And Daddy bless me!

This is just a cute little story about Mya. A couple of weeks ago for Family Home Evening we had a lesson on the Priesthood. We talked about how it is a special power that Heavenly Father gave to Daddy and other men to bless us when we need it. We told Mya that when she was a baby she had a blessing to give her a name. We went on to tell her that Daddy can give her a blessing when she is sick or scared or needs special help from our Father in Heaven. We explained that Daddy would put his hands on her head and give her a blessing. Well, on Monday, I decided that I would take the kids to get the H1n1 shot at the Davis Conference the next day. I figured that I should start preparing Mya so she wouldn't freak out when we got there and she had to get a shot. Mya told me "I cannot like shots" and I told her that it will help keep her from getting sick. Mya immediately responded with "I go to Dr. Rose and Daddy bless me!" I couldn't believe she remembered that Scott can give her a blessing when she is sick. Family Home Evening is not always the easiest thing to do and it usually last about 5 minutes but I guess it is well worth it. Mya always amazes me how much she is paying attention even when I don't think she is listening to a single word I say.

It so amazing the things that children can remember! I guess thats why we have always got to be the best example for our children! Your family picture is super cute. I hope all is well, we need to get together and do lunch sometime. It's been awhile since I talked to you or seen you.
