Another Nephew!

I just got another nephew and he looks so much like both of his parents. At first I though he looked more like Cale but the next day I got a picture and he looks like both of them now. Isn't it so funny how much a baby can change in 24 hours?

Anyways, his name is Bryson Blake Hiaring. He was born on March 28th. He was 7 lb 5 oz and 19 inches long.

Isn't my nephew so cute/handsome! I can't wait to see him in the summer! Congrats again Cale and Allyssa!

Cale's Small Surprise

This morning I woke up and notice that there was a lot of messages on my phone from facebook. So I get on facebook to find out that my little brother, Cale, who is in the marines and who I've not seen since April, posted these small messages. Now recently I've been really emotional and can't help crying. Well, when I read the message for me I started crying. He's such a great kid. He's pushed through so many hard times as I did and he still remembers all of us while he is gone. I love and miss him so much. I hope to see him at the end of the year instead of next spring. 

I've posted all the messages that he left us. I hope you guys enjoy reading them!:

Mom, you mom were the one that supported me. I remember hearing you get up in the morning early as heck and getting ready for work. You did the best you could every single day you took care of us kids so well. To me it felt like you didn't ever buy yourself anything, you always put us first. You showed me even though the tiger has you by the throat that it's still not over, that you will still find a way. I hope one day mom I can afford to buy you a big house and that you can retire. A house out in the country so you can have as many patches, shilos, and hooch's as possible. I love you mom and I miss you. Don't work yourself to death.

Brad, Deng man we sure did have problems. But you taught me how to solve a problem like a man. That you don't solve every problem with your fist. You taught me a lot brad. You taught me how to build character and how to not drop a car on yourself, haha. The most memorable thing I remember of you brad is when I almost burned the crap out of your chest with the torch at work. Holy geez, I never crapped my pants so hard. But somehow, someway you didn't even have a scratch. When I come back home it'd be nice to go fishing or something. But work is the first priority. Just wanna say thanks for everything. Love you and are care.

 

Dad, you dad. You never ever gave up on me. You always were there to encourage me, to bandage up my cuts and get me back in the fight. You gave me the mentality that I could make it no matter what. Well dad you pushed me along way and you still push me to go even further today. I love you dad and I miss playing catch with you. I know you won't see this but maybe, just somehow you'll see it somewhere or it'll get sent to you. I love you dad. Thanks for always being there and taking care of me.

 

Korey, wow where to begin. You Korey, I remember when you and Tyann would come over for the weekends to spend time with us and every time it felt like Christmas. We just couldn't get enough of you two. But the most memorable thought of you was when you ate it hard on that ramp at your cousins house and skidded for eternity down the sidewalk. You almost landed a front flip but you got up like a champ, like a stallion and kept going, or actually just went in the house but still. I always looked up to you. I love you buddy and congrats on getting Married. Your gonna be a great ball and chain. Haha or is it the other way around. Take care and stay safe.

 

 Tyann, I remember when I was still just a little guy. I took the remote from you and I ran down the hall way and slammed the back door on your toe. I thought I had killed my older sister. Thinking back I wish I was a better younger brother and wish I treated you better. But for now I just wanna say that I am extremely happy for you and Logan and I know you two will start and have a beautiful family. I love you big sis and,I didn't forget about all your chocolate chip pumpkin bread that Char and myself ate. Take care and thanks for everything

 Brooke, I remember when you were really young and we went fishing at Mackey reservoir and instead of fishing you just sat there and ate the worms. Haha. When dad found out he was so mad but so cracked up he just walked away. Your gonna do great things as well Brooke. Just keep pushing and keep getting good grades. Don't let those other girls bring you down, don't let the stupid boys break your heart cause one day a man worthy of being with you will come along. I love you little sis. Take care.

Char, I remember when we were little kids and we'd beat the crap out of each other. It was constant picking on each other but what I didn't realize is that you were the best friend I had. At times I may have made it seem that I didn't care but I always wanted the best for you. I wanted you to play football, I wanted you to play a lot of sports cause I wanted to say that's my brother and be proud when I said it. You were always the underdog buddy but always could find a way to put yourself on top. You got potential buddy and I know you can do great things. I miss you brother and friend. Take care and I love you.

Cale Is In the States Again!

