Moving Day

Today my blog is having a moving day, it's
not that I wasn't in like w/old blog, I just needed to nix the domain name. I could have just changed the web address, but I decided it would be a lot more fun to get creative. And by "creative" I mean waste my time.....and after all isn't fun the best thing to have?
So join me anytime for breakfast, I'll probably be making cocoa puffs

Last Wednesday Night

Last night at the Redman B-ball game my Children Of The Corn or COTC, were their usual charming selves. It was a lot of fun. First of all Kobe was OBSESSED with the man sitting in front of us. He would not leave him alone. the poor guy was bald on top and Kobe thought it was the most unusual thing ever. He kept rubbing the man's head like the man was Buddha and he was trying to gain good luck. Then he started to poke/tap with his finger at the shiny cranium. He kept looking at his head from every angle. Finally I got so tired of fighting him to leave this poor old man alone, that we switched seats to the front row. Things were much better from this bleacher cause he could run up and down the floor and follow the ball like he loves to do. Plus he likes to look at the crowd and gets super excited.
So there I was sitting on the bleacher watching Breylin Blackner and the Reds kick some Panther butt, when Kobe ran off. I thought he would come back, but he didn't. I ran after him and found him heading for the treat shack. When all of the sudden Jaxyn came running up to me but was not wearing a shirt. I thought she was under the bleachers playing with the kids from our ward? I picked her up & said where is your shirt? I was still chasing Kobe. I made it to the hallway and a group of teenagers told me that Jaxy's shirt was on the floor. I guess she was trying to get a drink from the fountain and got water on it. So she took it off and then danced for the crowd of kids laughing at her. meanwhile... I put her down to put her shirt back on her, and she ran off. I looked toward Kobe and he was mid climb onto the treat shack counter. I knew what he wanted and that was sour punch straws, he loves them. Since he had already ate 3pkgs I figured he was hyper enough for the night and wasn't going to sleep anytime soon . I had to make a choice, chase my shirtless girl, or get Kobe from bombarding the treat shack. I chose Kobe. I had to literally drag him back into the gym through a crowd of people (including the group of teens still laughing at us & probably thinking when I get older my kids are NEVER going to act like that) kicking and screaming. Which is better than if he would have made it inside. Luckily/unluckily Jax ran in front of the whole Cedar crowd and Cheyenna caught her and took her into the bathroom. I followed and finally put a shirt on that girl!
everybody seen her streaking and was laughing and probably shaking their heads thinking I'm glad I'm not that Lambeth girl or her parents!
All in all it was an eventful night and Cedar won so in your face Pine View!
BTW Breylin played an awesome game last week read Here if you like

Extremely Loud/ Touch

I always love to read books and watch films about autism. The books are true stories written by parents and professionals dealings with the children they love.They are extremely helpful, and give insight into what your child may or may not be feeling/doing.
These two are fiction and I hope that they don't focus too much on certain misgivings about autism. People with autism are like snowflakes, very similar, but not one is the same as another. That is why it can be so difficult to understand, diagnose, and also treat. I can't wait to see them both, they look great!
Movie: starring Tom Hanks, & Sandra Bullock
Fox TV: Starring Keifer Sutherland also Danny Glover who I hope at some point says
"I'm getting to old for this shit"

Stupid Underwear

My kids had been watching The Polar Express prior to Christmas, and their favorite line was "All I found was stupid underwear" So I kept telling them that the elf on the shelf, Clooney, was gonna tell Santa to bring them stupid underwear if they didn't behave. I guess he didn't tell him so I supplied the new drawers, & made them open them first. It didn't go over so well

Just Dance

Jaxyn's first dance recital was a hit even the part where she jumped off stage

Tiny Dancer

I am determined to make this girl learn choreography. She knows it, but she likes to dance her own way instead. Hopefully she will do as instructed on her next performance. I seriously doubt she will so don't get your hopes and dreams up too much.
