Toy Story 3 on Ice came to the Sprint Center.  We all went and enjoyed the show.  Its amazing how they do all those things on ICE!   Even Ben was intrigued!

This is K.  The Beamish Family is leaving to bring her home instead of her being sent to an institiution, as many of the EE countries do when a child gets older. They are leaving SUNDAY!

Right now they are having a give away to help raise the money they need to travel.  You have the chance to win an IPAD, and help K get home!

Please, take a look.....

Ten things people with Down syndrome would like you to know

In Honor of World Down Syndrome Day


Ten things people with Down syndrome would like you to know

Saturday

Boy did we get some weather today!  We had a sudden downpour of HAIL! 
It was so much and so fast!  The kids came running..

 

Glad we were not doing anything outside!  The kids went our earlier to play but came in after 5 minutes because it was cold.  And Tomorrow is  supposed to be in the high 60's.  No wonder everyone gets sick! 

Well Sunday is the last day of Spring Break!  I cannot believe it went so fast.  I think the kids will say they had fun.  We had something to do everyday.  Boy am I tired!  Well, they did forget the sleeping until noon that I requested.

Not so sure about the green food for St Patrick's day..

Looks like Johnny is having beer, well it was Root Beer.

Updates

Sorry its been awhile since updating.  We have been keeping busy!  Today is Sunday and Johnny had a Karate tournament.  He competed in 5 events and took home some gold medals, a silver medal and a third place trophy!  I am so proud of Johnny!  Johnny has also come a long way with his trumpet playing.  I love hearing him play and knowing the songs!

Hurrah!

Practicing...

We've had some strange weather in Kansas.  Today is freezing, but Saturday and Friday was beaultiful!  The kids played outside and we went to park.  Had a great time and met lots of friends there as well. 

Ben has been doing great!  He is sitting up basically by himself!  He does fall over at some point, but its there!  He is eating great and is up to 19.8 lbs!  We went swimming at the IDC and he loved the water.  He kept sticking out his tongue to try and get some water.  Then decided to just put his whole head under.  It was so cute!  Ben loves when the older kids are home, so I know he is going to have a great week with them all on Spring break! 

Sitting!

Ben working in his therapy pants...

Maddie is playing indoor soccer and loving it!  She made some awesome saves last week at the game in goal.  I'm not even sure how she stopped some of those!  You heard the gasps coming from the stands.  Maddie is doing great at school and is working hard on preparing for her Communion in May! So proud!

Going to practice

Olivia is working hard at dance.  She will be in 3 numbers for the dance recital.  She is so excited!  Olivia is an awesome reader.  I love to hear her reading books to me.  Olivia loves to go to school as well.

Joey is Joey.  He loves to play around and dance as well.  Joey will be starting t-ball in April.  He cannot wait.  He begs for the kids to throw the ball to him in the backyard! 

Smile!
