Jake's first Primary Program

I was a proud Mama today. The primary had their annual sacrament program and since they know Jake is not shy, they asked him to share his testimony about being a child of God (in addition to the little one liners they gave everyone).
Here is a copy of his talk. They wanted it to be in their own words, but also wanted to have it printed in case the kids choked and needed some help. My friend Carolee thought of this idea to help Jake remember his talk. We put little pictures/stickers and when he saw them, he remembered what went along with it. (It worked great -- if you have non-readers giving talks soon try it out.)


I taped him saying the talk just so I could remember his sweet voice. I have such a crush on this little boy! BTW -- he told us his talk and I just helped him write it -- very cute. He is quite the intuitive boy.

He of course was so excited and wanted to invite everyone he knew to come see. We were so glad when our favorite next door neighbor Norma Gongwer was able to make it. They wouldn't cooperate for a good picture though -- surprise, surprise.

Another shot of my two handsome church boys.



Nothing better than a Sunday afternoon nap. :)

Very fun, I just love those programs. Your kids are SUPER cute and we can't wait to see what the new little one looks like. It's good to see how you guys are doing and thanks for rubbing in the beauty of Columbus; we really miss it there!!!!

What a great idea for remember what to say- so what are your plans for the holidays -- are you venturing west - or is Baby 3 to close to coming?

His talk is so cute -and it's even better to hear it out of Jake's mouth. The napping picture of Taylor and the kids is hilarious. None on them look very comfortable- but it is pretty cute.
