Come for prayer!!!!

I'm sure you're wondering where I'm going with this one!!!! The other night Abbi was playing school....and these were her students. I just barely got rid of half the toys in this house by the way, and I'm thinking that I missed a few!! Anyway....we were all waiting for Abbi to come for prayer and she was taking her own sweet time. Of course the natural reaction of any nurturing mother is to get mad right?!? Well.....I thought she was ignoring us while she continued to teach her little school lesson to her very attentive pupils!! She finally came down the stairs after about 3 minutes and said "Sorry.....I had to teach them to kneel down"!! Um....I felt about an inch tall! How cute is that?!? She took all of that time to make sure every last baby...animal....Dora...ect...was kneeling down with the rest of us!! Good on ya Ab's....we must be doing something right?!? Either that or she just came that way!!
This picture is for entertainment purposes only!! Their faces were covered in white powder from a doughnut feeding frenzy....and they were laughing at who knows what!! They have their own kind of humor, they have since they were tiny! One of them says something that none of the rest of us really understand....and this is the result!! I wish that I had half of their zest for life!!!!

That is so cute. I think that picture of the dolls is priceless~ Abbi and Jake are so stinkin' cute.

I love watching them in Primary.

Nothing better than the twin language. They are so dang cute. It always does you heart good when you kids do something good like what Abbi did. I love those two little boogers. And guess what? I love you too big sister. You are the best. Roo

And look how reverent all the dolls are! Maybe they could come be our "role models" in nursery!!

Tasha said...

At least half of them are welcome to come be role models!!

Rachel said...

Too cute. I love the prayer story and the donught fight. That's awesome. I hope our kids remain close like they are now. It's so cute to watch.

Way to go Abbi, everyone needs to join in on the family prayer. She is such a doll.
Love the picture of her and Jake.

This is definately a story that will fit in beautifully on my next talk in church on the topic of "The Power of Example". Good job Tash and Dave!! Love ya, Mom

Colette said...

Vanessa doesn't even kneel for prayer. Can Abbi come play at our house soon? Maybe she will have an influence Vanessa because obviously I don't.

That is awesome, you are way more religious than me! Instead of my kids imitating me and playing make believe of praying--they make the hymn books on sunday like little laptops and pretend to type on them for entertainment. I've got some role-model work to do...

Those twins of yours are so dang cute. I still can't figure out why you didn't give me one-that was the deal if you had twins-remember?

Dave and Mel said...

I love it. The prayer story it adorable. Every once and I while I see a twin picture cute enough to make me think that I would want two at a time....this is one of them. I totally love it. Very sweet. Once again I am so sorry for how flaky we were about the missionaries. You were so sweet yesterday. We owe you.

Tasha said...

You don't owe me at all! Let me know any time I can help!!
