AIR CANOEING GANOE STYLE

Well its been along time since I have posted anything on this site....this working for a living is just no fun and trying to keep up with facebook takes any extra time. But its time for changes and this is one of them. I am feeling great with a new back, walked 8 miles this morning....

I wanted to share with everyone especially my boys the new attraction at camp. It is air canoeing. I included some pictures and a video. Jeff is awesome, and the swing is so calming.

It will be the pirate ship for the boys, maybe we will put in a treasure and a magic key.....

Only 28 more days until camp, we are counting down here, Papa has some other things in his bag of tricks before you come. Hope everyone enjoys the ride and check in more often for what is happening with the Ganoes.....

BIG MUD FIGHT

This was an awesome mud fight. Papa planned

it ahead of time and told everyone the rules.

The boys loved it, they couldn't believe they

had permission to throw mud at Papa and to get as

dirty as they wanted. A few tears happened, but only

because it was cold. Now we are facing 12 inches of

snow, I'm glad we did it yesterday. It was a fun

memory filled event...

Since the Hospital

This is the sign I came home to on my room, the boys were dressed in their
nurses uniforms with name badges, they have taken good care of me.


These are two pictures of my xrays, one looking down and one from the side
the one above on the outside of the hardware is the bone he piles there to help fuse.
The little lines in the bottom shot are the spacers between the disks. It looks weird,
especially when I think they are in me, the pain isn't too bad with the medicine and
I'm moving around better and better every day. Yesterday I even went outside
and walked a little. Maybe tommorrow I'll go again, it sure tires me out.

this is Tiffany with her birthday present. It was delicious..Jeff got one too and he shared with me. The boys did not like them as you can see from Braydens expression below. He kept saying, Please could you put those outside, those eyes keep looking at me. Then he said his mom liked big bugs.... we had just been reading an alphabet book about bugs and some had antennas and pinchers.... we assured him it wasn't a bug, that didn't help, it wasn't until Jeff threw out the shells and the eyes, that Brayden would finally taste a piece of meat, he liked it.....

We also received two big boxes of food from our friends, with all the fixins for a turkey dinner,

we had it yesterday and it was so wonderful. thanks so much for all those who helped out since the surgery. you are all wonderful

WHAT A WEEK!

It's been quite a week. Here is the evidence that I survived... It really is amazing what the body can take and how quickly it wants to fix itself. The Lords creations are
truly miracles. Thanks for all the love and support this week. The food, visits, thoughts and prayers have been wonderful, and we really appreciate it.

Drake also survived a free fall off the zipline face first, the photo does not
do the road rash justice. It really hurt, that snow had turned to ice, but he was a trooper, at least we didn't end up in the hospital for him.



Papa set up the tipi to sleep in with a movie and snacks for when I got home, The boys loved it.
I am in the dining room with a sign that says, Geeda's Suite..... they have been great helpers.
I sure am lucky for a great husband, mom, kids, grandkids, family and friends. Thanks to all of you who have made this easier for me....

Pinewood Derby Winner

Brayden and Papa made his car for the Pinewood Derby.
Of course it was a bucket truck with a tool box and a little man inside.
Brayden was in the non-scout catergory. Our cubs let all others who
want to race, race after the official race. It is nice of them to let
everyone share in the fun. Lucas was the official cub winner and
then Brayden as the other winner got to race against Lucas and
Brayden was the winner. After we had prepped him the whole time
that it wasn't about winning but having fun. Everyone was so good
helping him enjoy the moment, especially because he is just visiting.
Way to go Goshen troop. It was a fun night for everyone.

Happy New Year

Cade came the weekend before Christmas and he was so sick. He did like
sitting on the counter and washing dishes with Geeda. He did not want to
get down, he held on like a little monkey when we tried to get him down.
This is the same counter I sat on with my grandmother doing dishes and my
own girls sat and helped years ago.


This is Levi, I can't believe he is so big, he
is already crawling. I can't wait to see
them all.
