A few more days of fun!

Physical therapy session this morning! Brayden is making such progress with his strength in sitting to standing...he LOVES to stand and his PT says that his feet are looking STRONG and sturdy...often they worry about the weight on Down syndrome or low tone kiddos ankles and them needing braces to help stabilize and at this time we are going to just monitor Brayden until he is pulling to stand on his own. His balancing is awesome too...she had him on a rocker platform today and he was able to keep his balance without falling over...We are so proud of him...he even had the distraction of my 4 other kids with me at therapy...but they were very well behaved. Here are some pics from today...

Fathers Day at the Woodward Park

We had a great time with Jared's parents and grandparents at the park...the kids played frisbee, bocce ball, baseball, soccer and ate a picnic lunch...the weather was beautiful and it was very relaxing...Thanks for the fun idea and putting this together Grammy!

As we were relaxing, we kept hearing this little "Meow!, Meow!" so the kids and I went on a search and noticed this tiny little kitten crying out of the BBQ...yes, the brick BBQ...he was so scared, so we pulled him out and the kids were of course BEGGING us to take him home. Well, Jared hates CATS, so I knew this was NOT going to happen...Cody said a prayer that he would find a home for the kitten before we left...and guess what, WE DID! Some dad swooped him up and took him home...(hopefully!) Anyway he was great entertainment for about 1/2 hour. We named him B..B..Q..



Here is an awesome day with his 3 kids!

I wanted to share a few photos from our Littlest Heroes Project that were taken a month or so ago...For any of you who haven't checked out this wonderful website...it is www.littlestheroesproject.com Our photographer came from about an hour away and donated her time to take our photos...She was wonderful and actually has a brother with Down syndrome...so it was neat to hear her experiences too. I can't wait to put some of these pics up on our walls.

Can I just say, I am SOOOO thankful for all I have! I love my little family with all my heart and can't thank all those around us for their love and support as well. Our journey has been nothing but a blessing. I sometimes get so overwhelmed with all we are into, but at the end of the day...I am so blessed to be able to be so involved with Brayden's development and enjoy the time with my kids...and it all couldn't be possible without my wonderful husband...:)
