Always & Forever My Girl

     July 16th 2009 changed my life forever. It's hard for me to fathom that God would bless me with someone so wonderful. Kaleigh came into this world with a dramatic entry, naturally. Knowing her personality now, it seems fitting. Those 28 hours of pain and agony have made me a much stronger person than I ever thought possible. Every day she teaches me something about myself that I need to change. This moment for me will forever remain bittersweet. I've never been more thankful for someone in my life, she is my greatest accomplishment.

Kaleigh,

You will never understand what you truly mean to me. 

You make me want to be a better person, you make me stronger, happier and more patient than I ever thought possible. I wish I could put into words how much you have changed my perception of life. You push me to do things I didn't think I could do. I stand in amazement of you each and every day. You are blossoming into the most beautiful little girl. You have a bigger heart than most adults I know. One day, you will get to read this and I hope you know how much I love you and how I would do anything to make you happy...Always & Forever.

Happy Third Birthday Princess!!!

The Big Three..

Kaleigh is turning THREE on July 16th!!

Wow, can you believe it? It feels like just yesterday we were bringing her home from the hospital. Now she is three going on thirteen. :) We celebrated over the weekend at Adventure Fun Dome in Prestonsburg with our closest family and friends. Kaleigh had a BLAST with her cousins. She played her little heart out. I want to say thank you to Brian and DiAnne for renting the venue and working so hard on the fabulous treats! They are so incredible, I'm lucky to have both of them. I also want to thank everyone who came and brought her such lovely presents. It means so much to me that people care so much about my little girl. She is very lucky to have all of you in her life. Below are some pictures of her special day for those of you who wanted to be there but couldn't....Enjoy ;)

LOVE YOU ALL!!

To the Hero's of my World.

On Sunday we celebrate all the special men in our lives, our Daddy's! There truly aren't enough words to explain the love I feel for my dad, my father in law, my brother(s) and of course my husband. Each of them hold a special place in my heart...In honor of all the HERO'S in my life, I would like to take some time to tell each of them how much they mean to me.

My Husband.

You have given me the most amazing gift, our gorgeous daughter. I look at her every day and see you. Her sense of humor, laughter, free spirit, her beautiful blonde hair and blue eyes, the loud noises she makes at random, her constant singing and dancing, her ability to make me smile when I'm sad, all of which you gave to her. She has everything amazing about her that made me fall in love with you. I could never express the joy I have seeing the two of you together laughing and playing. She deserves nothing but the best and that's exactly what you give to her. I'm looking forward to the years a head of us and watching your relationship with her grow. You will always be her "boy", for the rest of her life. I love you for everything you do and have done.


My Daddy

From the time I was a little girl I always looked up to you in amazement. I knew you would protect me, provide for me and love me no matter what.You have a way of lighting up a room with just a smile and I always hoped for your sense of humor. When I was young, I felt so safe knowing you wouldn't let anyone hurt me. It was always so much easier falling asleep when I knew you were in the house. You worked so hard to give us everything we wanted, even if it seemed unreasonable. I remember being a young girl anxiously waiting for you to take me on the motorcycle or four-wheeler. I was honestly terrified most of the time but I knew you wouldn't do anything to put me in harm. I trusted you then and I always will. Your the one person I have been able to count on constantly throughout my life. I hope you know how much you mean to me and how thankful I am for everything you have done to make me the person I am today.

You have been such a great pa-paw to Kaleigh. She loves being around you and asks about you constantly. Her little face lights up when she shows off her picture of the two of you in her room on your bike. Every time she hears a motorcycle she starts yelling for you. You have made such an impact on her life already and she loves you so much.

I love you more than anything and I wish I could spend Father's Day with you!



My Second Dad, Brian

From the time I first met you I knew you were a special person. I have never met a man so completely dedicated to his family and their happiness. You're so full of faith and love it truly spills over to the people around you. You give so much to your family and expect nothing in return. I'm so thankful for the example you set for Brentton and all the values you instilled in him. He is a better person and father because of you. I admire your commitment to God and your caring nature. I'll never be able to thank you enough for everything you have done for Brentton and I. Last but not least, I want to thank you for being the most amazing Pa-B to our baby. You treat her like a little princess and she loves you for it. I know you will always be there for her, always. I'm so proud to be a part of your wonderful family. I love you!!


My Brother, Marc

I can't even believe I can say that you are a Father. It seems like yesterday we were causing havoc stealing pop and beer cans to throw on the ground, setting the chicken coup on fire, "running" away to the neighbors house, being incredibly mean to poor Jake when he was a baby, sleeping in those awful white metal bunk beds..(yes I went there), going camping and fighting like crazy. Now that your a daddy, I know that you will show Payton how to be an incredible man. I love you so much and I miss you every single day! Happy Father's Day Bub :)

My Brother, Jacob

You are not a father yet (keep it that way for a LONG, LONG TIME) but one day you will be the BEST!! I just wanted to say I love you too and thank you for being a great uncle.. :)
  


Happy Father's Day to My Hero's!!!  


A SPECIAL SHOUT OUT to; Herb LeMaster,Greg Adkins, Steve Tackett, Morgan Campbell,Brian Jefferson, My wonderful Pa-Paw Rudy who will never see this but I still love him immensely ;). All of you men are fantastic father's and I am so proud to know each and every one of you.  


Love, Kacee
