Sorry I haven't written in a long time, but I do think of you EVERYDAY! Can you believe that Ashley graduated from high school last friday night? They are all growing up so fast, Andy is getting really tall, and Shelby is too, Jaedyn just turned 2 a week ago.
Shelby and I went to the cemetary tonight and planted flowers ....he loves to plant and is a great help with it. I really think Jaedyn can see you...she will be sitting in her highchair...

Happy Father's Day Dad!!
I love you very much and miss you very much too...I can't believe you have been gone over 2 years already. I'm sure you already know this, but I had a beautiful baby girl named Jaedyn Alyssa on May 22. I really wish you would have gotten to meet her in person.

MERRY CHRISTMAS DAD!!
I just wanted to wish you a very merry christmas, today was a hard day for me, I thought about you all day. This was always our "special" day of the year to spend together and I miss you very much. The kids are doing good, Ashley got all straight A's and Andy got all A's and B's so both were on the honor roll. Shelby is doing pretty good in school too. They are all getting so big....Ashley and Andy are both taller then me now...I know that does't take much...
