Me: I’m so tired!
Ty: Mommy, you can’t take a nap because Daddy isn’t home.
Me: True, but if you all took a nap then I could!
Chase: No! If we all take naps then people will think our house is for sale!

Jackson: Dear God, please make Lily’s shoes size 4,000 so that they’ll fit her. Amen.

Chase: Dear God, please zap us to Maine and Vermont right now! Amen.

Ty: Daddy said that he hoped we would catch a fish yesterday, so that we could eat it for lunch.
Me: Was Daddy going to clean and cook it?
Ty: No, he said you would.
Me: But I don’t know how!
Ty: You could look it up on YouTube.

Jackson (completely out of the blue): Mommy, did you know I’ll miss you when you’re up in Heaven?
Me: That’s nice of you to say!
Jackson: Will you miss me? Cause I’ll really miss you.

Ty, to Nick: Do you know why Mommy gets to sleep longer than the rest of us?
Nick: No, why?
Ty: Because she does more work then the rest of us!
(I swear, I didn’t put him up to that – ha!)





A positive answer to Chase’s prayer would result in near-rapture. He (or all of you) wouldn’t be translated to heaven but it would be the next best thing.
LOL at it being the next best thing!
Such memorable comments from the little ones!
I wanted to comment on your blog tonight to mention that a staff member from our church is SO EXCITED to be coming to Kansas City tomorrow to attend a conference at your church!! I wish I could be coming with her!
How fun, Nellie! Nick said it was a great first day
