My brother is serving in the Air Force in Iraq and will be coming home soon!!!! I got an email from him a little while ago and was telling us that he recieved the "Airman of the Month" for his group and they have only given 5 out since he has been there so we are really proud of him. He is one of our biggest hero's.
Stetson is continuing to progress in therapy i don't have any pics lately i will be getting some. He is walking on a treadmill on a litegait training system which harnesses him above the treadmill and they can change how much weight they put on his legs. He is at about 20 percent of his own weight and has gone from a speed of .8 / 1.3 mph to 2.5 mph in the last month and going for 2 sessions of 10 min. He is doing awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Soccer is finally over!!!! Bay did pretty good at the end of the season but i think she needs to have a bunch of balls kicked at her so she wont be so scared of the ball hitting her next year!!! she was trying to get away from the ball not going for the ball most of the time during her games. i have some pics and will post them below.
Chase got to go to OMS (ontario middle school) today for a tour of the buildings. Every year the Middle School 8th graders take the incoming 5th graders for a tour of the school so they have an idea of how the layout of classes are for the next year even though they wont really be changing classes much. They have what they call self contained classes that they started 2 years ago. they will only change classes for pe, facs, art, and choir or band if they choose to take those (or even those might be required now who knows they are always changing things at the Middle School). He is soooo excited he came home tonight and wanted to get his binder ready!!!! school wont start for him for another 3 1/2 months!!!!!!! I dont think he is even remembering that he has to wear a uniform which means no more camo everyday to school!!!!
Loney is really busy working on the farm. Things are all planted but now he is busy trying to get all of the water on all of the fields.
This summer is going to be a busy summer, Stetson will be attending Boy Scout Camp for one week and the week before that he will be attending a Nation Youth Leadership Training Camp which will be at the same place of the Boy Scout Camp. he is also only 1 badge and about 4 merit badges away from getting his Eagle Scout!!!!
We missed the sign ups for Chase to play baseball this summer so he will probably be helping stetson with his stuff while he is away and helping me out around the house.
Bay will be starting softball here pretty quick since soccer is over.
Loney and I celebrated 15 years in March and I bought myself an anniversary present!!!!
I got a new GMC Acadia SUV crossover!!! I absolutely love it!!!! in fact the first weekend we had it i had each of the kids pick a friend and we all went to a movie and played at the Game World we had a blast!
2 Sundays ago we had a big storm come through the area and it even brought a funnel cloud with it. It never touched the ground so it wasn't officially a tornado but it did bring with it the hail. Yes i even got pictures of that. They started out as small stones and then grew!!! i just bit my tongue cuz i havent even had my new car for a month at the time and yes it has hail damage now :( Oh well life goes on!!!!
Well that should get you all up to date for now i will try to keep you all up to date. I see my sister in laws blog spot and wonder if she can do it with 4 boys all under the age of 9 ( i think) then i should be able to do it.
