No training wheels

Jackson rides his bike like a mad man with training wheels. Lloyd decided last Saturday to teach him how to ride without training wheels. You ask how it went, I think the pictures tell the story well.

Sweet moments...

Lloyd caught this sweet moment awhile ago at bedtime.

Jackson and Reuben Start Soccer

Reuben and Jackson started soccer last Saturday. They both had a great time when it came time to play the game. Before they started playing the game they had to do the normal dribbling, passing and shooting on goal exercises. Jackson and Reuben both lost interest in the drills. Most of the time Jackson was just running and kicking the ball around the field.
Dad got a little too involved with the drills and he ended up have to help coach the kids.

Family Editing

For Christmas I received Adobe Photoshop Elements 6
I am now just getting around to try and teach myself how to use it.
I must say it was nice to change faces of the kids for ones in a better shot. I couldn't figure out how to change Reuben's face without it leaving a 3rd arm on Allie. I am sure to figure it out someday!

Student of the Month

At the first of the year ......
even his teachers couldn't understand what he was saying.
he would bolt out of the classroom to see what might be out there.
holding a pencil unthinkable.
getting dressed a task to big to complete.
coloring consisted of throwing a crayon at the paper.

Now,
The teachers understand most of what he says.
running stops if you say freeze.
letters and numbers can be written.
zippers and big buttons are easy as pie.
a picture will actually have coloring inside the lines.
Yesterday, he was recognized as Student of the Month!!

We are excited Jackson has improved so much, a big thanks to everyone who has worked so hard with him.

Will you still love me?

Will you still love me when I climb on your windows and cupboards?

Will you still love me when I coat myself in peanut butter?

Will you still love me when I drive the van into the picnic table and it hits the garage?

Yes, we do we still love you!
