Thomas! (And his friends.)

Photobucket

True story:

Riding home from dinner tonight, I was sitting in the backseat with Jothan. Over the radio airwaves we hear this song of little kids singing about Gordon B. Hinckley.

Me: "Hey Joth, do you hear that song on the radio? They are singing about Gordon B. Hinckley."

Joth: Listening intently. "Oh ya Mom they are!"

Me: "You know that Gordon B. Hinckley died and went to live with Heavenly Father and Jesus, right?"

Joth: "Ya Mom, now there is another Gordon, named Thomas!"

Leave it to my little four year old to recognize that A: We have a new "Gordon" (prophet) and B: That in the show Thomas and His Friends (You know which Thomas I speak of...) There is an engine named Gordon, and an engine named Thomas. I would have never put those two together.

Little Man, you totally RAWK, I love you so much!

Someone once pointed out to me that before Pres Faust died, the first pres was actually Thomas, Gordon and James. Like on the Thomas stories.

There is a precedent.
The ancient Nephites loved Nephi so much that they called all of their Kings Nephi. (see Jacob 1)

Jothan is such a cool guy!!

Oh Kim ... that is so cute. I absolutely love hearing what comes out of their mouths and how their brains work.

Thomas & Friends are coming up to Heber ... I will have to look at the dates. Maybe we can all plan a play date to take the boys up for the trip.

That is so funny, the other night Ryan said something similar in his prayers - he said "thank you that President Hinckley died for us" Garth and I were laughing so hard. I guess eventually they get it. Out of the mouths of babes! Kids are great. Thanks for the free newborn session offer - I was so hoping you could do it! I will be in touch. Love you tonz!
