A movie and a Mossa

The kids loving Mossa while we watched a movie together. It's Carter's new favorite thing to do: watch a movie with Mossa.

Carter's Testimony

Carter recently bore his testimony in Church after he saw all the other kids doing it. It was cute and he loved talking to everyone on the microphone. Today, while at home on a Saturday, he said he wanted to bear his testimony. I asked him what he wanted to say and this was his reply:

"I know this house is true."

Funny Almost Profanity from Carter

Today Carter grabbed a fork and playfully attacked Fabiane with it (no one was injured).

Fabiane: Carter what are you doing?

Carter: I'm forking you!

Mossa

We have a new addition to the family! Her name is Mossa (in portuguese the two S's would be a "C" with a cedilia but we couldn't put that on the name tag. It means little girl or young woman). She's a 3.5 month old American Pit Bull Terrier and is a lot of fun. We've had her for a week and a half now and we love her. She's very playful but mostly just wants to have her ears scratched and be petted. Carter loves her, of course, and finally today, Fabiane said she does too. She was reluctant to love a dog but Mossa got to her. She likes to go for walks, though mostly it's to see who else is outside because she loves people.

We recognize there is a stigma with Pit Bulls that they are very dangerous. So we did some research first and found that while they are very dangerous if they attack, because they are such powerful dogs, an extremely high majority (like 99.9%) of them are very friendly with people. They were originally bred to take down bulls for butchers and ranchers and later for fighting other dogs and animals. But they were also bred to be very submissive and friendly with people so that they wouldn't pose a threat to their masters. She's just a puppy, but so far Mossa has proven to be VERY friendly with people.

Welcome to the family Mossa!

Beware of the Prophet

Fabiane: Carter it's General Conference and we get to listen to the prophet. Do you know who the prophet is?

Carter looks quizzically at Fabiane

Fabiane: It's President Monson

Carter: President Monster?

Graduation

Bye Charlie and Juan!

So, Charlie is gone. We had good times with him. unfortunately he and Carter were playing rough with each other, so he had to go. Juan came to pick him up and had dinner with us. He had to leave that same night, but we sure are glad for the opportunity to see him. Again we had to say goodbye to the Godinez family =(, We love you guys.
