When I left Renna for her nap, her Beginner Bible was next to her
bed. While cleaning up the kitchen, this is what I heard through the
monitor.
I heard the pages turning and she said, "God turn light on.
Light off. Make land. Water. Make people." Then a big sigh
and not a sound until after her nap.
FYI: After nap the Bible was still in her bed.
The following day, Renna came to me and showed me a cut on her
thumb.
Renna: “Renna have bad owie!”
Justin: “Oh no, what happened?”
Renna: “Jesus book cut mine thumb!!!”
"Don't Tell Flan!"
"The Obvious Y!"

“Did you do your pole dance yet?”

Maren: "Renna...who's grandma's son?"
Renna: "Grandma..Moon!!"
Brenda: "First I boned the chicken..."
Maren to Renna: "Why did Mommy and Daddy get married?"
Renna: "Meat!"
Flan: “Pheasant season will be a little different this
year. Shoot a pheasant, take a nap. Shoot a pheasant, take a nap!”
Flanson:
“That said, it doesn’t look like there will be much of a change as
far as napping goes during deer season.”
"I swear to God, if anyone teaches her (Renna) to say my name as anything other than "Tay T" or even says my name as anything other than "Tay T" when around her, I'll Kill them!" - Taylor (aka Tay T)
When asking Mom and Dad if there were any links they wanted added
to this updated site...
Justin: "Is there anyplace you tend to go often?"
Flan: "The Bathroom!"
Justin: "Wash your hands! You are in a hospital!"
Jenna:
"More like, wash your hands! You are a human being!"
Justin:
"Yea, wash your hands, you just peed!"
