Daddy doesn't cry

While I was washing the windows today Deakan came by and said
"daddy doesn't cry does he mom"
nope he's pretty tough huh
"I'm pretty tough too mom"
yes you sure are honey
"when I'm big like daddy I won't cry anymore ok mom?"
Sounds good but don't grow up to fast!

Grandma

We were having breakfast and talking about the up coming events like Grandma coming to visit when we got to the topic of how big Deakan is getting. Then Deakan said "Mom, Grandma is big like you huh?" "Grandma better not jump on the jumpaline, she might break it and fall in the dirt!"

Thomas S Monson

Deakan was in nursery at church and it was his buddy Wyatt's turn to say the prayer. Well Wy got a little distracted during his prayer and started talking about his grandpa's horse and a few other items off topic. So Deakan with his arms folded and his eyes still closed leaned over to Wy and said "just bless Thomas S. Monson." What can I say we have taught him well, he never forgets to bless Thomas S. Monson in his prayers. He is the cutest little prayer in the world!
