Sensory Friendly Movies

Taking the kids to the movies. This will be Kyan's first movie. Austism Society of America is doing Sensory Friendly Films w/ AMC theaters. We are going to see Disney Pixar's UP. It looks super cute.

This Week

Busy week this week. Summer camp at church, ballet at the YMCA and gymnastics.

Family Connection at EdVenture

Family Connection of South Carolina was offering free admission to EdVenture here in Columbia to childen with special needs and their families. They have a butterfly garden exhibit open. It was so much fun to see the kids reactions to the butterflies. Plus fun to play with my camera.

Last Day of School!!

Now what????

Busy, Busy, Busy

2 Birthday parties today. One of them at Chuckie Cheese's no less. Talk about a crazy day. I am waiting till tonight maybe a bottle of wine?

Zoo times 2

Both kids had school field trips to the Zoo today. I decided to go with Kyan's class as a chaperone since I had just went on a field trip to Kroger with Nevaeh.

Kyan's IEP

Kyan has done great his first year in preschool for kid's with autism. He will be going to ESY (Extended School Year) and will be in the same class next year. They are also talking that if he continues to do this well, he will be mainstreamed into regular kindergarten. Yeah Kyan!

Happy Anniversary!

Wow it has been 9 years today that I married Trey. Of course celebrating it alone isn't much fun. Maybe next year for our 10th we can do something fun!

Mom & Daughter Fondue Night

Nevaeh & I went to Mother/Daughter Fondue Night at the YMCA tonight. It was fun. We watched a movie "Ella Enchanted". Then she ditched me to play soccer with some other girls there. I took my camera put didn't take any pictures. :(

Yesterday

Kyan did great! He was pretty scared at first and kept saying he wanted to go home. He really didn't like Mickey, Minnie, Goofy & Donald. He kept crying when they came out. But the rest of it he loved. Not so sure he liked the Tinkerbell part, wasn't his scene like it was Nevaeh's. I spent a small fortune!!

Today

Taking the kids to see Disney on Ice Worlds of Fantasy. Little nervous taking Kyan to something like this. Nevaeh will do great, I am sure, but not sure how Kyan will react. Wish me luck!

Today

Nevaeh's going to a birthday party at her old gymnastic's place, Carolina Gymnastics. Then I have an adult scavenger hunt with church. Never been on one of these, so it should be fun!

Great Website & Book!!

I found an awesome website, Goodreads. And just finished reading an awesome book, The Shack by William P Young. It was a great book. It was hard at first to read because of what happens to his daughter. Having a young daughter made that part hard to read but once you got past that the rest was excellent.

Lake Carolina's Yard Sale Today

I LOVE this yard sale. I never get to finish the whole thing. Jennifer came with me to look for some stuff for the baby. Busy day! Have Autism Family Fun day with Richland School District 2 and ABA therapy too!

Pictures from Easter and Family

Here are some of my favorite pictures from over spring break and Easter.

Family

My sister and her kids are coming in to celebrate Easter with me and the kids. It is so great! I don't want to celebrate Easter alone!

Dying Eggs w/ Friends

Jennifer and Kameron came over today to dye easter eggs with us. Kameron absolutely loved it! He got a little crazy though and would throw the eggs into the dye cups!

Easter Egg Hunt at Church

The kids got a chance to hunt for eggs again today at church. Nevaeh was the only girl in her group!

Hunting for Eggs at School

I went to help out the teacher's at Kyan's school hide easter eggs for the kids. Kyan had a blast. Took longer for us to hide the eggs then it did for them to find them.

Spring Performance

Nevaeh's spring performance was tonight at Richland Northeast High. I was playing with my new camera and have come to realize that I need a zoom lens. They are just super expensive. Anyone have any suggestions on a good zoom lens??? Her dress was a total last minute thing. I never have any time to get anything done. So I left about half hour early for the performance to head to Gymboree to get it. Yes, I realize I am a Gymboree addict!
