Veterans I hold dear to my heart!

My father, father-in-law and husband were all veterans of

our military. Since this is memorial day and they have many

friends who have passed, I would like to take a moment to honor

my hero's. The veterans whom I hold dear to my heart.

First my father-one of the greatest, wisest men I know.

I love you daddy!

Second to my father-in-law the kindest, gentlest man I have

ever known. I love you dad!

Third and not last my husband who has worked hard to not only

support his wife and children, but he has fought hard for this country.

I love you sweetheart.

You are all my heros..I am honorned to know you, to love

you and to be part of your life!

Sassy Sariah

As I have said before, Sariah is a sassy little girl

(not in a bad way, but in a cute way). This girl has some

attitude, she is going to give her mom and dad a run for their

money when she is a teenager.

Sariah is absolutely the cutest thing. She says the funniest

things and I have to admit she is the most adorble little girl,

she makes me smile. She is teaching Aurellia a thing or two

along the line...watch out that house is going to be full of some

serious attitude. LOL

Happy Mothers Day!

These pictures will make all the girls mad! But Happy Mothers

day to our favorite girls ever! The date on that camera is wrong.

This was taken last Sept right after Ryder was born.

To Danielle who is a mother of three, what a joy it is to watch

you with your three beautiful children. To Laura who is expecting

her first baby in August what an exciting time for you and your

sweetheart. To SaundraJo who is our sweet daughter-in-law and

the mother of my four grandchildren, you are so busy with the

kids and all that you have been through this last year, we're proud of you.

Dad and I honor you and are so proud of you girls for all you do and

how hard you work as mothers. The greatest gift you will ever be given

is that of being a mother, you are beautiful daughters of God and he

loves you, he is mindful of your stresses and your joys. Always remember

who you are and your purpose in being a mother.

We love you all dearly,

Mom and Dad

T-ball game. I am so proud of Michael

Update on Ryder

I realized the other day that I have not updated on Ryder

in a long time. So, I thought I would take a little time and update

you all on Ryder and how well he is doing. Our family is so proud

of his progress and how well he is doing!!!!

Ryder is doing so well! He is 8 months old. Although, he

is still on Oxygen, he is doing remarkable. He is rolling over,

says da da, is talking up a storm (in his own little language).

He is such a growing boy and doing so well.

I will attached a few pictures of him! He is adoreable!!!

1st Picture is in April when Ryder was caught chewing on his

oxygen tube. LOL

2nd Picture was taken in March when they were out for Easter,

Ryder's first outing and we took him to Chuck E Cheese.

We tried to keep him back away from the others. He had a great

time though! 3rd Picture is of him in April when I was out there

visiting. He was just having fun!
