Lincoln gave the lesson at Family Home Evening tonight. He explained that faith is like building a house. The first layer is like the cement. The next layer is the wood. Next comes the roof. Then you have the bricks and stucco. Last, you have food. Ha!  Smart kid!  After that he told us the story from the Book of Mormon about Captain Moroni and Zarahemna.  He did a great job!  He also made dinner tonight. Mac and Cheese!  Yum!

Now That it's the End of June, How About we Look at Lincoln's Birthday?

Lincoln had a great 7th birthday.  We celebrated with a few of his friends.  We went to Laser Mania and had a great time playing laser tag and arcade games.

On April 8th we had another celebration!  Lincoln woke up to birthday pancakes which is our tradition.  Next, Lincoln was excited to see some gifts waiting for him to open.  He was so excited about a lot of the items he had his eye on.  He even got a hamster!  After opening presents we headed to school.

The science fair happened to be on Lincoln's birthday.  He did a great project about balloons.  It was awesome!  After he presented his project to his class, they did their special birthday celebration where they circle around the birthday boy and sing happy birthday.  Then he gets to blow on them like they are candles.  Then Mrs. Spainhower has a kissing frog that gives the birthday child kisses.  It was so sweet.

It was a great day!  Happy 7th birthday, Lincoln!

One of Lincoln's new hobbies is to write and illustrate comic books.  He loves to make comics about one of his favorite characters, Captain Underpants.  His comics are filled with adventure and creativity.  Today while making his comic he said, "I am drawing a fancy restaurant called Burgers and Fries.  The only thing they serve is burgers and fries, so yeah... it's pretty fancy."  I LOVE his imagination.
Lincoln requested that I write this, "Tippy was a bad guy and broke into the restaurant ceiling."  See what I mean about his imagination?

Another of Lincoln's teachers came to me to tell me a story.  Lincoln had a stuffy nose and he went over to get a tissue in his classroom.  An aide asked him if he had a cold.  Lincoln replied and said, "No.  I'm not sick.  My nose just isn't working properly."  Funny!
