Jesus drives a trash truck

Some stories just need to be blogged about. This one in particular.

So Tuesday morning the trash trucks woke us all up. (Its really SO annoying that 3 trash trucks have to reverse down our culdesac with their back up beeps blaring at 6am every Tuesday but thats a whole different rant) So when we were leaving the house Olivia saw the trash cans out front and said in her little excited voice, "Mom, jesus picked up our trash" I was a little confused so I asked her "Jesus drives a trash truck?" She laughs and says, "Yeah Mom, He picks up our trash in his trash truck." I asked her where He took the trash after he picked it up in his truck and she told me "He takes it to his house." That was that, she had nothing else to say so I chalked it up to her beautiful imagination and left it at that.

The next day she shut Toby in our hot garage and locked the door behind him. I was more than fed up with their fighting by this time of the day and feeling pretty dramatic (me...dramatic...I know?!?!) so I scolded her that Toby could DIE if he got stuck in the hot garage. With the straightest face she could give me she told me "Its ok mom, we could just put him in the trash can and Jesus can pick him up and take him home with him."

Just then I realized why Jesus drives a trash truck in her mind. A couple of months ago, there was a dead bird in our back yard.I dutifully picked him up with the dust pan and threw him in the trash can. Olivia was very sad that he could fly anymore so I told her the truth...that now he gets to go by with Jesus up in Heaven. And duh...how else would he get there if Jesus didn't pick him up in his fancy ride...the trash truck...on their way up to Heaven?

Slacking

So I can't believe that its been two weeks since I got back from Colorado and still haven't uploaded these pictures or blogged about it. I am totally slacking lately. Start of the trip photo with mom:

So we got into Denver late the first night. Ate at Sonics and headed home to see Georgie. He was very excited to see us. (But didnt like the hat I bought him...hmm..I wonder why?

The next day was shopping day. And we Kahn's don't take shopping lightly. Here is a couple of pics of the damage we did. (We had to bring home an extra suitcase to fit our share. We're REDICILIOUS! (I'm not denying it)

Sunday we went to Lacey's church. Its called Vanguard and they meet in an old movie theater. It was awesome. Now I know why she missed it so much when she was home. Amazing doesn't begin to describe the feeling I got when I was there. God was definitely there, and it takes a lot for me to really feel something at a church that is not my own. I wish I could fly out every week to go there...it was that good.
After church we drove two hours to a quaint little mountain town called Brekenridge. Lots of little boutique-y little shops. Very cute. Here is a picture of the ski slopes minus the snow. It looked really cool.

Lots of good food, quality company, and good times had by all. I was very sad to leave Lacey and Ben but glad that we will see them in a couple of months for Christmas. We are hoping and praying that they can move closer someday. (SOON)

Look who is in a BIG BOY BED

I've been dying to turn Toby's crib into a bed for weeks but Kevin made me wait until I got back from Colorado. He was so excited when he saw it, he just kept saying over and over "Check it Out, check it out!!!" So freakin' cute. (And what's weird, if memory serves me correctly, Liv kept saying that exact thing when I got her her big girl bed...but I could be wrong) He has done fine, hasn't gotten up once, which I'm not surprised. When he has his thumb and snuggle his world is complete. Here he is, you can see the proudness on his face...his sweet little big boy face.
