    My husband & I love starting our Sundays off with ice coffee & fabrats! But that's not all I've noticed on several other videos that Jace looks like he might have a touch of scoliosis and the reason I was able to point this out is because I have scoliosis myself I have 2 Harrington rods holding my spine in place so if I can save another child from going through that I will and that's the only reason I'm saying something you already might know he already maybe being treated for it but I saw it and I love you guys and I just wanted to make sure I said something we love you fabrats!!!!
