Yesterday, there was some sibling rivalry going on in the house. I could hear Tyler and Kaitlyn having a ‘discussion.’ Then, Kaitlyn came out of the bedroom to find me. She said, “Mommy, Tyler says ‘finders keepers, losers weepers' is in the Bible. I told him it’s not!’” I assured her she was absolutely right. Nowhere in the Bible does it say, 'finders keepers, losers weepers.'
Yesterday Lauren was very uncomfortable from cutting her 2-year-old molars. So, I told her she could have a cold Popsicle because it might help her teeth feel better. So, this morning she wakes up and is hanging on the handle to the freezer and pointing to her teeth and says, “My teeth are hurting – cold.” LOL!!! She’s a smart little 2-year-old! She was thinking MAYBE Mommy will let me have a Popsicle for breakfast if I tell her my teeth are hurting!!!!
Yesterday Tyler told me he wanted to make an invention. He wants to make an invention that will turn broccoli into candy. He also wants to make an invention that will turn his tiny toy dinosaurs into real dinosaurs! By the way, Tyler likes Broccoli, but I guess he likes candy more!

Tyler's Prayers
Tyler ALWAYS starts his prayers out the same way! “Dear Jesus, thank you for mom and dad. Thank you that they love each other.” The first few times he did this, it brought tears to my eyes! Parents give their children an incredible gift when they love one another so deeply, that it is evident to their children!
This really blesses my heart, because I can remember being young and having parents who I knew loved me, but their love for one another was not as evident. I believe it is important for children to SEE their parents loving on one another. Also, to HEAR parents say “I love you!” to one another. Sometimes when we’re hanging out around the house, or driving down the road in the car, I will shout out to the children, “Do you guys know how much I love your Daddy!” Sometimes they just smile and giggle. Other times they shout back a big, loud, “YES!”
Another thing Tyler regularly adds to his prayers, ”Jesus, help someone who doesn’t know about you, to know about you.” At such a tender, young age, he has a desire for people to know who Jesus is. How I pray his desire to see the lost saved will grow stronger each passing day!
