Happy Birthday Kyle

Man....time sure passes fast. My baby will be 17 on Friday and starting his senior year this year. Kyle has always been a very outgoing young man. Even as a little fella, he would talk to/go to almost anyone. He has always had a very dynamic personality. He loves music, hunting and like most guys his age ... just hanging out. I can't believe it is time for his Senior year. 

I used to remember all the firsts and now I keep thinking of the lasts. This is his last summer vacation. This will be his last year in the marching band. This will be the last time we buy school clothes and school supplies. Yes, I know, this will also start a new series of firsts also. He just got his first job (well, the first one he got all on his own). Soon, he will be getting to vote for the first time . He will be getting married, having his first child and then an entire series of firsts will start. I miss all the times when Kyle used to crawl up in the bed between Jimmy & me and when he would talk to Colton and say "It's ok Buddy!" and now they fight all the time. Ahhh...brotherly love. 

I love you Kyle and wish you all the happiness in the world. No matter what path you choose or who you choose to spend your life with, Mom will ALWAYS love you and be here for 

you.

Love you bud!!!!

No Caching for Now

Well, I had hoped things would slow down and we would be able to get back to caching, but I guess not. I had knee surgery on 7/7/08 and have an additional test scheduled for a what may lead to a second surgery. Between a gimpy leg and a dying gall bladder, this summer isn't shaping up very well. However, if I am not in the hospital, I do plan to attend the event at Chuck E. Cheese's. My kids are a bit old for the place and won't be attending, but we plan to go and see our friends for a while. The sport of geocaching is great, but the friends we have made have been awesome. If you are in the area on July 8th, stop by and meet some great cachers and maybe, just maybe we will be there too. :o)
