Family Night As the "Anti-Nephi-Lehi's"

This week Tyler decided to have the kids reenacted the Anti-Nephi-Lehi story for family home evening. They made swords out of wood and colored them. Then Tyler read the story about the Lamanites who were converted to the Lord and refused to take up arms against their brethren that they may remain pure. Tyler had them march out to lot next door and take an oath that they would not raise there swords against their brethren. To remove any temptation they decided to bury their swords deep in the earth, just as the people of Ammon did. Tyson was mad because he wanted to keep his sword. In the end, he kept his oath and buried his sword with the rest of his brothers.
Getting ready to battle.






Them turning over their weapons.


Real deep hole Ty.




Easton didn't take part because he was waiting in the car for me to take him to the doctor. He had a rash all over his body. It turned out to be from a cold virus that he had a week earlier.

That is great! I showed Ryan and I could totally see the wheels turning in his head. I wouldn't be surprised to see us doing something like that sometime. Your boys are way cute!
