Simple Conversation....I Don't Think So

Dakota was eating lunch while I was doing dishes and washing strawberries and blueberries having a nice time chit chatting away. Then...

Dakota: Why do we have two eyes instead of one?
Me: Maybe for depth perception. (sounds good to me)
Dakota: Well if I cover one of my eyes, I still have depth perception so that can't be it.
Me: I guess because Heavenly Father created us in His image and He has two eyes.
Dakota: Who created Heavenly Father?
Me: Uh......
Dakota: I mean think about it. Who created Heavenly Father and the universe He lives in? Who was the first Heavenly Father and who created the first universe? And do we have a Heavenly Grandfather?
Me: Uh.....(shaking my head with bewildered eyes) It is alot to wrap your head around isn't it? (me trying to buy some time)
Dakota: I don't get it.
Me: You know, I just think about THIS world and OUR Heavenly Father and Mother.
Dakota: How do you make spirit children?
Me: Uh......(really? where is Steve when I need him)

My Latest Craze



I love this show!! Talk about rivoting television!! It's on Tuesday nights at 9:00 on the Discovery channel. I spent hours watching it one day when they were running a Deadliest Catch marathon before this latest season started AND WAS HOOKED. Love it!!!

Devynne Goes to EFY and Steve Heads to Idaho

This is a short posting with lots of pictures. Steve and his boys spent some time in Idaho with a friend while Devynne was at EFY in Salt Lake City. Steve and the boys did some hiking as you can see from the pictures and they had a ball. Devynne, too, had a great time. They did a service project coloring floor mats for kids which I included a picture of. Dakota spent the week in San Diego for Scout Camp. I don't have pictures of Dakota but he did have a great time and he earned 4 merit badges while he was there. He said the staff was awesome and he wanted to stay another week. I'm glad to have all my family home. :)
