Sprinkles

2012-01-16T08:58:00.001-08:00

Ben (2 1/2) climbed on my bed on Saturday morning and began rubbing my calf.
"oh mom! I love your.... I love your... Sprinkles!"

Wrestle mania and chores

2011-05-10T05:36:00.001-07:00

I really do love having boys! And I love that their Daddy will beat them all up- or at least tickle them to death! Ben was already in bed for this excitement, but believe me, he was in on it earlier that evening.

I love that with my phone I can capture moments that I don't want to forget because they will change so fast- like this one ;

His chore of the week is to unload the dishwasher, and this morning, I caught him in action. He has to climb the counter to put a lot of the things away. I know it wont be long before he will be able to reach from the ground. He has always been my
Climber!!

Mothers Day 2011

2011-05-08T09:08:00.001-07:00

I was treated to a relaxing morning in bed while BK guided the boys through all my Mothers Day surprises!

Quiet time with all my favorite books/authors: Platt, Piper,Alcorn, and of course the Bible!

1st treat: flowers and coffee!

A nicely decorated envelope by Bryce

A coupon book for lots of "free" stuff! Haha!

Finally-
Breakfast!

Levi's special Mommy/Daddy time!

2011-05-02T11:46:00.001-07:00

We found out a few months ago that Levi had a concerning mole on his abdomen. After an initial biopsy, some was still left. We were referred to a dr in Birmingham for a second opinion. We decided to make the most of our trip and left the night before- and Levi was loving it!

Special hotel breakfast!

In the lobby of children's south.

Watching Scooby Doo while waiting....

Then the doctor decided that the area was small enough to just do another biopsy and it should take care of the site. So instead of having to come back for an outpatient procedure that would involve anesthesia, we were able to go ahead and finish the job today!

I am so thankful to the Lord for his care of my family. Even having that time in the car to talk with my husband was such a blessing.

Here is my fAVORITE picture of me and my god-son, DJ.
I count him as yet another answer to my prayer for boys. He is so cute, happy, busy, nosey, content, and about to start crawling. I still can't believe he was born on my birthday. He is 6 months old and growing so much. I pray I will be a good god-parent and love him like my own.

Still need prayer!

2010-09-29T11:57:00.000-07:00

I am posting this for 2 reasons.

1 - working with Bryce is very difficult sometimes and I still need prayer. He can be so easy -going and compliant one minute and so silly the next. Pray especially for his lack of control over his emotions. When he gets upset, he is REALLY upset!

2. Now, for the funny story:

A few days ago, Bryce got really upset over 2 different issues and so I was trying to be consistent and make sure I stuck to my decisions about his punishments. He continued to get really upset and accused me of loving his brothers more than him and then not even loving him at all. I tried to explain that his brothers do get disciplined, but generally have a fairly quick response to my correction, thus saving them from even more trouble. Then I said,

"Bryce, the Bible even says that if I love you, I WILL discipline you so that you will not continue do go down roads in your life that are dangerous!"

Through tears, he looks at me and says with attitude: "That has GOT to be a misprint!"

Prayer Requests

2010-09-15T13:57:00.000-07:00

Hello again! It's been too long. I have GOTS to do better! (as Nicole would say!)

We have had a wonderful spring, summer and now fall. I will do a recap of each in some new posts to come.

For now, I need prayer for a few things:

1. Bryce is in 3rd grade and doing homework with him takes approximately 2 hours a day. wow. He whines, complains, shouts, gets angry and frustrated, and stalls THE WHOLE TIME! Enough said.

2. I am about to become a god-parent in October! My sweet friends, Tikeyah and Nick, asked Bryan and I to be the godparents of their son, Demeterius Jamal. I AM SO EXCITED - but know this a big responsibility.

3. We are praying though becoming foster parents and are currently taking the certification classes. I KNOW the Lord wants us to do this, just still praying through if this is the right TIME.

A few moments I want to remember

2010-01-24T12:25:00.000-08:00

Neighborhood friends + Kelly boys = lots of super heros!

ALL of my boys at Ethan's 6th birthday party

A pot of Spaghetti fed over 12 people!

And this is what I get to see every morning at 6:30! I am sure it won't be long before Ben can handle one of those stools too!

Ben 8 months

2010-01-24T12:10:00.001-08:00

How in the world has time gone by so fast?!

Your 8th month of life was very exciting....

