Be YOU Tiful

 I love you so much BrynnyPie!
You are my girl.  Right this second you are laying in bed with me watching Princess Sing Along Songs (for literally the 6th time today!)  We got it at the library today and you can not get enough!  Since you had a nap you are not very tired and it is 11pm, so what else are we going to do?!?  
 Today Baylor was jabbering about how girls can only drive trucks if they borrow them from their husbands!  WHAT.EVER.  I straightened him out.  He then went on to say how boys can get tattoos and girls can't.  I do not know where he gets these thoughts!  But it lead to a talk about how nasty tattoos are.  I was trying to get you guys to understand how marvelous your bodies are and how Heavenly Father made them and they are perfect and we wouldn't want to mark them up with tats.  I said God made your bodies healthy, and strong, and PERFECT!  You then said to me, "And He made yours squishy, huh mom?"  Well not exactly, birthing FOUR children and my love of cheesecake and chocolate aided that attribute, but thanks for noticing Brynners!  You crack me up!
I took you guys to the "big" library today in Tualatin.  You were so excited, "Thank you thank you mom!!" you squealed!  We then went to the grocery store and you both insisted on sitting in the basket of the cart, which resulted in inevitable irritations with one another.  I just calmly pushed you around with a constant stream of, "stop it.  be nice.  Brynnly, stop!  Baylor, enough.  you guys better be nice."  I was getting exhausted when two different women on two different isles reminded me to appreciate these days.  I was so thankful for these kind ladies.  While I was getting tired and frustrated the one woman said, your voices were so sweet.  And she was right.  I love how you guys talk, how you mispronounce words and the funny things you say or how you say them.  I love pushing you in the cart, oh how lonely I will be when I push an empty cart.  She also said enjoy being able to contain you, she has teenagers and as hard as toddlers are, teens are impossible.  SO I am going to try even harder to soak you up and appreciate these little moments.  How do I not take it for granted??  Im trying!  I LOOOOOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!  I am so thankful for you!!!
And you are about asleep now, perfect time to snuggle you up!
