this child has no fear

there were 13 year old kids who would'nt go down a huge hill with a jump.

Bridger jumped on his sled and took off down the huge hill and hit the jump with air.

he had the greatest time of his life.

the kids looked at him and said "Holy crap little guy, your crazy!"

yep, that's my boy!
(ps: this isn't the huge hill, i didn't get pictures)

fosty heading on his way, and loving it!






it's good for me to get out.
even though i struggle.
it's very worth seeing my kiddo's having a blast.



SMALL TOWN FUN

we visited Mike's bro and his family

we had a blast
i just love small towns
here is why:
there is something about the people that i just love
they are humble
everyone knows everyone
they are easy going
not materialistic
simple

carharts and wranglers are fashionable
they have fun outdoor activities

i loved when i lived in a small town

bowling with the kids
great entertainment
kids LOVED it!

bridger's masterpiece

A little update:

i am feeling about the same.. they are still not certain if this is all from lyme disease... so again i'm being tested for a million other things. it's a little frustrating, but also i know i'm so very blessed. i've realized how wonderful my family and friends are.. honestly i can't believe all the phone calls, emails, dinners, watching my kiddo's, cleaning my toliets and house(thanks liz!), and just all the prayers. i'm so grateful...i cry often, just thinking about all the wonderful people i have in my life..thank you!

I was resting in the other room and heard Bridger working on something, so I decided to check it out.. He strung tape across the whole room, so his superhero's could hang on something.

Foster famous head stand he does all through out the day when he is bored..

Face painting is a favorite in our house. Bridge's cousins got in on it while they visited. Thanks to Miguel our artist!

To- My Boys

I know life has been different this last little while.

I'm sorry you've had to see your mom go through this trial.

It's been hard for me to not be able to do what I use too.

You've both been so patient and forgiving, it's true.

-

It's actually been good to not rush around for once.

It's been good to stay home with you two wild boys and get punched.

It's been fun using our imagination and pretending to fly to the zoo or moon.

I'm glad Bridger made me Bat-women and that I can fight the Joker while I lay down on my petoot.

You've shown me the little things in life are the greatest.

-

-

Bridger I know your worried about me quite often.

Your so caring and have such a kind soul.

Your encouragement and love has been helping me heal.

-

-

Foster i love your little mumbled language you speak,

but what's amazing is you say "Jesus" so very clear I can't believe!

That makes me smile and weep.

-

-

You've both taught me I need to be better at forgiveness.

You forgive in a instant when I say or do something i shouldn't.

All I have to do is say I'm sorry and give you a hug,

And your smile returns like the Son above.

-

Bridger your so smart, kind, sincere, and happy.

Foster your my cuddler, adventurer, food lover, and easy going cutie.

-

Our trials in our lives will make us so much stronger..

My 2 precious sons.. You are what is keeping me going!

I love you!

Mom
