Well today is Memorial Day and we've all been up for awhile. We've washed both cars, cleaned the cars and Sierra and I have even taken a walk this morning. We're getting ready to load everyone up and head to the cemetary to put out flowers. After that, I think we'll head down to my mom's to go swimming. Brandon, Megan, Irven (my mom's brother) and I think even Scott and Sharon are coming to her house to eat and swim. Sierra and Pierce are really excited. Sierra learned to swim on her back yesterday (she never ceases to amaze me).
Funny thing happened the other day and I thought it was worth posting. I took Sierra and Pierce to visit my grandmother Mary who is 89 years old. She acts like she is 70 and still picks JB up and had even made SB a pair of capri's and cute little shirt. She is such an amazing woman and so good with the kids. Of course when we go over there, she loads them up with candy, ice cream and anything else they want...I guess like any good grandmother would do (Grams and her m&ms:) So of course JB is in heaven! As we were leaving, she walked us to the car and gave both kids a kiss goodbye. As she was kissing JB and telling him that she loved him, he looked at her and said, "I thought you died" after I picked my jaw up off the ground, I said, "oh no honey, that was Nanaw Darlin" JB looked at me and said, "no it wasn't, it was her" As we tried to explain that it was Nanaw Darlin and NOT Nanaw Mary, JB started asking the normal 3-year questions, "how did she die", "how did she get to heaven", and then he started crying saying he wanted Nanaw Darlin (which he has never done before) so I realized he was probably a little tired and at that point, anything was going to make him cry.
When it comes to JB...you just never know what he's going to say. But that's what makes him special! Speaking of JB, next time you see him, ask him to sing How Great is our God or Sweep me Away. He knows those songs word for word and we sing them constantly in the car.
Take care and have a wonderful holiday!

The Scriptures say, "a little child shall lead them". Those two little ones can lead me anywhere they want to go. ;)

I'm right there with you! I'm so blessed to have them in my life. I thought being a single mom for 17 years I'd seen it all, but Pierce has taught me a thing or two :)
