happy face

Pregnancy is starting to wear on me and I was extremely tired one evening. Deakan wants me to watch him alot, he has lots of tricks to show and not a very big audience. So after about an hour of trying to nap/rest on the couch while basically ignoring him he came to me and said "Mom watch this!" I said "I'm to tired to watch you do tricks, leave me alone for one minute." His reply was "Mom, you need to work on having a happier face." Yes, Deakan I do.

I dare ya

I had the Stake Relief Society over to my house to train me as the second counselor. It was mid morning so I assumed the boys would be fine just watching TV and playing. Well, they came into the dining room several times telling me they were hungry. I just brushed them off since it was in between breakfast and lunch. After about an hour of regular requests for something to eat Deakan came in and said "Mom, I dare you to make me something to eat." The ladies loved it so after they left I told him I'd make him anything he wanted. Blue heart shaped pancakes were his request. Funny boy.

Age

Mom did you know when you get old you die?
Yes, I did.
So is Grandpa O going to die?
Not for awhile.
What's he going to live to, a million?
Most people don't live past one hundred honey.
How old is Grandpa O?
He's 62.
Deakan proceeded to count from 62 to 100.
See honey he's got a long time before he dies.
Yep, but he's the next to go.

Heaven

Deakan and his buddy Corey who is his same age were in the back seat while we were driving home from school on a nice sunny day. We had the windows down and they started talking about things blowing away like houses and dogs. Corey said "You are going to blow away Deakan." Deakan replied "if I blow away I want to blow all the way to Jesus." "Jesus lives in the clouds." said Corey. "No he doesn't he lives past the clouds, past outer space and the other worlds to where God is, but when you pray we can feel him right next to you."
