that it was a phone number from a girl named eliza later that week when andy took my volunteer spot at the school he heard a girl tell drew you are handsomer than my dad i think we better watch out for these girls eliza was really sweet she always passed the basketball to drew when they were on the same jazz basketball team later that year jesi age 4 after dropping a corel bowl full of oatmeal breaking into hundreds of sharp yet gooey pieces all over the tile floor of the kitchen i told her that it was okay it was just an accident jesi said there are no accidents mom the turtle tells that

to the store and let me buy a pet mom oh really feeling very guilty for never buying her a pet worried that that was what she was suggesting jesi remember when we were at the store yard sale and you didn t want me to get a kitty stuffed animal because it might have germs and then you said o k a y i guess sigh of relief maybe the stuffed kitty will keep her happy for a while drew age 5 with neighbor boy drew and one of his little neighbor friends knocked on the door when i opened it he said with his hands on his hips and one foot up on the door railing um we are missionaires we re just going to go to the church and have a barbeque at our house which he informed me was the mound on the corner of our lot which is typically his office where he goes to work most days the rest of the day whenever i would refer to him as drew he wasn t happy until i called him elder walker then he would break out into his adorable smile jesi age 4 the last month or two jesi has been so stubborn on the way we all fold our arms hands for prayer before we start she makes sure that everyone has their arms hands folded exactly like her which is always the opposite of whoever has already folded their arms then she smiles really big and lets us pray at least once during the prayer she makes everyone change to her new way of arm hand folding we have learned that it is much easier to go with her funny little ideas than deal with a tantrum hopefully heavenly father will forgive us all for peeking at her during prayer it is so cute to watch her try to squint her eyes her mouth is always in a big toothy smile when she squints she also likes to fold her doll s arms with one hand i have a picture of her doing this in her crib when she was younger so sweet jesi age 3 1 2 jesi has been so cute singing around the house the hymn how firm a foundation instead of singing in his excellent world she sings in his excellent twirled while repeatedly twirling around in a circle i didn t realize until much later that that is probably why she recently twirled up on the stand with all the other primary children during their program i knew she would be too shy to go up and sing with the other children but she amazed us all by not only going up but singing so loud that we could hear her voice loud and clear above the rest of the dozens of children she was in the front row and broke out in twirls in the middle of the song now i know why it was part of the lyrics in her version i love when the kids sing in primary drew holds jesi s hand on the way up to and back from the stand and it is absolutely darling and melts my heart every time drew age 6 today drew told me that he gave a girl named miranda our phone and that she is going to call our cell andy and i share a cell phone she is his friend his girlfriend according to drew this is about the 5th girl this year that he has exchanged phone s with why am i worried about his teenage years jesi age 3 while jesi was doing aerobics with me the aerobic instructor said to sweep a movement of the leg jesi left for a minute and came back with her little broom and proceeded to sweep reminding me of a little amelia bedelia she has also always called brooms sweeps which i have always thought was too adorable to correct drew age 5 today drew came home from running errands with andy and excitedly told me that they bought a new lawn hecker i said oh you guys found a lawn edger or a weed wacker drew insisted no mom a lawn hecker jesi age 3 jesi has always had a hard time saying family home evening it all kind of ran together and we could never understand her but ever since halloween last month we always know what she is talking about she now calls it hawoweevening maybe we should call it that every year in october to reminisce her adorableness jesi age 6 as we pulled up to the church to do a clean up project that andy was in charge of i was amazed at the number of people that showed up to help jesi said it s because everyone loves jesus mommy drew age 4 we were looking at a blanket that my mom had sewn with a snowman that was looking up in the sky it said do you see what i see i talked to drew about how it was about the new star in the sky when baby jesus was born drew said mommy i want to see jesus i want him to come visit us he brought tears to my eyes with his simple faith jesi age 3 mom how come you are so cute
