More Keyanisms

Our family night lesson this past week was on the creation.  As we talked about it and looked at pictures in Keyan's "scriptures"... he asked some thought-provoking questions.


Questions such as, "Did Heavenly Father use wood to build the earth?"

Then, upon seeing a picture of Heavenly Father with stars and planets in the background, he inquired what any four year old would...

Keyan:  Does Heavenly Father wear clothes in space?
Response:  I'm sure He does wear clothes in heaven.
Keyan:  Nooo.  He wears his space suit in space, not heaven clothes!

Bobbing For Donuts

For family night this past Monday, we talked about the creation (more on that later)... and for family night treats, we bobbed for donuts.  And not just any ol' donuts, Texas donuts (cuz everything is bigger in Texas, right??)  Jono was the only person who could finish his off.  


And this photo was a reality check in the I-Really-Am-Short department.

Such cute boys.

Baking with Mommy

Today I planned to bake some crescent rolls to go along with dinner tonight.  The dough had risen and I was getting ready to roll it all out when I heard a little voice behind me, "Momma, can I help you?"  My first thought was how much easier it would be to just finish on my own, but whenever that thought comes to my mind, so does an article from a class I took at BYU.  The article is called Doing Dishes with Daddy, essentially about a dad who learns how fulfilling it is to work alongside a child... even if the task takes twice as long.  So, Keyan donned his apron and helped me flip the rolls into their crescent shape.  Some rolls look less than perfect, but that just makes them more memorable :)
