Just kidding!

I thought I was done but I wasn't!! I forgot to tell about the other broken car incident and then one more funny thing from the kids. At the end of the camping trip we got all packed up and headed back down the hill for home and low and behold, POP--my tire blew! A very good samaritan stopped to help but I didn't even know IF I had a spare let alone a jack or where any of it was! So as I unloaded the trunk and attempted to find what I had, he waited patiently. I found the tire but didn't find a jack so he started looking for one in his car. Luckily for the good samaritan his job was done because Alex and Nicole pulled up just then. He quickly jumped in his car and was off and LUCKY, LUCKY Alex got to deal with the problems! Thanks Alex, we really LOVE you! Nicole very quickly found the jack, way to go smartie pants! And Alex got the blown tire off, I didn't think about pictures but it would have been a good one. We eventually figured out how to get the spare tire off and Alex got it on and let the car down, only to find out that the spare, that has apparently never been used, was flat!! So he jacked it back up and took off the flat spare and then took me in to town to get a new tire, which they had to pay for because I left my wallet in the broken down van--DUH!! Then drove me back out and put the new tire on! What an adventure!

Now a funny story. Andrew came in a couple of nights ago, after playing with a couple of the girls in the neighborhood, and informed me that Charity (see previous posts with the cute blonde sitting in the chair with him) LOVES him so much that she is going to marry him when they get big. But also, Delaney (another beautiful blonde that lives across the street) also loves him and is going to marry him TOO!! So this was pretty funny but then yesterday at the church cleaning Charity's mom was telling me about how Charity told her that she is going to marry Andrew because he is just so nice and has such a nice soft voice, I can't remember what all, and that she is going to write to him while he is on his mission. We thought that was pretty funny and wondered how a 5 year old even knows about such things.

So THEN, yes this story is getting long I know, last night I was asking Andrew if he was going to go on a mission. He says "what's a mission" I said that is when you go and teach people about the church, his response" "OH, I am DEFINITELY NOT signing up for that!!!!" His exact words. Of course I bust out laughing and then ask him why, I said don't you want to tell people about the church and Heavenly Father and Jesus so they can be happy like we are? His response: "I am NOT happy about that church! I don't want to go there anymore!!!" While this sounds kind of like a major dilemma, I just laughed again as I am pretty sure he just feels that 3 hours is too long to have to sit and be quiet!
