This and That

Catching up on a little reading








We just recently received a new calling in church as Sunbeam teacher. It is CRAZY. There is usually around 7-8 kids. However, for the past 3 weeks there have been a few new kids, while a few other kids are absent, so I dread the day that all the kids show up on the same day! It is quite the sight to see us in primary. They have benches that are miniature for the kids...but the teachers have to sit on them too because there isn't any other chairs. Rob looks like a frog with his knees in his chin. Rob takes one row of kids while I take the other. The kids are constantly climbing over the benches, putting their feet in the air, lying on the ground, or wandering aimlessly around the room. We try to keep them in their seats, but it is a struggle. It gets so bad that sometime we have to physically go and pick the kids up from under the table at the front of the primary room. Of course, as soon as we try to pick them up to take them back to the bench they throw their arms up in the air so that they slip out from your grasp. I hate when kids do that!!! On top of it all we are trying to take care of Kaden as well, and luckily he has blessed us with messy diapers during primary for the past 3 weeks! All I can say is by the time church is over I am exhausted!!!!

Also, Kaden turns 6 months on the 27th. I can't beleive how fast the time has gone. At this point he can roll across the room like a champ, eat from a spoon, put himself to sleep at night (well...most nights), and laughs like crazy.

I can't believe how smiley he is! So cute! Congrats on your new calling, luckily Matt got called to teach Elder's Quorum so I know we won't get called to be primary teachers. Good luck wrestling with the rugrats!

He is getting so big. When did you start giving him crackers? I am thinking about giving Ava more cause she loves to eat. Good luck with the calling.

He is so dang cute!!! Wish we had the chance to see you guys more. Isn't primary fun? I just got put in CTR 8 and I'm loving it. It's so much easier to stay awake in primary than in adult sunday school and relief society! :)

I too am in awe of his smiles. He is really really cute. I dread the day that Logan discovers the old "slip 'n go" like your sunbeams do to you. It's strange that they called a couple with a baby to teach the sunbeams. Good luck.
