Lost our Sweet Dooley today!!

This morning after taking Drew to school, Tony came home to find Dooley had been hit by a car and had to take him to the vet where they said nothing could be done for him. Tony had to make that decision we all dread to have him put down. We will miss him so much but, none will miss him I think as much as our Sweet Drew!! Dooley was always so close by when the kiddos were outside playing. He was always with Tony, whether he was working in the barn or somewhere on the property. He was a great guard dog!!

I will always remember that shy acting little dog! When you called him he came wagging his nub of a tail and almost crawled towards you.

WE LOVE YOU AND WILL MISS YOU DOOLEY!!!! (DODO, DOODY)

I guess I am back in the cake business!

Back before Tony and I married, Grandmama and I went to McGavock and took a cake decorating class!! When Darryl and Derek were little I made all their birthday cakes. Then Mom took classes and she made all the kids their cakes. This past March, she has been gone 12 years and we miss her dearly and her cakes. She did the best job and the kids always were excited over the ones she made for them. Last year Tiff decided we would make Makyna's cake and of course we could not go without making sweet Drew one this year. I had forgotten how much better the icing taste on the homemade ones, not to mention it is so much cheaper! With that said I guess I am back to making cakes again and actually I am enjoying it!

YUM YUM!!

A Bitter - Sweet Day!!

Bitter - because we will miss our Little Minnie!!

Sweet - because she has been a loyal guard dog for almost 14 years and she went in her sleep!!

She was a true protector of our family and home and was loved by the whole family!!

Thank you girl for always meeting me at the back door!!

So Cute!!

The night before Derek's first shift, he was in the living room getting all his gear together for work the next day and Drew decided he needed to try it all on. So Cute!! I have a picture of Darryl somewhere with Tony's fire helmet and coat on I need to scann and compare them!!

Miss Makyna was not going to be left out of this picture, she is a little mess!!

She always either has a book or a baby doll in her hand!!

MEMORIES!

HE DID IT!! WE ARE SO PROUD!!

I am so proud of Derek!

After completing 22 weeks of getting up every day and leaving the house at 5:15 and not getting back in some days till 5:30 or later, he is now officially an IV certified EMT!

On Friday, he graduated from the NFD Academy! He is #3 to be on the Fire Department!

I have watched him grow over the past 22 weeks into a strong, confident, happy young man!!

I knew the Lord had his hands on him and had something special for him in his life and for all this I give the Lord the Glory!

Waiting to graduate!!