Christmas, of course, was MUCH fun for you - all you cared about was the paper and the 2 toys that you got :)

A visit to the mountains to see Aunt Boo, Uncle Jason, and both great-grandmothers lifted everyone's spirits!

And ALL you want to do is crawl around and pull up on what ever you can!

Oh - and your nursery became the playroom, and now you sleep in a guest room in a pack n play, and had no problems with the transition at all!

Be careful what you pray for....

2009-12-27T15:04:00.000-08:00

I was REALLY discouraged (to the point of tears!) the other day about how VERY messy my house was...

Bryce looked at me and said,

"Well, you probably shouldn't have wished for boys!"

Where is Ben?

2009-12-07T13:40:00.001-08:00

Look at this really fun playmat set up just for Benjamin Lee... oh, wait, where IS he???

Scooting...
Scooting...
Scooting!

Thanks to my mom for letting us borrow a pre-lit space-saving tree! The boys LOVED decorating and even now, Levi rearranges all the ornaments at the bottom of the tree to his liking...

Here is Daddy giving instructions and announcing that he is the official hook hanger.

Levi likes to hang as many on one branch as possible.

Conversation with Bryce

2009-12-03T07:51:00.000-08:00

Conversation #1: Bryce with a neighbor friend who was spending the night:

"Bryce, you wanna ... mom... dad..... sleep........?" (who knows what he wanted to do!)

(Looking at him very seriously,) "No, cause that would be disobeying."

Conversation #2: On the way home from school in the van:

"I am SO thankful that I get out of school at 12:30 instead of 3! I would have like 3 more hours of school today! And it's a christian school, so that's good. That is a long time for those kids to be under the influence."

"Under the influence of what, Bryce?"

"Sin! You know, the kids who get to go to bible study on Wednesday nights, that's all they get. Then they have to spend all those hours in school under the influence. Why don't they go to a christian school?"

Ben 7 months

2009-12-02T16:56:00.000-08:00

Benjamin Lee, you are 7 months old and changing every day. I must confess that with your brothers, I was in such a hurry for that next milestone to be reached. When will he sit up? When will he eat solids? etc, etc. With you, things have been SO different. I KNOW that the next milestone is just around the corner. I have taken so much joy in paying attention to the tiny steps of progress you take each day that lead you to the next big thing. It has been full of sweet moments and way less stressful! I laugh when I think of how stressed out I would be at the pediatricians office when the nurse asks all the questions about development! You, of course, are going to be a genius, so I am not worried at all ;)

So, this month, some of my favorite moments are:

Toes in mouth

learning to scoot:
loves up high with daddy!:
still loving the exersaucer:
Pulling up!

My favorite Ben picture so far:

Levi and his night-nights:

UP HIGH is the theme of the day:
Like I said, sometimes up high is the only safe to play Legos!
Ethan loves to play Lego Batman
Bryce spends hours setting up people and animals~!
And last, but not least, one more UP HIGH picture for ya!

Football Champions!

2009-11-14T14:49:00.000-08:00

I am so proud of Bryce and his team! They are the Champions in their YMCA football league!

I was finally able to go to a game and Bryce did so well.

He started off the season not even trying and MAD every time he had to go to practice.

Then one day, he did really well, got some compliments, and decided to start playing HARD.

I have seen him make a complete turn-around in his attitude and I am so proud.

Pictures are from BK's phone so they are a little fuzzy.

Funniest story in a while

2009-11-13T06:47:00.000-08:00

Several years ago, I decided to teach my oldest boys my phone number in case of emergencies. I think Ethan was 3 and Bryce was 5. I was so surprised how quickly they learned it! Well, a while ago, BK decided to change phone plans and decided that the best plan was for him to take my number and for a while I had to keep his old number. So now, Bryce and Ethan both know DAD's number, not mine. For some reason, this was fine with me, as long as they knew at least one number.

This fall, Bryce has been playing football at the YMCA that is less than a mile from our house. It works out so well with our busy schedule. I drop Bryce off for practice and then he calls his dad when it is time to pick him up.

Well, last night, BK was out of town and I wasn't sure when he would be back, so I told Bryce he would need to call me when practice was over. I proceeded to pull out a little yellow sticky pad and quickly wrote my cell number down for him.

"Mom, the last time you did this, I lost it!"

