Jake: "Last night when I was going to bed, I heard something say "SSHHH!"
Me: "Don't worry, it was just a noise."
Jake: "I thought it was the Holy Ghost."
Me (remembering Mike's shushing Jake from outside the bedroom door): "I guess it probably was!"

Afton: "Heavenly Father made us all special. How come I'm not all sparkly?"

Another from Jake: "Mom, I wish my name was 'Bongown'" (pronounced like Bonjour except with an ending 'n'. He wore it on a name tag on his chest the rest of the evening.
Afton: "Jake, what is your name again?"
Jake: "Afton! I wrote it here so you don't keep asking!" Puts another name tag on his forehead.
Mom: What should I call you Afton?
Afton: "Snow White"
Afton: "Jake, what is your name again?"

Quick thoughts
So I'm finally up with the times and have my own blog. You'd think if someone was a "webmaster" that they might be current with a full family history...
Now I'm frantically searching my mind for all those clever things my kids did and all those life changing thoughts that would really help all who read my little blog. Nothing.
Just two quick stories about both kids. Maybe then I can feel at ease knowing that my children's lives are adequately documented.
Jake has always been interested in numbers. He loves to ask random people (fellow shoppers at Wal-Mart, those who happen to stop next to us at a red light, etc) what their address is. Finally Jake discovered his life calling when we went through the Wal-Greens drive thru to pick up a prescription. Jake decided he would like to be the teller asking people for their address to verify their getting the correct prescription. We are in the process of getting him a store job application right now.
Afton has profound moments when I realize just how fast she is growing up. This week she saw a little girl walking with just her mom. She pointed at the little girl and said "Ohhh, that little girl doesn't have a brother." Let's just hope she always appreciates that she has a big brother!
