The Vineyard

This past week we went to a family reunion for 3 days. It was Robert D. 's grandma (Mrs. Jones) sisters & brothers family. We stayed at a Baptist retreat camp in Coffee County, AL. The kids had alot of fun. Trey met lots of cousins and had a blast playing with them. We went fishing, played kickball, volleyball, and even went canoeing.

Happy Birthday Aunt Cyndi

Cyndi would of absolutely adore her party today!! The kids got to ride the gator down to Cyndi's Peace from Honey's house. Once there they played and laughed which is what Cyndi would of wanted instead of tears & sadness. She loved babies & she liked to watch kids play & I know that she was smiling down while she watched ALL her nieces & nephews play, sing happy birthday to her & eat cupcakes & ice cream! Family is such a wonderful gift that God has given to us & I am so grateful for mine. I love you all!

The kids loved playing with all the "animals" at the cemetary.

Birthday Wishes

Hey Cyndi,
I can't believe that you would of been 31. It doesn't seem possible because the more birthdays that come around just remind me that you aren't here. How I wish that you could be here to celebrate your day but I know you wouldn't want to be anywhere else than where you are.

A few days ago momma was telling Trey that your birthday was coming up and he got so excited but quickly remembered. He told her, " she's in heaven, nanny." So momma told Trey that we could let some balloons go at Cyndi's Peace and you could get them in heaven. But being the ever so loving nephew that he is, he has decided that he is going to write you a letter & even buy you a game to put in the balloon so you will get a birthday card & present in heaven. He loves his Aunt Cyndi so much & I try to tell him & the girls all about you but it is so hard. I thought that after almost 11years without you, it would easier but it is NOT! I still miss you more than words can say. Happy Birthday Cyndi !
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!

love,
Baby
