What did he say?

So Eric gave his very first talk in Primary on Sunday. When the heck did my little guy become old enough to give talks!! Time really does fly by! Anyway Eric's talk was on Mother's. So we found some different pictures of what Mommies do. And then I stood up by Eric and held the pictures and then Eric would tell what the picture was. He started off really well by saying
"Mommies are awesome!"
Mommies go to the park,
play candy land,
make cookies with me, and then we got to this picture...

Eric looked at the picture and said "Mommy makes me hurt!" Skip of course was in the back and laughed really loud. I was lucky enough to have the rest of the pictures in front of my face so no one could see me laughing. I tired to get Eric to say Mommy makes me feel better- but he was ready to move on to the next picture.
Mommies give bear hugs,
teach me about Jesus Christ,
read stories
Mommy makes me happy!"
He did such a great job- minus telling everyone that I make him hurt!

Mouth Full of Berries

We took the kids to a pick your own strawberry patch on Sat. While we were walking out to the field 2 little old ladies walked by and Eric stopped them to tell them he was looking for strawberries. The laughed and then asked if he would like to try one of theirs. Ever the little gentleman...he grabbed a handful and tried to put it in his basket. We made him give all but one back and told him he had to look for his own.

He took off to find them but Lily didn't waste any time eating her strawberry. As soon as we showed her that there were strawberries all over she was off picking and eating.

I'm pretty sure she had her mouth full the whole time! Eric wasn't into eating them as much as he was picking them. He would run from Skip and I helping to pick the strawberries. Skip even took Eric over to the tomato plants to pick some tomatoes while I clean up strawberry juice covered Lily. It was so much fun! I look forward to having my own garden some day.

HaHaHaHaHa

I about died laughting the other day when I looked over to see Eric and Lily with their faces pressed up aganist the screen door. These 2 are a hoot!
