Trevor

While Beckham likes to be athletic and a charmer, Trey definitely likes to be smart and creative. Above is a picture that he drew at church last Sunday. When he first brought it to us we were like, "that's nice Trevor," but thinking what the heck is that? He started to explain it to us and we were suddenly amazed and impressed. Here is the legend:
A - the colors of the rainbow in correct order ROYGBIV
B - This is the path of life with the Iron Rod, (which you can't see very well in this scanned image)
C - an obstacle on the path that you need the iron rod to get around safely
D - the bread and water of the sacrament. The bread represents (the arrow) his body (orange circles)
E - the water represents his blood
F - picture of what happened to Jesus. He was on the cross, had a "spikey thing" put on his head and sword stuck in his side
G - the primary colors that can be mixed (the arrows) to make the secondary colors
H - don't look too hard, there really isn't an H, sorry

Needless to say, we were pretty impressed. He did all of this without any prompting by us or any recent discussion of those topics. Times like this show us that kids really do listen to what you try to teach them and what they hear in primary.


This past Friday I was making a spreadsheet in excel to track all of our medical expenses. Last year the hospital messed up w/ my leg surgery and over charged us $600. With my obsessive compulsive disorder and a recent self found refund like that I couldn't help but make a spreadsheet to track these expenses every year. I was having a difficult time though. I like to use functions in excel, and especially logic functions. For the first time yesterday I was trying to put a logic function within another logic function. I was having a difficult time getting the exact syntax. Trevor asked why I was talking out loud to myself and pointing to the monitor. Marisa explained to him my situation. A few minutes later he came to me with these two drawings and said that this should help me!

This second one shows me how the letters in fof can be rearranged into off among all the other things on this paper that I guess are just beyond my comprehension ;) It was very cute to see him try and help me out in my moment of frustration.
