Home Teachers

Yesterday Dylan went home teaching with Devon because Devon's partner's wife had her baby just hours before. He was so excited to go with him. He sat really still and listened well, and even made a few comments when he was asked to. When he got home he told Jayden how much he loved going, and when Jayden asked him why, he just said "I don't know how to explain it, I just did." I love these fun little teaching moments and seeing my children grow and learn to love the gospel!

While out home teaching one of the families saw him wiggling his tooth. They told him if he wiggled it enough it would fall out that day. So he started to wiggle it... and wiggle it... and wiggle it... and wiggle it. All through church he wiggled it till it was nearly ready to fall out. It wasn't even straight in his mouth anymore.


He thought it was so silly. He wanted to pull this one out himself, since he had me pull the first two out for him.


And finally just before bed he let me try. I pulled and pulled, but it was still kind of stuck in one spot. He didn't want Devon to try, so finally I told him to close his eyes for one last pull, and I had Devon pull it out. We didn't realize how stuck that thing still was, even with how loose it was. But Devon got it out. I hope Dylan doesn't feel too betrayed that I let his dad pull it out. He wanted it out so bad, and it was bothering him so much, I figured it would be worth it. And it was... even if it hurt a little more than we thought it would. He was really tough and then really glad it wasn't bothering him any more.

Side note: look how cool this Yoda wall sticker is! I am almost done making Dylan's room a Star Wars Room. I can't wait to finish it. If only life would slow down a little!
