Dallas Michael Wilson Rusty's Son

Well, on May 13, 2006 my son Rusty got to see his oldest son Dallas for the first time in 3 years and we got a pic of them together. He looks good considering all he has been thru. His last day of classes was Friday May19th. He had one special needs teacher that gave him an uncut decorative key when he had a good week and he was excited when he talked to Rusty on the phone this weekend as he got to bring his keys and keyring home with him. I think he had 6 or 7 keys on his ring but then he had a pretty rough time of it when they first got Dallas into classes in Warsaw after getting him out of his mothers care in January. He didn't care....he was excited cause he had keys of his OWN!!

Rusty does hope things will work out so they can go down maybe next weekend, he'd like to introduce Dallas ro his other brother and 2 sisters soon. Can't help but wonder how they will all eventually take to each other. There are six years difference in the boys ages, and both of the girls are trying to be leaders so we really wonder how this will fall together!!

I had the 3 younger kids for about 6 or 7 hours each day on Sat and Sun, while their parent tried to get some of their things moved out of Mandys mom's house. It is a long story and not a very nice one as their family thinks of no one but them selves and are litteraly kicking Rusty Mandy and the kids out on the street, so Mandy's brother can move in.....yes you read it right, her mom rented the place out from under them to her brother!!! Brie came over on Sun and helped me some with the kids so we have a few new pics and will put up one of each kid maybe tomorrow later in the day after I turm them all into jpgs and name them but for now will try to get some more sleep.

My very creative daughter....Brie

Now I can brag on my very creative daughter.....there really isn't much she hasn't tried that she hasn't accomplished in some form. It may not have finished the way she originally wanted it to, however, she has always been good about changing it into something she liked almost as good if not better. Up on occasion she has had a dud or 2 and has been frustrated for a short time but never for any length of time.

After her Advancement this year at the college and since with that advancement she recieved the benefit of free tuition, she has decided to take a few classes and work on her GPA as well as take some classes that she can just enjoy for a change.

Last week she was awarded a small cash award for one of her digital photos in a school booklet. Here is a url to that pic.

Today however, was the art show at school, I try to go every year but just didn't feel like driving myself this year so guessed I wouldn't get to see it. However, at some point in the afternoon I get a phone call from Brie, first she was checking to see if certain people had made it down to go to see the art show cause she'd had to do another job and didn't see them. The hadn't so she was releived.....then she told me she had some really great news to tell me. Okay, what's up??

Her digital manipulation picture for digital art had been bought by the school from her for $250!!! She was very squeaky excited!! The funny part was that last night or the night before we had talked and she was joking and said wouldn't it be funny if one of her enteries like her Cinderella pic got bought by the school!! Then she said something about not holding her breath as that didn't seem to be the kind they looked for......you guessed it it was her Cinderella one that one!!

It's called After the Ball, now if your computer monitor is like mine...very old the pic might be too dark, it took her several trys to get it to print out light at the school but it is gorgeous and does have several thingd like shoes and mice/rats at the bottom. I am so proud of her, she has been doing this type of work for some time now. If you click on her name, then on the page that takes you to, click on gallery, it will load some of her pictures she has on this site, then there is a spot where it says next 24 at the bottom and you can click on it and see more. You can also go into google and just put in brie alsbury and several sites will come up where you can view some of her earlier work......can you tell I'm proud of her??

Okay....bedtime....Night All

I Believe I can Fly, She's still Singing it!

Back the first of February my niece Roxanne was in a helicopter crash on a training mission with the army as she is trained to be a medivac personel. She recieved a compression fracture of the spine which was the one thing we were the most concerned of. She has been doing, and not really paitiently, office duty for sometime now to let things heal up but now we will quote Roxanne... "I finally convinced them that I am not crazy, concussed, or fractured any longer (crazy took the longest) and so am not only flying again....I am also pulling duty already." Now when you see this pic you understand why I know it is the best thing for her to be back in the copter where she wants to be!!

Now here are one or 2 of the crash and you will know why we are grateful to the Lord for His wondeful Grace!!


This is what the copter they were riding in originally looked like before crash.



This is the actual site where the copter crashed by clicking on the smaller pic you can see where the tail made an indent very deep as it was the pivot point for even when the copter flipped over on it's side.





Thank You Lord!!

What a Wonderful Day this has been!!!

Dallas Michael




Today has been a good day!! My daughter in law called early today and was so excited I almost didn't recognise who it was. "You'll never guess who I just talked to and they are willing to let us see Dallas!!" Now let me explain this.....My son was married before and had a son that we have not seen for over 3 years now. Recently we found out that he had been taken from his mothers custody, and his grandparent who had always been enemies with my son, now had him in there home and we were trying to figure out how to get a loan to fight for Dallas as he didn't even know who we were and we didn't even know where he was for sure except supposedly down in the Warsaw area of Missouri. Well, today his other grandparents called my sons current wife and told them not to spend money they didn't need to as they were not going to try for legal custody, they just wanted guardianship for now and after what we found out Dallas has been thru and how much of a difference they have made in him since he was placed in their care, we are all in agreement that he is where he needed to be for now.

His mom and her boyfriend will both spend time in prison for the things they have done for this little boy. He is 5 yrs old and was beat by his mom with a belt and her boyfriend with his hand, He was sent to his room all the time, have no idea really about how they fed him but he was undernurished to the point his eyes were sunken in and black all around they said. He told his grma that his mom poured hot sauce down his throat when he said bad words. His mom and her mom use to chase him around with the sweeper and other appliances that made noises to get him to do what they wanted.
One place they had him at said his bowels had been backed up for 2 years!!!

But he is better now, he talked to his daddy last night asked his daddy when he was coming to see him. My son told me he talked to Dallas...no he was on the phone with Dallas for about 30 min. and Dallas did most of the talking!! Don't know who is looking forward to the weekend more Dallas or my son Rusty. I know we have all tried to find him and have waited a long time for this to happen, Just can't wait till it is my turn....this Nana use to have him every weekend and he will be 6 yrs old the day before my 1st wedding anniversary. Maybe shortly after that we can see him and finally become a part of his life again
