I don't really know how this blog will pan out. I'm just gonna roll with it and see what happens!
It was a blast. Ashton went in the water screaming, all the way out screaming, all the way back in screaming, then screaming for more! HE LOVED IT. Such an amazing thing for these kids! He still does not have the language to tell me he had fun, or how he felt riding those waves, but I could see it in his eyes!

Is the month of April.
Please, if you are not educated, get educated. Chances are with 1:150 being diagnosed you will know and love someone with Autism.
That's all folks :)
Life has been so busy here! I just wanted to come by and wish you all a wonderful new year! I hope the best for all of you!
Hugs,
Michele
Also, I do all my blogging over at MySpace. If we know each other or you're apart of the Autism community, come join me there. My profile is kept private only because I post a lot of pictures of my beautiful family!

Well, today is Cinco De Mayo! I'm excited. We're going to BBQ some Carne Asada and I'm making Taco Bean Dip/Soup. I plan on drinking lots of Mexican beer and a few shots of Tequila...should be one hell of a night!! Anyhoo~
Things are going good here. My Mom's flying in next week. The kids, Nick, and I going to Disneyland! Then the best part though, my mom's giving Nick and I a MUCH NEEDED vacation. We're going on a road trip to Vegas for 4 days!!! No kids! YEAH! I hope I remember more than just the ride there and back ;-) We plan to party our 4 days away!!
Ashton and Amelia both had birthday's this month. Amelia caught a horrible stomach bug, so we had to cancel her party :-( So, Disneyland is going to be her big birthday surprise, she has NO CLUE we're going! I can't wait to get a picture of her face when we pull up and she sees where we are at!
Ashton is doing better at school. He's having a bit of trouble with the picture schedule. We can't use PECS until September, so the ST is pretty bummed about that. I honestly don't think he NEEDS to start PECS now anyway. He's doing awesome with the PRT. He has picked up some bad behaviors from the other child in his class. Now, lucky me, has a child that screams an ear piercing scream all the time!! UGH I'm not sure if this other child hits himself or not, but Ashton has started hitting himself really hard when he gets mad and today hit his Therapist quite a few times. I need to ask his teacher what' going on there, or if this is just something totally new.
Well, I got to run. I have a Mexican feast to get together! Feliz Cinco de Mayo
Okay, so I know....the beer I'm drinking isn't Mexican in the picture...that was another night, but very appropriate for the occasion ;-)
