Feelings...

I just wanted to write some feelings I have been having over the last week. Britt's cousin's little 18 month old boy got ran over and passed away. Sometimes I feel like I take my kids and life for granted. Meaning that I probably don't need to be quite so tough on my boys. Sometimes I will discipline Keyton and immediately think... I probably didn't need to be so hard on him. Let him be a kid! I am just SO grateful to have two healthy, handsome, happy, little boys. I know that from this day on I will look at my boys a little differently and count every minute I have with them as a special blessing. There are to many Mom's out there that don't have this opportunity or have lost a child. They bring so much joy into our lives that I cannot even begin to express. The kisses that Kaycen gives, open mouthed and all. The fishy kisses Keyton gives and the hugs that he is always willing to share. How much of a cuddler bug Kaycen is. I could just hold and cuddle and kiss on this baby all day long, too bad he wants to be independent and explore his world every once in awhile ;) The giggles that both boys have and the love that they have for each other just overfills my heart. The way that Keyton loves to tease people. Their hobbit feet that they got from their Dad! How both boys just are overjoyed with excitement when Britt walks through the door after work. Keyton's big brown eyes. Kaycen's soft cheeks to kiss on. The way they love to splash and play in the bathtub together. I could go on and on... These are the things that I want to remember and cherish forever and not to take for granted because we just never know what today or tomorrow will bring. I love you Britt and cant thank you enough for the two joys you have brought into our lives. This even more shows me how important it is to become an eternal family. I am so grateful for my family and extended family and the love and compassion that they share.

Crystal- You are a great mom with two beautiful boys! I hope I won't take my kids for granted anymore either. It really has been an eye opener!
