It has been since December 2010 that I have posted so I am going to give a quick update on what happened in our family in the last 9 months. First of all I am so happy to report that Evan has been mostly seizure free since November 1, 2010. We are so happy with the decision to place his G tube and it has been the best thing for him. No more worries about meds etc. He has had a few suspicious events that could be seizures but I am not for sure. We see his neuro next week so we will see if he wants to look into it further. I am fine if he has these weird little episodes and that is it. A girl can dream right? Evan had a bit of a rough fall and winter in 2010 but things are going so well right now. I hope this continues. So now onto the important part. The fun of pictures.

| The Bon Family(minus Greg, Alicia & Sophia) |
We took a trip to Auntie Karen and Uncle Gary's for our annual Christmas and Snow fun. We went to Pinecrest lake and it was so cool to see the frozen lake.
Celeste and Evan did a lot of sledding together. Evan LOVED It.

| Just look at that face |
 |
| I love this pic of Evan. He is all bundled up in his snow gear. |

| Going down the hill. The lake was the best place for playing in the snow!!! |

| Gabriel and Nathan are quite a pair! |

| My handsome boy. |
Cynthia also turned 19 on January 7th. We took her out to dinner for her birthday. Where has the time gone. I remember she was 3years old when I first met her. In January Cynthia was living with her mom in Citrus Heights and going to the local community college. We are so proud of her.
February 2011
February was a hectic month. Gabriel had his 10th birthday party. I can't believe my baby boy is in double digits now. Evan had a rough month in February, he ended up with 2 respiratory infections with asthma. He was on 6 different courses of antibiotics from November to February.

Evan and Celeste spent a lot of time in the backyard swinging. Evan would count 1-2-3 and then they would swing.

March 2011
March was a good month as well. Rudy, Cynthia and Gabriel headed up to camp Alta for the weekend. There was soo much snow. Evan and I hung out at home.
April 2011
Evan started his 3rd season of Rivercats Independence field baseball. He again loved it. We missed a few games due to illness and the crazy weather we had in the spring months. I love seeing Evan get to play a game that he loves. I enjoy seeing our friends and their kiddos as well. We have a great group of families who play baseball. Evan got to visit with the Budweiser Clydesdales when they were visiting at Project RIDE. We had Easter of course and then Evan got to ride his bike too. It was amazing to see all of the progress he has made on the bike in the couple years he has had it.

The Budweiser Clydesdales came to Project Ride and we got to go visit them.
In this pic Evan is trying to call a cat to come to him. He is so cute. |

 |
| Evan was a lot slower as he had to set his basket down and then put the egg in it. Rudy ended up just holding his basket for him. |

| The weather was so nice we pulled out Evan's bike. He has made huge strides this year in riding his bike. He even had a cast on. |
May 2011
What can you say about May? I think at this point I was concerned with Evan being so tired, he was falling asleep in school & not wanting to go play outside. We did numerous tests and figured out that he has a low thyroid. He is on medication for that and it has helped for sure. May 20th was the last day of school for Gabriel and some other friends. So I mowed the lawn and then turned on the sprinklers and that got the kids asking to play in the sprinklers and then we turned on the hose. It was so fun to see kids playing outside and being kids.
 |
| Evan got a hold of the hose and nobody was safe. LOL |
May 29, 2011 was the Angel day for our dear sweet friend Dylan. His Mom and Dad asked that all of his friends and family blow bubbles to honor his memory. We could not make it to the cemetery to be with everyone so we did our bubbles from home. We will always remember him.
June 2011
 |
| One of the highlights of our time in June was going to Six Flags with our friends the Kiesels. It was so much fun. |
 |
| Gabe and Evan on the swings |
 |
| Evan was so excited to drive the train, I felt bad for the other kids in the engine because Evan was pulling the bell rope the whole time. |
 |
| Evan and Connor patiently waiting for lunch. |
 |
| Evan must have thought he was in heaven with this huge bag of popcorn. |
 |
Another for Sweet Dylan. Evan is trying hard to blow the bubble on his own.
Well, I think I will end this post now and update the rest of the months in another post. |
