Thanks Tausha for this awesome blog award!
I met Tausha almost two years ago when her sister-in-law Debbie, who is a friend of mine told me that she just had a little guy born with Down's Syndrome. My heart went out to her, because I knew what she was going through. She has been awesome and she had done such a great job with cute little Sam...my heck, she has already started potty training him, what?? I am a failure when it comes to the potty training part. She is a great mom who endures her trials well and comes out on top! Thanks again Tausha!

So here it goes, 10 things that make me happy (not in order)!
1. The SUN, I love the sun! The warm sun makes me SO happy (really needing it right now).
2. Cinnamon bears, tootsie rolls and cookie dough milk shakes make me really happy...not so happy after I indulge them, but for the time being they make me happy.
3. Running!!! I love to run and I am so glad that my injury is no longer bothering me (for now, keep my fingers crossed).
4. My kids. I know I complain a lot about them, but they really DO make me happy. I really don't know what I would do without them.
5. Collin makes me happy. It makes me happy that he will do anything to make me happy. Love him.
6. My sisters make me happy. I love to be with my sisters, it seems like my worries go away and I can just have fun with them, laugh and goof around or they can listen to me cry...:)
7. Laughing makes me happy. Nothing better than a good ole gut wrenching laugh session. Love it!
8. I have GREAT friends that make me so happy. We have a good time together and I know I can count on them for anything.
9. The movies make me happy! I love to go to a movie, a good movie.
10. My mom makes me happy. Again, she will do anything to make sure I am happy, she worries, prays and does MANY things to make sure I am okay. Love her.

Now here are the blogs that I would love to give the award too!

1. My sister Hollie she does a great job with her blog, it makes me laugh a ton! I love reading all the stories she posts about her cute little munch kin kids...Drew is not so much a munch kin, but Kate is.

2. The next one goes to Heather. I met Heather at Utah Down Syndrome Foundation Lagoon Day last summer. She has a darling daughter Morgan, that has Down Syndrome. We then got reacquainted at the Buddy Walk. She is awesome! She is so on top of it with Morgan, it really makes me feel like a slacker, but pushes me too. She is always so kind and always so willing to give helpful information. She is awesome!

3. This blog just makes me happy. It is called the Cheaping Girls! They are so much fun! They are great friends with my in-laws and I have gotten to know them better too. I love to read their blog! They post, great finds, products they love, etc, etc...It is a mother and two of her daughters that publish on the blog and they crack me up. If I need a happy dose, I go there. Fashion and things that make you feel good, just make me happy. Thanks ladies!

Thank you for your kind words and making me sound so much better then I am, as I sit here trying to stuff Sam with food he doesn't want to eat and is screaming. haha

I am terrible at following through on blog tags and blog awards but just wanted to say that I am VERY honored that you passed this award on to me. Your words are very kind -- it's easy to get down and frustrated with some of the challenges we face having a child with Down syndrome and it's nice and encouraging to know someone thinks we're doing an okay job at it. :) Thanks!
