Cerebral Palsy Awareness Day


Saturday March 20 is Cerebral Palsy Awareness Day.
March is Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month
I hope you take the time to read about CP today and spread the word why we need more research and awareness. CP is a lifelong disease that requires intense daily support and extreme financial and emotional investment. Families and siblings persevere every day to address the needs of the family member with CP. Let's all give our support and wear green today in honor of those with Cerebral Palsy and their families and pray and hope for more research to give those with CP a better future and a more independent and fullfilling life.

We will be wearing green at our house in honor of Our Niece Marisa, and Josh's cousin Matthew, as well as others we know affected by CP.

COME ON ALREADY SPRING!





We are so ready for spring at my house. The kids want to go out and play but it is too muddy and the yard is a mess. I am sure we are going to be spending a lot of our spring and summer cleaning the place up after the rath of Marley and Winter.

We did have an awesome day out Monday, so we decided we had to get out. We went to NA NA & PA PA's to play with Lucky because Alyvia said he needed some attention and our kitty was getting enough and Lucky wasn't. So off we went. Lucky was happy and the kids got to play in the mud for a while which they loved. Then we went on a walk around town with Robin and Sienna. Those two girls are gonna be trouble some day I know it. And Asher follows right behind them trying to do everything they do.

Some cute new pics I took today


I got a new camera about a month ago and it is awesome, but I have not had hardly any time at all to mess with it. I am still reading the manual and learning about it and have a lot to learn. I also got some new photo editing software this weekend, and messed around with it a little. These are all just beginner pics, but I thought they were cute. And I really hope to mess with my camera and software more soon, and get some great pics of all the kiddos.


These are of LILY. She is sporting her new hat and flowers made by my sister Kelley


I got a bunch for Alyvia and hope to take some pics of hers soon. They are so awesome and you can clip and unclip your flowers or bows to use different ones for different outfits.






This is funny. I got it in an email
