Mikhail - Christmas Tux

Mikhail... He is so handsome in this tux!  Even though this picture was taken for the Christmas play he was in as the beginner speaker.  He is such a smart kid.  Jumping2nd year of preschool and went into kindergarten.  he turned 5 before this picture.  (don't look at picture date - camera is possessed).  Now i have tons of pictures of Mikhail but this one is my favorite!

Jsyden at Sedgewick park play area

The faster.. the higher.. the better..  Jayden loves this park.  Originally this park was intended for special needs kids.  as this is the most coolest playground anywhere!!  the pic below does it no justice to what is really available at this park in Wichita, ks

Just the walk wayI took pics from.  it goes in all directions!!

jayden and food therapy

Is it worth trying for a marsh-mellow??  Jayden, 6 as you may not know is going to heartspring for Food therapy.  He has issues eating. It's the sensory in his mouth that he has problems with.  we recently started this program.  This I think is the 2nd visit.  we have to try a new food each week be it if we taste, swallow, lick or chew it.. it is a start....

dipping this pretzel (which he likes) into the ranch dip (which is eww..) was a challenge.  but for several marshmellows - we tried it.. gagged a little but with many attempts.  we did it.

madison

Madison.. a redhead and a beauty!  Shy as can be BUT feisty in disguise!!  Madison is in 1st grade.  She loves to be rough and tough!  Loves to fish and has the patience that even i don't have!!

a tooth grows back in where the first one fell out!  She sure is growing up!!

Shayanna at 1 day old to almost 2.5 yrs old

look ay my grandbaby.. just think she is all grown up and so miss. Independent!  Her speech isn't there but she definetly understands what you are asking her.  Just last summer she was afraid of the trampoline and NOW she just loves it!!  can't get her off!  She has been potty training for months now so I am hoping that by her 3rd birthday she will be done completely!!  She is still a grandmas's girl.  aww.. to my heart she is

Shayanna at 1 day old on 27 November (which on this day was thanksgiving!  Born at 10pm ish on the 26th.  she is the first grandbaby to be born on a Wednesday!  All the other grandkids were born on a Thursday..

Autism walk on 2nd April 2011

Since Jayden has been diagnosed with Autism and receiving services through Heartspring.. Walking and raising money has become that much more important.  Kiana and Madison walked with us.  I think it was an eye opener to the many different types of kids that God has blessed us all with!

it's been a while

I've decided to go ahead and keep up with this blog...  let family know what we are doing..  so I hope you will pass this blog to family and friends
