We went out to CDR one Wednesday night for worship and Kanyon got to hang out with Christie. She and her husband were on staff when we were young, then we got to be on staff when their kids were campers (young campers) and now we're all just a big happy family!!
Here is klp with the Cox kids (Jr. and Christie's kids) Drew, Kade, and Macy. Drew was the ring bearer in our wedding. He was such a little guy then now he's grown!!! Drew got baptized that night and we are SOOO proud of him. Jr. sorry we didn't get any pics of you!! klp has lotsa love for you too! :)
A couple of weeks ago while I was in Dallas, my aunt Nancye kept Kanyon so me and Kasey could go celebrate our birthdays at Cheesecake Factory!! Uncle Frank was there too, but I didn't get any pics of him!
This was at CDR after Drew's baptism. Of course being that close to the pool and not getting in was torture for Kanyon, so afterwards, my dad let him dip in it for a little bit.
My Aunt Mary Lynn and my grandma Nanny Lou drove out to Pittsburg to buy some peaches last week. They are the best peaches in the world and its a fun little outing. We ran into my great Uncle Richard there, so Kanyon got to hang out with Uncle Richard too! Funny story...while he was sitting in my grandma's lap a lady from the newspaper came up and wanted to take his picture for the newspaper!! BUT she wanted him to be eating a peach....wrong kid, lady. So she moved on to a less cute (just kidding), but more cooperative boy who would eat his peach for her!! haha!!
The Briscoe's came over the other night and Addison and Kanyon had a great time! Is she not SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE?!!!!! Here they are both cracking up at something.
sweet friends
This is big news in our house....KANYON GOT NEW WHEELS!!! He got an AmTryke (i may have spelled that wrong) and we are so happy. The AMBUCS organization gives these away to kids all over. They make all sorts of different tricycles depending on what each kids needs, how much support they need to sit, etc. They just got these new seats in that adjust so that smaller kids can fit sooner. I push it and the foot pedals go and so do the arms. It is obviously really good for his legs to move and good for his arms too! It stretches them and gets them loose and moving! We do have to rig a velcro thing to make him keep his left hand on the handles, but he tolerates it OK. It is just fun to have something that he can do outside. He enjoys it and we are so thankful for people who create these things for ALL kids. BTW she would die if I told this, but one of our therapist is actually the one who invented these things years ago but wanted all kids to be able to get one (instead of buying one) so she handed over the patent to AMBUCS. I mean seriously. She's not only smart, but truly generous and working to help kids!
