my boys.....

Why God Made Little Boys
God made a world out of His dreams,
of magic mountains, oceans and streams,
Prairies and plains and wooded land.
Then paused and thought
I need someone to stand, on top of the mountains,
to conquer the seas, explore the plains
and climb the trees.
Someone to start out small and grow,
sturdy and strong like a tree and so
He created boys, full of spirit and fun
To explore and conquer, to romp and run
With dirty faces, and banged up chins
With courageous hearts and boyish grins.
And when He had completed the task He'd begun,
He surely said, "That's a job well done."

comrades...

jack and kaiden have been the best of buddies their whole lives (all 7 years). i've been 'cleaning' out old pictures, and found one of my favorites!! the boys were having an afternoon snack with a can of Coke (what was i thinking??) and they were making each other laugh. the more they laughed, the more the Coke came out their noses....i know,it's totally gross but when you're 7, it's the funniest thing in your world. i have to admit, this moment was one of those that i stepped back and really, really laughed. those of you with boys, can REALLY appreciate this! :)
