It has been a long time since i have posted  .  i apologize.  i will try and bring you up to date and be better about posting more frequently.
      i will take you back a bit.  2 years ago November 18,2011 was the day my sweet mother left this earth and became one of Gods.  She was the best mom and was just a warm and wonderful human being. She loved people and it didn't matter if they were family or not.   She had the capacity to love all and she taught us all to do the same.  She passed away from Pulminary Fibrosis.  Bless you mom I miss you terribly and wish we could see you again. So until that time comes again i will remember all the things you taught me and the things you used to say.  Love you more!!!


My dad met a gal named Lora Steele and married her this past july 20th.    She is very nice and takes very good care of my dad.  It is still strange to see her in my moms house.


Our family continues to grow.  This past year James and Amanda had a son named Wyatt Alexander He was born on Mayy 29,2013. 8.5 lbs.  He looks judt like his daddy did. what a sweetie.

Johnny  and  Courtney are getting married in September  and they welcomed into their family Carson Bentley Valentino Born on September 13 and yes it was friday the 13th.  He weighed in at 6lbs 14 oz.  He also looked just like his daddy.

Rachel Xin Yang Chew was born on October 25,2013.  She joins the Chew family and brother Joshua, sisters Hannah and Abigail, andd brother Jeremiah.

We are very proud to be the grand parents of a total of 9 beautiful grand kids.

Hope graduated a year early in June .  we are very proud of her.  She has to have yet another surgery in December.  She will have double jaw surgery and Tongue advancement.  Recovery is hard and long but will be worth it to get her off her CPAP machine and open up her airway passage.
She is not looking forward to this one.  and i cant say i blame her  she has had 17 surgeries to date and we thought we were done with them.  But ..No...
