After a good reprimand from a friend, who said I needed to post more of the cute things the boys say or do, I am posting a quick post to do just that.
Ben has always been a good pray-er. But, lately he's been blowing me away with the thoughts he has, and the things he prays for, or about.
In one prayer, he said "Please help the bad guys want to repent and be good guys." I about died. 'Cause neither Joe or I ever prayer for "the bad guys to repent". It wasn't something he was repeating from us. It was something he was thinking about, and knew was a good thing (for bad guys to repent) and so he prayed for it.
And lately, he'll ask about the bad guy on a show...like Zurg, or Scar, etc. He'll ask, "Is he a bad guy?" I say "yeah", he says, "I'm gonna baptize him." I tell him that would be a great idea. He wants these things! I love it.
It is sweet, and I am praying everyday to be able to help him maintain this awesome desire into adulthood.
It has been on my mind, more lately, that parenthood is such an incredible responsibility. We hold these little children in our arms and we are to mold them and help the Lord shape them into the people they are suppose to be -to reach their greatest potential.
Ben has been driving it home, to me, that kids start out full of the spirit and full of the desire to do good. What they learn from us as their parents will either add to that or detract from it. I am ever prayerful for the Lord's help in this great calling of parenthood. Kids! What a blessing! What a responsibility!
Wouldn't It Be Nice...
...if a genie could really grant you three wishes.

A Little About Our Family
Joe and I have been married for nine years, and we have three adorable little boys, with another little boy on the way! Joe a fuels manager and is home more, and I get to stay home and be a mom. Ben is our oldest -he's 7 1/2! He is a fantastic reader and an incredible older brother to Kade and Carter. He is outgoing and very good. Kade is our second son. He is 5 1/2 already and is so funny and just started Kindergarten. He's very outgoing, can solve any problem and figure out how anything works. Carter is 2 1/2 years old. He's the cutest little guy!! He is very independent, and wants to do everything himself. The four Harris boy is due late November. We can't wait for him to arrive. We have been SO blessed.
