CAIDEN'S MEDAL

THESE MEDALS ARE SO PRECIOUS, AND I'M SO GLAD THAT HE EARNS ANOTHER, FOR HE HAS SO MANY!! IT IS SUCH A WONDERFUL FEELING WATCHING HIM RECEIVE IT!!

2ND ALL-STAR GAME EO VS. MOREHOUSE

WE PLAYED HARD, BUT LOST. WE ARE OUT OF THE TOURNAMENT. SO SAD THAT IT IS OVER BUT THE MEMORIES I HAVE ARE SOO SPECIAL. IT IS SUCH AN HONOR FOR CAIDEN TO BE PART OF ALL-STARS ONCE AGAIN. I LOOK AT EVERY ENDING SEASON A NEW BEGINNING. THERE IS ALWAYS NEXT YEAR TO LOOK FORWARD TOO. WE NOW HAVE TIME FOR FAMILY ACTIVITIES!!! WE SO NEED TIME TOGETHER. I'M SO PROUD OF MY CAIDEN, YOU ARE THE BEST C-MAX!!

MY BOYS

1ST GOOD HIT

CAIDEN HAD THE FIRST GOOD HIT OF OUR 1ST GAME!! SO PROUD OF YOU C-MAX!!

MY SON....

NEVER CEASES TO AMAZE ME. HE IS A TRULY GIFTED CHILD. MY FIRSTBORN, MY TRUE LOVE. THE SON THAT EVERY MOTHER WOULD BE PROUD OF. CAIDEN IS DESTINED FOR MANY MANY GREAT THINGS. HIS HEART ALWAYS IN THE RIGHT PLACE.HE ALWAYS BRINGS OUT THE BEST IN PEOPLE, EVEN MORE ME. WHEN HE WAS BORN, MY WHOLE OUTLOOK ON LIFE CHANGED. WHEN I HELD HIM FOR THE VERY 1ST TIME, I KNEW THAT HE WAS GOING TO CHANGE MY LIFE, FOR THE BETTER. WHEN I LOOKED INTO THAT BABY'S BLUE EYES, I THOUGHT, I AM GOING TO GIVE EVERYTHING TO YOU, EVEN IF IT TAKES GIVING MY LIFE FOR YOU. THIS IS WHEN A UNDERSTOOD FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME CHRISTS LOVE FOR US. IT IS THE SAME LOVE I FELT FOR MY ONE, ONE AND ONLY SON. A LOVE THAT IS UNCONDITIONAL, A LOVE I HAVE FOR MY SON. CAIDEN'S PERSONALITY IS ONE THAT IS ALL TO UNIQUE, THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER LIKE HIM, AND THAT'S WE WAY IT SHOULD ME. HE EXCELS IN EVERYTHING HE DOES, SIMPLY BECAUSE HE PUTS HIS HEART AND SOUL INTO IT. HE IS COMPETITIVE, BUT ALLOWS DISAPPOINT BECAUSE IT BUILDS CHARACTER AND INDIVIDUALITY. HE KNOWS THAT HE CAN'T WIN ALL THE TIME, AND KNOWS THAT LIFE ISN'T FAIR. JERRY AND HAVE HAVE TRIED TO INSTILL IN OUR CHILDREN THAT WE MUST ALWAYS TRY TO BE CONTENT IN ANY SITUATION. CAIDEN SEEMS TO GRASP THIS CONCEPT PRETTY WELL. HE QUICKLY SPARES HIS OWN WANTS AND NEEDS AND WANTS WHATS BEST FOR THE "ENTIRE" FAMILY. CAIDEN HAS ALWAYS SEEM TO GRASP REALITY, AND NOT LOOK THROUGH THE ROSE COLORED GLASSES. IT IS WHAT IT IS. HE ACCEPTS PEOPLE FOR THE WAY THEY ARE , AND HE KNOWS HE CAN'T CHANGE THEM, THAT HE CAN ONLY SHOW LOVE ANS RESPECT TO THEM. HE IS A AVID READER, AND LOVES TO PLAY BASEBALL. HE IS A MEDIATOR, WHEN OUR FAMILY IS IN A TOUGH SITUATION. HE SEES ALL SIDES, DISPLAYS AN UNIQUE FAIRNESS, THAT WILL BENEFIT OUR FAMILY HAS A WHOLE. HE IS MY CAIDEN, MY WORLD, MY SON

MY DAUGHTER...

IS A MIRROR IMAGE OF ME; A IMAGE ALL TO FAMILIAR. IMAGES OF STRENGTH; SHE IS MY LITTLE GIRL WHO ALWAYS FINDS A WAY TO ENDURE TOUGH SITUATIONS. SHE SEEMS TO ALWAYS RISE ABOVE THESE SITUATIONS ONLY TO BE CONTENT WITH WHAT SHE DOES HAVE. SHE NEVER ASKS FOR ANYTHING, BUT OUR LOVE AND SUPPORT. AN IMAGE OF CONVICTION; SHE IS TRUSTWORTHY AND HONEST, AND HER HEART IS QUICKLY TWINGED IF SHE TELLS A LIE OR IF SHE SAYS SOMETHING NOT ALL TO NICE. AN IMAGE OF INDIVIDUALITY; SHE IS HER OWN PERSON, HAS HER OWN OPINIONS AND EXPECTS YOU TO CONSIDER THEM, EVEN THOUGH YOU MIGHT NOT AGREE WITH THEM. AN IMAGE OF TOGETHERNESS; SHE LOVES HER FAMILY AND ALWAYS WANTS US TOGETHER. HER LOVE FOR FAMILY TOGETHERNESS WILL GROW EVEN MORE TO HER "OWN" FAMILY. AN IMAGE OF ME; SHE IS A PRODUCT OF ME; OF MY HOPES AND DREAMS, MY LOVE, MY NEVER ENDING LOVE. THROUGH MY DAUGHTER'S EYES, I AM A HERO, BUT IN ALL HONESTY AND INTEGRITY, SHE IS MY HERO, MY FRIEND, MY DAUGTHER.
