    Hendrix! I’m so proud of you. For everything. You are an amazing brother. The best brother actually. But outside of being a brother, you are such an incredible person. Not everyone is so blessed with having such a person in their life, but I am. We are so incredibly blessed to have you. See you soon! Love you!

      Hi Hendrix! It was so fun watching you on Facebook live. Sure wish I could’ve seen you ride the horse. FB live was stopped right when you got on yankee. Was it a good horse? Boy or girl horse? Chasey thinks you’ll like riding and taking care of the horses. It made me think of Red Dead II…all the different kinds.

      The house feels empty without you here. I’m sleeping in your bed while you’re gone with the LED’s off!

      Are you having fun yet? Have you made a friend yet? You and Cooper probably have things in common? Your siblings are all excited for you. Can’t wait to see you again. I love you so much. Sure hope I hear from you. 🥰

    Not sure if you get to respond but I hope you had fun riding horses! Of course you got Yankee. I loved getting to watch you ride. I always loved riding when I could. I’m excited to hear all about it.

    Hey Big Man! Got your first full day out of the way. Hope you settling in and having fun. I hope this journey brings you closer to God and strengthens your bond with him, and all other things will follow and become stronger as well. Speaking of strength,…..be honest, you could have pushed that bail of hat yourself😉, couldn’t you? We missed you over the weekend. Be a leader, be Benny, be as Christ like as you can, it all stands to be the same, do your best and great things will happen. love you

    Hey, Sweet Boy! I hope you are enjoying camp. I saw where you were working in the barn with a beautiful horse…they are majestic animals and they are so therapeutic. You are constantly in my prayers. They have the ability to get in touch with your emotions. Just brushing our horses use to soothe my soul.

    I pray the Lord strengthens your faith in Him, draws you near to Him, and gives His angels charge over you to keep you in all your ways. I love you more than you will ever know.

    Love forever,
    Mimsy

    HAPPY 14th BIRTHDAY, HENDRIX, MY 1st GRANDSON!
    I am so thankful you were born! You have richly blessed my life for 14 years with pride & joy as I watched you grow into the polite, kind, sweet, loving, young boy you are.

    Proverbs 17:6 sums up how your life has blessed mine: “Children’s children are a crown to the aged…” Grandchildren are a blessing from above and I thank God for your life everyday.

    Have a WONDERFULLY BLESSED day and I pray you grow closer to God with each step you take. I love you bunches, miss you terribly, and I hope to see you soon. Hugs & kisses!

    Love,

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY HENDRIX!!

    I hope you’re having a good time there and learning a lot of new things. I’m incredibly proud of you and can’t wait to hear all about your experience. Try not to win alllllll the things, save some prizes for another camper 😁.

    I’ll annoy your mom for you while you’re gone. I’m already pretty good at it.

    I love and miss you very much.

    Love, Aunt Jeni

      Yankees 2 games up in the AL east
      Astros are leading in the west
      And CAN YOU BELIEVE IT,
      The Tigers at 10 games ahead in the Central Division!!

      The. It’s the METS, Cubs and Dodgers in the National league.

      Judge is leading in batting avg and battling with Raleigh and Ohtani for home run leader in the middle with 27,26,25.

      Yankees C.Rodon leads in wins and skenes with a 1.78 era(crazy good in this era)

      Proud of you in your walk with God. Be proud of that too. Love you and miss you!

    HEEENRIX! Happy birthday sweet boy. I wish I got to celebrate with you today. I missed your live this morning! It started at 7:30 my time I had no idea they would start that early. I’ll have to make it up to you when you get here. I can’t believe you are 14. That’s a bit too old for my liking. I’m so blessed to have a brother like you. I’ll spare the doting. At least until I can bother you with it in person. Have a wonderful day! I love you too too much!

    Hey sweet boy. Just getting home from work and was thinking about you. Sure wish you were here so that I could sleep with you without the LED lights on! I tell you what, I’d even sleep with them on. Jacob and Gary messaged you happy birthday on this, but it doesn’t show up. I hope you had a really good day. Everyone misses you. Everyone loves you. See you soon.!

    Hi sweet boy. I am on my way to work. We were supposed to have a live today and for some reason it didn’t happen. I waited for an hour and a half, staring at my phone and then I saw pictures uploaded that y’all had started on the trail. You didn’t look as happy as you have in the days prior. It’s gonna be great. It’s gonna feel so good when you’ve completed it. I sure miss you. Only a few more days until I get to see you again. We love you so much. I’m pretty sure you know that.

    Love, mom

    I love you big man. Can’t wait to have you back. I hope you got a great chance to take some of Gods good word and experience his creation closer. Hopefully, knowing you and the greatness you bring, you were able to share with others. Leave every place and everyone better than before. I hope you made great memories. I love you
