Food:
Potatoes are "tomatoes" and there isn't anything I can do to get the word to come out right. They are brown, grown largely in Idaho under the ground and yet they are tomatoes. And slicing them in the food processor is a new favorite pasttime. I'd have sliced "tomatoes" coming out of my ears if I let him slice as much as he requests!
Hamburgers are Han-ga-bers. This may only be funny to me because it's close to what my dad called them growing up. We had wild rice burgers tonight and while he didn't want to mush the meat mixture with me (he's a bit obsessive about getting his hands dirty), he did think they were delish!
Prayers:
The other day: "please bless mom and dad to be sweet and kind." can you tell what I pray for?!
Today while getting ready to go to the park, one shoe was hiding. After looking and looking he finally said, "mom, we need to say a prayer so Heavenly Father can help find my shoe." this has occurred when a remote control was missing, when mom's keys have disappeared and when he was eating a pear yesterday and somehow lost track of it. good thing that prayer was answered!
Tonight when going to bed: "please bless dad to come home. bless my angels to bring him home soon." Dad's been working A LOT lately and it's nice to know Coop's angels are looking out for him!
Repeated at least three times every time he prays: "please bless us a lot..."

I love the sweetness of childen's prayers. Cooper's a fun boy.
So sweet. That's great you're writing this all down, I've been trying to keep track of all of Olivia's sayings too, because they are just too funny. :)
Mark (jr) still says hangabers. I think he is now capable of saying hamburgers but is so used to the old way!
"...and Jesus died for all of our sins because he loved us so much."
"Ok."
oh yeah! that one was funny, too.
such sweet little moments to remember! i think you need to post the wild rice hamburger recipe! yum! (maybe its out of deceptively delicious and i just haven't looked through the book well enough yet?) but truly on the name topic- you have picked such wonderful names for your kids- LOVE all of them. They're all unique and classic- which is a hard combo to find.
I just can't imagine Cooper being anything but entertaining and a pleasure to be around, so you are doing a good job of accentuating his positives in your posts.
The burgers sound good. We'll have to try that recipe!
