Thursday Night

Gary is now asleep, Jennifer is in KC, and I am watching a little TV and eating a snack. Gary and I've had a good afternoon. Gary played his computer game, played with Karissa, and watched Cars with Brandon. We had chicken nuggets for supper.

It's Boy's Weekend.

Jennifer is off to KC and Gary and I are chillin out. I took Jen to the airport, picked Gary up from school, we went to lunch, and we are now watching Tom and Jerry.

Just Hi

I love him but days like today he can be a little pistel. He is happy at the moment playing computer games. He was very me, me, me today with Dr. Pat and school.

Zoo Day

We all just got back from the zoo and then dinner on Bono's Barbeque. We had a pretty good time at the zoo. Gary liked the penguins (he counted 15 of them) and he also liked watching the otters swim.

We brought his wagon so he could ride around and he had fun doing that. He just thought that Mommy was too slow so he and Daddy went ahead while Mommy followed behind with some friends that we met there.

Now Gary is playing Monsters vs Aliens. Jennifer just finished her shower and is now playing on the computer.

Saturday Evening

I was having fun working with my rose bushes when the neighbors boys came runing through. The kids had fun playing in our backyard. The boys liked Gary's climbing toy. Then Gary saw the boys and I had 5 boys playing in our backyard. Soo much fun. There was Karl, Ilija, Marco and baby Matia. Malia came by too so had fun adult talk too. I really enjoyed watching everyone play and I got a lot of yard work done. The boys moved inside and then eventual went back home. Gary is now having fun playing his new computer game. Nick is on the computer too. Now we can all be in the basement with computers. Poor Nick his safe haven has been infested by family. I will be going off to bed in a little while. Just wanted to tell everyone how much fun we had.

LOL- Lots Of Love

Saturday Afternoon

We are having a nice and lazy Saturday afternoon. It is a little chilly here so we are just watching some TV and waiting for Gary's new game to load.

We went to lunch at Five Guys Hamburger and then went to Target. At Target Jennifer lost her keys but fortunately someone found them and turned them into the lost and found.

Jennifer is outside trimming her rose bushes. I'm probably going to go back out in a bit to get some milk.

TGIF

Hi all.
Well this is the end of a long and fun week. Marty and Elaine left on Wed. then the weather decided to be warm. Oh Well. I had so much fun with my Volunteer work this week. I worked on Thrsday and Friday. Kindergarden is such a fun age. I really enjoy volunteering in the classroom. Gary rode a horse today. He does like this horse riding. We just need to figure out where to get a riding helment. Gary has also been able to play with all his friends. They have all enjoyed playing on Gary's new climbing toy outside. Now Gary has a slide, a little house, sand box, picnic table and jungle bars. Should be enough to keep him busy and happy. Gary pick out a book titled " The Visitor" from the library. Everyone thought that was quite cute. And yes he read the title himself. He is downstairs watching TV. We are all tired and ready for a fun weekend. Sunday we are going to the Zoo.

Long Day

It's been a long day and I will soon be off to bed. I took Mom and Dad to the airport early this morning and then went to work.

Gary had a good day at school and with Miss Nikki. Jennifer had a pretty good day also.

Good night.

Happy Birthday Day

Today was my Dad's and Gary's birthday. Gary went to school and to Dr. Pat's while my dad went golfing. I went to work.

Everyone had a good day. I grilled steaks for dinner. We had some chocolate cake for dessert. Then Jennifer went painting.

Tomorrow is an early morning as I am taking Mom and Dad to the airport (we will try to leave around 5:15 AM).

Gary B-Day Party

Hi all, Gary had a good birthday. His little friend Connor had a good time I think. He was so cute he wrote a Birthday card for Gary. He wrote about them being best friends until the end of time. Tooo cute. Then all the neighbors kids were here too. Toys scattered around the house, kids laughing and playing. We made our own cake, had chicken nuggets, chips and fruit. I think all had a great time.

Connor and I went sleding for awhile. Gary really wanted to open his presents. Once he calmed down he had fun playing with everyone. Then he forgot about the presents.

Today we will eat lunch at my mom's house and then find something to do.

Jennifer

Birthday Party Sunday

Today was Gary's little birthday party and he had a pretty good time. He got off to a slow start because he wanted to play with one of his new toys right away but the toy was too many parts for use during a party. Once he settled down he had a lot of fun playing.

April Snow brings May flowers?

Hi all, we are still getting snow here. It is 4pm Sat. and snow started Thursday. We will be able to have Gary's party tomorrow. Nick and Kocals are at the grocey store. If they can't find the few items we need we have plenty of food to feed everyone. It will be the birthday, snow day, eat whatever's in the frig. party. I love snow but would have been happier seen this stuff on a different weekend. But I am finally not worried about an extrem drought this spring and summer. All the seasons seem to be late this year. I think Mom and Dad are having an OK time. Well not much else to say but where is that snow shovle.

Snowsday Night?

