When you are a Mom you get excited about the little things but they seem a lot bigger when your child accomplishes them!  Like today J went tinkle in the toilet!!  Yipeeee!!  He was so darn proud of himself too!  It is a start folks and I hope it happens again real soon!

Well sort of.  I found these perfect sized jars on clearance a little while ago and thought that they would be great for nut butter one day.

They have a picture of poinsettia’s on the lid.  But for 2.49 for 4 jars who cares!
This afternoon I decided it was time that I gave Ashley’s Roasted [...]

The time has come in our house to introduce J to the potty.  This morning J and I made a little trip to the store and got a few supplies to start the adventure.  A package of “big boy” pants (aka pulls ups), a little seat for the toilet and a timer.  We are [...]

My weekend has been pretty low key and laid back.  Friday night we enjoyed the nice summer weather we have been having by bbq’ing some hamburgers.
Of course they were served on the pretzel buns I purchased at the farmers market.
 
I topped my burger with Jack Cheese, spinach, tomato, red onion, pickles and mustard.  YUM!  We [...]

The 2nd part to our vacation was spent camping with the hubby’s parents.  When we got home from B.C. we only spent 24 hours at home and then we were off again!  It was pretty hectic!  We had to unload and then reload to head out to my in-laws the next day.  We store our [...]

Just returned a few days ago from 2 weeks of vacation time with my family.  I spent most of it unplugged and away from the computer and cell phone.  It was for the most part relaxing.  We started our vacation at the end of June by going to British Columbia.  We went to Silverstar Resort [...]

I can’t believe that is has been 7 years since we were married!  We were married on June 21st the first day of the summer the longest day of the year!  It was one of the best days of my life that I will never forget.  We had an awesome time!  But the last 7 [...]

On Saturday Devin, Jaxin and I did a 3KM walk for Ups and Downs.  It turned out to be a very lovely sunny day for it too!  Thank goodness because our weather has been pretty crappy thus far this spring!

This is a great association for people with Down Syndrome that we support and are [...]
