Jared, Jared, Jared...

clint knows how to have fun

clint was caught in the middle of a flip into the pool...good shot i thought...he is not afraid to live life.

Jared

Jared -- last fall -- trying everything -- heart hurting -- learning too many things at once. My son, so faithful, so strong, so determined.
He gives and gives and gives some more ----
some of us need to give more to him.
He was there to wipe my tears away -- a task no 2 year old should have needed to do. Oh, God, let him know how much I love him and cherish him. I tell him and try to show him -- but may he always know it way deep down inside....
He wants to be hard -- and he appears to be -- very fit and strong...tough approach to life...
but may he never totally lose his sweet innocence -- his softness -- his compassion.

Logee

Logan is a doll. He has beautiful baby blue eyes -- he is very tall and muscular but is like a cuddly bear. He has a sensitive heart.
Logan Miles, full of smiles... I love him so. Lord, God, protect him from the traps out there. Protect him please.

My oldest son, Clint and his friend Zach "Shoobs" --- watching Logan's track meet.
Shoobs is planning to join the Air Force. He's 21.
Clint is planning to move to Kansas in August. He's 21 also.
Clint is my prince -- first-born --
I just wish he truly understood his value....
to me, his family, his friends, his Creator and Redeemer....I wish he valued himself-- his life -- more.
I love him so much.

my son, JAKE

JAKE in his leather jacket, monty python t-shirt....that first night in Kansas...Olathe.....on our way to Chili's....my youngest son.....not quite grown up ---- but beyond the little boy....
