Well I look at this picture and say, Well chicky you need to lose a few more pounds. Oh sorry my bad wrong story. I was so Thankful to God to see my son Dj graduate from 8th Grade. When he was in 3rd grade a teacher said he would never make it. He was SPECIAL! I told that woman that it was best that I leave her classroom before I reached over that table and smacked her one. We struggled to keep Dj going. He had lost all that fire for school because of one teacher. For the next couple of years the teachers and I worked diligently to make sure he did not fail. And anyone who knows me, knows that I will push until it hurts if I have to. I promised God when I left my husband that all the curses he spoke into our lives would not be true.

These are the teachers that made such a difference in his life in elememtary school. First Mrs Mackenzie, the Mr Roy and Mrs Haynes..........






So when Dj began to struggle, all that pain came back and I was determined to keep my promise to God. Now 5 years later, here he is, 3.0 student and starting freshman receiver for the Madison Warhawks. His self-esteem has grown and so has his HEAD. He is the life of the party and has a great love for life and all it has to offer. Congratulations Dj. We love you. Keanu next year I will write about you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can See!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




Well after a long awaited 2 weeks Adrenna finally got her new glasses. SHe had glasses before but the dog ate them. Really, the dog ate them. So here we are before:










And well, after. THe glasses are able to turn dark in the light. So they double as sunglasses. She is very happy to finally get them. Now that summer has started the glasses made it just in time for SUMMER READING!

Happy Father's Day!

I know it's late but I started this Saturday night and wanted just the right words. So here it is my finish. Most people who know me never think that William is my second marriage and I am his. God placed him in my life 10 years ago, well a little longer but married for 10. He has loved me and I have loved him. But most of all he has been a great dad. Even when things get hard he is there, and let me tell you we have seen hard. But somehow in God's divine planhere we are. I could not have prayed for a better father for my children from my first marriage. He plays with them and coaches. He is there, when his schedule permits, to see them get awards and there when they are sick. He loves them for who they are and never has once tried to hurt them. He has a heart of GOLD. The day he walked into my life I knew he was the one. I will honor and love him for the rest of our God given days together. William we love you. FYI he is gone out to sea for this great day!
