Spradley Family Updates

Here are a few pictures of the ongoings at our home! This year is flying by. Spencer is enjoying school, Sawyer is crazy as ever and Saxon is growing like a weed. We attempted baby food with Saxon yesterday. For the most part I think he liked it. The pictures are "HILARIOUS!" Thanks Leslie for being my photographer....boy did she get some good shots. ENJOY!

Sullivan's 9th Birthday



Today we celebrated Sullivan's 9th birthday with a balloon release, lunch and a cake. It was a small family event. We began our day by taking a floral cake to the cemetery and the roadside. Then home to prepare for lunch and balloon release. We released balloons at 1:44pm, which is the time of Sullivan's birth. We have always done something special at the time of our children's birth. For his first birthday, he and I were headed to the doctor for his check up and we pulled over to the side of the interstate to video him for a minute. Small things like this mean a great deal now.

If your children don't realize how important they are to you, make it a point to let them know...no matter how old or young. Always tell them how much you love them! A bond between a parent and child is something that is unbreakable. Boys hold a special place in mom's heart, and will always by my little boys! :)

Sullivan

Sullivan's 9th birthday is Saturday, so I decided to blog about it a few days before. Although we are SOOO busy with school, church, babies and life in general, we still miss Sullivan everyday. We miss his smile and laughter, his loving personality and most of all his hugs and kisses. We feel his spirit with us and we know we will be an eternal family one day, but sometimes that doesn't seem to ease the pain. Our days are a little (fraction) easier now, but we still miss everything about him. We sometimes pull out an old video to watch just to hear his voice (with his sweet little lisp) and see his smiling face. We have planned something special for his birthday at the time of his birth and will post about it at a later time. Please pray for our family and loved ones who are coping with Sullivan's loss. We will forever miss him and our love will continue to grow day by day! Until our reunion day ~ WE LOVE YOU SULLIVAN!!

Veteran's Day Parade

Michael marched in the Veteran's Day Parade today downtown. Joey Conte is on the end carrying the gun and Michael is next to him carrying the Lugoff-Elgin white flag. Being at the parade made me proud to have the frredom we enjoy day to day. God Bless the USA ~ who knows what the future holds.


Happy Veteran's Day

Here is an "oldie" but a goodie. This is a picture of my veteran after he graduated from Basic Training at Fort Jackson in 1990. Has it really been 18 years??? Oh how time does fly. Tim went on to AIT in El Paso, Texas and then to Iraq to fight in Desert Storm. He safely returned home just before I graduated from high school. I love you Tim !!!

Happy Veteran's Day!
Thanks to all of our service men and women who fight for our freedom!
