NEW TEE SHIRT DESIGN!
NEW TODDLER TEE SHIRT!
NEW STUFFED ANIMAL – LADDER TO HEAVEN DOG!
WORDS SAY LADDER TO HEAVEN!
It’s been a while since I have blogged. Christmas got in the way. My mommy got a job at Stella’s! I’ve just been busy! So, what have I been doing…
I cleaned my room.
I watch my movie in my room. I got a portable DVD player for Christmas!
I go to school. I went on a field trip yesterday to the symphony. We walked and we walked and we walked.
I’m tired today.
Tomorrow I have a party at school! We get to take a pillow, blanket and stuffed animal. We had to do all our homework to get the party.
My mom’s job is at Stella’s house. She helps Stella make dinner. She hangs out with them. She takes Stella to the doctors. I like Stella. (note from mom – I am now a support person for individuals with disabilities. I love it. Lily loves the ladies I work with and they love her.)
We got new shirts made! Henry designed my new shirts! I like my new shirts!
We got new Heaven Dogs to sell too! They have tee-shirts too!
That’s it!

I got lots of cool things in the mail lately!
I got my blanket from Chandos from the T21 Traveling Afghan Project. My blanket is awesome. Thank you Chandos!
I got my new Ladder to Heaven Dogs that we are going to sell in my store! It has the design, my brother Henry made, on the tee-shirt! Thanks Henry and Linda at Stuff A Pal
Today I got pictures from Jenna Dewan-Tatum my co-star in The Jerk Theory and her husband Channing Tatum! Jenna’s cute, she’s nice to me. Channing is handsome! He’s a good man. Thanks Jenna and Channing!
I like getting things in the mail! That’s it!

When Lily comes home from school she is suppose to show me her homework folder. Lately she’s been telling me she has no homework (which I believed – LOL!) But yesterday, after I had a meeting at school to go over her IQ test results, when I asked about homework she said “I did it on the bus!” Oh no… I said let me check it. Without hesitation she handed over her homework. She actually did pretty good, but take a good look at the top right hand side of her paper.
She’s smart enough to forge her parent’s names!!!!

Dear Santa,
Thank you for coming to our Down syndrome party. I had fun. I’m glad Ben and Bradley got to come. It was fun to see my friends. My boyfriend Skyler was there, different Ben was there, Ivy was there and Natalie. I liked the dance a lot! I liked the boys that danced with me. The food was good. I want to remind you what I want for Christmas. I want to get a doll. That’s it.
Love, Lily
Note from mom – On Wednesday we went to a wonderful Christmas Party! A young man had contacted me to see if there was anything he could do for the UDSF to earn his Eagle Award in Scoutung. Well… Let’s just say he earned his Eagle in grand style! He along with his family, friends, fellow scouts threw a big bash! With Santa, games, crafts, dancing, and brownies with peppermint ice cream and hot fudge sauce! I love these kids. I have loved being the president of the UDSF. I just feel so honored to be part of all this. I have a picture of Bradley and want so badly to post it, but I won’t. I feel strongly he needs to be with us.
P.S. I guess the card thing in the last post is no longer working. Rosie was kind enough to let me know and sent a link where you can send cards that will really reach soldiers! Thanks Rosie!

When doing your Christmas cards this year, take one card and send it to this

If we pass this on and everyone sends one card, think of how many cards

When you are making out your Christmas card list this year, please include
the following:

Tonight was my Christmas program for my Special Needs Primary and Mutual. I was an angel. I sing. I didn’t giggle. I just sit there and sing. I lead the music! (Surprised Mom and Dad!) I was good at it. I played the chimes. I’m pretty good at it. My grandpa and grandma come. We ate cookies after. Cookies good! All my friends come and watch us. People clapped for us. That’s it.
Parent Teacher Conference yesterday and as we got into the car to leave Lily stated “I’m a pretty fart smeller!” (very old family joke)
Translation – I’m a pretty smart feller!
Yes, she is. She is doing great this year, it is fun to see things clicking.

School pictures can bring back the best and worst memories for a child, but for the parents they are always beautiful and precious.

Lily’s Halloween Story
Received a call from Lily’s teacher yesterday.
Huh oh what did she do wrong!?!
Nothing!
Miss Ralph just needed my permission to test Lily. She was going through all her files and discovered that some tests hadn’t been done since preschool… Oh the Utah school system… Anyway, Miss Ralph is on top of things and Lily will be up to date and ready to go when she enters Junior High (I’m crying, typing Junior High!) in 1-1/2 years.
Miss Ralph also wanted me to ask Lily to write her full name, address, and phone number without any prompts from me. My smart daughter wrote it all out! We will never be able to move now but I am a proud mama!

This month we are featuring Sarah’s Covenant Homes. As always for every Lily’s Life is Great! Tee-Shirt that we sale 21% of the profits will go Sarah’s Covenant Homes. Truthfully we have not sold a shirt yet, but we have brought more awareness to the organizations we have featured and that means a lot too. Wasatch Champions said they had people contact them because of us, so we are very happy about that.
We have also been able to give away our shirts for other fundraisers which also helps. There are a lot of good people doing wonderful acts of kindness for people in need. Check out these current fundraisers – A Dollar for Hope and Joy and The T21 Traveling Afghan Project. These kind of things warm my heart.
Now back to Sarah’s Covenant Homes. Please take a minute to visit their website. If you can’t buy a tee-shirt or sponsor a child you can offer a prayer. A simple heartfelt prayer for the children.
