The face that Only a Mom ... and grandma... can love

Dear Grandma,

Look what I did! Still want me? Well I am coming June 1-7!! Happy looking!!

Love Bubba






Have you noticed. Ty doesn't look like any of the other cousins. Max and Koy look alike, Kayden looks like dad, Lexi is her mother and Morgan like mom.. My kid... Black sheep?

The same old stuff

Life is busy busy in the warm sun! The weather is turning warm and is sometimes a little to warm for my fair haired little man.

Things we have been up to:

• Park
• Park
• playing in the hose
• playing in the sand box
• playing with rocks
• playing with Barney

I have taken a back burner to his therapy for right now. Sometimes it just gets to be to much for me. Don't get me wrong we haven't given them up completely we have stopped going three days a week to one and have cut down to 2 PT sessions a week, Speech and OT and we still go to "school" and have an eye therapist. So yeah... Mom was getting to much.

Sometimes a person needs some time.. ya know!

Holy Toddlehood!

My Monkey is getting so big and we are absolutely amazed at how great he is. He is so amazing and so much fun.

He was the recepient of 20 new Barney Videos. Thanks eBay!





He is looking so BIG! We are amazed out how he acts and how big he LOOKS!! He is looking like a toddler.. A real Toddler.

Another installment

Although he doesn't eat a lot, when he eats he wears it all!! He is getting to be such a big kid. What will we do when he is all grown up!!

A new book!

I "ordered" a book through the Emily Anderson Center here in Phoenix. I wanted to attend a conference on this book. It was put on by the FBC. Taking it one chapter at at time and do the small activity suggestions at the end of each chapter. It is a great book and anyone that feels they want to learn about how people "live" with a child that has a disability I would recommend it. It is VERY helpful in understanding why we feel the way we do. Maybe it will give people some insight into who I am.

Anyway, I just finished Chapter one and the activity it has you do is list five things that your child has done this week that made you smile. So I thought I would list them here.

1. Just saying his name makes me smile. Honestly, I can't go a day or a minute when I am with him and I can't help but smile when he is there.

2. Watching him try REALLY hard to change the DVD's himself. He doesn't get them in the "hole" but he tries so hard and is so proud when he changes it.

3. When Barney pops up on the screen he gasps. Then he crawls over and gasps either at my feet or at my bed or wherever I am. It's like he is telling me look mom .. its Barney. I have to say Is that Barney Tyler before he will go back to the movie.

4. Swimming. Although he was pretty crabby that day he was still oh so cute!!

5. Standing in his room after I get home from work to check if he is still breathing. Just standing there watching him. He is the sweetest most amazing little boy.

Summer Fun?

It seems to be Summer here in the Sun BUT until the water hits 113 it comes out cold. But Monkey didn't seem to mind to much!

Random pictures

So Monkey and I have been sick. I should have known that we were going to get sick. Tuesday I thought I was going to die. I chalked it up to anxiety but for 2 more days I had a tummy ache...

Anyway... here is some pictures of Monkey enjoying the weather before we made it under the weather

This is MONKEY after his play group!! He always does a craft and it always involves paint. He loves it though. So that is all that matters. We always stop an get a burger for lunch that day to so he has Ketchup!! (His fav)0n his face.

Monkey is in LOVE with Bubbles so we have to blow them a million times and the WHOLE time we are out there! He also plays with Paint while we are out there. He thinks the paint is hair gel and always puts it in his hair. He always gets so dirty and has so much fun. He is the best and cutest little boy in all of Arizona and possibly the world ( If I do say so myself.) My favorite... is his little feet.. Dad took these as we were all ready for bed. What cute little man!!!!

Wordless Wednesday

The BEST Bubbles...

I apologize for the lack of an actual picture of Monkey but he LOVES bubbles. He will try really hard to get the wand into can. But best of all how he "blows" them. He doesn't but he sure does eat them. He sticks the whole wand into his mouth and then says "ahh"

I will try and capture the best smile on earth, trying to eat the best bubbles on earth.


Try em.. Gazillion bubbles.... AMAZING. Plus, everyone smiles with bubbles around.

His favorite game

So Monkey has a game. He plays it all the time. Today while I was watching TV he was playing this game. He opens the door and screams, smiles and then shuts the door. SO CUTE!!!
