Dedicaterd to our Katie Girl

Daddy's Katie Puppy

2006-2011

Kattie left us with a big whole in our lives, in its place we fill it with wonderful memories.

Yes, the kids have taken their nets for fishing and are using them to have a sword fight.

Kattie thought this was great fun.

Are we going in the boat huh, huh, huh, are we going in the boat now,

I just love going in the boat...

Dad is in the boat I just know we are getting ready to go for a boat ride.

I knew it!

I'm going to be the best dog cause I love to go for a boat ride.

I'm ignoring Lawre.

I'm a good dog going for a boat ride.

I don't see you Lawre.

You are going to get in trouble.

Not Me!

So Grammy I think I'll go over here and check out the volley ball game.

Squirrel, Oh, I know your up there and I'm going to get you.

I see you!

Family trip. Giving Mary a walk to stretch her legs.

Making sure Mary does her school work.

Then we can all go out and play.

Kattie could tell time and knew when it was 3:00pm, time for the kids to be done with school.

Krissy goes to Katties bed and says "were Kattie? Kattie bed". She loved to take the food out of the dog dish and hand feed it to Kattie.

We miss and love you our Kattie Girl.

There is joy, joy, joy, joy, down in my heart.

There is joy, joy, joy, joy, down in my heart.

Joy and peace go hand in hand. I have to work at it as I am at war with the one who would love nothing else then for me to give in to havoc and upheaval. I have so many things to be thankful for, all of my wonderful children and the blessings each one gives to me. Randa is a rock and in a storm there is nothing that will move her. David has been absent a lot and I miss him. Being in Florida and when Dad's not there having to be responsible for the job. I'm so thankful for him being there and taking that responsibility so Dad can be home some. James is my go for man. Milk and bread, peanut butter and jelly, don't for get the ice cream. Oh yeah, also make a dump run. What would I do without him? Mary is everything I need in the house. Its another me running around getting what needs done done. Stephen has grown up physically and believe it or not emotionally. He is getting softer and when we talk to him its like he really listens and is trying so hard to please us. Aaron's school work has come so far this year. This boy works like crazy to accomplish simple task that most children catch onto easy Aaron has to but his full effort into and it has paid off for him. Sarah is our song in the house. She sings her love to all of us every day. The sweet songs of joyful love surround her and everyone in her midst. Daniel has strengths that I don't have. I can't begin to tell what I have seen this child endure with patience. I had an operation and I was so miserable and I made others miserable also. But not Daniel he went through it all like a pillar. Lawre plays hard, sleeps hard and loves hard. If you get a hug from him you know you have been hugged. Krissy is the baby and I thank God everyday for giving us this sweet little baby girl. She gives the family a smile and we all smile back. Thank you Jesus for being our pivot that we all revolve around and that you are in control of every aspect of our lives. I thank you for a loving husband. We have one of the strongest marriages I know and it has been tested and has passed stronger then ever. Challenges with victory through Christ. Not any thing I have done but all of you. For the last few months LeAnne has been here helping me with so much more then just the kids school work. I'm so thankful for all she does with love and grace for all of us. Under her teaching the children have moved forward with leaps and bounds. Thank you Jesus.
