First Downs for Down Syndrome

This is a poster my son's school did to promote First Downs for Down Syndrome. It turned out pretty good!

Deanna Rose Children's Farmstead

I took the boys and grandpa to a place called Deanna Rose Children's Farmstead, named after Deanna Rose, an Overland Park, Kansas police officer killed in the line of duty. It is a huge petting zoo with several play areas for kids and picnic areas! It is an incredible place. It is free to go through, however they exist on donations! If you live in or travel through the Kansas City area, please go there. It is just as fun for adults as it is children! They are located at 138th & Switzer. We even found money while there and turned it in (because, of course, it wasn't ours) and we were afraid someone might not be able to buy snacks to eat or food for the animals.

Traveling Titanic Exhibit

This past Thursday night, we visited the Traveling Titanic Exhibit at The Legends Shopping Center in Kansas City, Kansas. It was free and it contained approximately 50 artifacts from the sunken vessel. I've visited the museum in Branson twice, and am in awe everytime I visit. My youngest son LOVES the Titanic. He watches the movie everytime it's on tv and he really enjoyed our visit to the museum two years ago. Here's a pic of the trailers the exhibit is touring in.

Happy Birthday to my angel on earth!!!

Happy 17th Birthday Stephen! We all love you!