"Bryce, all you have to do is take this paper to the LADY at the FRONT DESK and tell her to please hold it for you so you can call your mom when practice is over."

"OK" (reluctantly)

I folded up the the little yellow sticky note with my number on it and Bryce got out of the car and proceeded to walk straight up to his COACH, while I am watching, hand HIM the note and say, "My mom wanted me to give this to you."

Oh. My. Gosh. You should have seen the coaches face when he opened it up. Mine was beet red.

How I spent my Monday morning

2009-11-10T15:34:00.001-08:00

Lots of children=lots of laundry! Does this look familiar to anyone or is it just me?!

So my strategy to avoid this, when I stick to it - is to do one load a day. Occasionally with this plan I will have to do an additional load of linens or towels, but in general it REALLY WORKS!

I have found that if I wash and dry one load at night, then when i wake up in the morning, I have all day to get it sorted, folded and put away. I also have separate laundry baskets for each person, which makes it easy to sort and also to know who needs theirs done the most.

But, of course, a few days of NOT sticking to the plan and I am under this mountain once again!

Just one of those things that works for me and i want to remember what it looked like when all the clothes were small.... (what will I do when they are all wearing gigantic jeans?!)

Ben's first sink bath

2009-11-09T12:20:00.001-08:00

I just realized today that Benjamin could now take his baths in the kitchen sink, since he can sit up so well. I was thinking, "I need to get one of those little seats that go in the tub because he could still fall over and he is too big for that baby tub now..." Then it hit me - THE SINK!! Of course Levi was so very interested in helping me bathe him.

I think he really liked it!

Note to self: Lysol the edges and rinse BEFORE he takes his bath!

And of course, as soon as I came back from dressing Ben, this is what I found:

The "I Prayed for Boys" Story

2009-10-28T18:40:00.000-07:00

From the time I was very young, I wanted to be a wife and mother. I think it's because I know I have one of the most amazing mother's ever created.

I was in elementary school and I can remember hearing a missionary speak at a mission's conference at church. I was so young, but I remember tearing up, and knowing that the Holy Spirit was moving in my heart. I knew I was supposed to "go".

I went on several small trips with youth groups and then in college, my chance finally came. I was asked to be a part of a team of students going to Kazakhstan. At that time, I was dating Bryan (a college minister) and to tell the truth, when I got to KZ, I was pretty sure I was NOT going to be a missionary there! I don't think it was because I was hoping to marry BK and stay in the states. In fact, I knew he was open to going anywhere for the Lord. Turns out, the Lord just had other plans for me!

While in KZ, the missionaries asked that we pray for the local church there, specifically for there to be more men involved in those churches. As I prayed, I became overwhelmed by how many godly women seemed to be a part of my Christian circles, but how few truly godly men there were. It was during a prayer time reading in the Psalms that my heart was filled with a desire to be part of raising up godly men for the Kingdom of God here on earth ( i know that sounds weird!) I prayed for sons. For boys. And for our churches to be filled with men who would be leaders.

When I got back from that mission trip, that time of prayer stood out as a highlight of my summer. It was such an intense time with the Lord and I knew He had really spoken to my heart.

Bryan and I got engaged that fall and married in the spring. Though we were surprised to see a positive pregnancy test that summer after just 3 months of marriage - we were not surprised to see an ultrasound at 20 weeks that revealed a BOY!

Since then, everyone is always hoping that I will have a girl.... but I know better! This is my calling. And 4 sons later, I am amazed at how personal the Lord was that summer in KZ.

But it doesn't stop there! This is the part that gives me chills.

We knew our last year of seminary that the Lord wanted us to begin a work of Urban Ministry. It didn't take me long to see how much deeper this calling of raising up men for the Kingdom of God was going to go. Our streets are filled with boys. Young boys, who spend their free time outside on the street with no fathers in their homes. Their role models are the drug dealers who just so happen to be their cousins, uncles, or older brothers. They can't even imagine a life outside our neighborhood. There is no thought of college or marriage. No thought of growing old with the love of your life and playing with grandkids. There is such a need for a new generation of men in my neighborhood - men who love the Lord and who will stand for justice and righteousness, and then raise their family to do the same.

And the Lord has brought them to my house by the car full!!

