I read in an Ensign article about reading scriptures with little kids. It suggested to have the toddler repeat one verse a night.  We've been doing this for months now and I've been surprised how well RJ stays interested and follows the stories and reminds us if we forget.   So far he's actually really  liked it, I hope I can continue this as that's always something that was hard to keep going when I was growing up.

After we found out Rhett's dad passed away, we spent the week in Delta preparing for the funeral.  Here's our niece sleeping in with Ellie.

RJ actually had a pretty great week with the boys.  Since he was a baby he's loved the boy cousins and tries to fit in and be one of the boys.  They're all really close and always let RJ cuddle with them while they watch shows.  It always surprises me how RJ will just waltz up and snuggle on one of the boy's shoulders and they just scoop him up and let him get cozy.  Even the older teenagers are really nice to his unexpected affection.  

Ellaria sleeps with her hands totally sprawled like RJ would.

It's rare lately to get a picture of RJ's real smile, he always just does a fake grin.
