Sam's 15th Birthday
Sam's 15th birthday was a bowling party. It was fun and Spencer bowled for the first time. He did really well since the bumpers were up. We all did. Samantha wanted a WV football field for her cake. It was good and she enjoyed it! Happy Birthday little girl, you are growing way to fast! Stay Strong to your beliefs!

Mike's B'day
Spencer loves celebrating birthdays! Not sure if he knows this is Dad's b'day or not, but he has fun! He loves giving him cards and helping him blow out his candle. I made him a homemade red velvet cake with cooked icing. It was really good, so Mike and Spencer say. This has become a tradition, taking Spencer's pic with his Daddy on Daddy's b'day. I have one for every year since 2001! Happy Birthday Mike, Spencer and I love you with all of our hearts!

Camp Stargazer video made smaller
Hopefully this made it smaller so all the pic shows up on the screen! Enjoy
Camp Stargazers
Wow What a weekend retreat! This camp is provided by Camp Greenville YMCA and Greenville County Parks and Recreational District. What a hugh thank you to them for providing this opportunity to families who have children with Down Syndrome. It's a family camp, everyone in the family comes together to renew old friendships, make new ones and support! This is one place you don't have to make an excuse as to why you child does this or does that. The other family have been there, done that and have the t-shirt!!!
The activities are great. We did canoeing, hiked to Rainbow Falls, did a Parent Chat, Zip Lined, did campfire, marshmellows, singing, square dancing, and lastly a reflection service at Pretty Place Chapel. A great renewal weekend with lots of friends who because of Down Syndrome, many have become our closest friends. Thanks to the great volunteers @ the YMCA camp and also Camp Spearhead who give up their weekends to spend time with us and our children! They are outstanding young people!
Mike & I did the 2 mile hike down the mountain to Rainbow Falls. Spencer's counselor, Josh took Spencer to allow us to do this. Thanks Josh, you are a great person! This hike is one I would never had imagine me doing a year ago. WOW what an accomplishment for me personally! The hike was literally down across rock faces and curving along to reach this falls. Once there, tears filled my eyes at the beauty and wonder why some don't believe in God. When you see this there is no way that this beauty could be duplicated! Thank you God for a great weekend!
