The other morning during breakfast Jaxton started doing line-up introductions for our family (like at the beginning of a ballgame). He was just making them up as he went, but I thought they were hysterical and totally creative.
Jilli loves to give kisses and loves to play . . . it's JILLI!
Beckam loves treats and loves to be tickled . . . it's BECKAM!
Jaxton loves to play soldiers and loves T.V. . . . it's JAXTON!
Mac loves to play soldiers and watch T.V. . . . it's MAC!
Mom loves to give kisses and loves to cook . . . it's MOM!
And this was probably my favorite . . .
Dad loves to watch football and loves to . . . (deep concentration) sit down! . . . it's DAD!
I couldn't help but laugh and I had to call Nate to tell him, which he didn't find as much humor in it as I did. Not long after, Jaxton came up with another one for Nate which wasn't quite as funny, but suited him better.
Dad loves to watch football and loves to wrestle . . . it's DAD!

Jilli continues to stand up more and more and is gaining confidence with every day. She also loves to shake her head back and forth and will wave, but only to her favorite people. Today I looked at a picture that we had just taken of her, and for a split second I saw a 12 year old instead of my baby. I'm so afraid that all my babies are going to grow up too fast and it makes me sad to think about.

Mac continues to be super wonderful, but very DRAMA! Everything is either fun, fun, fun or something to get upset over. His reading is getting so good and he seems to be somewhat of a math whiz. We'll be in the grocery store and he'll grab a box of cookies and without even thinking about it he'll say something like, "This bag has 12 in it, so everyone in our family could get 2 each." Both Mac and Jaxton are getting really good at checkers. Now when I play checkers with Mac, I have to play my very best or I'll get whooped!

Beckam is sweet Beck. He got to go overnight camping for the first time on Friday for our ward campout, and he seemed to enjoy every bit of it. Although he didn't complain through the night, he must not have got a whole lot of sleep because he came home and fell asleep at 3:00pm and didn't wake up until the next morning at 7:00am. What a trouper!
