We attended an Eagle Court of Honor tonight. When we got home Brian asked Reagan if he was going to be an Eagle scout someday.
"No!" said Reagan.
Brian was surprized at his quick and negative response. "Why not?" he asked.
"I don't want to be an EVIL scout!"

I have been doing some remodeling projects. I sewed pillows for my basement and am planning to sew some for the family room upstairs. I had the idea to print words on the pillows, like, "love", "family"...etc. So last night I told Brian my idea and asked him what words would be good to put on the pillows. I think he missed the point when his answer was, "Poofy."

Reagan asked me, "Mom, if you could buy a house or a car, what would you buy?"
"A house."
"But you wouldn't have anything in it."
"I would buy it in a warm place. I would live there in the winter."
"But if you bought a car, you would have, like, $300 dollars left."
"Hmmm. You're right."
"AND if you bought a car, you could drive all over to different places for vacation."

Reagan went in for his kindergarten assessment today with his teacher. He begins class next week. As Brian and Reagan were driving home, Brian said to Reagan, "She thinks you are pretty smart. Where did you get your smarts?"
Reagan thought and said, "Sometimes Brad and Aubryn tell me stuff. [pause] Well, one time you did teach me something. You told me that sweat comes out of little tiny holes on your head."

Outside temple after tour |
Families are forever! |
Before entering the temple, they show you a movie about temples. After the movie ended, Reagan said to Brian and I, "That made me have a tear." I asked him how he felt watching the movie. He told me he felt good. I said, "That feeling that felt good inside was the Holy Ghost telling you that temples are true." I could see in his eyes that he understood.
After leaving the temple I asked Reagan how he felt. He said, "Really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really good."
I asked Rylan what he liked best in the temple. He responded with, "The water and the light." (baptisimal font and chandelier in Celestial room)
Aubryn liked the "room where you get married." (Sealing room) She told us that is where she wants to get married.
I was worried about my kids behaving while we walked through the temple. They did so well. Reagan had to be in front of us and was so very reverent. He walked with his arms folded the whole time. He was so busy looking around that sometimes he walked into the lady's bottom in front of him.
When we entered the sealing room we stepped out of the line that moved like a river through the temple and took some time to show the children the mirrors that are hung on both sides of the room. They reflect into each other and go on forever and ever. I looked into that mirror with all my kids, except Isaac, and husband. We are sealed together for all eternity! I began to be filled with emotions as I stood there. I am so thankful that I have been blessed with the temple ordinances. This was a very special experience for me. I hope my children always remember the way they felt as they walked through the temple and have a desire to return there.

A couple weeks ago as we were driving down the road in our van we saw a woman running hunched over in pain. I did a U turn and Brian rolled down the window and asked if she needed a ride. She was running late for the bus and had injured her back the day before. We drove her to WalMart and then home. After we dropped her off Rylan said to Brian, "That lady thought we were the bus, huh Dad."

Speaking of rolling the window down in our van... On the 4th of July Brian and Brad where at Scout Camp and my parents came down. We were driving to the Parade and had to get past a barricade. I was driving and my Mom was in the passenger seat. Our van has no fancy options. It is THE base model. I pulled up to the police officer who wanted to talk to us before we drove over by the parade. He walked up to my mom's window. "Roll the window down, Mom."
"Where?" She asked.
"Right there, Mom. You have to roll it."
"Where? I don't see a button."
"No. Right there. You have to actually roll it. There is no button."
"OH!" She found the handle that you have to manually crank around to roll the window down.
Can you imagine as a kid that we would ever forget how to roll windows down?!

Speaking of Scout Camp... I meant to write about it a long time ago. I was so worried about Brian and Brad. It was Brad's first year and he turned 12 the day he came home from camp. I was worried about Brian. They were 5 hours from home. Anyway, all the bad luck happened at home, including a near bone break for Rylan. (Actually, he may have fractured his collar bone. I never did take him in. He seemed to use his arm okay. His collar bone LOOKED aweful. Really. But he was running around in no time. So I decided to forgo the X-rays and ordeal. They would have just put a sling on it anyway.) Also, I ran out the front door and down the front steps to tell my dad he was mowing the neighbor's lawn because he didn't know where the property line was. In my rush I fell down the front steps. It was very slapstick of me and it would have been pretty funny if it didn't hurt so bad. Anyway, there were a few other mishaps. I was talking to Brian on the phone towards the end of the week asking how they were doing. "How are you sleeping? How is Brad? Are you having fun? What are you eating? How was the hike? Are you doing okay?..." Then I told him all that was going on at home he said, "It's a good thing we didn't stay home! We probably would've gotten hurt!"

Speaking of mowing the lawn. Here is a photo of Brad mowing a crop circle in our back yard. He thinks this is so cool.
