funny joel

last monday for family home evening we talked about how jesus loves others and all the different ways he served the people he was around. in particular, we talked about how he healed a blind man and gave him his sight.

so today at church, our aunt laurel was sitting next to joel and drawing a picture of bat for joel. as laurel was drawing, she told joel that bats can't see. laurel left to sing with the choir and as she was walking away, joel leans over to me and says:

"mom, mom! did you know that bat's can't see? maybe jesus can give them a blessing and then they can see again!"

haha!

and just because you can't have a post without a picture of cute boys....
*side note - joel is holding oliver because oliver wanted so badly to knock all the blocks over!

Ha! Do you dare tell Joel that Jesus created them that way? It could rock his world...

Love that guy. :)

So cute! The girls keep asking things like, "why are there mountains there?" and we keep answering that that's just the way Heavenly Father created the world. We were shopping the other day and D asked why there was a flag inside the store. I said I didn't know and asked her what she thought. She said, "I think Heavenly Father put it there because he wanted to." :)

such handsome boys -- i love it when kids remember things they are taught about Jesus or the Gospel ... and put it into their understanding.
