I needed to take a minute and block out all the bullshit that's going on around me and remember things I am grateful for. Out of all of the things I am grateful for...... I am most grateful for the beautiful babies I was given to bring into this world and raise.
I know I do a lot of rambling about their fathers so I wanted to take a second and write about them, individually.
Alexia Kelly - My 1st born - Alexia is in third grade. She is truly my best friend. I love to do anything with this girl. We get our hair done, our nails done etc. I always make sure I take special days out just for her because truly without her, I don't know how I'd be able to do what I do. I don't get the kind of support I and the kids deserve from the fathers all the time and Alexia steps in and fills in the gaps. I have to constantly tell her to stop doing so much and just be a kid actually. Her favorite person in this world is her baby brother Aydn. The two of them have the strongest, most special bond.
Alexia is very girly. She loves sparkly shoes, hair stuff & makeup she is constantly trying to grow up and act older than her age and I am always trying to find the perfect balance for her. One of our favorite things to do is hold hands while I drive. She sits in the front and I hold her hand. There's just something super special about it. <3
Austen Jay - My 1st born son- Austen is in 2nd grade. He is truly my best friend too. Out of all of my kids he is the one I fight with the most and I think it's because we are a lot alike. He is very stubborn and not afraid to speak his mind. His emotions get the best of him sometimes too. He is definitely my most emotional child. He also has one of the biggest hearts too. He gets mad when his sisters get in trouble and he yells at me if I upset them. It's super cute.
My favorite thing to do with him is play video games. I look forward to it every night after he gets home from school. We play Call of Duty (Zombies) and tear that game up!! Lol My son and I have a very special bond. From the second I he was born he's very in tuned with my emotions. When I am upset he just knows. When he was younger he'd stick close by me until I felt better, nowadays he comes and hugs me until it's all better. <3
Alyssa Mae - My 3rd born - Alyssa is in 1st grade & by far the sweetest girl ever born. She is my little peace keeper. Even if one of her siblings get in trouble because they were being mean to her, she'll always come to me and ask if they can get out of timeout. Lol She's super cute. Alyssa is my in between child, she's not a tomboy but she's not a girly girl either. She can looks beautiful in a skirt and rock a hat backwards. She can pretty much pull off any look and look beautiful.
My favorite things to do with Alyssa is do her hair and nails. She has the most beautiful long hair. I love to curl up next to this girl and laugh our butts off watching movies, or just snuggle and fall asleep. Alyssa has tons of friends at school too. She's the sweet one that befriends everyone. If someone is left out Alyssa will be the first one to make them feel included. She has just as many guy friends and she does girl friends. She's just friends with everyone. <3
Aspen Jean Marie - My 4th born - Aspen is almost in Kindergarten. She is spunky and has tons of personality. Aspen is very sensitive too. Her little feelings get hurt so easily and hers tears fall just as fast but she's a tough girl. Aspen and I spend more time together than the rest of my kids because she doesn't have school and her favorite thing to do is snuggle up to mommy during the day and watch movies or snuggle at night and go to sleep next to mommy. This child will probably still be sleeping in my bed when she's 30 and I am totally okay with that. :) Aspen is just like me, she has no filter and says it how she sees it. I love this about her. You never have to wonder how she's feeling or what she's thinking because she always let you know. Out of all of my kids Aspen is the biggest mommy/daddy girl. When she was a baby she didn't like anyone but her dad and I and even now she has a complete meltdown if I run an errand without her. She's my little buddy. <3
Aydn Scott - My 5th & last - Aydn is a little character for sure. He is almost 2 and I can describe him in two words: Ball & Alexia. This kid ALWAYS has a ball in his hand. He has an amazing arm on him for being so little too! I always joke he's going to play pro ball and buy his mommy a mansion. :) He is very independent and has an invisible bubble that surrounds him. If you invade his bubble or take away his independence you will have the wrath of Aydn on your hands. He has never really acted like a baby. Since the day he was born he's been on the go, and very advanced for his age, but there's no surprise there, he is the youngest of 5 kids after all. The only other thing Aydn really cares about is his big sister Alexia. She is his entire world. He cries when she goes to school and will wait by the window saying "Lexi" every few seconds when he knows she's getting out of school. <3
I am truly one of the luckiest mothers alive! <3
