King Who?/Obedience

Maddie was playing with her princesses last night.  She got a set of Sophia the 1st for Christmas and was quite facinated with all the characters.  We do not have cable or satalite so she has not seen an episode before and was asking us all sorts of questions about them.  Elizabeth was using her new phone to look up the answers.  She discovered the names of the characters and delighted Maddie with the information.  Elizabeth was then so sweet and came in to help me make dinner.  As we made dinner together we kept hearing Maddie from the play room, "What was the name of the King?" "Richard the 3rd." Then a few minutes later, "What was the name of the King?" "Richard the 3rd." Then she came into us and said, what is the name of the girl that kisses the King on the mouth?" Then started making kissing noises so I would know what she ment.  Elizabeth answered, "Maranda."  "Okay." and she was again off and playing.
 

While my sister was here my Mom reqested we take a picture of Michael and my niece.  This was not easy task to get two 1 year olds to sit nicely with each other and both look at the camera at the same time.  This is the best we could get.  
 
 
This is what it was really like.
"3 And it came to pass that he was obedient unto the word of the Lord, wherefore he did as the Lord commanded him."
He was obedient and did what was commanded of Him. I want to be known as someone who is obedient to the Lord and that the Lord can depend on me and know that if He asks for something I will obey.

WE ARE EXPECTING BABY #5

Yes, you read it correctly. The Thornton Family is expecting a new baby in Dec. 2012. We are very excited. Today we made the announcement to our 4 children and I am sure that each of you heard their screams of excitement. Maddison immediately told us that it was going to be a boy but then after a few minutes decided that we need one boy and one girl. John Derek would like the baby to be a boy so that he can have a brother. Samantha would like the baby to sleep in her room. Elizabeth would like the baby to have brown hair so that more kids in the family would look like her. Then the conversation turned to names. Here are some of their favorites: Elizabeth wants: Sarah, Eva, Evelyn, or Eve, and if it is a boy Phineas or Ferb Samantha wants: Sam or Ammon John Derek wants: Johnny Maddison wants: Cinderella and Johnny So here we go. Taking on a new adventure of 5 children with faith that we are following our Father in Heaven's desires for our family. In this last conference Pres. P

Elizabeth

My darling Elizabeth is so wonderful.  At Church I had the pleasure of talking to different people about the great girl she is.  I was in the mother's room, feeding Michael, and talked to two other moms.  We were discussing the joys and difficulties of raising children.  I talked about how I couldn't do it without my Elizabeth.  How she is my right hand.  She is so good and stepping in and making breakfast or lunch.  She loves to make pancakes with chocolate chips.  She is great with Michael.  I know that I can give him to her and he will be well taken care of.  As soon as we pull into the garage she exclaims, "I'll get Michael!" then leaps out of the car and takes him out.  I don't know what I would do without her.  When Michael was first born and I was constantly feeding, sleeping, and trying to hold the house together she did so much.  She was such a huge help.  She is going to be a great mother some day.  She is so good at talking to children and
