I WILL MISS

I will miss the fact my little Kaleb will not be calling Karsyn 'his baby Sarsyn', or that Karsyn will no longer say 'this is my brother and this is my Kaden'. I can't get over the fact that my sweet little ones are growing up. I so wish we would have had another little one. However GOD blessed us with 3 great healthy children. Three kids that I could never live without. They drive me borderline bonkers almost every day, but life would be empty with out them.

Kaden, my oldest, is so funny, smart and crazy. Recently we found out that he is beyond smart (now we knew it was in there, just thought it was a little deep down, he liked to hide the fact that he was this level of smart). He scored in the top of his class on the state Star test last year in math. This years test got changed to a much more difficult test. It is now online and all the states were throwing it out. So basically it was a practice test this year. THANK GOODness because half our teachers did not pass the test (super scary). Kaden hearing at least once or twice that the test was hard and that they were throwing it out decided to take his test in 2 minutes. YUP, I said he was smart (he isn't that smart). Kaden failed his common core test without a doubt and said "Well I think she gave me the fifth grade test so why would I take it". YUP thats my boy. He had a serious consequence to his actions that he wasn't too thrilled about.  Poor Kaden learning things the hard way. Life is going to bring this kid lots of consequences.

It was a long time coming, but then God blessed me with Kaleb. He is a great kid with a huge heart and lots of wonder. He, like his brother, is very funny and very strong. Kaleb is practically Karsyn's twin. They are the same size and are like two peas in a pod. He has always loved taking care of her and watching out for her. The are always so sweet or fighting like cats and dogs. Our sweet boy has always had they funniest fashion sense. From day one he has worn his shoes on the wrong feet.  Many times they are not always the same color -- more times than not they were different colors. He wears his clothes backwards. I have tried over and over (and IF you know me you know that it bugged me) to fix it for years. I finally came to realize that my sweet Corey clone was his own person who goes to the beat of his own drum. It melts my heart now that he still does it. He is slowly learning it, slowly wearing his shoes on the right feet and wearing his clothes how they are supposed to be worn. As I wrote in the beginning of my post I WILL MISS them, my tiny babies, my tiny little beast. My sweet kids.

Thirdly I was blessed with my tiny princess, born at 5 pounds 10 ounces. I never thought I would have a girl, let a lone a princess. She is all girl, she loves taking care of her babies. Today she looked at me in shock and said "did you hear that?" I replied with a no, so she answered "Oh, my baby is crying". She ran to her room and as she was coming down the hall I hear "oh there, there my baby". I just about died. As much as I keep saying how much I am going to miss them as they grow I can't wait to see her be a real mother to her little children (well I can wait, I want her to be small forever - I am very conflicted).  She is so smart and loving. She is also one of the bossiest things I have seen in a long while (I have no idea where she got that from). She cracks me up daily. My kids are a huge piece of my life. I can't imagine life with out any of them. I truly hate that they are growing up WAY to fast.

However God has entrusted Corey and myself to raise these great kids the best we know how. I just needed to share that with you guys. Life is short, love them while they let you. Don't take life and them for granted. Enjoy your kids. It doesn't last forever.
