I accidentally deleted the entire photo card on my digital camera. :( Lost so many good pictures of Christmas!
I thought I'd type up a quick little memory blog. I'll write more as I remember stuff!
I forgot my dad's present here at our house and so I made him an IOU card just to be silly. I wrapped it in tissue paper and put it in a gift bag. When dad unwrapped it he missed the card and pulled out a pine needle that had dropped in the bag. It hit Evan Charlie so funny that he giggled and giggled! "Oh! Pop Pop thought the pine needle was his Christmas present!!" He constantly retells that one! :)
Meagan leaned up against my Uncle Charlie just looking up at him wanting snuggles! She is so picky about who she goes to voluntarily, it was just so precious! I had the best pic of that on my camera. Bummed I deleted it! She sat on his lap for a while.
Meagan was so cute unwrapping presents... VERY SLOWLY! At Aunt Sandy's house she sat with her arms around the puppy she got for her first gift and just kept sliding one hand in and out of her second present. It took her quite awhile to decide to see what was inside.
Aidan is on the verge of losing his belief in Santa. He's a bit of a skeptic, but he has to cover all the bases. "Santa is NOT REAL!!" "Mom, we better leave out milk and cookies AND carrots for all the reindeer, because if Santa comes we have to have something for him!"

Evan Charlie 12/8/2010
Me: Evan Charlie, I think I am going to take a nap today. My ear and neck hurt soo bad.
Evan: You should.
Me: Yeah, but I don't want to leave you all by yourself out here. I don't want you to be lonely while Meagan and I are sleeping.
Evan: (a slow smile spreads across his face) It's okay. I'm not lonely. I know that God is always with us, so it's okay. You can take a nap.
Awww. :)

Aidan August 6, 2010
Aidan is singing worship again this morning. =) He's making up more songs and playing on the little keyboard. I love it! =) He was singing that God is famous and that we are with God and God is with us. He even sang about creation talking about God. He says he wants to be on the worship team with me when he grows up. Aww.
♫Our God is a famous God he is awesome and so famous♪
The first thing he ever wanted to be when he grew up was a bridge builder... this is a switch! hehehe.

Aidan says, "Mom, remember when we went to choir practice and I told you I didn't know how to sing? Well, I do know how to sing. I sing to God. Wanna hear how I do it?
♫Oh God we have to worship you. It is so much fun♪
That's a short one, I have long ones too. That short one though you can sing over and over if you want. You could even sing that short one for one of your worship songs if you wanted to. You know, for your worship music. So, you can sing it too, if you want"

Chris was discussing a passage of Scripture with me about unbelievers vs. believers.
Aidan said, "I'm a believer, you're a believer (pointing at Chris). Evan is a believer...?"
I replied, "I'm not sure if Evan is a believer or not, Aidan."
Evan pipes up and says, "I asked Jesus in my heart!"
We all just looked at him! First off, he's four years old, and his understanding of the term believer was phenomenal, and secondly, Evan has made it clear that he has NOT asked Jesus in his heart. He has said as much on many occasions.
Chris asked him when it happened, and Evan said, "I did it quietly when we were in the car yesterday."
(yesterday, to Evan, means any day before today... LOL)
Chris asked, "where were we at?"
Evan said, "At Walmart"
That was the day that Chris had talked to Evan about salvation and Aidan had told Evan how he got saved. :) Evan apparently thought about everything, and asked Jesus into his heart secretly.
Now when he talks about it he says that it was a secret, and that's why he didn't tell anyone before. LOL
So sweet! :)

Feel the love! BAHAHAHA

Aidan runs into the house...
"Mom! Dad! I accidentally hit Ashton in the face, and he ran home, and he said he's never going to play with me again for 80, 60, 100 years!....
"But he'll be dead by then."
And he runs back outside.
We were ROFL!

Apparently it's not age, it's heredity...
Aidan put the milk away, then growled in frustration, "I can't believe I put the milk away in the dishwasher!"
HAHAHAHAHAHA! He's got the crazy gene!

Aidan April 16, 2010
Aidan has been asking me if he can ride his bike to the bus stop for weeks. I always say no because I am carrying the baby and I will not be able to bring the bike back with me.
Today was a gorgeous day, so I let the boys go outside and ride their bikes before school. I sat on the steps holding Meagan. When it came time to go to the bus, I sent Aidan upstairs to get his backpack. He came down bringing his backpack and the umbrella stroller.
"I don't need the stroller, Aidan," I said, "I can carry baby Megs, it's good exercise."
"But mom, this will be easier, and your hands won't be so busy."
"Okay"
So I put Meagan in the stroller. Aidan then asked me if he could ride his bike to the bus stop, and before I could say no, he said, "And since you have baby Meagan in the stroller you will have one hand free to bring my bike back."
Little conniver!! He is such a smart kid!
So, he rode his bike to the bus stop, and I pushed the stroller with my right hand and pulled the bike with my left hand all the way back to the apartment.

