Wheelchair b-ball

Gage started wheelchair basketball the first part of Jan. He goes on Sat. for 2 hours. It starts off with 4 practices and then 4 games. Most of the other kids have spina bifida too. It's been really fun; good for him to see others like him and good for me to talk to other moms. I've seen a major change in him. Basketball is awesome!!!

All I want for christmas...

Helping build a castle...

Levi told me a while back that the tooth fairy uses kids teeth to build her castle. Over Christmas break Levi surprised us and wiggled out a loose tooth. The next week he got another one out. Gage is 8 and still hadn't lost one, but he was a good sport and was happy for Levi. The next day at dinner he said mom I have a loose tooth. I smiled that knowing mom smile. Five minutes later it was out and we were all celebrating.

I had no idea how much fun it would be to have kids loosing teeth. So, we're helping build some other ladies castle, putting out good money to do it, and loving it!!!

Christmas

Inside this beautiful gift was the 1st of 4 clues leading to their big gift from mom and dad. Levi raced to find the 3rd clue. when he found it Gage asked what it said to which Levi replied, "I can't read, you freak" What love.

They found the tramp set up in the basement. Gage said, "This is awesome. when I'm 32 I'm going to do this for my kids."

Do your best

With all the excitement of Gage's 8th birthday came the joy of being a cub scout. He's having a great time! I'll post some baptism pictures too, but I need to get them from my sis. first
