Master Cleanse

OK, call me crazy but I just started this master cleanse. It's a 10 day cleanse to help get rid of toxins and all the bad stuff that we build up in our body. A couple of years ago I would have thought you were crazy for doing something like this but now having a son with autism has really made me explore the body and how it effects us so much when we don't properly take care of it. I have been so sick all winter catching everything that is out there and I've finally decided to try this cleanse to see if it helps me feel better and keep feeling better. I've enjoyed reading this book and learning more about how our body needs to rid it's self from these toxins. I have been on a yeast/candida cleanse trying to get rid of all the yeast in my body so I thought it would be perfect to end that with this cleanse to make sure I get it all. Many people have yeast problems from years of antibiotics and eating foods that feed the yeast. Yeast can cause so much havoc to the body and by getting rid of it you can cure your self of many of your aliments. So really why I am posting this is so I have someone to account for. Since this isn't easy especially for someone who LOVES food, but I'm so sick of not feeling good. I'm ready to make the change. I have been off of bread and sugar for about 3 weeks with the yeast cleanse and am amazed how much better I feel. ( So I'm crossing my fingers and hoping I can make it 10 days. Today was pretty brutal, it took me about 1 1/2 hours to drink the salt water this morning. YUK! One day down 9 more to go!

Nat's 28!

It's Nat's Birthday, lets shout HURRAY! Here a few pictures that I love of my BFF Nat. I wish I lived in AZ so I could get my hands on some really good ones, but I don't so these will have to do.As you can see Nat's beautiful and a amazing Mom!
She is LOVED by all her friends!
She was a Beautiful bride
Although, she is dressed up like this as a joke, I know secretly she wishes she could wear this swim suit. Both me and Nat love to be comfortable! I think we got if from our Moms.
I can't think of a childhood memory that doesn't involve Nat. We were always together and loving every minute of it. Most pictures of me when I was younger had Nat next to me.

Nat I hope you have a great Birthday, I wish I was there to celebrate! I love you and am so grateful to have you in my life. Miss you!

A Big Bag Of Balls!

1 out of 3 kids in the US have sensory issues. This is a great way to get those senses going and help your child feel better centered. The OT we saw in AZ suggested we make a big bag made out of nylon and fill it up with balls for him to get into and get some of that energy out. Joseph absolutely loves it. Can you tell from that face, that he loves it!
He's in heaven. He will play in this bag for a long time and I really feel like it helps him calm down.
John not so much
The nylon of the bag makes it great because of the stretch so if gives even more input into the body.
So if you look closely you will already see a rip in it. I learned the hard way you should double stitch it.

Cornell Indoor Track

Cornell Indoor Track is coming to an end so I thought I would post some of the pictures I have. This is Todd finishing his race.
This is Todd and Jeremy. Jeremy is from Chandler, AZ and has become a little brother to us. He is a great guy and is putting his mission papers in this Summer. We are so excited for him! He also has been a great babysitter for us.
Me and my cute hubby!

Birthday Dinner

So for my birthday we celebrated at Outback with Sarah & Gerrett. Sarah had her birthday the day before me so we thought it would be perfect to go out together. I was pretty excited to go to Outback. It's an hour away but totally worth it. Ithaca is lacking in the good food cateogory. We had a lot of fun to be out with actual adults and not have our kiddo's with us!Us with the Montgomerys
Happy Birthday to ME!
Happy Birthday to Sarah! Aren't they cute, we love them. Thanks for a fun night out!

Thanks

Thanks Todd for the nice tribute, your the best and I love you. I'm pretty sure there was a reason why I didn't post those pictures of me!!!!!!
