End the Word

Today is  Spread the Word to End The Word Awareness Day
Most people don’t think of this word as hate speech, but that’s exactly what it feels like to millions of people with intellectual disabilities, their families and friends. Using “retard” as a term of derision is just as cruel and offensive as any other slur.

Forbidden Fruits

This weekend I was at Walmart buying baby food and as I was leaving I came across Sweetheart Conversation Hearts–Twilight edition!  I had to buy some because I am a twilight freak.  The are not the greatest candy (actually they taste kindof like sweaty armpits smell…) so I don’t recommend buying them but I got [...]

Party!!

Yesterday we went to Mack’s 1st birthday party  She is this absolutely adorable girl who is in Jaxson’s gymboree class.   She is such a cutie and I secretly want Jaxson to fall madly in love with her   Anyway, it was a lot of fun and I am glad we were able to go.  But this seriously got [...]

Big Boy

Jaxson has been quite the walker lately–except he had no idea how to stand up on his own (without the help of a couch, chair, ottoman, toy, etc..).  He would crawl over to something, stand up and then walk.  Well yesterday he figured it out.  He now can stand up all by himself.  Yay!!!!  When [...]

Wardrobe update!

As I was getting dressed this morning, I realized that I am wearing a sweater that I have had since I was a freshman in highschool and my jeans I got when I was a senior!  I seriously need to go shopping and get some clothes made in 21st century!

Kisses

STRESS

Stupid West Virginia!  I had you in my elite eight!!!!!  Thank you for screwing me

New Kids #3

So. Much. Fun. 
Our 100 level seats actually turned out to be really good.  The venue that we were at in Baltimore is pretty small so the 100 level seats were really close to the floor.  It was basically the same concert as the last two but they added a few new songs, switched up the [...]

Jaxson’s newest friend

Today we were able to stop by our friends, Mike and Laura, and see their new baby, John.  He is only 5 days old and he is such a little peanut!  I really can’t believe that Jaxson was ever that small and John was actually bigger than Jaxson was when he was born–so crazy because [...]
