Ryen Mathew, my first love! He's almost 4, and I wish I could tell him to slow down. To stop growing up so fast, and to maybe rewind time back to baby snuggles, no talking back, and wanting to be with mommy all the time. As much as I'd like to stop time, or go back I wouldn't trade watching him grow strong and intelligent for the world! The very moment I laid eyes on him, I knew we would be best of friends, and we've been nothing less since then. He stole my heart and made me a better person. Watching him grow has been such a complete joy. He never ceases to amaze me, and everyday I learn something new. He's so smart (maybe too smart for his own good), and has the biggest heart any kid could have. I started to wonder how I could be so young, yet have absolutely no energy then I realized how COULD I have any energy watching him go crazy all the time. He is in his own world constantly doing something :). I thought I knew love, then I had you and realized I never really loved. That unconditional love you feel comes when you have children. They steal your heart in the most outstanding ways! He makes me want to be the best I can be, and to strive harder always. He taught me how to be unselfish and how to love someone other than myself. He taught me how to laugh and smile more than I ever have before. So don't stop growing my Ry bug! You are so strong minded and kind hearted! Push yourself to be the best you can be, keep growing and learn more and more because that is the reason I live! I'm so glad I wasn't as smart as I should have been at 17 years old, because it brought me the most amazing blessing and it also taught me how to love myself and remember that I deserve the world, too.
Silas Kade Hankes! God knew what he was doing when he blessed me with you! I often wonder what I did to deserve kids who love me so much. You are so handsome and beautiful inside and out. 4 months old and you steal my heart more and more everyday. It brings so much joy to my heart watching you change and grow everyday. You are learning so fast and getting so big so quick! I can't wait to see all the things you accomplish in life. I'm loving the stage you are at right now, and it will also be so amazing to see the kind of person you will grow to be. What you will look like a year from now. You look just like your father it is the cutest thing. How did I get so lucky?? Grow up strong and courageous, follow the lord, and love like you will never love again! Show the world how amazing you are. I will never understand why God chose me to be your mother, but I'm so glad he did! <3
