My Favorite Kids!

I have the best kids in the world.  Well.... my world anyway.  There is my oldest daughter, Amber, who is so determined and focused on her life and making it a success.  Then my number 1 son, Weston, who has a genuine, authentic energy that penetrates the heart like no other.  Baylee...my youngest daughter who is my grounding force and light at the end of a miserable tunnel the last five years.  Finally Mr. Cam, who brings a world of peace, love and joy with a touch of angelic proportions.  I can't help but feel that being with Cam is like being in the presence of God Himself.  If you could imagine for a minute what it would be like to be around people who are determine, focused, authentic, genuine, grounding and a true example of God then you would agree with me that it is heaven on earth for me to be with my children.  There is no other place I would rather be.  Something that is even more overwhelming is the fact that I have been entrusted to be the mother of such incredible children.  I thank God every day for these blessing I call my children.  They are not only good to me but to each other.  I often wonder how I have been so lucky to have them.  Then I realize how much I am loved by something higher.  Something more powerful to give me such blessings to carry me through this journey of life. Let the blessings flow.

A Creed For Babies With Down Syndrome:

My face may be different
But my feelings the same
I laugh and I cry
And I take pride in my gains
I was sent here among you
To teach you to love
As god in heavens
Looks down from above
To him I’m no different’
His love knows no bounds
It’s those here among you
In cities and towns
That judge me by standards
That man has imparted
But this family I’ve chosen
Will help me get started
For I’m one of the children
So special and few
That came here to learn
The same lessons as you
That love is acceptance
It must come from the heart
We all have the same purpose
Though not the same start
The Lord gave me life
To live and embrace
And I’ll do as you do
But at my own pace

Update

Down Syndrome with bless 1 in 800 births this year.

And what a blessing it has been. Cam is now 17 months old and so full of love and joy. He is learning to walk and is so proud of himself every step he takes. I have had the blessing of sharing Cam with the world and seeing how people light up when he enters the room. I spent the day at Paul Mitchell Beauty School with Amber this week. I had all I could do to keep track of Cam and who had a hold of him next. He brought out such love and joy and inner child of all that he came in touch with.

While we where there Amber transformed Weston for her school project. She did an amazing job and I am so proud of the woman she has become. Thank you Paul Mitchell in Provo for educating Amber and for loving Cam.
