Happy 9th Birthday Kelsey

Happy 9th Birthday to our sweet little angel Kelsey! She almost always has a smile on her face and is so excited about her everyday life!
Kelsey can light up a room with her warm attitude and her cheery disposition!


I have to admit that Kelsey is my most loving child, she loves attention, and she loves to give lots of hugs and kisses!

Here are a few wonderful things that we love about Kelsey..........

* For her birthday her grandma gave her $10. Kelsey always talks about how much money Ashley gets from babysitting, and how she never has any. So we go to the store and her brothers both want something, and Kelsey offers to buy it for them with her birthday money, and get nothing for herself. She is always giving to everyone around her, even though she may want something for herself so bad.

* I have never in my life received as many notes or letters from anyone, as much as I have received from her. She leaves notes of love, appreciation, and encouragement to everyone in our family. She can cheer up the sad and make them feel glad in no time at all with a quick note of love.

* Kelsey is a good friend to those around her. She has her bad days and she will come home and tell me about them. She will then go to her room and say a prayer, and then come back to me and declare she knows how to fix the problem straight away, and she does it. she amazes me with her attitude.

* I only have four children, but out of all of them, Kelsey is the most loving. She is always playing with her brothers and Ashley, (when she lets her). She can make Andrew and Dayton believe in magic. She can fix a problem with a story, and she can get the boys to bed better then I can. Someday she will make one amazing MOTHER!

* Faith! Kelsey has amazing faith in God! And she loves to declare that to others. She almost never misses the chance to bear her testimony. And every time I hear her do it, I can feel of her love for her Heavenly Father!

I can still remember the day I found out I was pregnant with Kelsey. She is my sunshine when the clouds seem gray and she is my rainbow when the rain comes down. We have all been blessed to have her in our family! we all love her so very much! Happy Birthday Sweetheart!

Life's Little Blessings

Last Thursday Kelsey begged me to go eat lunch with her at school. I hesitated due to other obligations, but told her I would try. After some running around that morning, I decided I needed to make it there after all. I get tears thinking about the look on her sweet face when she saw that I had walked into the lunch room with Andrew and Dayton trailing behind me. We had such a great visit. She talked about so many things, and she just couldn't stop. I swear that girl can talk faster then any girl I know. I hugged her and left to get on with my day. Later that evening when I arrived home from my appointment filled day, I mentioned to Matt that I had stopped to have lunch with Kelsey. He told me that he already knew because Kelsey had run home and told him all about it. She was so excited about me bringing her a shake to eat and spending some time with her. Matt said as he listened to her, he could hear the excitement in her voice. My heart melted, and I truly was grateful for her sweet spirit! For there is no greater gift we can give our children, then the gift of time and love. Kelsey I know you will one day read this blog, and I want you to know how special you are! You are truly a special child with so much love! Thank you for being you! I love you so very much!
