this is a needle stich that my wife made for me while i was on the river in cataract canyon. it really means a lot to me. i carry it with me on every trip that i go on. the falling stars have the favorite colors of everyone in my family except me because i am in the boat far away. i love the things my wife does for me. this piece of art is a constant reminder that my wife and children are always thinking of me. every evening i see falling stars and i think of them.

missing them
clancey is out mowing the lawn. lucas is running in his soccer shoes for more traction. cedar is running around the house being her cuter self. jenny is on the phone with a friend from az who had a baby. me...i am typing on this damn computer trying to put my thoughts into words.
i work a lot during the months of march to november off and on away for long periods from my family. we are headed to az to drop my family off in flagstaff. from there my sister-in-law will take them down to gilbert. i will continue back up to fredonia to get ready for a grand canyon trip. i will be gone for atleast twelve days. ten of them on the river.
i miss my family when i am gone. i love them very much. i have the greatest job anyone could have and am glad i do what i do. but...i really do miss them. my wife is the most wonderful person and the strongest. she manages them while i go out to bring in the cash flow. i always get real sentimental when i am about to go a really long trip. it would be a lot easier if i didn'y love my family so much.

my mom
so....my mother hhmmm.....where to begin? well she is absolutely BEAUTIFUL considering her age. she took real good care of all her children and still does. my mom has a very intimidating look sometimes. i used to love it when my friends (who thought they were tough) would be terrified of my mom when she would give them her look. she is a great friend to have and everyone should know her. i am grateful to have her in my life.
this is to you mom. i know its late not only for mothers day, but in life. here it goes anyway. thanks for being my mom. thanks for your love. thanks for the continued laughs. thanks for your respect. thanks for your beauty. thanks for not ever giving up on such a hard kid to raise. thanks for your kisses and hugs. thanks for buying me sneakers even when i didn't need new ones. thanks for your sacrifices everyday. thanks for just loving me for who i am.
my mom is the quiet type until you get to know her. but when she lets her hair down watch out. my mom could stare down a lion without fear. my mom can cook better than any mother out there. my mom is a sexy lady. my mom is an honest woman. my mom can beat up your mom.
love you mom and happy late mothers day. may god bless you forever and protect you forever.