My little brother is back from South Korea!!! I'm so happy! I can't wait to see him again. He's hoping to come home on the 27th of this month but he has to do all these paperwork and booking his fights and what not. He said that he will call me here soon to let me know what he is planning on doing. I'll keep updating on him too. See ya next time.

Day 8 of San Diego Vacation - Cale's Graduation and Sea World

We went back to the Marine Corp Boot Camp the following day. We was only there long enough to watch Cale graduate and to help get his things ready to go. Anyways, he graduated very proud. Actually we all was very proud of him. Here's a picture of him:

 

Again, we are all very proud of him. Here are a few more pictures from the graduation nothing to much because it was kind of like the day before so there's not much to show you.

All the battalions

Battalion 1030

After the graduation, we ended to up helping get Cale's stuff so he can take off with his Dad. We had to be back to the spot where we was dropped off so we can go back to the motel. After we got back we decided to go back to Sea World so I can see the Shamu and Dolphin show again. I really didn't get to see them because I was always taking the pictures. We also went back because we missed some the last time we went. Oh...and we got some presents too. It was so much fun. I love being able to watch everything. I loved it. 

Day 7 of San Diego Vacation - Marine Corp. Boot Camp

We got up early and got ready. We wanted to get there early but unfortunately the shuttle service was very behind on schedule and we ended getting there an hour later than we wanted. When we got there, we meet up with my little's brother's dad Carl (he is not my father but we share the same mom) and his wife Sandy. We then went by where the graduation was at. All the recruits were suppose to run a mile before being released to clean up. When I saw him I cried and I could tell that his can become such a gentlemen. Again, after the mile the recruits when and cleaned up and we meet them all at the spot where they would be graduating the next day. They than had a small talk with the parents and the recruits. 

He is the first one in the back

 As soon as they released them, everyone ran to see their loved ones...including me. I was so surprised. I was crying and  I couldn't make myself stop. I missed him so much. We then when to a lunch that the LDS Church had provided (that's correct...he was still attending church while in boot camp). We sat and talk for a while about everything and everyone and what he hope to do and what he will be doing in when he went back to work for the Marines. I was so proud of him when I heard that he was was one of the highest rank recruits in his battalion. He ended up getting to rises in the last week. Anyways, while we were in the lunch, the church had a tradition.

These recruits are all of the LDS members who finished boot camp.

The generals there introduce themselves along with their rank and how long they have served in the Marines. Afterwards, they then would give a small history lesson about the church in the service of the Marines. 

This is Cale introducing himself to everyone at the lunch.

The general was cutting the cake with a marine sword...I thought that was pretty cool.

Than the general asked the recruits to state their names, ranks, where they were from and where they will be going.



















After the introduction, they ended the tradition with the cutting of the cake with a Marine's sword. Overall, it was very touching to see and learn what the church does with services.


The Marine Corp Base was an experience that I never thought I would enjoy being there....when I heard that Logan wanted to stay there while we are down there, not only did it scary me but I didn't want to end up seeing my brother everyday and cry every time I saw him. But to tell you the truth, I'm glad that I saw my little brother, Cale, graduate from boot camp. He's turn into such a gentlemen and cares so much for so many people. I think that when he got in to the marines that he thought about his family and his future family. It's not everyday that you can protect your love ones all the time from so many things. And I also notice what so many men and women do to protected their country.

An Emotional Break Down

Today at 11 o'clock Mom, Brooke, Logan and I left my little brother Cale to the Marines office so he could get transfer to San Diego for Boot Camp.

One of his Senior pictures.

  

Right now, I'm in tears. He has been through so much and as come this far. I'm always going to be worrying about him for the next 3 months. That's how long we have to wait before he comes home for his birthday. There may be a chance that he won't be sent off to Boot camp tomorrow...but most likely will since someone has already dropped out. I know...I'm such a positive thinker right now. I miss him so much even thorough we just dropped him off about an hour ago. His graduation for Boot Camp is going to be on September 9th if he leaves tomorrow. I promised him that I would go to his graduation at all cost. I would even drive the whole way by myself. However...in October, he leaves us again for 4 years. Not only will he miss birthdays (Brooke and Logan's), he will also miss Korey's homecoming. I'm so scared. I'm so worried about him getting hurt while serving...I just can't shake off the feeling. I'll be praying for him everyday and night until he comes home safely.
