AWESOME new Ds website!

8:36 PM Posted In 5 Comments »
I know many of you have already blogged about this wonderful site, DowntownDs, but if you haven't checked it out yet, please do!

This site was created by Daniel Niblock, a father who has recently been blessed by an *extra* special little guy, Ozzie.

The site is full of great and useful information, as well as a blogwatch where we all can see who's blogging about what in the Ds community, a kidzone where there is an AWESOME video explaining what Down syndrome is in a way that is easy for children to understand, and SO much more.

Oh yeah...there's also a message board that I am sure will be very useful for a lot of us!

Anyway, just wanted to put that out there. I am pretty excited about this new site and I hope you'll all go check it out!

;)

Summertime Fun!

I recently took Cameron to the fountains where they have a super-fun splash pad for the kids. Cam had a blast and I was dying to run through the fountains myself except I don't know how well that would have went over with the other moms sitting around observing their children so I refrained.



This picture pretty much sums up cameron's feelings about the splash pad...

He was hysterical. What was even more funny was that it seemed ALL of the kids playing in the water only knew how to react in one way...by screaming uncontrollably with glee.


Gabby sat and watched for a bit but then it got so hot that I threw her in her bathing suit and took myself her out there to play. She wasn't all that impressed. It may have had something to do with the fact that I got sunscreen in her eye.
She rocked her first pair of pigtails.



Though I KNOW Cam had a lot of fun, he didn't last long out there. It was really too hot and having the sun beat down on you is tiresome...I know. So we left after about 25 minutes or so.
I think we'll make another trip later this week...maybe there won't be as many parents there and I'll be able to play too!

Thank you Paul and Taysia!

Fight Night!

This past Saturday we hosted UFC Fight Night...something Nguyen has been looking forward to for weeks. We always have a blast on fight nights but this year was extra fun because...


The men did all of the cooking!!

Look at this- not a single female in the kitchen!

The boys cooked an excellent dinner of carne asada tacos, spanish rice, chips and dips, and BEER!


And of course because they were *watching* a fight, they were inspired and actually challenged eachother.



Hmm.



And the ladies relaxed and watched the men make fools of themselves.
It was fabulous.



Nguyen, Danny, and Jay



As usual, whenever we host these types of shenanigans, we party way too hard and stay up WAY too late resulting in this:



and this



and this



I think the boys were playing pool?
We had a great time and can't wait for the next fight night!


Wordless Wednesday!

As you may have noticed from the ticker above, my beautiful princess will be undergoing open heart surgery in less than a month.

Kele offered to make a button for my girl and I think it turned out precious. So, if you would like, please grab it and post it on your blog in the sidebar or where ever you like...

We could use any and all prayers!

Thanks again, Kele!
