Robo-Arm NO MORE!!!

Gabe with his full release Doctor's note!!!


On Tuesday Gabe was officially released from his brace!!! If there had been room I am pretty sure Gabe would have been doing cartwheels in the exam room! They took an x-ray and it was clear. They had Gabe do some strength exercise and were very impressed with his improvement from 4 weeks earlier! The doctor told Gabe to take it slow getting ready for baseball season, but that he didn't see any reason he would need to wear the brace!!! The last couple of nights we have been out slowly getting back into the swing of baseball! YAY!! No more Robo-Arm!!!

Fishing and Logging!


Saturday afternoon was absolutely gorgeous.....so, we headed down to the Fox Farm to do some fishing and grab some logs to mill! When we got there we ran into Grandma, Papa, Shannon and his cuties....so we all got to run around together! The kids did some exploring, 4-wheel riding and fishing! Gabe caught one little fish and Papa, using Grady's pole (so Grady took credit!) caught a pretty big one!! Afterwards, Shawn loaded up a couple of logs and we headed to Howard for dinner!! I am ready for a few more Spring days like this!!

Bonfire!!


On Friday night we had our first ever bonfire type cookout!! I was very nervous about doing this....it has been pretty dry and extremely windy....a not so perfect combination for a bonfire. But, early last week we had some rain, so we decided to give it a go! I am happy to report, we did not burn down half of Butler County...success! We had Shannon, Erin and kiddos and Marshall, Greta and Matt all over for the evening of fiery fun! We cooked hot dogs and smores over the fire and the kiddos all ran around exploring and having a giggly good time!! I hope this was the first of many bonfire cookouts to come!!

Hanging with My Homie!


Last Thursday and Friday Augusta had it's Kindergarten Round-up...so that meant I got to have my Kindergartner home with me!!! On Thursday, we played it pretty lazy...read some books, baked some cookies, played some wii, played at the park....a pretty perfect Thursday! On Friday, Hop the movie was released...and since no one else in our house was interested...Grady and I went to the movies!! It was a pretty cute movie...Grady loved it, so it was a thumbs up with me! I love hanging with any of my fellas....I especially love to get to spend some one on one with them!! Thanks for a great couple of days Grady Magoo!! I Love You!
