I had the most amazing Saturday. John & Will are the most talented, amazing, outgoing, witty, wonderful, loving, creative, crazy kids I know. && I am dead serious when I say they are the smartest 6 & 9 year olds known to man. They are little geniuses!
Sam volunteered his time, energy & his testosterone to spend the day with us... as we took on hikes, BB guns & fishing. The boys loved, loved, loved Sam! && he was so good with them. He knew exactly when to be act like a 6 or 9 year old && he knew exactly when to pull the reigns a little bit. I had no doubts about Sam going into the day.. but still I must say he really impressed me.
It was wonderful day spent with 3 wonderful boys...
[activity one] Pilot Mountain.
I didn't know my heart was able to swoon yet, until I caught this moment.
The boys believed the knob of Pmount was made of "a good quality sandstone".. I'm telling you.. GENIUSES!
[activity two] BB guns && Diet Mountain Dew Cans.
Yes, I did shoot the BB gun. & yes, I actually did hit the first can of the day!
[activity three] Fishing & Feeding Ducks.
As I sit here in my bed, pretty much bawling my eyes out as I reflect on this day.. I get so excited to know that these feisty, little boys will grow into wonderful, worldly, loving, intelligent men of God. They already understand His love & the power of prayer. These boys have helped me learn how to love & love hard.
Kelly, you are the most amazing woman. You are so strong & such a light. I pray one day that your boys will see your insanely bright beauty & your always-growing love for them. My life has been truly blessed by you & your family. You have incredible kids who are going to change this world someday... & I personally can't wait to watch them do so. It has been a blessing to watch you teach your boys about their good & faithful Savior and you have personally reminded me about the power of faith through the hardest hardships. I can never thank you enough for hiring me! :) I love you & I love your boys.
