At the end of May, Taylor started the long awaited T-Ball that he was dying to play. His Grandma and Dad spoiled him by buying him the whole getup to be able to be play the g
ame. He was one of the best hitters and throwers on the team! What an arm he has!! His team name was called the Tornadoes. He had a really quick season and went to most of the games until.... one morning he woke up and had really bad leg and hip pain in his left leg. It has come and gone within the past couple of months, and we have taken him to the Dr and done several test. All the test come out negative that nothing is wrong. We finally took him to Primary Childrens Orthopedic Sergeon, and they didn't find anything either. What a relief! (History of Perthies Disease runs in my side of the family). Anyways, the pain lasted about
a week and a half and has not come back since. In the mean time, after T-Ball I took the boys and went to Oregon with my
parents and Jeff & Colin and their fa
mily... We went for almost 2 weeks and had a blast. Taylor loved to fish with Grandpa Metler, Hayden loved to ride on the wave runners and the two of them had their usual run to the lodge for ice cream or popcycles. When we got to the cabin, we found out that the long lasting banana tube had a HUGE hole in it from wear and tear. The grandkids had sooooo much fun with that, and it was well worth every cent we spent for it years ago. In its place, we got this nifty looking tube. It was the coolest tube to ride in, and you hardly ever fell off of it. Only if you weren't holding on and hit a big bump. That happened to Taylor, he was showing off and decided that he didn't need to hold on. The two girls held on tight, and he got popped right off the tube!
He was like spider man crawling through the air before he hit the water! What a trooper he was. It made him a little nervous to be in the water by himself. Taylor also tried waterskiing, and was unsuccesful, maybe next year. Little Squirt, Hayden, was attached to the wave runner the whole time. That was all he wanted to do. Well, he loved to get in and swim with mom too.
After 2 years of not going to the cabin, I finally decided that I couldn't miss out again. That is when Jeff and Colin were so thoughtful and let us go with them. We had a great time and it was good for Hayden and Taylor to get to know their other cousins better. It was so hard to go down to the lake and be on the dock all day and do really not hing! I really needed that vacation in order to get through these next couple of months. Thanks to Mom and Dad Metler, they rode over and back with us to Oregon and shared the cost of many, many things. We love them for that!!! How gracious they always are to our little fam ily that is still growing!
Don't worry, we had a lot of time jumping off the dock and "Jumping on a fish!" The water was great, and the weather couldn't have been any better. We lucked out for the year. Thanks to all, we had a GREAT time! Jerilyn
