Brent Surprises Us!

Brent surprised us with a visit and we had so much fun!

My dad was watching my kids while myself, Natalie and my mom went to get a baby gift for the two new baby girl cousins (being born this summer)!  My dad told the kids they had to go to the airport to pick up his friend Howard.  He told the kids that unfortunately he had a meeting and was going to have to get a babysitter for them!  They were very bummed about the babysitter.  Then he sent them into the airport holding a sign with the name Howard on it!  Brent came out and surprised them.  I guess Kelton was a little shy and still was looking for Howard!  The kids were sooo excited, and love their babysitter!

Meanwhile I was on my way home from the mall.  I knew the kids were going to surprise me by being in their pajamas.  When I came in everyone was playing their part.  Kelton and Hayden were sitting on the couch playing a video game and Kara and Halle were just playing.  Kara asked,  "Can we call Dad on face time?"  I said, "sure but he may not answer."  She then proceeded to call him and talk to him about her day.  Halle also talked to him.  Then Kara says"do you want to talk to mom?"  Brent said, "yes" and I started talking to him.  Then he says "oh I have something to show you."  All of the sudden he come down the stairs!!!  I was so surprised.  My mouth stayed open for I don't know how long.  It took a long time to comprehend!  Anyways it was the best suprise ever!!!

These are the only pictures I took while he was home!

We really miss him a lot!

I guess it is good to be a part so you realize how much you really care about someone.  It tends to put everything in perspective.

A little funny story that has nothing to do with this post.  Halle last night was laying in bed after we said prayers and she looked up at me and said, "me and Chloe said a prayer together in my bedroom.  We asked heavenly father to help us be really good!"  Halle then said, "Makenna said, she was really good and Jesus gave her a special rock!"  She then said, "Me and Chloe hope that we can be super good and then Jesus will give us a special rock too!"  She then rolled over and went to sleep. 

I was not quite sure about the rock thing, but I'm glad she thinks to pray!

Kids you gotta love them.
