Conversations with Mitchell and random pictures

Above:Mitchell and me at Six Flags.

Below: Mitchell at the park, he HATES this picture and I love it. He says " Mitchell stop being funny at the park!" when he sees it on a slide show video we made for him and MK.

Above: Mitchell calls this the Monkey Man. He says "He's a Monkey, He's a Monkey, He's a real Monkey Man!" while climbing this.

Tonight Mitchell and I went on a snow cone date. We went to a big snow cone stand and sat outside at the picnic tables. Mitchell said "I am on a date with you, just like daddy, he is on a date with sissy at home"

Mitchell is very caring about others. He gets upset when he sees other people cry. Tonight he said "we should bring a snow cone to daddy and sissy, they love snow cones"

While on our way back Mitchell picked up his Bible from the floorboard of the car. This is one of those baby Bibles that doesn't have pictures, it's just the new testament. He started flipping through pages and would ask me what story was on each page. I told him things like... this story says that Jesus loves children just like you, and this one is about Jesus giving food to hungry people. Then he started saying " this page is Esther, she is queen and daddy is king" (Stephen played Xerxes last year in the Summer Spectacular musical), this one baby Jesus- away in a manger, then he said this page says that "Dah-Dah (my dad) put a boy under the water" I was surprised by this one. I told him yes Dah-Dah did put him in the water, that's called being baptized. We do that to tell Jesus how much we love him and tell him that we want to obey him. He said "I want Dah-Dah to put me in the water but I DON'T want to go under."

Six Flags

My kids love going to Six Flags. We have been 3 times already this Spring because we have season passes. We decided to go today for Day 2 of Stephen's Birthday Weekend. When we pulled up Maggie Kate got so exited and shouted "yay, horses!" because she loves the carousel so much. Mitchell is sooo tall he is able to ride alot of rides. He is only two inches away from being able to ride the Judge and the Shockwave. Maggie Kate is the exact opposite of him. She is sooo tiny she can hardly ride anything but she loves rides and cries when Stephen and Mitchell leave us to ride something. Mitchell is a little apprehensive about rides but enjoys them once he tries them.
I know we have many more adventures to come at Six Flags. We always have so much fun together. I just love being with my family. They make my heart happy!

Maggie Kate

Maggie Kate is seriously the world's sweetest girl. She is happy about 98% of the day. The only time she gets upset is when she is ready to eat and when Mitchell takes away her bears. Maggie Kate is sooo different from Mitchell. It's really neat to see the difference between how a boy and a girl act. She is 100% girly girl. Here are some facts about my angel baby.
