.:Jackson's 4th Birthday:.

Jackson had such a fun Birthday this year. He woke up and we made him some waffles and he got to blow out his candle, which he was super excited for. Then that night we had a family birthday party for him. We had over both grandparents, and my sister and Barry's sister and brother and Jackson's cousins Talmadge and Mia. It was a fun little birthday. He got a lot of fun presents. Some of them included a laptop from Dresden, some learning books from Grandma Connie, puzzles from Talmadge and Mia, a car ramp from Ryker and Ashlyn, and we gave him a train table that was given to us by some amazing people. Jackson loved all of his new toys. Then we got to eat some cake and ice cream....which might I mention that I actually made his train cake. It was a pain but I managed to get it done.....Anyways, I can't believe that Jackson is 4, he has come so far since he was born. He has had to work very hard to get to where he is at, and I am so proud of him. Jackson is doing really well with his walking. He is still walking with his walker, but he is walking on his own at home a lot more, and he is starting to walk with just holding one of our hands outside a lot more. He is still loving preschool....I am just a proud mom!!! I love him so much. HaPpY BiRtHdAy LiTtLe JaCk!!!!!!

"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!!!!!!
