Quotable Quote


" I bend to sweep crumbs and I bend to wipe vomit and I bend to pick up
little ones and wipe away tears... And at the end of these days I bend next to
the bed and I ask only that I could bend more, bend lower. Because I serve a
Savior who came to be a servant. He lived bent low. And bent down here is where I see His face. And people say, “Don’t you get tired?” and yes, I do. But I’m face to face with Jesus in the dirt, and the more I bend the harder and better and fuller this life gets. And sure, we are tired, but oh we are happy. Because bent down low is where we find fullness
of Joy.” ― Katie J.Davis

Gender Issues

About 3-4 times a month Breck brings me things like swimsuits, tutus, girl shoes etc.... to put on him. I humor him because frankly I think it is hilarious. This is his most recent ensemble.

On the other hand, Ava insists that she is a boy. If you say something like "That's ok if you want to say your a boy Ava." She will say "I'm not just saying I'm a boy. Heavenly Father made me a boy and my name is Michael." She gets really mad about it. She was crying the other day because I told her I refuse to buy her boy clothes. I told her when she grows up if she wants to buy boy clothes that is fine, but I will not buy boy clothes for my little girl. I explained to her that a lot of girls are Tomboys and that is fine. She got mad and said she is NOT a Tomboy she is an actual boy. She wore Breck's pajamas to bed last night. Ryan threatened to cut her hair like Breck's and she didn't take it as a threat!

How much longer do I have to endure this insanity?

That's funny. I'll bet they will both grow out of it. ;)

Gracie and #4 might be the only ones giving you grandkids...JK I think Breck is acting perfectly normal. Ava has always been a tomboy-I think because Gracie is the definition of a girly girl so that is where Ava found her niche in the family.

Oh funny... I love the threat from the father. I painted Dash's toe nails the other day - his father wasn't thrilled with me :)
