On March 27 Lily had her wisdom teeth removed. Yes, she is young for this procedure but being the unique one of a kind girl she is her bottom wisdom teeth were the size of an 18 year old person and had they grown anymore could have become entwined in her facial nerves. So out…
Tonight we fed the missionaries. It has been a while since we have actually had the missionaries in our home. Every time I would sign up something would happen (more like one of us were sick) and I would have to take them a pizza. I found out tonight that they mostly get pizza to…
I came across a post on Facebook the other day that really got to me. A mom was stating how she and her child are disability snobs. The mom stated that her child prefers to stay away from crowds, which I completely understand. But, then the mom said the child didn’t like to be in…
I have a confession to make and it’s embarrassing. Lily can’t read. Well she can read at about a 1st grade level. But that is not the level I want her reading at. I have failed her. I have not put in the time I should have to have her reading at her best level….

The reception was held at Rice Eccles Stadium and it was beautiful. Brynn’s mom did…
If you don’t know already we adopted Lily. At that time we knew nothing about Reece’s Rainbow. I don’t think it was even organized then. Anyway, there are several wonderful families that are adopting children with Down syndrome through this organization. I look through the pictures from time to time wishing. I know this is…
This past week was Young Women in Excellence for our ward’s young women. This is a very special night for the Young Women as they are recognized for their talents and accomplishments in their Personal Progress for the year. Lily was able to show off her talents and abilities in swimming, and track and field…
