Dancing Machine, watch me get down!

Jax is really into Matts ringtone, and every time it plays he goes crazy, which provides endless entertainment for us. So watch if you promise to ignore the bad video and the mess in the background and just concentrate on our dancing machine:)

We will miss you Grandpa


We've had a tough week dealing with the loss of Matt's grandpa. And although he's gone, as Matt's dad said so well, he will live on as long as Matt's around. His laughter was contagious, his love for his family was evident, and he always spoke his mind. You could always count on him to entertain you with a good story, which you couldn't help but laugh at, even if it was the 3rd or 4th time you heard it. He was one of Matt's biggest supporters in life and one of the main reasons we moved back to Kentucky. He was a WWII Navy Vet, who lied about his age to serve his country, and was there when they raised the flag at Iwo Jima. He was a great farmer, who taught Matt that farming was a lifestyle not just a hobby or a job. He helped mold Matt into the man he is today and will forever be Matt's hero. But most of all he leaves behind a legacy of pride, strength, and faith in God and family, that can only be summed up in one word...MINTON.
