Coming home.

Last week we were able to bring my dad home for the home evaluation. They Hospital wanted him to come to his house to see what we needed to fix before he came home. He was able to come and walk through his home for an hour. And let me tell ya it made a total differences in him.

When we got to the house he wanted to walk up on his own and go up the stairs. He did wonderful, for his first time going up them i think it was great! After we got into the house ALL on his OWN he walked 8 steps. Without a walker also. I about died.! He was able to go to his bedroom and just lay on his bed. IT made him feel so much better. They told us that the only thing we would have to do it get swing away doors. THAT'S all.:) I was shocked cause i knew we would need to do a lot more. Luckily it was just that. We got some more tips on how to get him up and around. It was a great learning thing for us as well as my dad.

When it was time to go home, my dad wasn't ready to leave at all. But he knew what he need to work on before he came home for good. The last week he was up at the U he worked his BUTT off to get everything where he needed it.

I know my dad was really happy to be back to the house he hasn't seen for 3 mouths. It was amazing to have him back, even just for an hour. It was so excited to us cause we knew he was coming home SOON :)

 He is just so handsome! I love him!

Monster Trucks

Friday we were able to take the boys to the monster trucks! Ive always wanted to but worried that Connor wouldn't like them cause how loud they were. I was totally wrong. He was in love with them! He was so excited when i told him that we were going. He kept saying in the car "Are we there yet". When we got there, we couldn't get to our seats fast enough. Connor was pulling me and running to get there. When we sat down and got the ear plugs in, Connor never took his eyes off them. I had to beg and beg to get two pictures. He got mad at the trucks cause they didn't go fast enough, or high enough. He would always have the rock and roll sign on his hand while they were racing or free style. This is why i love having a boy! :) I remember going to monster truck EVERY year with my dad, and now I'm so excited to start taken Connor every year! Cant wait to share that with him!

Thanks baby for being my main squeeze.

He is my BEST FRIEND

Tranding spaces

Before my dad comes home, my mom wanted to paint their room. She didn't want him coming home to the same thing he left when he was sick. She wanted to have something to go with the new life we all have. She was pretty worried that we wouldn't have anytime to do this. We were always up at the hospital that really we didn't have time. But Last Friday Torie and i stayed home to shock my mom when she got home from work. We headed to walmart, got some paint, and started paint the room. My mom wanted some brown in the room and wanted a different color on one of the walls. My dad favorite color is blue and we thought the brown and blue went great together. Its was such a pain to get the wall paper down, but after that painted went really fast. It did take us all day to do it but i think it turned out great. We still have to hang pictures up and a wall word, but we will get to that. :) We changed the whole room up so it would be easy for my dad to get in and out with the wheelchair and with walking. It worked out perfect.

Lets just say my parents LOVE it. They thought it looked great.

 We had some awesome help, from these cute little boys!
