Trucking along.

Time is flying by.  I can't believe my kiddo is 6 years old.  Here is his 6 year picture.  Still quite a ham!

We had a great summer and enjoyed all of the time together.  Dad lost his job at the beginning of summer and fortunately picked up a new one.  This new one didn't start until August, so we were able to spend extra time together.  I continued working through out but I am blessed with an extremely flexible schedule.

We went to see Winter the dolphin in Clearwater with Mom-Mom and Grammy.  It was super hot but worth it.  Cyler was super excited that he was able to see a real super-star.  He had never seen the movie before so we purchased it while we were there.  


We traveled a couple hours up north and visited a retirement home for horses.  They take old horses and let them live their final years with dignity.  Visitors are only allowed 1 day per week and for only a limited number of hours.  There is no riding but there is a lot of feeding.  Admission is 2 carrots per person and the horses LOVE carrots.  It was a great experience for Cyler.  He was able to see how all of their personalities were different. Some of them we trained to be performers and still liked to put on a show.  


Of course summer would not be complete without a couple of trips to Old Town and a visit from uncle Jordan.  
Riding Go Karts with Dad.  1st TIME!!!

 Getting stuck between this two was actually a choice.  He loves his Jordan and his Jayme!
 Grammy time...

Summer was over in the blink of an eye.  It was a lot of fun while it lasted. Everything got crazy all at once. Cyler has started school and is doing very well.  It takes about 4-5 hours a day but we are able to take breaks when needed so that he can dance around and get his wiggles out.  I am so glad we chose to learn at home.  He takes school very seriously.

We are so proud of him.  He is also playing soccer. We did get clearance from his cardiologist.  Cyler had to do a holter monitor because he was showing a different kind of heart beat. He generally has PVC's and a slower heart rate than most.  This time he was showing beats coming from other places within his heart.  The monitor showed that his junction would kick out a beat if he heart rate dropped to low...which is what it is supposed to do.  Sooo...he got the all clear!   His first game was today and he did wonderful. The Coach said Cyler is a natural due to the fact that he was able to easily switch his kicking foot.

Dad even got talked into being a coach since they are short a couple.  Cyler has also joined the 4H club.  He is a clover bud.  Most of the kids are older than him but he seems to do ok.  I like that they are planning some community projects and at the end he will do a public speaking presentation.  I am sure he will do fine.  This kid can TALK.
