Night Skiing

Last week, Cory had me check T&M out of school early so he could take them night skiing at Brighton!  He got a free ticket from his work and really wanted to go.  Since I have only been skiing once, and it was over a year ago, I said "no thank you!"  So, T&M were more than happy to miss some of school and spend the evening on the slopes!

The afternoon/evening was a success and the three had a great time!  I just might have to try night skiing soon, but I need to get more daytime skiing in:)  When am I ever going to have time for that?

Exciting news!!  Tim has been asked to help out with the Utah Make-A-Wish gala fundraiser in April.   The theme is "Wishes Take Flight!"  I wonder why they asked Tim to help out?  :)

Skiing

This past Saturday, Cory took Tim and Mak skiing at Deer Valley Resort.  They had a blast and skied all day!  Cory wanted to get Tim out again on his "out-riggers" before the end of the ski season.  And it didn't hurt to get Mak back on the mountain either.  Sunday, all three of them went to church with a goggle sun burn:)  It was pretty comical!

2nd Leg

Tim recently received his 2nd leg from Shriner's.  This has been in the works for about a month and a half now.  His "BYU" leg became too small and it really limited Tim from becoming more active.  The new leg is sweet!  No velcro straps  for his pants to get caught on.  His rotated foot is at a different angle to take pressure off his toes.  And it's camo!  The foot from the 1st leg was used again though:)

Pretty proud of his new leg!

Tim had no problem walking on this leg.  In fact, when he wants to, he walks without a limp:)  The day after Tim got the new leg, he played in a game of church basketball.  Mind you, this was the first time he played since Jan. 2011!  It was tough and he ended up with a blister on his rotated heel:(  But he had a lot of fun and put up two shots, one right under the basket!  Both Cory and I were very nervous for him to play, but you have to let your kids go sometime.  Tell you what though, I was more than ready to take down any young man who hurt my Tim!  I didn't care if it was church ball:)

Promise, this is the last post of Tim in the media!  But this one is cool because very few people know about Davis High School and what they did for Tim's Wish!  It gives you hope for the human race!  Click here.
