Happy Anniversary Matt & Casey

I miss you every Day!!!  Love you Matt!

Myles is getting so Big!

Myles is getting so BIG and so Smart!  Myles started school this September.  He is going to 3k once a week.  It is good for him to be around other kids.  His cousin Emily
is also in his class. Myles has taken to school really good.  He enjoys playing with the other kids.

The big thing for Myles and his cousins are dinasours!  Gavin has brought dinasours
to Grandma Kitty's.  We had to go shopping to get all the differen dinasours so the
kids can play with them.  It is unbelievable how the kids know each name of different
dinasours and if they are meat eaters or leaf eaters!!  Myles favorite dinasour is the T-Rex!!  Myles' puppy has to play with the new T-Rex at Grandma kittys.

Myles last hair cut was a breeze!  Now that Travis and puppy got their haircut it was
okay for Myles to sit good and get a haircut!!  Haircuts have not been fun!!

Myles so excited for his first day of school.

I Love You Son

My dear son! I miss you so much
It keeps hurting, I can't stop crying
My eyes always search for you in the sky
Heart longs for finding you in the heaven

My dear son! You are my angel
I still feel that you are caring me from above
I tell my broken heart that you are still watching me
Heart longs for your care even from heaven

My dear son! You are my protector
I remember you when I feel lonely
I talk to you when I break into pieces
Heart longs for your support even from heaven

Matt you are in my Heart ALWAYS!
I Love You Son!

S

Happy Birthday!

Matt you wouldn't believe how your son is growing!!  He is three years old all ready!
He can count into the teens!  I like eleventeen and twelveteen!!  He knows all his colors!  Jenny and I went shopping and he walked the the ribbon isle and said all the colors right!  Including black, white, gray and brown besides all the normal colors!
Myles loves playing with cars and trucks!  He lines them up on your old carpets and plays all day if you let him!!  He also loves to run and kick the soccer ball!  I think he
might follow your foot steps and play soccer!!!

You would be happy with the new Man Casey has picked to spend the rest of her life with!  Travis Riggs!  Our family sees how great he is with Casey and Myles!  You
don't have to worry!  They are getting married next June!

Casey entered your car in Riverfest car show.  Your car got best of show in your class!

Matt I still feel sometimes you are going to walk through the garage door and

I will get to see you again!  I know that is not possible but I do feel you around

me alot!  I love you and miss you so much. When ever I see a blue dragonfly I

think of you spreading your joy and smile to everyone!

 

 

The Dragonfly

 

Once, in a little pond, in the muddy water under the lily pads,

thee lived a little water beetle in a community of water beetles.

They lived a simple and comfortable life in the pond with few

Disturbances and interruptions.

 

Once in a while, sadness would come to the community

when one of their fellow beetles would climb the stem of a lily pad

and would never be seen again.  They knew when this happened;

their friend was dead, gone forever.

 

Then, one day, one little water beetle felt an irresistible urge

to clim up that stem.  However, he was determined that he

would not leave forever.  He would come back and tell his friends

what he had found at the top.

 

Whe he reached the top and climbed out of the water onto the

surface of the lily pad, he was so tired, and the sun felt so warm,

that he decided he must take a nap.  As he slept, his body changed and

when he woke up he had turned into a beautiful blue-tailed dragonfly

with broad wings and a slender body designed for flying.

 

So, fly he did!  And, as he soared he saw the beauty of a whole

new world and a far superior way of life to what he had never

known existed.

 

Then he remembered his beetle friends and how they were thinking

by now he was dead.  He wanted to go back to tell them, and explain

to them that he was now more alive than he had ever been before.

His life had been fulfilled rather than ended.

 

But, his new body would not go down into the water.  He could

not get back to tell his friends the good news.  then he understood

that their time would come, when they, too, would

know what he now knew.  So he raised his wings and flew off

into his joyous new life!

 

Miss you Matt!  Spread your wings and we will see you one day!

Myles has been growing so fast!  Myles can count, as

he would say, "Eleventeen, twelveteen"!  He can say

and recognized all the letters in the alphabet already!

He knows all his colors even recoginize black and white!

 

 

Myles is now 2 weeks clear of wearing big boy pants.

Casey found Paw Patrol underwear and Myles loves them.

He does not want to get any of the puppies, Rubble, Chase,

Marshall wet!  So he is dry all day and night.  He is even

sitting on the adult potty!  Hey Myles!

 

Myles is such a great joy to have as a grandson! I

feel so blessed to have four fabulous grandson's. Matt

you would be so proud of you sisters and wife how they

are raising the boys!!

 

Matt I miss you so much!  I think everyday of the great

hugs you would give me!  I imagine those hugs and can

feel you hugging me!! Love you!