In many ways, this has made my life so easy! I KNOW what I am supposed to do: Raise my own 4 sons to love the Lord and do whatever will help my husband as he shares his faith and life with the boys on my street. To open my home for snacks, school projects, sleepovers and video games. My prayer is that HERE, they will sense love, mercy, and acceptance, and that it will make them long for Jesus, who can give them all those things in abundance. I am constantly praying for God to show me what other ways He wants me to engage, but for now, this is enough.

The Lord is GREAT and GREATLY to be PRAISED!

Keeping the Gospel in front of your children

2009-10-17T06:08:00.001-07:00

This book is SO practical! I really struggle with knowing exactly what to say to my children in times of corrective instruction and this book has helped me tremendously. After reading some of this, I was really convicted that I really need to be expecting from my children what the Lord expects of me.

He does not expect Perfection - that is why Jesus had to come live and die for us! He expects us to submit to His authority and to want to obey and try hard to keep his commands out of our love for Him - and relying on the Holy Spirit for help. He wants us to have a tender conscience, a teachable spirit and a heart that listens to his voice. He wants us to confess our sin and be humble in our repentance. And when we must be disciplined, we need to accept it and learn from it. This has been so freeing for me as I pray these things for my children, and understand that they are sinners and will continue to sin!!

I am going to post the part that has helped me the most, and will tell the specific stories in another post. Try this!

" Son, you can't obey by yourself! That is why Jesus died on the cross, because we can't do it ourselves. Remember the Bible says that Jesus died so that we would have new life. You can't obey in your own strength, but you can obey in Jesus strength. Let's pray right now and ask Jesus to help.

' Dear God, please help me to obey you and love you. I just can't do it by myself. Please forgive me for ____. Please help me to trust you. I know that you are the only one who can help me be different and turn my heart to you. Please help me to obey my parents and to obey you.'"

Benjamin 6 months

2009-10-16T14:25:00.001-07:00

Ben , you are 6 months old already! You change everyday, little by little - it is a miracle right before my eyes. How you love to eat! You have cereal after your bottle in the morning and veggies and fruits for lunch and dinner. You take after me by preferring the sweet stuff :) You are sitting up for longer periods of time by yourself, though you still topple over. You can turn yourself around on your belly - i often find you on the other side of the crib. You can finally flip back over from your back to your stomach, though sometimes i think you forget you can do it. It is hard to hold you because you are always twisting and turning to see what is going on and to reach for things. Your eyes are almost completely brown now instead of navy blue. We are all still waiting on your hair and teeth to arrive, but something tells me it will be a while, like it was for Bryce. I love you, Ben!

A story i want to remember..

2009-10-16T14:23:00.001-07:00

My mom calls these two, "Group 2"! They are 21 months apart, just like Bryce and Ethan are. I kinda think they will get along a little better than Group 1. I enjoy my mornings with them and laugh when I remember the days with Group 1 at this age. Bryan was in seminary and it was just so new to me to have 2 children. They are so sweet and even though Levi is into EVERYTHING, he is so funny and really does love his baby brother.

Yesterday, I offered to keep my friend Paula's 4 kids while she went to the consignment sale alone.... anyone hear the scary music in the background??? hahaha! Her boys are 7, 6, and 4 and a sweet little 4 month old girl. It was CrAZY!!! 8 children. wow. I think it confirmed that Benjamin is the LAST Kelly :) I couldn't have done it if Brittany (our roommate) and a teen girl hadn't been here to help. I am not kidding about the following events:

1. AC (baby girl) woke up as soon as her mom left and swore she had been abducted by aliens and refused to stop screaming.

2. Levi fell off the deck in the back and was showing signs of a mild concussion. (he is fine now)

3. The 2 oldest boys hit each other and BOTH noses started to bleed.

4. Bryce jumped off something and hurt his foot - we thought it was broken, but it's not.

5. BK called to tell me that someone had backed into his truck in the Regions parking lot, and could I bring the camera. Obviously I could not!

6. The only reason Ethan didn't make this list is because he was in his room ALL DAY for some bad behavior at school!

Amazingly, all survived and we even enjoyed a taco salad dinner together when Paula got back.

The crazy thing is, I am sure I will offer to do it again. :)

Family Night

2009-10-16T14:01:00.001-07:00

This year we have reserved Friday nights as "Family Night." I hope to get a little more creative with it some day by having themes, but for now we settle for movie nights on the pull out couch, ice cream treats, and we even went to Toys R Us once. Any time we leave, Weegie keeps Benjamin since our outings are always past seven - this is a HUGE help and eliminates so much stress for me. Before the building was done, Bryan was getting home semi-early and so our evenings were a little longer. now, with having to take kids home in the evening, he is home later.. but that's ok. I hope this tradition continues for years to come.

