So I have to tell you the cutest story about Tolman. With Easter being just last week we have been learning different names for the Savior like the Good Shepherd, the Great Mediator (It is pretty cute to hear Kimball say that one!) the Rock, and the Son of God and we have been reading scriptures to go with them. The other day Tolman was trying to talk Reeve into making him a crown out of paper so that he could be a king. Earlier in the day he had drawn a picture of a crown and knew that his Dad could make him one. Reeve promised to do it if they could get the back yard cleaned up first. As they were pulling the weeds and getting the rocks out of the grass they were talking, the conversation that insued went something like this...
Tolman: "We could have a King party!"
Reeve: "Really?"
Tolman: "Yeah and we could have popcorn and treats... and orange juice!"
Reeve: " Orange Juice?"
Tolman: "You know like Jesus."
Reeve: "Jesus?"
Tolman: " Jesus was a King, King of the Juice (Jews)!"
I was giggling so hard when Reeve told me about it that I had tears in my eyes. He had been paying attention when we read scriptures or watched a church movie when they called Jesus the King of the Jews the whole time he thought they were saying juice. It was a wonderful oppertunity for us to teach him another name for the Savior. I am constantly amazed as I watch my children grow and the things they are learning about our Savior. I love seeing their testimonies develop and I am so grateful to be a part of that.

So Cute! About Reagan...I am thinking that he would love to play maybe while we are loading things up into the truck/trailer :)
I have a feeling that he will want to help out too much with that. Right now my kids are under quarantine...we went to the dr's today and were told that they have conjunctivitus (spelling?)-eye infection...so they can't be around others until Monday. Always good timing with these things, right?
By the way...you have been a great visiting teacher (sorry you got stuck with me for that long-heehee) and a FABULOUS FRIEND!!! I really hope that you and the kids will come over to swim and play. I would love that. You are great!

You are such an amazing mother, and you have some amazing kids! I love love love it when you have an 'a-ha!' moment of realizing that they DO listen to you and pick up on more than we think...even though the verbage sometimes gets a little mixed up! I don't think I will ever be able to drink OJ and not think of your Tolman-boy!
I hope you are feeling okay, That last while can sure be trying! Hang in there, maybe the kids will have to come play with Ben and Maddi at my house one day soon so you can have a good long nap!
