Great Weekend

I just have to say that this weekend has been quite the experience. Starting off with the Buddy Walk and supporting those special kids then today at church the special needs people were the program. It was so neat to hear them speak and sing. They have such a special spirit and more than once today brought tears to my eyes (I was not the only one).

Buddy Walk 2010

It was Buddy Walk time of year again and as usual we had a blast! It's always so much fun to go and support our family and friends and see the special down syndrome kids and spend some time with them.

This year for the entertainment they had Rachel Coleman from Signing Time. Our kids loved this! They watch Signing Time on almost a daily basis and loved seeing her and Leah and Hopkins in person.

Morgan got picked to go up on stage and help her with the "Colors" song. Her job was to sign the word purple. She did it in this picture but while they were singing the song she just stood there and looked cute...maybe they were singing too fast for her to keep up I don't know. But she had fun and even got an autographed card from Rachel and Leah.

Rachel led the walk and afterwards we were able to get a photo of her and the kids.

Preschool Fieldtrip

Today Morgan went on a fieldtrip to the Bluffdale Firestation with her preschool class.

Last Camping Trip for the Year

I'm a couple of weeks late on getting this posted but here are a few pictures from our camping trip at Trial Lake.

The kids roasting marshmellows. We rushed to do this in the gap between rain storms this night.
Think she's having fun fishing? I can't tell...

He just likes to play in the water.

Andy had to go clear out to this rock just to untangle my fishing line that got stuck on it.

The kids all tuckered out!

Mini Golf

This was the kids first time Miniature golfing. They had fun and so did we watching them.

Morgan got a "Hole in One" on this one. We were so excited for her.

Kids are Cute

I recently had some eye surgery done and when I came home with the patch on my eye, the kids were obviously concerned. Morgan knew I was going to the Doctor but when she saw me she said "what did he do". When I told her the doctor had to fix my eye she said "did he take it out?" I laughed and told her "no".



When we got home I was laying in bed when she came in and sat down by me playing games and barbies. A couple times she would ask me "Mom, are you ok? Do you need anything?" I would say I'm fine and she would continue playing. Ayden would come in, look at me, say "you ok?" and when he was satisfied with the answer I gave him he would leave.



They were really concerned but all was well and I'm glad they love me.

First Day of Preschool

Today was Morgan's first day of preschool. She has been so excited since the day she met her teacher months ago. This will be a great step for her in preparing her for Kindergarten (yikes!) and I am excited for her.
