The Kelly Kiddos

So after my last post, my Dad encouraged me to focus on the kiddos I have right now to keep my mind from going to China constantly, so I thought I would give them all a little blog time.

 Brandt is my number one baby.  He was the start of the crazy pack.  He is strong, kind, funny, talented, encouraging and many more adjectives.  He loves life.  He wants to live it.  He embraces challenges and conquers his fears.  He is an exciting snow boarder and a talented soccer player.  He is a leader and occasionally falls into following.  He knows how to be a good friend and he knows how to truly care for people.  He knows who he is and he knows who God is and I couldn't be prouder.

Holden is my number two baby.  He showed me the contrast of siblings right from the beginning.  He is more soft spoken, but can be loud and crazy.  He is passionate about things.  He has an amazing imagination that takes him to so many different places in the course of a day.  He turned a dental floss holder into a super secret spy phone, and uses it to check in on his spying assignments.  He takes off for "training" leaving his super robot in his place so we don't even know he is gone.  He is kind to his little siblings and loves to play games.  He has a passion for life and he lives it out in all his emotions.  He has a smart basketball mind, and knows the game.  He will run the offense someday.  He also has a heart of gold and loves to sit in his mom's lap, even though soon he will not fit.  He is a lover and a gentle spirit with fire under the surface.

Wyatt is our fire cracker.  He is explosive and exciting and fun and creative.  He is a perfectionist and will spend recess making his work be his best.  He has a desire to do the right thing, but will push the boundaries of acceptable to the very limit.  He will focus endless attention on a task he enjoys, but will not begin other tasks for fear of failure.  He is funny and joyous and loving.  He loves beautiful people and he will hug anyone who is willing.  He is smart and will run the world someday or he won't.  He may get distracted by the mountain snowboarding or the field kicking the soccer ball or the road with his bicycle. He has a crazy ability to make everyone laugh and fall in love with him.  He can grin and get away with murder.  He just has to use those piercing blue eyes to convince you he is not in trouble.  The ability will serve him well.

 Ainsley is our princess. She is girly and rough and tumble all wrapped up in one super social little body.  She will enter a room, and never see a stranger.  Everyone is her friend.  She has no concept of shyness, and wouldn't understand someone that is.  She thinks everyone needs a hug and everyone wants to be her friend.  She is spontaneous and sweet and kind, but tough and confident.  She will also run the world and everyone will gladly follow her without question, because she just exudes confidence.  She knows who she is.  She loves people and animals and her family.  She doesn't have an enemy or someone she doesn't like.  She sees everyone as a potential friend.  She loves to play outside in the sandbox in her tutu skirt.  She is a dancer, a gymnast and her big brother's best friend.  She is strong and stubborn and if channeled, it will serve her well in life.

My life has been blessed by the people God has given me to share it with.  They are amazing little miracles that I have the privilege of calling my sons and daughter.   I am excited to watch them grow and sorrowful at the same time, because time is going so fast.  They are becoming the people God wants them to be.  I am just an instrument in their life plan.
