson is not a liar!
