Carter and his collar bone

Poor Carter broke his collar bone on our slide. I feel so bad for him he can't seem to catch a break. Just this last week he relearned how to ride his bike without his training wheels. He has been in a lot of pain and has been so uncomfortable. I hope he has a fast recovery.

Birthday and Belts

Wes had his 9th birthday party. I took 7 boys to the movies to see Rio. The boys loved it. We came back to our house and had Pizza and Cake. We are so lucky to have so many kids in our neighborhood for our kids to play with.

Wes and Car have been enjoying Karate very much. They earned there first strip on there belts two weeks ago. Car was epically excited. We are so lucky that we have found something for him to do and enjoy. It has been so good for his balance and stretching.

Spring

Car wanted a new ssuit so bad. He begged and begged me to get him one. I finally broke down and bought him a suite. He wanted to look like his Dad. He was so excited to go to church and show everyone.

We had a weird week of weather about 3 weeks ago. The kids took advantage of the warm weather and played on the play set all day. Here is Car swinging away.

I found Ry playing with Micky Mouse. He cracks me up so much. This was his outfit of choice. A kids Home Depot apron and a Straw hat.

Papa M, Ry, and Car.

All my boys ready for Church.

Papa L and the boys.

Papa L and Mimi were in town when it was grandparents day at school. The kids were so excited that they could come to school with them.

Update

I have been really bad with updating our blog so here is a what we have all been up to.

Weston is doing well in school. He is really enjoying karate and cub soutss. He started an art class and his having fun learning new techniques. He has been such a wonderful older brother. He has really stepped up to the plate with being such a big help to me.

Carter is still spunky as ever. He is finally enjoying school and Church. I am very happy with his progress and his ability to work around his disability. He keeps my hands full.

Ryder has hit the terrible twos. He makes us laugh so much. He keeps things light and fun in our house. We are so lucky to have his little spirit in our home.

Chris has been very busy with finishing the basement. His busy season is getting ready to start. We are lucky that he does not need to go away for a long time this summer.

I have been trying to get to our new normal. We have got a new routine down finally. This will never be the same like it was before Carters accident but we are very blessed to have every day we have.

Reflections

Weston loves to draw and create. He was able to enter in two Reflections entries. He took first place for his photo entry. He went onto the next round of competition but came up empty handed. It was such a good expericane for him. He is so excited for next year. Good Job Weston!

Cast Buddies

Carter and Ryder both had casts on at the same time.

Ryder went down our slide on the Make-a-Wish play set and broke his foot. He had his cast on for about 5 weeks. Carter on the other hand had his cast on to help his walking. He was lucky and only had them on for two weeks. He was such a good boy about it.

Wishing

Carter had the amazing opportunity to be apart of Make-a-Wish. He was able to wish for a play set for our backyard. It was a cool experience for our whole family. He had his star raising ceremony at the Make-a-wish house. He received a glass star and is able to write wishes on it. Than they are able to raise the star to the ceiling. Mike and Kathy where Carters wish sponsors. They are amazing people. I wish that every kid could have this opportunity.
