What's the most exciting thing going on at your house?

A long time ago my parents told some of their grandkids that they would give them $100.00 if they read the Book of Mormon by themselves. Lilly, whose ten, has started to try and accomplish that goal several times, with dollar signs in her eyes.

The other morning Lilly, Larkin, and I were doing our morning scripture study and the subject of "what would you give us if we read all of the scriptures all by our selves" came up.

They know that reading The Book of Mormon would get them some cash. But what about The Bible.

"Could I get a new bike?!" said Lilly with excitement in her eyes.

Then I said, "Well The Bible is a lot longer than the BofM. I would want to give you something better than a bike. I'd probably send you to Texas."

Lilly: REALLY! (with some almost tears in her eyes)

Me: Totally!

Larkin: I want to go too! If I read it can I go too?!

Me: Fur Sure! Totally! (I swear I'm not a valley girl. It just comes out that way some times)

So the next day at school Lilly told Turner(her cousin) about the deal. He got so excited. He asked his mom if he could have the same deal.

She said, "Fur Sure!" (We're sisters.)

Oscar is on board too. He can't wait to see his "best buddy" Sarger.

They have been reading everyday. Together. It's the cutest thing you've ever seen.

So all I have to say is watch out Paige. We're totally sending some kids your way!
(Paige is another sister who lives in Texas obviously and is the one they are all excited about seeing. They might be excited about seeing her kids too.)
