Easter!!

We had a great Easter. Good hunt and good candy!! We missed brandon something awful!! He enjoyed his Easter package that we mailed to him though.

Skype

SKYPE....Thanks to the person who invented this. We get to talk to brandon and normally see him almost every day. We send some pictures back and fourth and its great to see his smile every day!!! We love you!!!!

Breonna's birthday

Brandon's neice turned 3. It was a great party with hard hitting pinata!!! We missed you brandon!!!

Unnamed

He was gone before my sun was shinning

He thought it would be best

To avoid all the hurting and the crying

To put my heart at rest

He'll drive himself to work this day

Knowing he might not come back

He tells us "In bed you should stay"

We wake up, its our Dad we lack

He has been gone from us before

It was not so long ago

We keep watching for him at our door

When he'll come back, we dont know

Mommy says he is helping the needy

I just think I need my daddy too

I try not to be so greedy

But what else is a child to do??

Im told its only a year

12 months or 365 days

Its not exactly what I want to hear

I wish I had a Daddy that stays

I'll ask him every time we talk

"are you coming home yet?"

I know this hurt I can not block

His time away Ill regret

He is an American soldier

But he is my Daddy too

When he gets home Ill be so much older

We'll have alot of catching up to do.

New School

Good bye Vass-Lakeview and Hello Riverside!! Caden started his new school. He seemed a little nervous, but he is super smart and handsome.. he is doing just fine. He has a great teacher with lots of experience. He is right up there with the smartest kids in the class!! My big boy!

Dillin's Birthday

We had a great great suprise party for Dillin's 4th

birthday. Even though Daddy was not here, he really enjoyed himself. He had a great great look on his face when he rounded the corner and every one jumped out. AMAZING

Move to PA

We are on our way to start a new chapter in PA. It will be bitter sweet since we will be living there alone, without brandon for quite some time!!! But when he gets back, we will know he will never have to leave us for a year again!!!