It was closed to 70 yesterday and it is 35 and rainy tonight. It is expected to turn to snow by morning. Gary had a good day today. So did my parents. Jen and I finished week three of the adoption classes.

I all we are doing great here. yesterday Gary had an awsome time with Dr. Pat. He was able to follow directions even though you could see he wanted to do his own thing. Dr. Pat is very proud of Gary's progress.

He had a good day at school today. Afterwards was picnic time with our lunch bunch. He played really well with the other children. We were there for about 1 1/2 hours. Now he is getting his well desevered down time playing Lego Star Wars computer game. We are waiting for Miss Nicki to arrive and Occupational Therapy time. Then the patient wait for Mama and Dad Kocal.

Easter

Happy Easter everybody. We had a pretty good Easter here. Gary had fun going through his Easter basket and ate the ears off of two chocolate bunnies with his breakfast. He got the Wall E computer game and it actually runs on my laptop. He played the game before we went to the Rodger's for lunch. Our cousins Karen and Lynn were also there. We all had a good time.

Bowling

Easter Egg Hunter

Gary the Jedi Knight

Saturday before Easter

We're all having a pretty good day here. Gary did have a melt down on Jennifer when she wouldn't get him some Moon Sand at Target. After he calmed down and then we went to lunch at Fuddruckers.

After lunch we went to the bowling alley for a birthday party. Gary did really well there. They have rails that little kids can use to help them roll the ball down the alley.

After the party he played a little bit on his new computer game (Lego Star Wars). We went across the street for dinner and Gary jumped on their trampoline.

Gary and I are both home now while Jennifer is still across the street singing karaoke.

Happy Easter everyone.

on the saddel again

Gary had a fantastic day. He really likes riding the school bus and has his own special seat with blue streamers. He started HIPPO- Horse Therapy today. We have not been able to ride a horse for 6 months. Gary was really excited to get back on the horse and had a fabelous time. He looks so cute on the horse. I made a record time at the Social Security office today. Got there at 8:30 thinking I would miss the rush wrong. Luckly I was out by 9:30. I had to go an make sure that SS had my correct birth date. So I just went to the window handed my birth certificate and Drivers Licence and SSN. Then yep all correct and have a great day. I make the SS employee very happy. He had been having a rough week and need an easy break. When we were doing our taxes my B-day was wrong will have to check the IRS to make sure all is correct there. Wait isn't the IRS always right? Well we have had a good and busy day here.

LOL

School bus days

Gary is now riding the school bus to school in the morning. He was really excited today for the bus. He ran outside with a big smile on his face and looked at the bus. I then gave him is backpack and off he went. He even woke up early today ready to go riding. I am still picking him up after school because we have many after school activities we do. Also it is my time to see the teachers, other parents and visit. But so proud of my big boy. We are doing better here. Gary's cold is almost completly gone. I am feeling much better too. Now just have to get through all the side effects of the medications I was on. But back to my spunky self. Nick is feeling better too. We have had a good past two days. Gary had a super great day with Dr. Pat yesterday. Today he gets to play with Miss Nicki and Friday he gets to ride horses again Yea! Will be a busy week. Looking forward to Easter.

Love
Jennifer

Monday

It was a typical Monday here. Jen kept Gary home from school today because he has a bit of a cold. Nothing serious, but she wanted him to get some rest. they did color eggs today.

Jen had her Pulmonary Doctor's appointment today. It was a good appointment and her lungs are clear.

Egg hunt day

Today was the Easter egg hunt. Gary did really well. He filled his egg basket and more (I had to get a plastic bag to handle the excess.

He still isn't 100% and spent most of the day quietly. He watched "Spy Kids 2" and played some computer games.

Saturday

It was a quiet day here today. Jennifer took Gary and confirmed that he has a cold. His lungs are clear so they did not put him on any medication (which is good because he does not take medicine well). After the doctor Jennifer took a nap and Gary and I watched some TV. Gary alternated between bouncing off the wall and wanting to just snuggle. Toward the afternoon he was in a more snuugle mood. He wanted a doughnut so I went to King Soopers to get him one. Then with doughnut in hand we went to Five Guy's Hamburgers for dinner.

After dinner we watch Spy Kids, Gary took his bath and then he went to bed early (by 08:30). Hopefully he will be feeling better tomorrow morning as he has the neighborhood Easter Egg hunt. I probably have over 150 eggs to hide and I'm pretty sure that our neighbor Malia has just as many if not more.

Friday

Its been a quiet day here. Gary had a good session with his speech therapist. He then played outside for a bit with some of the neighborhood kids.

I stuffed enough Easter eggs to fill a big paper shopping bag. The neighborhood Easter egg hunt is Sunday.

I just finished boiling two dozen eggs so we can dye eggs tomorrow. Something to do inside as it is supposed to snow.

Easter Birthday Party

Today Gary had his lunch bunch friends over for lunch and an Easter egg hunt. According to Jennifer everyone had a blast.
