Conversations with Little ones

Some of these are recent and some are a couple months old....some of you may already know them...so enjoy anyway! Smile maybe?!

Anchor wants to be an Engineer/Scientist/Inventor so badly! That is all he talks about most of the time! So as my friend Adrianne has said...this is good brainwashing!
Anchor wants to know what his life map is..(he just has to know) So we always tell him that after high school he will go to college very briefly to BYU and then on a mission when he is 19 til 21 yrs of age. Then when he gets back...he will attend BYU and at some point fall in love and get Married in the Temple.
However...he asked Ric and I recently.."what is the best engineering, invention college? Ric replied MIT. Anchor asked "where is MIT", that is where I jump in and tell him it is in Boston...and Boston is fabulous and Mom and Dad have been there! He then says...That is where I want to go to college and be the best engineer Inventor in the whole world! You can imagine we are sitting there smiling and could not be more happy that our 5 year old wants to go to MIT. I told him..."Mom and Dad LOVE Boston and we will come visit you alot!" So MIT it is! That is all he talks about now. Lets just pray he will have a scholarship!

So Ric and I decided...we leave Race or (Racey as Anchor has always called him) we leave him out of "what do you want to be when you grow up convos", actually...I do not think we leave him out...he doesn't selectively discuss it like Anchor man! So we asked him and he said " um well maybe I think I want to be an airplane guy, or a fireman guy...but actually I want to be a pizza guy." Yes...a Pizza guy...we wanted to laugh SOOOOOO Hard, but knew that would hurt his feelings! So we said awesome Race...you can deliver pizza to us all the time! Yes they are brothers but sooo different! Race however is incredibly bright and has been since he was a baby...I have video and journals to prove it :)!! Now he says he is going to MIT with Anchor and Anchor says "no you are not" (its Anchors thing obviously) and so I tell Race they can live together in Boston and he can go to Harvard!

Ok...so that is the story for today...I have more but I am way to tired to write....so more this week! Enjoy!

As long as the boys are making plans I will start saving so I can attend their graduations. I've always wanted to go to Boston. I might really old but I'll also be really proud! Love Mom aka Grandma

Talk about cute and amazing!?! What five year old decides on MIT? That is awesome -- I'll be sure to tip Race well when he delivers the pizza!

so cute! Anchor, don't forget Harvey Mudd if you want to be an engineer...it's closer to home and almost as rad! ;) Reminds me of my nephews (who are going on 16 & 17 now)--the oldest always had big plans and the younger always just said, "I want to be an uncle!" Atta boy!
