Early Easter?

My sister-in-law Candi is an animal lover, she has been trying to convince her hubby BJ to get a rabbit since I've known them. Well last week her wish came true. They are now the proud owners of two little bunnies. Tanner and I went over to see the newest additions to the family yesterday. They are so cute, we held them and chased them all around the back yard. I don't think they enjoyed being chased though. Anyway they're very sweet and we're glad they have them because Tanner and I are not animal people, and now we can just go over and enjoy them at their house! Here are a few pics. They said they are both boys..... sh-sh-sh don't tell BJ and Candi but I'm hoping that one is a girl...... I love newborn bunnies when they're tiny little puff balls hopping around. Oh and also I would just love to see Bj freak when he has ten rabbits! Ha ha!

I Love St. Patrick's Day!

St. Patrick's Day is one of my favorite holidays!! I've even put an irish song that I really like on my playlist in honor of today. When I was little I would pretend I lived in Ireland..... Well I would pretend that I lived on the Ponderosa married to Little Joe. (for those of you that don't know, I was obsessed with the tv show Bonanza) But we had a summer house in Ireland that we would visit quite often. I would literally pack my suitcase and pretend that Joe and I were heading off, then I would ride my bike (my horse) and imagine that I was riding over the amazing green hills.

I know what you're thinking I must have been a lonely child with no friends..... But hey! I had lots of friends. I just really like Little Joe. (notice I didn't say liked, I'm still crazy about him.)

Ok back to the point of my post. I love St. Patrick's Day (even more since PS I Love You came out.) I go all out in my classroom, the Leprechaun comes and turns the kids water green, he leaves gold glitter and glittery green shamrocks everywhere. He leaves his footprints on the desks and white board and of course a treasure hunt that leads to a pot of chocolate gold coins.
That is one reason I look forward to having kids, it'll be a long time before I have them and they can appreciate the holiday but it will be so much fun having the Leprechaun come to our house.

I spent the day with Heather and the boys, Lucky Charms for breakfast then we were off in our green attire to this really cute little train park in Scottsdale. We had fun hanging out while the boys played and ate ice cream. It was a really fun day, thanks Heather for letting me join you guys!

Mother Worriors

I'm very hesitant to post this blog..... But here it goes. I DO NOT share my beliefs very often. If someone asks I will, but even then I usually hold back. Only because I don't ever want it to come across that I'm judging what someone else chooses to do. In all honesty I really don't give two craps how other people live their lives. BUT I've been so moved by this book that I felt I should share it. I had it at my desk during my Parent Teacher Conferences this week and was so surprised at how many of my student's moms had read the book and absolutely loved it. Not one of them has an autistic child, but they still loved it. It's about families that have "recovered" their children from Autism. Amazing book, these moms and some dads were told there was no hope for their children, nothing they could do. But they dedicated their lives to helping them. And they have! It's infuriating in some aspects, because the AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) won't even acknowledge it. Doctors lie to these parents and lie about everything but these amazing parents wouldn't listen, they did their own research and saved their children's lives. The saddest part for me is that once these kids are recovered they actually remember not being able to talk! It's like they were trapped in a shell, their minds were working but their little bodies wouldn't listen. It's a book about hope and love, the controversial side of it is that none of these children had any problems until they were vaccinated. The purpose of the book is to try to get the AAP to "Clean our Vaccines" Mercury is poison and it is acknowledged that a toxic does for a baby is 20 micrograms and the amount they are given on their first day of life is 250 micrograms. It is insane that they think every child will react the same way. They don't! Jenny McCarthy wrote it,(and I love her) it's filled with story after story written by parents that have been to hell and back with their kids. It makes me laugh that people are more willing to listen to their doctors (the ones that are making money off all of this) instead of listening to MOTHERS! Mothers that are living it, mothers that have all the proof they need right there in their arms. The book has made me realize that I want to be just like them. KNOW my children and know that I can help them even if I'm told I can't. So please understand that no body knows your kids better then you and if something doesn't seem right it probably isn't! Thanks! Love to you all!
