Crazy things Caden says

I should probably start a list of what comes out of this kid's mouth, but then I would be writing all day long. He talks way too well and way too much for a kid his age! I know where he gets it from so you don't need to rub it in :)

Anyway, we have discussed with him about saying stupid or dumb. He knows he can't call people that. Well of course now we can't use those words to describe anything. He corrects anyone he hears saying that word. Us, others in public, the television, etc. He is like the verbal police chief!

So get a load of a recent conversation on the way to Cory's game Saturday night.

Me: (some person or thing) was stupid for doing that.

Caden: Mom you can't say stupid.

Me: Okay Caden, sorry, that (person or thing) was unintelligent for doing that.

Caden: It was unintelligent for you to say stupid.

Are you laughing now...I hope so, this kid is crazy!

Another Request

There is another sweet family that needs your prayers today. Kenzie Stanfield is in labor with Baby Maddox right now. Please pray that all goes well and they can meet their little one alive and have some time with him. Check out their blog for more updates! Thank you prayer warriors!

UPDATE: Baby Maddox was born yesterday at 4:25pm and only took a few breaths before he went to be with the Lord. Please pray for Dusty, Kenzie, Deacon, and their entire family as they deal with things in the days to come! Also wonder over to their site and let them know you are praying for them. It really helps get them through!

Prayers and Praises

Here are a couple of updates I thought I should pass along...

Mary Grace was born on the 14th as scheduled. Praise the Lord she was born alive and her parents and sisters got to spend 7 hours with her before she went home to be with Jesus. Please continue to pray for the Summon's family as they deal with the details in the days to come. Check out their blog for pictures of the sweet angel from heaven they got to hold. Let them know you are praying for them!

Nathan blogs daily on the updates of Tricia and Gwyneth Rose. Tricia is coming off sedatives and waking up some. Gwyneth is getting stronger each day. He has posted some wonderful pictures of her! Praise God for that miracle baby! Please go to his blog and let him know you are praying for his girls!

Tristan Hostetter is alive and well today on Day 43! Praise God from whom all blessings flow. He is such a blessing to his family and those around him. Check on them at their blog and their updates of little Tristan each day!

I know some of you might think this is a waste of my time, but I feel led to pray for these families daily and to check on them! I know that God hears our prayers and when one or more are gathered He is there. I am telling you that there are several of us gathering daily for these and many others...won't you join us! God can do amazing and mighty things without us, but He chooses to include us and use us, come and get in on the blessing! It is wonderful!

Red River

Okay, here are the pics from the weekend...

We had lots of fun! The kids went sledding every day! The driveway is a perfect sledding hill, so we didn't even have to go to far! Saturday evening we rented snowmobiles and the adults minus Grammie went snowmobiling. It was great, a little too cold and fast at times for me, but great! The snow was beautiful and cold but we enjoyed it.

Kayla brought Guitar Hero and Kaci and Cory had a blast playing it!

Caden going down the mountain...

Cory got in on the action too! There were dear hanging out all over the grounds by the cabin. They didn't even run off when we were sledding!

Mary Grace

The last post had some prayer requests. Mary Grace was #5...today she needs to be #1. At 6:45AM her time, Kim went in for a C-section. Mary Grace is breach and must be delivered this way. Please storm Heaven's gates for this baby and her family. Also go to their blog and leave them an encouraging word! Prayer works people...that is why God gave it to us! Let's use it today for Mary Grace!

One more before vacation...

Okay, I posted some pics of each kid to tide everyone over until we return from our mini vacation. We are going up to the cabin with the entire Reid clan for one last trip before Cory's sister and her family leave. Please be in pray for the following things...

1. Safe travel up there, lots and lots of snow lately.
2. A great trip for all, no bickering, arguing, etc.
3. The kids to really enjoy each other one last time.
4. Kaci, Ryan, and the kids as they prepare to leave for Albania.
5. Also one of the moms on my prayer list, Kim Summons, will be having her baby soon, check on her and Mary Grace and say lots of prayers for them!

Thanks for the prayers! See you all when we return~!

My Two Workmen

Saturday the garbage disposal broke and my two worker bees got down to business. I am not sure actually how much work Caden did because he was too busy singing and playing, but the job finally got done! Cory is so handy around here, I love it!

These pictures are for Grandma Great...Cory used to help his Grandpa do all kinds of stuff like this, so we are teaching another generation!


Okay here is the singing part I told you about...it might be hard to see, sorry! But Cory had to take the shelf out under the sink to do his work. Caden thought it made the perfect stage. He also used an old piece off something as a top hat and was dancing and singing to his new favorite tune! He is obsessed with Bob the Builder, thanks Gigi! So here he is singing and performing to his new tune!

Carter loves to eat!

I am so amazed about what Carter will eat and how much he will eat! After Caden being so picky and not wanting to eat ever, this is all new to me! I busted open the canned spaghetti the other night and Carter went to town, he gobbled it up so fast! It was too cute, so I had to share!