For Instruction In Righteousness

2009-09-26T08:22:00.000-07:00

The book, "For Instruction in Righteousness," (from www.doorposts.net) has become an essential part of my day! It is an AMAZING resource for using the scriptures to really train my children as I discipline them. I have been leaving it out and open on the counter or table and refer to it many times a day. As situations come up, I am able to easily find the topic I am dealing with (anger, disobedience, lying, hitting, etc) and immediately have access to bible verses and ideas for effective discipline. For example, when Ethan came home from school and had been in trouble for pinching a friend, I was able to have several consequences ready to help train him, and let him see the seriousness of hands that hurt other people.

1. He did receive 5 spankings.

2. He was not allowed to play with friends for the afternoon.

3. He had to make something for the child he hurt, to show his repentance and love.

Levi Quotes

2009-09-26T08:15:00.001-07:00

When we were sharing a bowl of casserole, he hopped down to get a drink and said, " Don't eat it all Mommy, DON'T!"

He asked Jamie if she wanted some money and when she said yes, he pulled some pennies out of the crotch of his pull-up and handed them to her :)

When Jordan asked him to go get a new pull-up, he replied, "Don't make me cry!" (Just like Weegie had said to him when he wouldn't give her a hug that day.

Ethan quotes for September

2009-09-07T19:26:00.000-07:00

"Why are we eating Boston's Butt!?"

"Mom, is there such things as leprechauns? What about walnuts? What about stars on earth and rockets that jump?"

"ethan, please stay in the backyard" "ok, but first i am going to get the bees." "Where are they?" "In my bed!" "Oh. o.k."

Ethan: "Mom, you should have cheered for me when I ate all my oatmeal this morning." Me: "Yay." Ethan: "Now say it like you mean it!"

"Benjamin, when you grow up, you can fight like a good guy, OR you can help build your own house!"

Repentance

2009-08-25T18:23:00.000-07:00

I just had to take a moment at the end of a really LONG day and write what just happened with Bryce. I had to move him out of the room with Levi (it just wasn't working!) and he got really upset and said "I hate you! I wish I lived somewhere else."

I heard him, chose to remain calm and just told him that what he said hurt me and please get in bed.

Well, a few minutes later, he came out of his room with tears in his eyes, and said, " I am sorry for being so disrespectful to you mom and for saying those things." FINALLY! a glimpse of some true repentance from him! It was a wonderful moment and i didn't want to forget it.

Philippians 1:9-11

2009-07-28T13:21:00.000-07:00

⁹And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, ¹⁰so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, ¹¹filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.

This is a GREAT verse to be praying for my boys.

A deeper understanding of Jesus' love and death on the cross and growth in love for others will lead to discernment and righteousness! As I train them in the GOSPEL, they will grow and produce these fruits that I LONG for them to have. Ethan seems to be having the hardest time with this lately. He KNOWS right from wrong, but really struggles to remain pure and blameless in everyday situations. I do not need to get discouraged by his (their) immaturity because if the Lord has begun a good work in them, then He promises to carry it to completion." ⁶being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus."

Benjamin's 3 month Personality

My sweet Ben-a-min- (that's what Levi calls you!) You are definitely my easiest baby. You are content where ever I put you - even in a pink life jacket on a pontoon boat. You cry when you are wet, dirty, sleepy or hungry - but that's it! You have been sleeping thru the night for a month now and that helps me tremendously. You are a talker and a singer and don't mind WHO happens to be holding you - it can be mommy, levi or the neighbors across the street.

Ethan and Tomatos

2009-07-26T08:34:00.001-07:00

A great learning opportunity for Ethan happened last week. On one of his daily adventures in the neighborhood with Danny (his BFF) they decided to begin smashing tomatoes in a yard behind us. Obviously, this was a poor choice! Mr. Johnson was upset and he let us know it! Ethan is in the process of learning how to have fun WITHOUT being destructive, but it is a hard lesson for him to learn and definitely counter-cultural. The lesson was obviously for me in humility and the nail was driven in when Mr. Johnson brought me a bag of his beautiful tomatoes to enjoy. He forgave Ethan and showed me what being a neighbor is all about.
