We have been trying to be better at reading our scriptures as a family and have figured out that reading before we take the girls to school seems to work best. Over the past week we finished reading Jacob, read Enos, Jarom and Omni (which each consist of only one chapter) and are starting on words of Mormon tomorrow. At the end of each of these chapters the prophet writing is nearing the end of his life and so he turns the plates over to his son or brother to continue recording the record of their people. When we get to the end of a chapter we always talk about who is going to be writing next. After this had gone on for a few chapters, and when we had finished another one Alexis exlaimed:
"I just can not beleive it! They only pass it on to their sons to write in it. It's just like when women couldn't vote!!"
Oh my goodness did we get a laugh out of that! I had to write it down. Alexis is always so attentive and always asks the best questions =)

Ha ha! That girl has spunk-I love her! And I love your family photo on the blog.
That is hilarious! How funny. Alexis is so great.
Ok, that is hilarious! And so smart!
THat's so neat that ALexis is comprehending so much... and making those connections. :) That is really funny!
If the women had done the writing, I'm afraid the plates would have been too heavy for Mormon to carry!
