My mom, Marquita Sutton

My mom Monday evening had her 4 grand kids. She actually had watched Jaycee and Jackson Friday and Saturday. Then on Sunday she got Kiley and Keely for a few days before they start school on August 25th. Monday, she had taken Kiley and Keely to Duncan to do a few things. She called when they were leaving and asked if Jaycee wanted to come to her house to play with the girls and to stay the night. Well, of course Jaycee said YES! She kept looking out the window asking where is Mam Mam? Anyways, mom arrived and they came into the house. Well, immediately the house was filled with screams and laughter. Jackson crawled up in mom's lap and said Mam Mam Go! So he thought he needed to go as well. So mom said okay we will take him. Earlier I told Jaycee that Jackson wasn't going it was just going to be a girls night at Mam Mam's. When Jaycee discovered Jackson was going she wasn't too happy! I told her he would go for a few hours and then either mommy would come get him or Paw Paw would bring him home. She was okay then. Mom and her 4 grand kids loaded up in the pick-up and off they went! Dad did bring Jackson back in a few hours.

Then yesterday, mom made a big lunch for us all. We had brisket, green beans, macaroni, sweet potatoes, corn bread, and strawberry spinach salad. Oh, Jaycee had mashed potatoes and chicken nuggets! Anyways, I asked how the night went with the girls. Come to find out right after dad left with Jackson, the 3 girls started playing in the mud! I guess Dad actually started it by allowing Jackson to play in the water. Well, the girls decided that wasn't enough and got in the mud in the back yard. Now, for all of you who haven't seen Oklahoma dirt its red clay not your typical dirt okay! Mom just sat back and let the girls have a ball in it. They rolled in, they threw it at each other, and just got nasty. I said Mom what were you thinking? You totally allow so much more work for yourself. She was like oh they were just having fun it was fine! I am thinking it definitely must be a grandma thing b/c there wasn't a chance that Amy and I would have EVER been allowed to do that. Maybe the reason behind that is b/c my mom made us wear those frilly itchy dresses all the time! When the girls decided they were done, mom laid out towels from her backdoor in her bedroom into her bathroom. Mom said Jaycee had a big pile of mud in her ear and she really didn't think they were ever going to get all the mud out of Keely's hair. I just can't even imagined what they looked like. I was bummed that she forgot to get her camera out and take pictures of them.

Bath time at Mam Mam's house is the best. Well, when Kiley and Keely are there. They take a bubble bath in mom's big tub. They will play for a good hour in there. Jaycee usually has to stay in until the very last bubble goes down the drain. After the bath, I guess Jaycee decided she wasn't ready to put her pj's on. So my mom allowed her to run around her house for 2 hours with no clothes! Mom said it was hilarious. I guess the girls had a big pillow fight in the living room. Well, actually I think it was more like Kiley and Keely throwing them at Jaycee. Jaycee loved every minute it. Also, they were trying to catch grapes in their mouths. Mom still can't find one of the grapes that landed up by her TV that is on a shelf above the fireplace.

I guess all that matters is that the girls had a great time together. My mom enjoyed every moment with her granddaughters. I am sure my dad was glad that peace and quiet was back in the house last night. Can you imagine 3 screaming girls?! What wonderful memories they made together and I am glad that they have those memories and that it wasn't at my house!
