And of course we would choose the day that KC gets hammered in 6” of snow but we still had a blast.

Kansas City Dec 15th, 2019
What says nothing but time like heading to KC for a night right before Christmas. One thing about our crew is we truly try to soak up those rare moments when is or our kiddos aren’t doing something(and those moments are truly rare and special).
Turks and Caicos
We’ve actually now been to Turks and Caicos twice and can honestly say it’s one of the most beautiful places on earth. We have been fortunate enough to go both times with our dear friends and neighbors the Meyers. We absolutely had a blast and look forward you going back.

It’s been awhile
I came back across this blog Mila started forever ago and to say it brought back memories is a huge understatement. I want to just post some new pictures of the kiddos so don’t think they went missing for about 8 years or so 🤪. Blessed to have this crew and call them all mine. Mila and I will try to actually update this more often so we don’t forget all the memories. Parker is now 14, presley is 11 almost 12 and Paige is the big 10.

Mila
Mila,
Today is not a "special" day, but I wanted to make sure to write something for each of you so that when days are tough (like what you are going through now) you can look back to this and hopefully it will bring a little joy to your heart.
Since the day we where married we have spent 3,846 days together, I count them all, because good or bad days, they are spent with you. I wish I had some great words to tell you how blessed and honored I am that 3,846 days ago today you said I do. Your heart I take with me everyday and will forever continue to do that. I love you so much and with all I have, I honestly hold nothing back.
Right now your heart is broken and mine breaks with you. I know you loved your dad so much that you didn't even realize how much till he was gone. I know you are trying to grieve and be there for your mom and sister at the same time and I am so sorry. I wish there was a magic wand I could wave and make it all better. I have little to offer, but myself. I will be here every step of the way for you and your mom, that was a promise I made and one that I will forever keep.
You changed my life in so many ways for the better. I have never loved deeper, laughed harder, cried uglier, then I do with you. We have talked several times over the past 2 weeks about how we where meant to be together. I love hanging out with you, I love harassing you and having you bust my chops right back. I have fun with you, I love learning about you, I love going places and doing things with you. You are the half that truly does make me whole, and I thank God for you everyday.
I love you being the mother to our kids. The good days and the bad. You make our kids feel safe. You make their life a party like it should be. We have learned to quickly that life is fleeting. Thank you for spoiling our kids and making them rotten despite what I some times say. Thank you for teaching them Love, Respect, Kindness, Compassion and how to get schooled in basketball. Thank you for letting our little girls dress you up like a real live doll and then leaving on the gorgeous makeup all day for them. Thank you for being the greatest mom in the world, our kids have no idea how lucky they are.
Thank you for loving me despite my many shortcomings. Thank you for always allowing me to chase my dreams. Thank you for letting me be me, but nothing when to step in and let me know when I am not. Thank you for trusting me and following me through life. Thank you for trusting that I seek God first to lead our family and not questioning that. Thank you for being my biggest fan and best friend. I know a lot of people wonder what will happen when the kids are gone with their relationship, but I am here to tell you there is a big part of me that can't wait! I love you so much Mila and I hope today you know that even a little more! Thank you for the past 3,846 days.
I love you

My son
Duke man,
It is hard to even begin writing anything to you with choking up. I am honored to be your daddy. I count myself as the luckiest dad in the whole world to get to have you in my life. As I sit and watch you grow up in to a man, my heart breaks because I know all to soon you will move on from the life I know. You amaze me little man. Your heart is so good, your personality amazing, your talents outstanding, your love unconditional. How many mistakes I am certain I have made with you over these past 8 and a half years, yet you love me just the same.
Thank you for letting me coach you, teach you, play with you, just hang out with you. I hope and pray that I raise you how God called me too. I know some times it must seem as I am being hard on you, but trust me son there is no bigger fan of yours then me. I see how you look up to me and to be honest it freaks me out and I truly don't feel worthy enough.
I love you like the girls and your mommy from a place so deep that it truly hurts. I get nervous every-time your gone, like the day you where born. I catch myself looking at old pictures and you and I where never apart. We have shared so many memories during this 8 year world wind. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for letting me be your daddy. Thank you for letting me be your friend. I know there will come a day when I am not cool, or my advice is not good or right, but I pray those days are short and these days now are long.
I love watching you play ball (any ball), I love coaching you, mentoring you, simply being with you. Your drive and passion is contagious. Your will to win and work for endless hours to be prepared is amazing at such a young age. I love how you love your sisters and look after them, I love how you love your mommy (never change that) she wants and needs that from you.
I pray for your future wife, I pray she is Godly. I pray she understands the man she is getting and I pray she encourages you, helps you, is there for you and trust you to lead your family in a Godly way. I pray all your dreams you have today become reality. You are nothing short of amazing my little man.
Trust God in all you do, the good times and bad, remember the lessons you have been taught and will be taught. Do the right thing when no one is looking, be honest, be humble, be fierce and never, ever say I can't. Give 110% always, nothing less. Be diligent, hardworking, never quit and when you get knocked down son, just look up because I will be right there beside you helping you back up, now and forever!!