Iron Man tattoo part 2:
Evan: MOMMY! MOMMY! Look! Look at my arm!
Me: What?
Evan: Look at my tattoo! It's coming off!
Me: that happens honey.
Evan (in a whiney voice) but I PRAYED that it would stay on forever!
from the other room....
Aian: (in his matter of fact teaching tone) Evan, prayer doesn't work like that. You don't always get what you are wishing for. And besides, I helped you pray it so maybe that's why you didn't get it because you didn't ask God all by yourself.

Aidan, April 11, 2010
We shared an elevator ride at Macy's with a very pretty young lady.
The lady looks at the three of our kids and says wow! You have a handful! I giggled and nodded, saying that I was thankful that one of them went back to school tomorrow.
Aidan says, "I am 6, and I go to kindergarten! He's Evan and he's four. He doesn't go to school because he pees the bed all the time."

the boys were tucked into bed I heard the faint sound of voices. I strained to listen and it sounded like Aidan was having Evan repeat a prayer after him. Of course, I was curious... I tiptoed over to their bedroom door and paused to listen.
Aidan: "Noo, No Evan. Start over. Repeat after me. Dear Jesus.
Evan: "Dear Jesus"
Aidan:"I know"
Evan:"I know"
Aidan:"that"
Evan:"that"
Aidan:"I"
Evan:"I"
Aidan:"have"
Evan:"have"
Aidan:"a fake Iron man tattoo"
Evan:"a fake Iron man tattoo"
Aidan:"and"
Evan:"and"
Aidan: "I"
Evan: "I"
Aidan: "want you to make it so it stays on FOREVER!"
Evan: "want you to make it so it stays on FOREVER!"
Aidan: "amen!"

while driving Aidan to Will Marty's birthday party:
Aidan said, "Mommy, guess where Jesus is?"
"Where"
"He's EVERYWHERE!!!! He's up in space, he's in heaven, he's over there and over here. He's even in here!" (Pointing at himself)
"That's right Aidan! Jesus IS everywhere"
"Yep." he said, "and that's how I know that if you die or Dady dies or Evan dies or my little sister baby Meagan dies that they will be everywhere too! Because you guys will be with Jesus!"

Evan April 9, 2010
Evan came out of the bedroom wearing his 'rock mutt' t-shirt and said "Mommy! I'm wearing my totally awesome t-shirt to show Hannah!"
Lunch time comes around and he spilled his cherry pudding on his shirt. "Oh no Mom! I got pudding on my totally awesome shirt! I wanted to show it to Hannah! Now what am I going to wear?"
"Don't you have any other totally awesome shirts?"
"NOOO! I need a totally awesome shirt!"
"What about the yellow one with the guitar on it?"
"Oh yeah! That IS a totally awesome shirt!"
So he puts on the yellow guitar shirt and goes back to the table to finish lunch.
"MOOOOOMMM! I got strawberry juice on my 'nother totally awesome shirt!!" comes the panicked voice of Evan Charlie.
I ended up washing both of the 'totally awesome shirts' right then and there. So funny!

We are in a play for the upcoming missions conference that involves showing the differences between the five major religions of the world and the hope that Christ brings in the midst of all the confusion. We took the kids to rehearsal with us. When the 'unreligious' character stood up and said "There is no God, there is no heaven" Aidan called out, "Yes, there IS a heaven!" And came over and whispered to me, "there is a heaven mommy!" I explained to him that it was pretend and that the lady was acting like someone who didn't believe in Jesus and that in a little bit I was going to pretend to be a Christian and tell about Jesus. He then said, "But that's not pretend, Mommy. That's REAL!"

Chris related this story to me:
Jena Adams came over to visit with Aunt Sandy for a little bit and Aidan went over to give her a hug. Chris said teasingly, "Aidan, I thought you liked Jackie," and Aidan got all embarrarassed. Aunt Sandy told him 'there's only room in your heart for one girl.' Aidan replied, "There's only room in my heart for Jesus!" After that he whispered to Chris, "I have room in my heart for everybody." AWWW!
Although he told us just now he likes Jackie AND Jena. lol

On our way to visit Aunt Sandy for the Easter weekend Aidan asked me to look at the boo boo on his knee.
"Look Mommy! It's getting healed! God is healing it! You know why he does that? It's because he knows that we would be sad if we never got better, so he heals us. But if there wasn't a God then Johnny Test's totally awesome sisters would have to do it. But there is a God, so he does it."
BAHAHAHAHA!
