.:SLEDDING:.

So last Saturday Shannon, her friend Ashley from Washington, Barry, and I went sledding up to Hartsgravel. It was a blast. Barry would give us a ride up the hill with his snowmobile(which was fun to ride cause I haven't had a chance to ride it since he bought it), and then we would fly down the hill. The first couple of times it wasn't too bad, except for all of the powder that covered us the whole way down. But after a couple of times it started to get packed down pretty good and we were flyin'. It was a blast and I am so glad that we did it. I haven't been sledding for a long time(well except for the kiddie hills) and I forgot how much fun it was. So thanks Barry for being such a trooper and drivin us up the hill so we didn't kill ourselves walking:)

Shaun - Jillian said...: What a blast! That looks like so much fun. Shaun and I went and did the tubing hill in Midway a few years ago but that has been the extent of our sledding! It looks like you guys had a great time! We still need to get together and do lunch.; February 20, 2009 at 3:11 PM

"A Quiet Testimony"

You could look at this little boy and think nothing is wrong
Those that know him, know he's struggled all along.
Appointment after appointment, doctor after doctor
Built up with frustration, but sitting with no answer.
Not knowing where to start or what to do
Quietly the little boy grew and grew.
His parents each holding a hand along the way
He's not going anywhere-He is here to stay.
In his eyes, determination-In his heart is faith
He pushed the bar and slowly it was raised.
Always smiling, and happy as can be
Such a small boy, not yet three.
He's stronger than most, but not where expected
His so called battle his mind has rejected.
He's doing his best, and through that succeeding
While those that love him are fervently pleading.
Throughout his life, he'll go so far
From the beginning he let to raise the bar.
With that attitude of-"Come what may" He's my little angel, Jackson Ray.

.:Our Blessing:.

Jackson has just recently been diagnosed with Ataxia. He is doing so well and loves walking with his walker. Jackson still has physical, occupational, and speech therapy once a week. Jackson loves his therapists and does such a great job for them.
Jackson has taught Barry and I a lot about loving and patients. He loves so much and is such a happy boy(most of the time). We love Jackson so much and are so proud of him. Even though his life is a little harder for him you could never be able to tell, just for the fact that he doesn't let it slow him down. And that is a lesson that he can teach all of us. What an awesome kid!!!!!!
