Living Legends

Last weekend we had a chance to host two college students from BYU who belong to the Living Legends dance group at the University. Ethan was so overwhelmed by the performance, as we sat in the car getting ready to drive home, he told me that he couldn't remember how to put on his seatbelt because he couldn't stop thinking about the Indian Hoop dancers. While we truly enjoyed their performance, I think that they enjoyed the antics of our crazy boys even more over the weekend. On Sunday, Mario and Joseph (college students) had the rude awakening of helping out in our 150 kid Primary group. I suckered them into helping with several classes. Between the nose pickers and the chatty little girls...I don't think that they will ever want to return again. We had such a fun time with these guys over the weekend, I wanted to adopt them as older brothers for our impressionable little boys. They were each so humble and charming, I hope they keep in touch with us and send us their graduation and wedding announcements when they pick that lucky girl.

Deep Thoughts of a Six Year Old

"So who is the first person the baby sees when she comes out of you?"

"When we ate food in the pre-mortal life, our food would fall out of our bodies just after we ate it."

"When we were spirits in heaven and we gave High 5's, Our hands just went right through each other"

"Mom, If I don't get married by the time I'm old, I will just go on a Mission."

"From now on, I'm going to be a 'Thumb's up' guy." What does that mean Ethan? "Than I'm not gonna wet my pants anymore. "

Second Day of Kindergarten:
Teacher: "...and this is the class kitchen"
Ethan: "But this is fake!" "When are we going to the real kitchen?"

"Mom, Can we buy a dog that isn't certain?" What are you talking about Ethan? "You said that you are allergic to certain dogs, so I want to get one that isn't certain."

"Mom, Are you gonna color your hair soon? I'm tired of looking at that dark brown hair. I want it to be lighter...like red."

"I don't like Sundays!" "Why can't we stay home from church like everyone else?" Who is everyone else? "All the people that ride their bikes and play golf !"

" Mom, do we get closer to dying the older we get?" "Yea. I guess so." "So grandma and grandpa are closer to dying than me and Carter?" "Yea. I guess you can say that."

"What was the first bathroom ever???" "I don't know, Ethan? I give up." "Grass and trees!"

"We need to get BAM Toilet Unclogger...it unclogs toilets and drains and cleans stains!!"

"If spiders weren't invented...would flies rule the whole earth?

"I wish I could make 3 copies of myself in a clone machine so if a mean guy tried to take me away, he wouldn't know which Ethan to take."

"If I get bit by a spider...will I be able to climb walls and ceilings?

"Where can we buy 5 teleporters? I bet we can go to a teleporter store" Why do you want 5 teleporters, Ethan? "So we can go to Hawaii."

"I didn't wet my pants...just my underwear."
"
"Hey mom I just found Saturn in my cereal bowl! See the planet..and there's the ring."

"Mom, Did you know that SPACE PACK storage bags are guaranteed to lock out dirt, bugs and moisture. You can store seasonal items and they are made of nylon." "So do you want them or not?"
