Funny Things Kids Say

I was going through some of the funny things my Gavin has said and thought I would post a couple:


Krista and Gavin were playing wii today. I heard Gavin tell her, "Luigi will be punished for his own sins and not for Mario's transgressions."


---------------------------
I instant messaged one of my friends this:  Gavin wants a "boys night in" - he, Rex and Brady could watch "chicken flicks."

Minor Alterations

Saw this performed at my son's band concert last night and enjoyed it.  It's a medley of Christmas songs done in a minor key.  I hope you like it as well.

Little Thor Commercial

I haven't ever watched Thor.  Didn't even realize what the kid was trying to do in this video till the end, but when I got to the end I laughed out loud.  Cute and funny.

Things Kids Say

Primary is the children's organization at my church.  Every year the primary puts on a program for the rest of the congregation.   I received this in an email from my mom this week:


Our Primary Program was yesterday and it was a great meeting as always.  The one that stole the show though was our autistic boy.  His mom kept bringing him up and he would chicken out.  At least once he was leading his mother up there.  About the 4th time he finally said his part jumped off the stool and said “We did it!”  We were all praying for him to succeed.

And from my sister-in-law, who replied back to all of us :

We had a pretty funny moment.  The classes were sitting together with their teacher holding a microphone in the middle.  When it was the sunbeams turn, one 4 year old named John Arlie was asked by his teacher (who's also his mom) what makes him happy.  He answered, "Boogers."  To which his 3 year old cousin Brayden responded in all seriousness, "Ooooh, that's a good one."

Validation

When I was first introduced to this video I was determined not to smile.  Well, not so determined, more like, "yea, it's probably not as good as everyone is making this out to be."  It didn't take long though and I was...smiling.

Niagara Falls

Since first seeing a picture of Niagara Falls I wanted to see it in person.  A couple of years ago it became a goal and last year I accomplished that goal on a vacation with my family.  Beautiful!



We even road on the Maid of the Mist to the bottom of the waterfall.  It was a blast getting wet by all the sprays of water.  The power of it just rumbles through you.











Rex and Gavin having some fun up on the walk along the river and falls.

What Is the Purpose of My Life? What Am I Going to Do?

This video is a great example of the wonderful people there are in the world. Narayanan Krishnan is a man who quit his job not only to feed those in need, but to give them love and affection as well.
