Presidents Day 2010


This year the boys made fun books to tell us what they would do if they were President. I got this idea from Michael's.com. We also listened to the Presidents Song and Clayton has the first 5 and the last 10 down!! This was such a fun activity to do!









Let's start with Evans! While I did most of the work the fun part was watching his absolute head nods and "yea" to the things I suggested. Then he got to pick and choose from those things. Such a cutie!















I was drawing and writing while holding the baby, so it actually looks like he did the work himself!! Oh well, I do my best.
















This phrase was completely his own! I thought this was so funny and somewhat true.

















This speaks to the very heart of Evan. Without fail everyday he wakes up asking for something ridiculously sweet. So I'm sure that if he were President someday he would ask for some sort of tax credit for the purchase of candy!! Then he'd have to implement some sort of reimbursement program for Dentist visits.













Now for Mr. C's book!


















Of course he would drive a train!! What else would a train loving President do?!

















I have my mom to thank for this one. He LOVES those butter and jelly sandwiches! Why not have everyone at least try one?
















Ahh, the sweet mind of being 6!!

What a fun morning!

I pray that my boys will grow up to be leaders. Whether they be husband's and fathers that lead their families in faith, or leaders of business, or of this nation! If his spiritual gift is "leadership, let him govern diligently"(Romans 12:8). That you be humble men of God who lead by your example (1 Peter 5:3). To "live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love" (Ephesians 4:1&2).

The last verse is also my prayer for Kenneth and myself. To be humble and gentle, patient and bearing with each other in love.

God Bless

Playing the Leck Way!!











Let's play the Leck way!!
Yes, this is truly one of our favorite ways to play together. It is loud, crazy and fun!! The boys love the opportunity to play with dad. They can express themselves with the beat of their own drum!!
We love listening to them cheer when daddy pulls out the instruments and lays them on the floor. We all participate, trading instruments and trying to find the right rhythm. These are my favorite kinds of memory making moments. The kinds where I don't need to take pictures or video(except to share them with you). I capture these moments in my heart and mind knowing full well how priceless this time is. These family treasures cannot be achieved the same way that taking them to Chuck E. Cheeses can (although we do those types of things as well). The impact that these moments have will last a lifetime and more!! The BEST part of it is that its FREE!!! We stay home and play until we are all played out. Whew! When the night is done, I'm thankful for the peace and quiet! My ears are ringing but my heart is singing about the joy of having and being a family.
"You thrill me, Lord, with all you have done for me!
I sing for joy because of what you have done."
Psalm 92:4




Here are some more pictures we took that night enjoy!
"celebrate His wonderful name with music"
Psalm 135:3













"Praise Him with the tambourine and dancing praise Him with stringed instruments and flutes!
Praise Him with a clash of cymbals; praise Him with loud clanging cymbals."
Psalm 150:4-5

I am truly blessed!
WE ROCK!!
