getting some air

lets jump!

THE TRAMPOLINE IS UP!

its huge and takes up most of the yard LOL

but we love it! the whole family does! we are so blessed to have friends and family to help us win it for cookie. thank you again!

2 days time +

in just two days time we should have our brand new trampoline!

thanks to every single one of you that voted for us and helped cookie win. This is going to bring her years of fun and safe exercise! Anything we can do to add years to her life is the best gift.

We are putting together ideas for a backyard over haul for cookie and other future children. we have an all cement back yard and no place to play and have safe fun. So christopher and i ripped up the fountain this past weekend and made some mental plans on where to put some grass and get the place ready for some fun!

baby pools and slip n slides here we come!

so for now we got the fountain down and out and the trampoline will go on top of that spot.. and once we get that thrown out we can start to rip up all the cement and planters we are removing. add some grass (and my hopes of a water fall/pond) then we are done! wish us some major luck!

th VEST

Today cookie had her first treatment with the vest! She loved it! She did so well with it! singing and chatting away as the machine made her voice vibrate. She would giggle and laugh at how she sounded. We have it set to run for 20 minutes at a time at 2 times a day.

lil' swimmer

Today has been up & down. Driving to my aunts this morning (where im baby/house sitting until monday) almost every song that came on the radio made me cry as i sang it.. every song that made me think of connor and his parents.

it was a rough morning. I cant begin to imagine what the Jones' are going through.

Once we got to the house, unpacked, got lunch and a nap.. we went for a dip in the pool. Im having a hard time trying to figure out how to teach cookie to swim without using a public pool.. seeing as we dont have one of our own, im trying to teach her every chance i get. She has started trying to go underwater on her own now.. its a bit scary.

All i know is that i will be hugging cookie extra tight tonight. a cuddle & a kiss. well be praying for the jones'

+ Connor +

Late last night, a little boy named Connor Reed Jones, lost his battle to CF. 7 years old. I can tell you as a mother that... its not nearly long enough. How is it that a 7 year old is ready to pass on? We need to cure this disease and it needs to be done NOW.

Connor will live on through us and our memories. Love and prayers to his family.

Breathe easy Connor man, breathe easy

+ Play date day *

We had a play date/family meet up today! Memorial day in the back yard, the grill cooking burgers and hot dogs, drinks all around, babies playing on the groung.. it was a blissful day!

Laura and family came down from Colorado for a socal vacation! They stopped by for the day to spend some time with us. We got the BBQ fired up and played some ping pong in the front yard. Naturaly we both took a thousand pictures LOL. We are so happy the could stop by for some time with us! Thank you guys for the beautiful day!! xoxo
