Fun with daddy- Part 2

Washing off all the dirt

Making it shine

Daddy's helper

Tickle fest

Can you see the happiness in Connor's eyes?

SO much fun!

My boys having lunch

Hammering away at Lowe's

Finished product

We also went to Lowe's where Connor and daddy built a rain gauge. We had to buy Connor his own hammer after that, he tried to smuggle the one he used. They also took time out of their day to wash Ray's truck. Connor loves anything that involves water! We ate lunch at the Oasis which is a great restraunt on Lake Travis. Our night time routine was a little out of whack while Ray was here. They played numerous games of Go Fish, wrestled and played light sabers in the dark. Hearing their laughter was so nice.

I am Lara, a thirtysomething who is just now starting to figure life out. I am a very proud Army wife to Ray and a very proud mommy of Connor (7). Between hubby's job and his National Guard commitment, and Connor's school, speech therapy and horseback riding for OT, I'm finally finding time for me. I LOVE my family, sonic ice, Target, Hobby Lobby, Christmas, cold weather, cupcakes, mexican food, MOPS, flip flops, crafting, cooking, baking, spending time with my friends, photography and the occasional date with some guy I call my husband.

Connor was born on September 11, 2003. After he was born, we were informed that he failed his newborn hearing screening. As it turns out, Connor was born deaf but perfectly healthy. We were informed after meeting with a few specialists, that Connor was a canidate for Cochlear implants. We were beyond thrilled! Our little boy would hear! He had his first implant surgery 1 week after his 1st birthday and his second surgery in May 2006. He is still about a year and a half behind in his speech and language, but he is really making progress everyday. He's been through more in his life than anyone I know. He has also been diagnosed with kidney reflux that we discovered while on vacation in California in 2007. He had surgery to correct is in 2009 and it worked! He is currently in 1st grade and rockin' it if I might add. He goes to speech therapy twice a week and horse therapy once a week. He rides a horse named Chaney in hopes of gaining more confidence and he's making huge progress! He loves math, writing, word searches, legos, running around, climbing trees and eating. He is really an amazing kid and we are SO blessed he's ours!
