Star

We took a vacation to go see my mom, mamo and grandpa in Star, Idaho! Such good old fashion summer fun!!! 

Plan ride. 

Play ground by my moms. 

Boise River. Brrr. So pretty though. 

A little hike. 

Another park to play on the play ground. And the serve the best shaved ice! 

The boys chillin'.

Relaxing with lamby from the long day. 

The cow was this close across the street from my mom's. 

My mamo/his momo took him to get some new school cloths! And some pretty cool sunglasses. 

Picnic lunch out side. 

Pool time. 

And of course the stinker chicken who keeps getting out! 

Another park with a water slide! It took some serious coaching to go down it but he did and LOVED it! 

Another park to do paddle boats. So fun.

Such a great trip we will not forget!

Promise

We have a cat. Her name is Promise. She was named very appropriately at the time by Gregory. She is almost 2. We could not have asked for a better cat. She is so good with Gregory and the love each other so much!  

Yes, his nails are painted due to his girl cousin spending the night. 

Swim

Summer means swimming. Gregory isn't there yet but he is getting a lot better. Each summer gets just a little bit better. How cute is he though?! 

Happy Anniversary!!!

Bi Anual Metabolic Clinic Appointment

Last week We had Gregory's Bi Annual Metabolic Clinic Appointment. Its a very long appointment. We are seen by the geneticists, the nutritionist, social worker, and psychologist. Everything went pretty smooth all in all. I filled in the psychologist with everything Gregory has been going through. She wants to look at the possibility of Gregory maybe having ADHD. She said you can have this with out the hyper sensitivity part. I'll keep you all posted. Otherwise, he is a happy healthy boy! Praise the Lord!

Update

Gregory has been at his school a month now. So far so good. I feel like he is already  learning more but he is still behind. Working on writing letters, site words, writing numbers, ect. They work on behavior and for the most part he has been doing good. There are days when he doesn't get to go to treasure box. This is the daily reward for good behavior. I can't believe school is out in a little over a month! I'll let you know how the rest of the school year goes.

Food

I thought I'd do a post on food and what Gregory typically eats. I have not done a post on this in a long time. You may or may not know Gregory's dad and I have joint custody of him. So, I don't really know what he eats over there . . . but with me, it looks something like this:

Breakfast:

~Plain bagel or toasted with dairy free margarine.
~Cereal with rice milk.

Lunch:

~Turkey sandwich (Bread and turkey have approved ingredients), fruit, fruit snack, juice box, and approved pretzels or chips.

Dinner:

~ Fish or chicken breast with roasted Brussels sprouts and potatoes.
~Tacos
~Spaghetti

Snacks:

~Ritz crackers
~Graham crackers
~Fruit
~Tortilla chips
~Bagel

Dessert:
~Dole chocolate covered bananas
~Oreos
