What will they say next?! :)

Well, we went out of town for part of the weekend to go to the temple with the youth. We headed to Camden on Friday after Rich got off of work, and while on the ride there Braden shared some new found knowledge of his; children are constant entertainment, that must be the reward for the hard moments. Well, my mama a.k.a. Grandmama, and my grandmama a.k.a. Great Grandmama both live in Camden, so it is hard sometimes for the children to communicate to us who they want to see. Well, a few days ago Braden and I were talking about hair color; I don't know how we got on the topic, but I have a lot of conversations with him about off the wall topics. Anyway, we determined or I should say he determined that my mama's hair was black, so while we were happily driving along on 95 on Friday he announced quite clearly to us that he wanted to go see his black grandmama. Rich and I thought it was hysterical; he and I both couldn't stop laughing. I in fact had to at that moment call my mama and share the humorous story with her, luckily she also saw the humor in the situation. Brooke, of course seeing all of the attention Braden was getting, decided to join suit; she also announced that she wanted to see her black grandmama. Oh, I love moments like that; you never do know what they are going to say, so you just always have to brace yourself for shock or laughter, in this case it was a LOT of laughter! On Saturday Rich and I went to the temple while mama watched the cuties for us; it was nice sitting in the temple and just enjoying the spirit. Rich and I were also able to do the work for my great grandparents. Today of course is Sunday, so we went to church, took naps, enjoyed being together as a family, and now Rich is off hometeaching. Braden and I also had a good conversation about his birthday party, which isn't until May, but I guess it doesn't hurt to plan ahead. He loves to tell me that Brooke's party is all done, and his turn is next. Today he told me that he wants to color at his party, have bubbles, eat chips, have horns, throw balls around, and have a Cars cake; yes, I successfully convinced Braden that a Cars cake would be much more fun than a princess cake, and this way Rich can breathe easier. Again, children are a great source of entertainment; in fact right now Braden and Brooke are taking turns with their toy microphone singing and dancing for me. I guess I will replay these nice fun moments in my mind next time Brooke throws her body on the floor and screams and kicks like a banshee or Braden is whining because you did the unthinkable and put his drink in a regular cup and not his sippy! Motherhood sure is a hard job, but I wouldn't trade it for anything! Well, maybe a nice pampering every now and then, but other than that I love my cuties; I'm glad I have the opportunity thanks to Rich and Heavenly Father to be at home with them!
