Guess What?!

We're pregnant! The baby is due in March, I am only 4 weeks and I know that it is still early but I am just too excited to keep this information to myself.

Love,
Johnnie, Veronica, Dakota and Logan

Dad

No words I write can ever say
How much I miss you everyday
As time goes by the loneliness grows
How I miss you, nobody knows
I think of you in silence
I often speak your name
But all I have are memories
And photos in a frame
No one knows my sorrow
No one sees me weep
But the love I have for you
Is in my heart to keep
I’ve never stopped loving you
I’m sure I never will
Deep inside my heart
You are with me still
Heartaches in this world are many
But mine is worse than any
My heart still aches as I whisper low
“I need you and miss you so”
The things we feel so deeply
Are often the hardest to say
But I just can’t keep quiet anymore
So I’ll tell you anyway
There is a place in my heart
That no one else can fill
I love you so Dad
And I always will


March 15, 1949 - July 10, 2002....Missing you always....Loving you forever!

Happy Anniversary/Birthday Johnnie

I should of posted this yesterday but I was a little busy. It has been an amazing 2 years of wedded bliss. The road hasn't always been smooth but our love for each other continues to grow and that is what really counts. Johnnie turned 30 so we are officially out of our 20's. We surprised him with a cake and the kids tried to smash his face but we just couldn't do it...he is just to fast...maybe next year when he is a little older =)

4th of July

We had so much fun at Crystals yesterday. We went swimming, ate good food, had great entertainment (all the kiddos) and watch some fireworks. Emily made the kids a 4th of July pinata and wow that was really fun to watch. Tysen had us laughing so hard with his awesome personality. Really that kid is hilarious! It was the perfect day, I love being with family.

I think July is the hardest month for me. The 4th of July was the last holiday that I got to spend with my dad. I loved getting a reaction out of him. I know he pretended to be annoyed but deep down he really loved it. I am not a singer BUT I love to sing. I was at my parents house for a BBQ before we went to the high school to see the fire works. Proud to be an American came on the radio and I was singing it and he told me to shut up....of course everyone who knows me knows I don't do what I am told so I sang it even louder. While we were at the fireworks show that same song came on and I looked at my dad with a huge smile, he gave me the don't you dare look. I love that memory of him, it's one of my favorites. I still can't believe that it will be 7 years. It still hurts and makes me sad. I love you Papa!

The picture above is when I graduated. I think that is when he was the most proud of me.
