Love, Tammy - 07/21/2008

Hi Mom, well we went to the casino yesterday morning. Jarrod did pretty good. He came home with 70.00 to the good. He won 50 bucks off the nickle slots. I think some of your luck rubbed off on him. He won 50 bucks on one of his first few spins. He cashed out right away then I put in a 10 and we played off of that for a good 1/2 hour. I broke even so I didn't really lose...just had fun. I thought of you the entire time and I know you would have been with us if you were here. You would have hung with Jarrod and I. I miss you so much Mom, more than words could ever say! Taylor has her oral surgery on Friday. I know you will look over her. I think we are taking Bryson with us. He doesn't go to the Dr with us very often and I am taking that day off for daycare so I really don't want to leave him home. Grama Beanie and Daddy will be there to help so he should be fine. I bought some markers (oh I know what you are thinking, you never were a marker person) and crayons...he LOVES those. I also just made some playdough (you never liked that stuff either...lol) so those too will help keep him entertained. I bought Taylor a really cute backpack at walmart,I am going to grab one for Bryson too so he can put all his stuff in it for when we go somewhere. He's getting so big Mom, talking like crazy, doing great on the potty (except for pooping....he insists on having a diaper on when he has to do that) He is still a good eater and not very picky at all. I asked him if you could hold him this morning and he said 'yes'. I really believe he still remembers you, I sure hope so. I try to keep him well aware of you Mom, I talk about you and show him your picture all the time. Jarrod was home this weekend, he went back last night for a full work week. He's doing good, I am so proud of the tattoo he got in your honor/memory. I tell everyone about it. I can't wait for him to add your initials. Well Mom, I better go check on our sleeping Sweet Tay. She is doing so much better at sleeping thru the night, I am sure she will be waking up any time now. I LOVE YOU MOM!!! ((((((HUGS))))))) *******KISSES********
