baptizing

so, when andre and the girls picked me up from the airport on sunday, alexa said some funny stuff. andre was telling me about what happened at church and alexa said that someone had gotten baptized. months ago she had seen someone get baptized and i explained (as best as i could to a just 2 year old) what was happening. she was quite interested! that was the last i remember talking about it.
so, in the car i explained it again (she has more words and understanding at this point, and i felt she somewhat understood). So, i tell her that when she is older she can get baptized. she says okay and andre and i continue talking. a few minutes later she says, "maybe i am too little to get baptized." we tell her fine, when she is older. she went on and on (for like 10 mintutes)about being too little. we assure her that we are not going to throw her in the tank anytime soon. so, she offers her beloved spunky to get baptized. andre explains that dogs don't get baptized and she accepts it and tells us one more time that she is too young. too funny!

i am going to post some videos. they are kinds lame, but we think that they are cute!

fun and fasting

tink has been coming up with some funny things lately. after finding out that your teeth get wiggly and fall out she has decided that hers are ready to do the same. so she is constantly checking her teeth and telling me they are wiggly, when i tell her that they are not she runs to the bathroom and looks in the mirror to see i there are any missing...which she insists that they are! she is too funny!

she is also way into playing 'high school'...which i believe is priscilla's influence. i am not sure what 'high school' entails, but i will find out!

in other news, we are 3 days away from the end of our fast! (yea!!) my original fasting plan did not quite go as planned. i lasted 2 days on the detox drink...i could not get off of the couch due to a horrible headache. so, i switched to daniel fast and did that until sunday. on sunday, andre and i started daniel fast, but only dinner. thursday i started a 4 day juice/water fast. i am looking forward to eating again!
we are already seeing fruit from our sacrifice and know that god is going to do so much more! i was getting headaches daily, and have not had one in 20 days! and andre has had some jobs come through that we asked specifically for! i know that i will continue to testify all year long.

alexa's 'new thing'

when alexa goes to the bathroom she now tells us, 'i need privacy' and reads an oriental trading catalog while going to the bathroom. it is too funny!

we have place mats that we use when eating....our new one is a map of the usa. on different states there are different pictures. we were showing alexa different places that people she knows lives. if you ask her where uncle matt lives she will tell you that he lives in the pretzel.

ha ha ha ha ha

ha ha ha ha
so tink and i were praying this morning and when we were finished i asked her if jesus spoke anything to her...and she said, 'yes'. i asked her what and she said, 'go potty'.

ha! ha! ha!

i got a new parents magazine the other day (i am saving it for vacation)
anyway, there was something on the cover that caught my eye so i took a peek and found a little section called 'my little secret'...hilarious. here are a few:

1.when i was pregnant, i ate an entire chocolate cake that my mom had baked for my 7 year old son. i told him the cat ate it.
2. to get out of changing our older child's diaper, i regularly pretend to be nursing our younger baby after he has fallen asleep. my husband has no clue.
3. i think it is funny that my baby cries every time my mother-in-law holds her. (not me pam!)
4. i hide bowls of pine scented cleaner behind picture frames before my cousin comes home. the house smells like i've cleaned all day, when i really haven't done anything since noon. i've been doing this or years and he hasn't caught on yet.
yea, i thought they were funny.
