True Love

From a friend of Suzy's

"I wanted to tell you that yesterday River came home and said that he and Kate were playing at recess and some of the kids said I dare you to kiss.  River said he walked over to Kate and said “Kate I do love you, but I am not going to kiss you because it is too early.”  Kate said “ Yeah WAY to early!”  I told River that was good not to give in to peer pressure and they are right it is WAY too early!  I guess we can be proud we are raising kids who can be strong enough to tell other kids to buzz off!  Yeah Us"

I don't know about you, but my favorite part was the "Kate, I do love you, but" Hello! These kids are 6! Luckily they're keeping their wits about them.

Farmer's Market

Suzy and I took a trip to the Boise Farmer's market yesterday morning. It was fun just walking around while the kid were at Grandma's. I did notice a few things, for example, you can get a TWIG for only $2! if you can believe it! (Top left on the sign)




Nothing says delicious like peas, and nothing says SUPER delicious like poo + peas!



Yeah, that bike is covered in a hand knitted sleeve.

gotta love Boise! We also got some Brioche bread that is simply delicious (too bad it's not poo-Brioche, then it could be Super delicious). 

They had other fun things, like Elk meat, buffalo and lots of fruits and veggies. And fungus.  

Baptism

In the car ride home from Church today, Kate informed us that she can't wait to be baptized. She even has  a plan. When she's baptized she wants Mom to tell her every time before she starts to do something wrong so that way she'll have a whole day where she's "pure" (her words).

Suzy asked if she learned about baptism or something in Class, but apparently she decided this when a newly baptized 8 yr old was being sung to in Primary.

She also bore her testimony the other week about prayer and the bullfrog (the bullfrog got out of the bucket in the back of the Pilot and Suzy and them thought it was a gonner, but later found it after saying a prayer).  She's a special little girl.
