We have been busy these last few days...everyone has gotten over the colds...I had 2 great presentations last week. It was really rewarding to be able to speak out to those that are seeking to become teachers in Early Childhood Development for Special Needs...they are such wonderful people. I am definately NOT a public speaker now...but I do feel like I can say I did a good job in getting my story out there and message to others about Down syndrome.
Well, this past weekend was busy full of fun times. Warning: MANY PICTURES IN THIS POST! The following pics are Brayden showing off how he can sit independently now and play with his toys...He thinks he is so big doing this...and his sister couldn't be more proud of him! She is ALWAYS right there with him, just in case he falls...lol.
Brayden giving Kaylee a smooch!
Brayden LOVES this toy...it spins and makes all kinds of noises and lights go off everywhere! Definately recommend this toy...it is made by V-Tech and sells for $12.99 at Target...
He has figured out how to pound on it to make it spin...such a smart boy.
Monday morning I took the kids to a birthday party for a little boy I watch at BOUNCE-U...and immediately after we met my brothers and families and my mom , and our friends at Cal-Skate...so needless to say, my kids were OUT by 6:45pm that night...NICE!
Cody and his best friend Corbin skating....
My mom skating it up with Kaylee...she and my mom skated the entire 2 hours! Go MOM! I couldn't last that long! It is amazing to me that I use to go to this place as a teenager and skate my heart out...not so much anymore!
Little Brayden trying his crawling moves out!
This was only 1/2 the kids at the birthday party we went to...the other 1/2 ...well...you can only imagine trying to get all the toddlers and babies in the picture...didn't quite happen. But we sure had fun!
Brayden hanging out at the birthday party! He is such a trooper...gone all day and didn't cry once!
Chloe and Kaylee...I watch her and her brother...these girls have so much fun together!
Our friend Heather and her daughter Maile at the top of the slide...
Kaylee climbing the spider web thingy...that's what they called it! I called it a death trap for parents!
Cody climbing too...he is just like a spiderman...no problem MOM!
My two little sweethearts! Do you notice the gap in Cody's front baby teeth...they are both loose and the permanent teeth are spacing out his baby teeth! Jared and I are becoming afraid of how big his two front teeth may be like...YIKES! Only a few more weeks and I'm sure I will have lots of photos to share....lol
My 3 little valentines.... Jared made reservations for us and another couple at Flemings restaurant...(my favorite) and so my mom and her fiance came and babysat for the night. The kids were so excited...they wanted to bake a cake and decorate...so I helped with the cake but they did the decorations on their own...so cute! They handmade TONS of hearts, cut them out and taped them everywhere! Here are some pics to capture their creativity!
Brother and sister LOVE...
Love how symetrical they got these hearts!
Center of the kitchen table....they said for the candles to sit on top of....
Hearts lined the counter tops...such fun!
Jared and I enjoyed this night...dinner was a lot of fun with Jeff and Christy! The movie was definately not one I would ever see again...Revolutionary Road...HORRIBLE...but we all had fun anyways! I love spending time with my husband and am so thankful that I have a great man in my life forever! He is my best friend! So, Jared...if you are reading this....I love you ! Hope you all had a fabulous Valentines Weekend...now I am off to PT for Brayden and will have to bring the camera along for that as well...
