Happy Birthday Kayley & Cole!!

My plans to do a post with pictures has been foiled due to my laptop crashing. I will add pictures later, I promise!

Today my kids are one year older. I cannot believe Kayley is six now and my baby boy is four. That means almost seven years ago I found out I was having Kayley. It was a surprise but so very wanted. After Tyler and I got married we had our tiny, adorable premature baby with trips back and forth between home and the NICU. It was hard and sad but to tell you the truth I don't even remember the bad parts. I enjoyed being home with Kayley and not having to work. I got pregnant with Cole and had a fairly easy pregnancy, I just got really fat! I had Cole on Kayley's birthday (which at the time was so NOT funny) and ever since then it has been a wild ride. And God has provided for me, Tyler and our babies every step of the way!

I'm sad my kids aren't so little anymore but I love who they have become! They are both at the age where I can see each of their personalities. Kayley is sweet and kind but also super spunky and "boyish" (in her words). I've had to explain to her that God made her a special girl who is every bit as awesome as a boy. She seemed convinced. Cole is a stinker who is one extreme or the other. One second he'll be happy as a clam, the next he will be whining and crying and completely out of control! He does love his sissy and likes to bring her ice packs and water when she's sad or hurt. The best part about both kids, though, is that they both love God and sing worship songs all the time!

Happy Birthday Kayley and Cole, I love you!
