These are some pics from the last few months…..senior pic, graduation, 18th birthday…..love em….
Dylan invaded my life on a chilly October evening….quietly….with red hair and the most beautiful blue eyes I’ve ever seen…..it was love at first sight….He was and always has been a joy to raise…..thoughtful….loving….incredibly funny……stuborn beyond belief….yet charming when he wants to be…..he can dance a mean chicken that leaves all of us on the ground laughing uncontrollably…..he teases me relentlessly…..about some fool thing…..EVERYDAY…..he has taught my younger sons to call me “woman”…..says it’s biblical…..that’s what Jesus called his mother….that’s what he’s gonna call me…..sigh…..in some ways, he is a lot like me…..which can be rather disconsorting at times….yet, it helps me know when to push him and when to leave him alone….he has a tender heart…..is loyal to a fault…..struggles with injustice in this world…..wants people to do the right thing…..always….hates confrontation of any kind…..who does…..(except me)…..yet has the most profound things to say at the most randon times…..Oh, and his favorite line….”What is the key lesson we’ve learned today?”….Don’t listen to women!!…..sigh…..I look forward to watching him grow into the man God has designed him to be….laughing all the way….i love you dj….
This picture makes me laugh…..because when Dustin smiles…..it’s contagious…..and this is usally how he always is…..one big smile…..he is so easy going….always has been….my easiest child……still is…..not to homeschool….that’s another story altogether…..but to get along with…..he and I get into sometimes…..if he thinks I’m unfair….he makes sure I know it….we have had to hash through some stuff in our day…..I love that about him….most of the time he is either on his skateboard, piano or playing his bass…..something loud is always coming from his bedroom…..he is gifted at music…..differently than his brothers….I love that he is trying to carve out something that’s just him…..he believes the best in people…..a quality I find exceptionally endearing…..i love how he loves…..deeply….intensely….no holding back…..It also scares me at the same time….I don’t want anyone to hurt him…..yet, I know…..smile……he also has the most beautiful green eyes….and if his head was not attached to his shoulders he would forget it, leave it behind, or lose it……all the time…..sigh……I love you dusty….Oh….and I love it when he calls me on my crunk!!!
Davis without a hat…..impossible…..for him, i mean…..it is a permanent fixture upon his delightfully, charming head….AND what can I say about Dave…..SIGH…..that he drives me crazy in the most beautiful way……that my life is never boring with him around…..he questions EVERYTHING i say…..has an opinion about EVERYTHING I do or make him do…..challenges me at every corner…..BUT has the most giving, loving, self-sacrificing heart….the most beautiful green eyes…. a laugh that makes you laugh right along with him….the ability to make you feel like you’re the only person in the room….the only one that really matters……I would not be who I am today without Davis as my son…..love you Mavey…..
You’re looking at a great man…..who I happen to meet every morning at 6:30 am……because he’s the only one that can drag me and my fat butt up Mt. Rubidoux…..but….he’s been a little under the weather lately…..so I’ve lost my walking partner for the next few weeks…..hurry and get well DADDY….i miss our three mile talks….the sound of your breathing…..crunch of your shoes…..your advice…..the way you can always let me ramble on and on and on….sigh…….and still get up the next morning to do it all over again……thanks for being my daddy…..I LOVE YOU….you silly ‘ol man!
