Dallen's award assembly

Yippee! He would hardly hold still so I could snap a picture

We had a great time at the Cabin for the holiday. Dad had plenty of projects to keep the kids busy. They did a little joking around about all the projects but there was time to get in some r/r. The little boys had a blast playing outside. When Cherin asked Jalen what his favorite part was he said "playing". Sunday afternoon Dad and the guys spent the afternoon trying to get a car that had tried to drive across the meadow and got stuck. The ground in the Meadow is still pretty wet and soft. Keith went out and got the Truck out so he took the Backhoe out and got both the Truck and car out but then the Backhoe got stuck. They ended leaving it and will try to get it out when the ground is dryer. The kids in the car were pretty embarrassed about the whole incident

Mother's Day

Mother's Day - it was a great day. The kids that weren't here I got to talk to either on the phone or thru the web cam.

Dallen's Knee Surgery

After having 6 months of Knee problems and back and forth from Dr's and medication we finally decided that he needed surgery.
After Baseball season, on May 23rd, Dallen had surgery on his knee. The Dr went in to remove an inflammed Bursa. After a 2 hr surgery... Dr. Smith said it was the largest Bursa he had ever seen. When further scoping the knee discover a tear in his MCL that he was able to repair. We have been really please after the first week. There is little swelling and pain. He has to be non weighbearing for 4 wks. That is the hardest part for him.
