Russell

Russell had pre school at Taylor Elementary this year. Hi teacher was miss Micky. He loved school.

He was so excited. His birthday was shortly after so he got to be the helper that day and wear his birthday hat.

Russell learned how to write his name, colors, numbers and much more. He had lots of problems with breathing this last year and the doctor found he had asma that sets in with the cold air. And that is how Taco became part of the family. Lol when Russell got his breathing machine he named him Taco. So it is taco the panguin. The end of November 2013 he had to go to an ENT because of his breathing and the found that both his adnoids and tonsils were a lot bigger than they should. Russell loved school so much I didn't want him to have to miss it so his surgery was scedualed for Dec 26th. My mom and dad came up and watched Eva and Matthew for us. Russell was able to tale a toy in with him so he took 2 lol. He took patches the piret and a stuffed tiger. While he was in surgery I ran to get him some balloons and so I wasn't there when he got out. Wade tried his best to comfort him but when I got to the waiting room I could hear him crying. It was so sad.

Russell loves super hero's so he is always dressing up as one. I this little boy can always bring a smile to my face. He has those big brown eyes and dimples that make my heart melt. He loved to go ourside with his class. I got a pic of them outside one day when they were drawing on the cement with chalk., Russell loves going to help wade clean the church. They get so excited to go.

Russell is a big help per and always wants to help with whatever I am doing. He loves to help change the oil in the Mazda. He is also accident prone. He was skate boarding and fell off the skate board and hit his face on the curb. He gave himself a fat, split lip. Knocked his front tooth loose and had a little brushing. Later that day Eva found a metal lock. She walked up and smacked Russell in the head with it. That was just in one day.

His finger got some kind of infection in it and made his finger nail fall off.luckily it grew back. At Russell graduation he sang a couple song. Eva wanted to be up with him so she kept ditching me and going to him. His teacher said he was the resident cowboy of the group and was always happy. When that was done we got cookies and went out to the play ground for a little while. He will go to pre school again in the fall. He had been working with a speech therapist and his speech had improved a ton! He is doing so good. His teacher says he is ahead on e erything else. I love the way he talks but I do t want him to get made fun. Of when he gets into school so I am very great full for the help he gets. Russell loves to draw, play sports and sing. I love my Russell so much. He brings me lots of happiness. He is getting to big and loosing his baby chunk. That makes me sad. But he is growing into a wonderful young man. The other night I had got them all to bed and Russell came down the stairs and said "mom, I love you and I won't ever leave you". All I can do I cherish every moment I have with him.

busy weekend

Wade works Monday thru Thursday most weeks so he had Friday and sat off. I bought myself a patio set for mother's day and so wade and the boys set it up for me Friday.

Shortly after finishing the patio set Matthew went to ride his skooter and wrecked. He was OK like 5 min later. That night was the ward swimming party. The boys had lots of fun. Sat we went for a short walk to a place called crooked water fall. Had some fun up there.

After the boys and wade went lizard hunting. Lol

It was a great weekend. I love my little family. They bring me so much happiness.
