The lift

Before in my blog i told you all that my dads work was going to put a lift in the house, so it was easier for my dad to get in and out of the house! Well over the week that's just what they did. They came and cleaned out everything, well moved it to one side. That night we had workers come in and put in the big life in, i was thinking something small. I knew it was going to be bigger, but not as big as it really was. Haha My dad was so happy to see that in. He couldn't believe how much stuff he had up in the shelves. It was a lot of Stuff. It has worked wonders for my dad. He still isn't able to walk up the stairs as well as we do. So the lift is the only thing we use. Its just great!
SO THANK YOU RAILROAD. you guys are amazing.


Here are before and after pictures!

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
