tying shoes and snow

So I am laid up in bed after getting a benign lump removed from my right breast (after about 3 or so years of having it) and then while i was under i was getting a lipoma removed in the middle of my upper abdomen. Well the surgeon said it could be a hernia and made it sound so simple to fix. It didn't even cross my mind that it would be a hernia and i could be laid up in bed for an extra day. You use your abs for everything and I am just getting over a cold so every time i cough it hurts so much. Even just walking i stay hunched over because i am so sore. I am taking pain meds but i am not sure they are really doing anything. Just glad I decided to have everything fixed and it has put my mind at ease. Now to heal.

so here is Buster. He has gotten bigger and longer, sleeps better at might if he sleeps on our bed. Bailey is jealous and wants whatever Buster has even if she normally wouldn't want it, example she never use to like chewies. 

we went down to Rock Hill a few weeks ago and got to visit with close family friends. Caleb was 3 when he was in our wedding and now he is 11. He is so grown up and I had not seen him in forever. He is so good with Jake and I hope they can stay friends. 

We got some snow about 2 weeks ago, to the tune of 6-7 inches. We had fun while we were out of school but were glad when it melted. 

Jake is now a big Pitt basketball fan:)

Jake has just started AR reading at school. He is doing well with his reading, he likes to read and sound out words but he is defeintly a numbers guy. He loves to count just about everything. 

Here is a video of Jakes newest accomplishment, tying his shoes. He is SO excited. He ties them like I do with the two bunny ears. 

Catching Up

Catching up yet again on this snow day at home early

Here is a short video of Jake playing basketball. Jake will be starting t-ball next at the end of March, Josh is going to coach his team:) I am glad that Josh has the opportunity to do this.

Mom and dad came up in February to watch Jake play basketball

By the end of the year I had put 100,000 miles on my Honda Civic, 3 years and 2 weeks after I got it.

Jake's new favorite game is Checkers, he has become pretty good at it and also plays on his kindle.

Jake has gotten trouble at school for talking every week or two. So this is what we decided to have him do as part of his punishment.
