Dax LOVES to read!!

Since I have been home, and not working because I'm still healing from the surgery, I have been doing a lot of reading with Daxon.  It has been so much fun!! He loves it when I read to him, and this has been a perfect opportunity to do LOTS of it.  I can't play baseball, run, or pick him up, so we have been spending a lot of time reading.  We have been working on sounding out letters.  He is so amazing at how quick he catches on.  He can sound out and read most three letter words already.  There are a few longer words he can read as well.  He is really good at sounding them out.  He was really amazing Brian, my mom and I at how well he was doing!  He is so smart!  And he loves to learn!  We are so proud of you Dax!!

TAKING CARE OF MOM

Daxon has been taking such good care of me while I have been healing from my surgery!!  Last night, while I was reading to him, he asked if he could rub my shoulders to help me feel better.  I said SURE!!!  He does a really good job!  He has been pretty worried about me.  He has been helping me out and doing things for me because he knows it will help me get better.  What a sweetheart!

COUNTING MY BLESSINGS!!!

We kinda had a crappy weekend with me in the hospital after surgery.  I was tempted not to post this on my blog, because everyone wants to see happy things that happen in our lives.  But I just wanted to take this chance to thank all our family, friends, and the Surgeons, Doctors and Staff at SVMC!  We love all of you sooooo much!  Thanks for all of your love and support at this difficult time!  I am very lucky to be here and recovering so well! I am thankful for all of my many blessings.  I am especially grateful to Brian, Daxon, Mom, Dad, Boyd and Sherry!!

The Shooting Range

We took Daxon up to the shooting range.  My dad and I had to sight in our guns for the upcoming elk hunt.  Daxon is getting really good at shooting the BB gun.  He hit his target most of the time!  He was LOVING it!!  What a great shot!  It came so natural too him.  I couldn't believe it!  He really takes his time to make a good shot.  Except I thought he was gonna pass out a couple of times because we would tell him to hold his breath right before he shoots and he literally took in a DEEP breath and held it!  It was sooo funny!  We had a great time!

He was using us as a dead rest. :)

Look at the concentration! Love it!

A direct hit!!!

He made several holes in the water bottle!!

JESSICA'S BIRTHDAY PARTY!!

We had a blast at Jess and TJ's house for Jessica's Birthday party!!!  TJ made us BBQ ribs, and they were DELICIOUS!  We played tennis, golf and bowling on the Wii.  Dax got to play with us for a while, then went with his dad for the weekend.  He is really good at tennis.  Jess and I went for a ride on their Razor while TJ and Brian played Tiger Wood's Golf.  Then we all got really crazy when we played boys against girls in bowling.  It was sooooo much fun!
