Spring and Summer adventures and adventures to come

Wow, we have been so busy on our little adventures that I have not been able to share them with you....


The second half of the school year was a rough one for our family. To make a long story short it was the School district Vs. the parents. I think it's safe to say that the parents won and great education was given to both our children. The school year has wrapped up and it's just hard to believe that we now have a fourth grader and a kindergartner on our hands.

 
Our family would like to extend a huge thank you to this women pictured with Trey. Through our difficulties and battles with the school district this second half of the school year Ms. Jess has been a huge help. Ms. Jess was able to maintain a one on one envirment where Trey could continue to be in school and learn while he was working on some of his down falls. Out side of the normal preschool learning, Ms. Jess was able to help Trey continue to communicate on his off days instead of shutting down and hitting and kicking. Ms. Jess has taught us as parents when it's the right time to be assertive, the right time to be patient and the right time to just walk away. Most of you are thinking that this is common sense stuff when raising children, how ever it's very different and at times difficult while raising special needs kids.


 
 
Our next adventure with our kids was our first family vacation. We went to Edge Water Resort for Tyler's birthday. The kids had a blast and all in all so did we.
 
 
 
We have already been to the cabin once this year. We had so much fun! I can't believe how much I learned about myself and my boys that weekend. Enjoy some of the pictures from that weekend!





The next adventure is for me. I chose to head coach Trey's 5 year old T-BALL team. I can honestly say that this year of coaching for me has been a blast but also torture all at once. I have learned to be way more patient than I ever have, and to just let go and have fun. I hope to do it again next year.

All and all our summer is off to a great start. We are extremely busy but loving every minuet of it.  Our little adventures continue and I hope to remember to write about them. We have on deck for our adventures another camping trip, first time at boy scout camp (I don't know who is more excited, daddy or Tyler) Huff N Puff and Heritage Days.  Hope every one has a safe and fun summer.

Until the next adventure....
