Conversations with a 4 year old

So Gavin and I were in the kitchen the other day talking over a snack of crackers and he proceeded to have this conversation with me :

Gavin: Mom is God the good one or the bad one?
Mom: The good one, Why?
Gavin: Just wondering...........does he have a HUGE clock up there or something??
Mom: Hmm.......I don't know why??
Gavin: Well....so he knows when people should die??
Mom: Oh well I think he just knows when it is our time........???
Gavin: I cant wait to die!!!
Mom: WHAT????? Why??????
Gavin: Well then I get to meet GOD!!!!! That is going to be AWESOME!!!!
Mom (under her breath) : Well I can wait for you to die!?!?!?!
Gavin: Mom cant you wait till you die???
Mom: Yeah I am excited to meet God and it will happen in his time!!!

Jeepers Creepers!!! How do you have these conversations with a 4 year old and how do they come up with these things?!?!?!?!?!?
I thought this was too cute not to document!!! And it also makes me very happy to know that my child wants to meet God!!! :)

Christmas Stockings!!!!!

Nummy presents from Harriet :)

Stocking time!!!!! :) Reed checking out what "Santa" brought!!!

It cracks me up how Gavin still try's to figure out how Santa gets in when we dont have a fireplace!!!! :)

SWEET INNOCENCE!!!!!

Christmas at Aaron & Kari's

Solomons 1st Sled Ride!!!

Having some playtime in the new Snow that we were getting that weekend!! (Good thing Daddy likes to play in it, because Mommy doesn't!!!)

Our God-Son Solomon........What a little doll he is!!! :)

So this would be what happened......oh........about 1 hour after we got to Nate's Cousin Aaron's house for Christmas on the 19th of Dec. Apparently it is way fun to run and jump on and off other peoples stairways even after Mom tells you to settle down!! Well he was running to jump onto the stairs and I heard a loud thud, we turned and looked at him and asked if he was alright and he was laying on the step holding his head and said that he was fine ( I think he was embarrassed..) I asked him like 3 more times and he kept saying he was fine so we went on with our conversation and about a minute late Gavin cam up to me holding his hand, that was completely covered in blood, out to me and he said that something was wrong!!! I tried to remain calm and get the bleeding under control and apply pressure so I could tell how bad it was and then Nate & Aaron came back from the store so we assessed the situation and also Aaron & Kari have a DR. that lives in there development, so Kari called him up to ask his opinion on what to do and he said that what I was doing was exactly right and that they really only stitch for 2 reasons 1) To stop the bleeding (which I had done) 2) For Cosmetic Reasons (no big deal there he has enough scars to show & his hair would cover it anyway) So after we got that out of the way we decided that we were not going to have it stitched and sent the boy's out to get some Steri Strips at the drug store and we just threw some of them on (after a small haircut with Aaron's electric razor!!) and he was good as new!!! but WOW what a start to the holidays!!! :) Never a Dull moment!

Solomon opening his 1st Christmas present EVER!!!! :)

"OK.....I think I have had enough of this present stuff!!! "

Reed taking over Murphy's bed!!! :)

"What is going on here????????"

Murphy getting his Christmas Present!!!

The Start of Christmas!!!!

This was the 1st year that we had a REAL Christmas Tree in like 8 yrs!!! And it was the cutest little 5 footer I've seen :) So the boy's were helping me put the decorations on after I got all the lights on (700 lights on my little tree!!)

It was SOOOOO beautiful!! Nothing makes me smile more than sitting with no other lights on but the tree during Christmas!! I LOVE IT!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Well again it has been way to long since I have written, but not much has changed other than the fact that we just got over a nasty strain of the flu :(

Reed and I had it for about 3-4 days!!! YUCK!

Well I thought I would post some pictures of our Christmas and such! Enjoy and Happy New Year!!!
