Give me liberty or give me death!

Well we just finished Thomas Jefferson and I cried. My son says I have a tender heart. Well, when you read out loud "Give me liberty or give me death" (Patrick Henry) and "Thomas Jefferson was one of the Greatest Leaders America has ever known." It brings me to tears that My Son is studying to be a great leader like that. Big Sigh...
I guess "I am" tender hearted.

What she said and what he said...

She said:

Daughter: Mommy, I am going to marry Wyatt.

Me: Uh, (thinking NO WAY but said...) Oh, why do you want to marry Wyatt?

Daughter: Because he is nice to me.

Me: Oh, I see. Well, is he a Prince of God?

Daughter: No.

Me: Well, only a daughter of God can marry a Prince of God. (Point, set,.... BUT WAIT her wheels are turning in her head)

Daughter: Oh he is a Prince of God today though. It is Sunday. Me: Ugh.

He said:

(this was after the two of them bickered a little at the table)

Me: Stop arguing.

Daughter: I am not arguing.

Me: I have had enough for "Pete's Sake."

Son: No mommy, it is for "PEACE SAKE."

James, ME, Daughter, Son, Grandparents: Laughing so hard!

Me: You are a clever one, my son.

End of the Boating Season

Date Log Entry:
Nov. 14th,2009 was our last day out on the lake! Can you believe that we can go to the lake this late in the season? Do you want to know the crazy thing about it? The water was only 62 degrees and the air was only 69 degrees. If you know me at all you know anything below 70 degrees is too cold! BUT......

JAMES KNEE BOARDED! OH YES HE DID!
He did great! 360 with ease and cleared the wake! Oh you rock, baby!

(this is him wake boarding not knee boarding. I will post the knee boarding soon)

This was the season that I met the youngest wake boarder ever!
