Kelson's 6th Birthday

Our big 6 year old boy!

Friday, the 26th was his BIRTHDAY and GREEN day at school! We didn't have much to get Kelson birthday gifts resulting from his expensive incidents he had a month prior, but we managed to get him a few things and they just so happen to be green. That morning before school we had him open his gift bag. Ninja Turtle hat, watch and sunglasses. I actually didn't get any pictures of that morning, we were rushing for school. Luckily, that Sunday we caught a few moments at his grandparent's and the presents they had for him. They gave him a few BYU shirts, some Legos and a Superhero story book. Later in the week he got art/school supplies from Gma Louly & Gpa John. The following week he received Ninja Turtle underwear and socks from Nana.

After a hard delivery for both Momma and baby, Kelson made his way to the NICU. This picture was after he was doing much better and all the devices had been removed, thanks to all the medical help provided.

Looking back on these pictures the emotions swarm my heart. I remember such fine detail, yet have forgotten so much. I wish I could go back and hug him.

This boy, his hat and his watch!

Kelson, thank you for joining our family six whole years ago, even longer if you want to get technical. You were a surprise to us, but you have been such a blessing. Since then you have taught me so many valuable lessons and I hope to return the favor to you as time goes on. You always have the best intentions within your heart. You are so loving and caring about those around you, family, friends and acquaintances. Thank you for all your cleaning you do around the house, for helping Chloe is all her endeavors (it's so sweet you express just how much you don't want her to grow up), for reaching out to those lonely kids at school and becoming their friend, for being thoughtful of all those you come in contact with-wanting them to be happy, for your silly remarks and your crazy ideas! One of my favorite most recent ideas you've had is growing up to be an animal! I mean, aminal! You shine so bright in our home, keeping us from dull moments. You and your brother still fight like crazy, just breath and remember how much fun you two have together. You are such a brilliant boy, Kelson, I am so happy to call you mine and have you forever in our family! I hope this 6th year for you is outstanding, full of love, laughter and tons of adventure. Happy Birthday, big guy!
