Well, as you can see, we finally did it. We got Jordon back on a horse. He enrolled in a therapeutic riding program in Tooele called Healing Horses. It is a really neat program. They work with disabled children, people who have had traumatic brain injuries, surgeries, or behavorial or self esteem problems. They had one little girl trying to stand on a horse as the horse walked to help boost her self esteem. It was pretty cool.
We were able to get Jordon on a horse before his chemo treatments. For the next few weeks, he has appointments to go every Wednesday night. He wasn't able to go this past Wednesday because his chemo wore him out. He seems to be handling his chemo well. We have to continue to watch for side affects, but all in all, he is chipper and happy. :)
This beautiful chica is my younger sister. She and my dad have great faces huh? LOL. She is heading back to college on Monday, so we had a family dinner to say goodbye. I have to tell you, it is great getting together with family. There is never a dull moment.
I think I have a nack for taking pictures of people when they aren't ready. Sorry Goffrey! :)
Oh, and isn't our neice Mac adorable!

I agree. There is nothing better then getting together with family. I live here with all my family and it's still a treat for me. That horse back program sounds really cool. I'm glad Jordan gets to participate in it. It will be really good for him. I'm also glad Chemo is going better. We love you guys!

Family really is the best. The horseback riding looks really neat.
