Dylan's birthday! Welcome to teenagehood!! Big 13! June 20th, 1995

Dear Dylan,
I love you, my Dylan! Sometime I wonder where you came from? You are too good! You remind me of a good mix of my Dad, my brother Gary and ofcourse, your Dad! You have always had an old soul! You are so kind and considerate to others! You are a great student! YOu are a great leader! I love how you stand tall and won't back down! YOu love your siblings....even though you pick on them....but thats' what a big brother is suppose to do! YOu are very responsible! I have really never had to doubt you! People ask what I have done.......nothing? YOu came that way? YOu take good care of me....you can read me! I love it when you hug me, pinch my chubby arms and give me Eskimo kisses! You stand taller than me now.....where has time gone? I remember when you were born...all you wanted to do was eat every two hours! You were a pig! Big baby, 8lbs 7 ounces! Good baby though! I just had very sore "fluffs"! Ouchhh! You grew into a sweet little dude! Always had to have your blankie and baba! That blankie was silky like my undies. You rubbed it to shreds! You always had to have a ball cap on too! YOu loved Daddy and uncles! You loved to go to Grandpa's farm! I remember when Grandma Rose said "he is all boy!" When we moved to Spokane you were three and wore your Spiderman suit every day and night until it rotted off of you! YOu always played superheros of some sort! A funny thing about you.....When you got nervous you threw up! I remember the first day of kindergarten......couldn't eat breakfast...but I taught you the breathing trick! Didn't you just get over the throwing up thing just last year! Thank goodness there were trash cans at middle school! Just kidding! Now, you hold the priesthood....what an honor! I am proud of you! Stay strong and worthy!
I love you, my Dylan....I am so glad you are mine! I am the lucky one! Happy Birthday!
Love, Mom
My moms' birthday! June 23rd, 19.. and
Mom and Dad were married June 25th, 1965 SLC Temple
Dear Mom,
You are almost done with your mission! You can do it! I know this is wearing you and Dad out...but the Lord will bless you, for building up His kingdom! I am so proud of you! You have been great on this mission! Everytime I call the mission office you sound so professional! You have been a great representative for His church!
You know why I gave Katlyn her name? Because I remember when I was a child and I asked if you had a nickname as a child? You told me your Dad called you "Katie"! I loved that name and wanted to name my girl,"Katie"!!! The great thing about naming her Katlyn...her nickname is "Katie"....and the amazing thing is she looks and acts like you! I can't be close to you....but I can have a reminder everyday.
I love you and hope that my Katie will be like you. You are a strong woman. In everything you do and say. Your mother did a great job at teaching you how to live in the crazy world we live in. You taught me that too. Katie and I share the same looking hands. You and I share the same looking hands. You and your mother share the same looking hands. We all can look at our hands and know that we all have someone that cares for each other....US! And, we can all hope that our hands are doing good!
I Love you Mom!
Love, Kris
Our anniversary....June 24th, 1994 SLC Temple
Dear Shane,
Ahhhh, what a life, I have had with you! I found my true love! And that is you!! I am glad we have made it these last 14 years! It has been wonderful! You know, marriage is what you make of it! We have had our differences....except, no one has ever had a black eye, slept on the couch, or left to mom's!!! We have ironed out our differences and have made it through 14 years of triumphs and tears! In fact, I am proud of us for doing it by ourselves! It helps, when we honor our covenants and you honor your priesthood! We both went to college, you got your own job and we bought our own house! We have never lived by family! Couldn't rely on Grandma or Grandpa! We have done it all....with each other! We have had great ward families and friends that have shared our 14 years of memories! Recently you have reminded me what a great cook you are! Sometimes you cook more than me in a week! I will let you, too! Thanks honey.....I still don't cook the rice all the way through! You are so patient with me, while I am always helping others and working! We have created three wonderful children! You are a great father! You teach these kids great skills of life! I couldn't have asked for more! I look forward to lots more years together of love and laughter and tears! You are still my tall,dark,handsome cowboy from Scipio! I love you! Let's meet in Montana sometime soon!
Love, Tritan
