Our Eggscelent Easter


We had a wonderful Easter celebrating our risen Savior! I hope your family did as well!

Not much going on around here except counting down our days until Disney...we are currently down to 25 more days! We are loving this beautiful Spring weather. And the warm sunshine!
My kids LOVE to play outside!

We did finally get a diagnosis for Caleb! After waiting 8 1/2 years for a diagnosis we were more than ready! He has Ullrich Congenital Muscular Dystrophy. Most children end up in wheelchairs by age 15. Which is depressing to hear. But we are so thankful for these years of full mobility we have been given and continue to ask God to cure Caleb! We know He can either heal Caleb or use this for His good! And Caleb has the best attitude about all of this! Praise God!

Wishes do come true!


Well we got a call on Feb 6th saying that Caleb was chosen to have a wish granted from the Make A Wish foundation! I couldn't believe it! This is such an answer to prayers! We have been wanting to go to Disney World for a long time! And now we get to go!

So Caleb's wish granter came to visit and asked Caleb all about his wish! He told her he wants to meet Goofy and ride the Tower of Terror!

So May 9-15th we will be in Orlando!!!! This will be the 1st time the kids have flown on a plane! They are so excited!
We are counting down the days!!
I made them countdown calendars...we had 75 days to start with...now we are down to 51!!!
I am not sure who is the most excited!! (I think it is me...but don't tell anyone!!)

Getting ready to walk!



Well I have been a very bad blogger! Sorry!
Caleb was chosen as a team leader for the MDA Stride and Ride on January 31st.
So we have been raising money for the MDA. Our friends and family have been very generous! And then the schools had a $1 to be out of dress code day and raised over $1100.
We are making signs to show support for Caleb! The youth group is going as well as many friends and family members! It is so awesome to see the love and support of our friends!
Not sure how we would survive without them!

Emilee is growing into a beautiful young lady before our very eyes! She has her 1st school dance in February!

Caleb is doing well! If we could just get him to quit talking in class! He is excited about the walk next Saturday!

Aubree started taking dance class in January. She loves it! She will be the star of the show at the recital! We got our cast off this month! Thanks goodness! That thing was a real pain!

Tom was ordained as a deacon on the 4th...and Caleb was baptized! I was a proud momma and wife!

I will try and update more frequently!
