Basketball season comes to an end !!!

This was a different experience for Ryan. Basketball is not "his" sport, he enjoys it, but he hasn't played as much soccer.  He made the Granada team, he didn't play as  much as he would have liked. He understood, but the athlete in him, made it hard to sit. But with every life experience you learn, I hope he came away with a new perspective. All in all, he had fun and the 

8th grade team came away with a undefeated season !!!

Way to go Boys!!!

Life doesn't stop while Mom recovers.....

My kids, oh they just don't stop.

From another trip to the snow, he has absolutely fallen in love with snow boarding.

Nicole, went on a first date with a boy named Jacob ... ( he seems very nice and had a firm hand shake as we met before they went)

I missed her recital !! But the video was amazing. Love you Nicole

Ryan spent some time helping his big sis learn the waltz.

Staples out, new X-rays, no more pins and screws, there is still some damage, there always will be, only time will tell how this will play out. But it's time to make the best of whatever the future brings.

We had fun celebrating Ron's Birthday ... 

Valentine's Day came and went so fast

And, Ryan spent the day at Disneyland with Travis, Chandler and Samantha. ( This was the first time he'd been there since he was 2)

Oh wow, hold on, things don't slow down for any reason.

Take 2 ... Knee Surgery

Here we Go!

It's been 10 months since my fall, since I shattered my patella.

Today, Feb. 5th is surgery #2 

One of my main goals, get rid of this screw sticking out of my skin.

I'm scared, i don't want to do this, but i 

want to move on ...

This helped.... LOL

This attaches to your hospital gown, it makes you feel like the 

Michelen Man, but as it blows hot air into your gown and makes you feel 

warm all over ... you begin to relax !!

We are getting rid of the huge hardware and I am happy to report

they did not have to put any new hardware in !!

It looks pretty good, considering how bad I broke it.

Dr. Low believes the rest of the fractures will heal. 

 Bring on my recovery !!

Back to the couch, no bending for a week, but that's ok it hurts, so

the last thing i want to do is bend it.

  My day consists of pain meds and the ice machine .. 

This has been no fun, but everything is going so much better than i had expected.

Keep you posted !!
