Zoo Trip with Avery's Class.

Is this picture not the cutest thing? It was Great, all of the animals were out today.

Avery and His friend Cortnee

Grace, Cortnee and Avery

Grace and the Puma. (she blew her whistle and it woke up and looked at her like she was lunch.

(Drowned Rat ) and Brady.

David and I took Grace and Brady with us to Chaperone Avery's class trip to the Zoo ( we will be going again next Friday with Abby's class ) It was Beautiful weather for most of it. about half an hour before we were to meet up with all of the other groups it started pouring. We all went home with soggy shoes and looking like drowned rats but we really had a great time.

This was Brady's 1st trip to the Zoo, we have a membership so we will be spending a lot of time there I'm sure. Grace loved it to of course ( she loves all creatures and would kiss a snake if I'd let her ) she walked a little bit but It really takes a lot out of her so when we got to the car she was out like a lite!

I have realized that although there are things in Life that I can control, There are so very many that I can not.



This Blog was originally intended to vent my feelings in what ever rational or irrational way that it came out. It was an outlet in which I could express and share things in my life with those who cared about me and things I was experiencing. I don't go back and edit my entry's so it pleases everyone, that can never happen and it would defeat the whole purpose of spontaneous feelings at the time that they are felt.



LISTEN PEOPLE if you want to take what I write and make it something more, then that is out of my control. I am just a Person living life the best way I know how and you can take me or leave me but I Am who I am.
and I'm way to old to change that now.

Well, the Easter bunny made his stop at our house as usual, finding the baskets and the egg hunt was a bit more challenging this year for Grace since she can't stand or walk but you would never know it as happy as she is all of the time. I just wish I could just let it all go and not stress about it or worry about when she will be back to normal and if there will be any long term damage but I admit, I'm nervous.

Brady even got his own basket as well minus the candy, and He was very happy to just try and eat the Easter grass inside it. LOL

Avery found out he is on the Dodgers baseball team this year ( kid pitch )

we are very excited and can't wait to cheer him on.

GO DODGERS!

THAT'S IT, NOTHING MORE EXCITING TO SHARE.

Cast is off! / Easter Bunny.

The calm before the storm.

This was much scarier then we all thought it would be.

Yeah! LEGS

Grace was in heaven, ( she could not sit up on her own )

I had to keep her from sliding down into the water.

We went today 4/10/09 and got pictures with the Easter Bunny.

*** Grace still can't walk or put any weight on her legs and they look like little baby legs. She can stretch them out straight and bend them just a little bit. We are looking at hopefully 2 or 3 months of limping ( as soon as she starts bearing weight on them. right now she has one leg a quarter inch shorter but when there is a injured bone the blood supply in that area is higher and it will grow a bit faster to compensate, so it should all be fine within 12 mths.

Thank you to all that cared about Gracie . We had friends and family that really were incredible to us and we will never forget the people that were here for us when we really needed them. This was an amazing realization for me, The people that said they would always be there didn't give my baby girl a second thought. The people I never expected to be there showed so much love and kindness like we were a part of there family. These same people had so much going on and are dealing with a lot pain and they made time to call and send packages to her. I will always be grateful to them.

Grace and Brady

Happy Birthday Cayden.

Today is My nephew Cayden's 1st Birthday.

Happy Birthday Buddy!

Susi, Bill and Cayden came over to play yesterday and so we could give Cayden his presents for his Birthday. I cant get over how big he was. the boys are growing up way to quickly. I made sure Bill and Susi signed Gracie's cast this time since she will have it removed on Wednesday. Hooray!

Thank You Susi for all the goodies and Bubble bath ( that will definitely be used ASAP). LOL

Happy April Fools Day!

I love pranking the kids and Frankly they Love trying to prank me.
I got them off the bus today with my underwear and Bra on the outside of my clothes. I thought this one was great and that they would be thoroughly traumatized but they weren't. they just thought it was lame and said come on mom you can do better then that. I guess I need to up my Game for next year.

• Grace Gets her Cast off in one week! YIPPEE!!!!

I cant even begin to explain just how exciting this is for us.
The first 4 weeks were really tough, with the pain and muscle spasms not to mention Oh Lord the itching. These last few weeks have been fairly comfortable for all of us.
We bought the girls a beautiful Maple wood Bunk bed and Grace has been back in her room ( Now I can read without 500 hundred questions at bedtime ) LOL

• In other news: My friend Leeann Gave birth to a baby boy on March 24th Kadle. I'm so Happy for her, Jason and Quentin. ) It's about time Lee! LOL

TWO DAYS TILL MY NEPHEW CAYDEN IS ONE YEARS OLD!!!!!!!
