why we have kids when we're young...

first of all, how could you ever dicipline, spank, or even get mad at this little princess, who is 3 going on 23 ? we had to run to provo and on the way back decided to stop at ''parker's'' to get a bite to eat. when i asked her what she wanted to eat, this is what i got..."well.. um.. i don't think i should get anything, because i think my family already has plans.? and just before they came over thursday morning i had cleaned the toilets and left the cleaner in them. she had gone into the bathroom and in a few minutes yelled at me and said '' gramma, i know what color blue and yellow make... green! i said "what?" and she again said "blue and yellow make green!" i said " now, how do you know that?" and she said "just look!" and did you know that "bambi" on dvd is the same movie as "bambi" on video? this little "princess" was adamant that they had to be different. and wouldn't give up until we had watched both. amazing !!! they really are the same!
tiffany bought chet tickets to the 'nfr' in vegas for their anniversary, and i volunteered to take the kids. now tell me... how in the world could you get mad at this cute little bugger? (i had to still the picture from tiffany's blog, cuz i was too busy chasing ryker to even think about taking a picture). can you see it in his eyes? he is all boy and so mischievous. when he would throw his food, kendyl would tell me "gramma, when he throws his food like that, my mom always spanks his hands. you need to spank him!" there is nooo way! i was trying to bind a quilt for don for christmas and as i was sewing all of the sudden something would come flying threw the air and hit me in the head, and then i'd hear this little giggle. so, so cute! i know i disciplined my kids when they were that age, but now i'm more 'mature' and can just sit back and enjoy.
another reason why you have kids when you're young, is because of 'gravity'. as you become older it settles more and it's alot harder to get up and down like we use to. so any kind of extra activity completely wears you out! it was fun to have them for a few days, and we totally enjoyed spoiling them, but we were also, awfully glad that chet and tiff arrived home safely last night! thanks, chet and tiff for letting us take them and hope they aren't too spoiled !
