I am not one for blog post's like this one, but this was too funny.
We went out to dinner as a family last Friday night. The resturant sits right on the corner of Hwy 190. As we were eating a lot of ambulances, police cars, and fire trucks started going by and the police put up flares and closed down a section of 190 so people where having to turn off. We looked up the road a little but could not see anything from the resturant. After we were done we headed out but the highway was still closed off and the kids (and me of course) we wondering what happened. When we looked in that direction and we saw a thick blanket of black smoke. We have had several fires in the field next to our house so we know the look and took it as a fire. Since 190 was closed we took the frontage road to head out and saw a really bad car accident. There was a car in the middle of the road upside down and on fire and two off onto the side one of them also on fire which caused the side of the road brush to be on fire. Addison right away wanted to know if someone had died or if someone had gotten hurt. We told him we did not know if someone had died but we were sure someone had gotten hurt as it was a pretty bad accident. He got very upset and told us he did not want to die he wanted to live with us forever. We explained that everyone dies, but since we were sealed as a family we would still live together forever. So then he asked about his toys and told us he wanted to live in our house with us forever. We then had to explain that we would not be living in our house here on earth but Heavenly Father had promised us that if we were sealed as a family and obeyed his commandments we could live together in heaven in a mansion he has prepared for us. Addison then asked, "What is a mansion?" Vincent very matter of factly announced at that point, "It is a very big house that has butlers." Addison next question of course, "What is a butler?" Vincent's response, "Someone that you can make do anything you want, like get you a drink of water, clean your room......." The list goes on for awhile. So I guess I do not have to worry about cleaning in heaven, I will have a BUTLER!
