.:FiNaLlY ArIzOnA PiCtUrEs:.

So I know that it has been like two weeks since we have been home from Arizona. But I have been lazy and not put any pictures of Jackson's and mines fun trip to Arizona. We take this trip every year with my mom to go visit my sister Mindee and her family. It is always the highlight of my year. I just can't tell you how much I miss her cute little family. I never want to leave!!! Anyways we had a blast. The first day we went boating...yes it was warm enough for boating....Jackson pretty much cried himself to see, but then when he woke up he was happy and really liked the boat. The other days we had a lot of fun going to Train Parks and to a really cool museum.....but I think that Jackson's favorite thing was just playing around the pool chasing his cousins with his walker. He had a blast down there walking with his little walker. He is just so funny...it is fun to see him get so excited to be able to walk around like other kids, he gets so proud of himself!!!! Well I know that there are a lot of pictures, but I didn't really want to make a slide show---Sorry!!!!

Our family said...: Looks like you had a fun time. That is so nice that you get to go and see them once a year. It is hard having family live so far away.; May 20, 2009 at 12:24 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!!!!!!
