Happy 16th Birthday MiCayla

MiCayla,
As I sit here tonight writing to you so many things cross my mind. I really don't know where to begin.
I will never forget the day you were born and hearing you cry through the hospital doors.
You had a glow in your eyes that would pierce this grandmas heart. I don't know who's smile was bigger your mom's or mine.
You were always dressed so cute and happy.
I will always remember when you would come to visit when you were little and cry to want to stay...He he he you had that one down to a key..
You have been a BIG part of my life as you have grown up to be a beautiful young lady.
You are still as cute as you were when you were small and you still love to stay at Grandma's...
One day maybe we will share the videos that we made of you and I singing Justin Bieber and the Creep...LOL. And out late nights to wallmart...
I have so many wonderful memories of you MiCayla growing up with Tom and Shelbie that I catch a glance of something you do that reminds me of them.
Your mom has done such a wonderful job of raising you to become who you are.
Sweet 16 is the moment of truth. My wish for you is to have confidence for when you doubt. Rainbows to follow the clouds. Laughter to kiss your lips., and smiles if sadness intrudes. You have been through alot of laughter, smiles, and sadness that no young girl should have had to face...Always remember when you are at doubt we are here, your family,and Shelbie will help you out....You will face many adventures of life and I am proud to know that you will be as GREAT as you are now. Your brothers and little Keslee will always look up to you for advice and through your kindness and thoughtfulness you will help guide them through their lifes...Good luck today as you have your first day in the Drivers Ed car...Don't be nervous just be the last driver so you can hear what the teacher has to tell the ones ahead of you. Then you can do better on their mistakes. LOL

Hope you had a nice 16th Birthday and I love you much!!!!

Catching Up

I miss you Shell every day of my life. To place a flower for you Shell on memorial day is just the beginning of how I miss and love you every day. I just hang in there day by day knowing that some day I will be able to

hold and embrace you again. It is going on five years since you took your last breath and as you know that last breath also took part of my heart away. I know that mom is with you and keeping you safe. I miss you to mom every day.Not having you here is hard and I want you to know that what you had taught me in life I will always remember . You were the best mother ever. As to all my family members that have past on. I send my love. 

We went fishing at Strawberry on memorial day and on my last post Kyson was the fishy catcher. Well, as you can see Cam and Parley look on hoping they will get a bite.

Ed was hoping he would catch one of the tagged fish they have planted in Strawberry. It is worth $25,000.00 and several more worth some good money.

Well, this is number three that I caught. They were biting as quick as I could roll them in, bait them and throw it out. It must had been the lucky fishing pole that Ed got me for Mother's Day. LOL

Here is my catch minus one or two we had to throw back. One of them were Tom's but, I must say that I was the winner.

Here is the biggest fatty fish I caught. Dang I wished it would had been tagged....I would have made my family more jealous than they allready were..LOL The funny thing about it was that I was fishing right in the middle of everyone...Can't figure that one out other than luckyyyy.

When we were pulling in town Mandy had called wondering if we wanted to come over and have a barbeque burger. She makes the best burgers. I want you to know Mandy that I don't know what I would do without you. You are always thinking or doing for others...Love You









Keslee is the sweetest little chicky....Wonder what she is up to. hehehehe

 

Cason and Emma graduated from kindergarten. I went to the graduation and I couldn't believe how smart these little ones really were. Their teacher had them sing several songs about different colors and they did the colors in sign language. I was so impressed with them.

CASON Look out First Grade cause here I come......Grandma loves you!!!!!

Lucky Widdle Fisherman

Ed and I were planning on going fishing today. It was suppose to be cloudy but, it seemed like a nice day to get out. Sara had to work so Tom and Kyson came along. We went to Strawberry It was VERY cold and I had worn capris. Dummy me. The wind was blowing, my legs and toes were about froze off but it didn't keep anyone from throwing in a line. Kyson waited patiently.

And his patience paid off !!!! He caught the first fish, and that happened to be the FIRST fish he had ever caught. Wow was he one excited widdle boy !!!

I think he brought alot of luck with him because, he not only caught one, he caught another one. He kept saying to me that this was the biggest fish he had ever seen. Boy grandma this is a BIGGEST fish of all...He was so excited but not as excited as we were and look at his Daddy !!!!! So proud of his widdle boy !!!!

His FIRST BIG fishy weighed in at 2 pounds.

His second fishy weighed in at 1 pound.

Now all the fun cleaning out the fish as we all looked on. 

Kyson is going to have his FIRST fish taxedermy. The closing of this story is. No matter how lucky you are, No matter if it is your FIRST fish you have caught. It is all in that bottle of bait which you use. LOL. Thanks for coming along with us. No matter how freezing cold it was, there was a VERY happy ending. Love my family....

Let's Go Fly A Kite !!!

Mandy called the other day and wondered if we wanted to go and watch the kids fly kites. It was so fun.We went across the street on the school grass. She had packed some food for a picnic. The weather was perfect and the kiddies had a BLAST.Thanks for inviting me Mandy. Love You, Sweet Times!!!!
