This put a lump in my throat!

This is the sweetest little video made about a cute bagger at a grocery store that has down syndrome. I wish I had him as my bagger. Here is the address to it... http://stservicemovie.com/. This is a must see.

Elliot and Matt's 5 min of Fame

I need your help!~

This post is for anyone who reads my blog. I need your help by joining Elliot and our family at the Cystic Fibrosis Walk this Saturday at wheeler farm. We have worked hard and are ready to celebrate. Our team has raised over $3000 DOLLARS! That is amazing. Thank you to all who have worked so hard for Elliot. Also Channel 4 is doing a story in Elliot tomorrow, Thursday at 4pm, so tune in. It is all about becoming more aware of Cystic Fibrosis. Also on Friday Good Things Utah is going to talk a bit about Elliot and the Walk during there table talk. That is at 10am and on Channel 4 as well. So please feel free to read about the walk and Cystic Fibrosis on my blog. I have a few links that will take you to the foundation, and also a video I made about Elliot to help explain his disease. Also feel free to share this info with anyone. I love my children and am willing to do anything for them. I feel the more awareness there is the faster we will find a cure, and that is our main goal. Thank you everyone, you have been amazing

Shout out for the Cystic Fibrosis walk in Kansas and my big sister Amanda!

So I just got back last night from being in Kansas for the week. My sister Amanda has been hard at work fundraising for the CF foundation. So I decided it would be fun to go out and visit her for awhile before the walk. Well it didn't really happen that way. She decided to go to Florida for the week with her hubby who was presenting a medical paper at some confernce. So my Mom came out with to help tend her kids. So imagine being in a house with 6 kids under the age of 6. AHHHHHHHH, it was crazy. So much for a vacation. Don't get me wrong I love my nephews but it was wild most of the time. So Amanda got home late late Thursday night and we talked until about 1:30am and caught up. She is great. Then Friday we just spent the day relaxing. Mike her husband got home from work really early so we had 4 adults watching the 6 kids. Much better ratio. Saturday morning was the walk. We all had our Elliot's Angels tee shirts on and walked around the Shawnee Mission Park. It was so awesome. Amanda had invited a bunch of her friends to join her team and we had a great turnout. I think we had about 20 people their to support Elliot. It makes me a bit emotional thinking about how wonderful people are in supporting a baby who they have never met and are so enthusiastic about it. It was also really fun to see all of the other families with teams of their own for their kids. The walk was really family oriented, because 90 percent of the people with CF are children. There really aren't many people our age with it now because they have all passed away. But that is changing, and that is why the walk is so important. Elliot is going to have a chance to grow up and be something wonderful, and even hope to live to be a grandpa. So thank you Amanda for everything you have done for my sweet boy. I love you so much and couldn't ask for a better sister. You are amazing and one of my heros!
