Summer 2011


He seemed to hide in almost all the team pics. Where's Ben?? LOL




I love this pic of her and coach.
She is so proud of herself and I am proud of her!
I love this pic of him and coach.




So the kids went to summer camp and loved it. I am glad its over because now we can sleep in.

Ben played baseball and his team went undefeated for the season. They won their championships. My baby was in 1st place. Yeah. He had an awesome season. During the championships we found a position he was not only good at but he loved playing and it kept his head in the game. Catcher!!

Cece also played softball. She had a good season. She hurt her knee while riding her scooter which I told her not to do. She missed the last 5 games of the season and the first 2 tournaments. She played in the last tournament and did AWESOME. You couldn't tell she hadn't played in a month and a half. They ended up playing 3rd in the first tournament. Not placing in the 2nd tourny and 2nd in the 3rd tournament. She is excited because she received 2 more trophies and will be getting another trophy for playing.

So we are spending the next week with nothing but family time. No tss nothing. We will then be getting ready for school and soccer season. Both kids will be playing soccer.

Due to recent events, I have decided to cut mil off from seeing the kids for awhile. The other day was the last straw. I just think this is best for the family. Even Dh is tired of the comments being made. I can not help that I have two children with special needs. Ben cannot help that he needs constant reminders due to behavoirs. Yes he throws tantrums but he doesnt have the self control that most kids his age has. Ive decided that if and when I do allow contact it will be on my terms. Mostly it will be at my house so if his yelling and tantrums piss her off she can leave.

I am tired of the comments she makes about my husband and I and how we parent our children. We have a TSS and BSC who is helping not only us but ben deal with his disorder. I cannot help that when someone looks at my son they see a 7 yr old but socially he isnt 7. He has a social delay which makes it hard for him to have friends and get social clues such as people's emotions and even what they say. It hurt so much to see her yell at him and see how hurt he was and not even 20 minutes later he was asking to stay at her house. I can't put him into that situation anymore so we have cut her off. I am tired of her saying we need to discipline him more that's why he doesn't listen. Um no that's not why. Dh and I are both in school to better ourselves for our children and she is constantly dissing us for it. Oh but let anyone else in the family be in school and have kids then its awesome and they are doing a good job. Screw that.

I am tired of feeling like my children and I are not good enough. If this was anyone in my family I would have done cussed them out and cut them off a long time ago. In fact I have. That's why I don't talk to my cousin or my aunt.

Well off to find some trouble to get into..
