Not your kids. You don't get a vote. His kids. He picked the person he trusted the most. If the courts see an issue with this, they will address it. If you don't think your mother is the right person to take care of your kids, then get that in your will.
I'm sure she is well aware of her own age and realizes that she isn't the long term solution. In the short term, why wouldn't someone want their own mother (if they had a good trusting relationship with her) to help their kids and make decision for them through the shock of losing a parent. Just because she becomes the primary now, doesn't mean that it how it will be a year from now. Their "primary emotional" attachment just died....how do you know that their grandmother isn't the next closest thing they have?
