Happy 29th Birthday Justin

I am scrambling trying to find a picture of Justin. Here is one with him and Chelsey at Jason's wedding almost 2 yrs ago.
I was 11 when Justin was born 3-4-1980. Sort of funny how the numbers work out. I was 11 when Justin was born and 15 when Jason was born. When Chase was born in 1995, Justin was 15 and Jason was 11. When Lola was expecting Justin, I think it was always a given that he was a boy. We didn't know, they didn't do ultrasounds much then. Dad called him J.W. which stood for Justin Wayne, which as we all know, was what he was named. Funny thing though, he was never called that. Dad ended up calling him Juddy Wayne, or his little Juddy Buddy, and then, as he got older, it just got shortened to Jud. Funny thing how nicknames start and stick. Family and friends alike all call Justin by his nickname, Jud. I was never prouder than the day I learned I had a brother, and then 4 years later was blessed with another, Jason. Granted, I was out of the house when the boys were only 8 and 4, but staying close allowed me to be around them alot and I hardly missed a ballgame or a cattle show. I hope they know how much a love them and how proud I am for all they have accomplished.



Can you feel the love here???? They were supposed to be dancing together as they were both Jr. Bridesmaid and Jr. Groomsman.....they both were out there under protest!!!!!!!!!!!
