Prayer Time

This picture was from our family reunion and it was time to pray and he was licking a sucker so he stopped and prayed. It was so cute!!
Running...he never walks he just runs wherever he needs to go.

Sweet Adeline

Beating on the box!

This was after church one Sunday and they were dancing and singing for us ( mainly Adeline was telling Max what to do)!

Being Silly...... She kept saying mommy take my picture!!

Running again!
Peek A Boo!
At dinner every night when its time to say the blessing Little Max stops whatever he is doing or eating and puts his hands together to pray. It is soooo sweet and he is so proud of himself for doing. He has done since he was around 12 months and it gets cuter and cuter. He does not close his eyes yet. :) Adeline is good about about saying her prayers at dinner and at night too. She prays for the funniest things sometimes. It depends on what she has been doing or who she has been with because they are top on her list. Her prayers usually start like this.....Dear Lord, thank you for Jesus...for mommy and daddy, max, my bed, Fairytale land, princesses, the Castle, my princess book ( the one from Janie) cookies and cakes, my juice, bows, Pops boat, Janie and Pop, then we go through Maxs side of the family. She always especially prays for Uncle Alex. She has always done this. The last time we got home from the lake and beach and she had been around everyone she prayed for Uncle Dale and Tripp several times in one prayer. I know Dale will not believe it, because she acts shy around him, but she does pray for him. Then we continue with Scarlotte, Georgia, Bethany and Baby Sterling as she calls him. Then she covers Re and Buck and Allison, MeMe( Emily), Rob, and Lulu, and Rob`s boat. She loves Robs boat and would ride it everyday if she could. Prayer time is something I am working on with Adeline. Her prayers can be so simple and she is truly thankful for the important people in her life. I am trying to teach her that their are other things in life to be more thankful for besides The Castle, Cinderella, and Fairytale land, but its hard to teach that to a 3 year old who is wakes up everyday and tells me she wants to go to the castle ( Disney World). She will ask you several times a day if you would like to go with her. She knows we are going and I cannot wait to see her face when she gets to actually see the real Castle and Cinderella!! I will ask her what is one thing that she is most thankful for everyday at night and her answers can be so sweet or so funny! It can be someone or something as simple as her crayons or her bed.
I am so thankful for both of my children and prayer time with them!
