Chris and Linda in the Tiger Shrine. I loved the walls in this place. They are all hand painted and depict tigers, hunting and jungle.
Prayer Flags
Alana's hand in a tiger's paw print.
This Ivy Lady was walking around in a mystical kind of way. Some people were frightened when they saw her move because they thought she was a bush. It was pretty comedic if you ask me.
This ape was so cute. I took another picture of him as he walked away but I would like to keep my blog at very least PG13.
The tree of life. Check out those carvings.
I have grown to love street performers. This group was hysterical! They are a acrobatic team that balances on things, juggles and what not. This guy is standing on empty pain cans that are on their sides.
My favorite part of the day was riding Expedition Everest, It is by far my all time favorite ride!
Friday, March 23, 2012 I received a phone call from my oldest daughter Alana's Kindergarten teacher. Mrs Munos was concerned that Alana wasn't acting her bubbly self. I had noticed that she seemed to have been sleeping a lot and wrote it off to the time change and just getting back from spring break. But now I had a little flag from her teacher. I began to wonder if there was something wrong with her. My first thought was depression. So I sent her out on a Daddy Daughter date with my husband to see if it would boost her spirits. No such luck. I've never heard of a child being so glum at the Kemah Boardwalk. But in fact, she hardly cracked a smile. Over the weekend Alana seemed to get worse. She slept for a good part of church on my lap and I really began to worry. Alana was eating like a teenage boy, drinking a ton of water and using the restroom several times an hour. My husband, Chris, even thought she might have mono. ...
We D-Mommas are always looking for low carb options for our kids. While at Kroger yesterday, I felt compelled to check the carb counts on Little Hug Fruit Barrels. I was very surprised to find that one Hug was only 2 grams of carbs and twenty count box is only $3! I was so excited that I bought two boxes. When it came time to pick the girls up from school, the excitement was still flowing through my veins. So I packed a few in my purse to give the girls in the car on the way home. Results of the taste test were awesome. Alana loves them. Not to mention that they made her feel more like a normal kids. Normal is great in my book. I'm trilled that I no longer have to by different drinks for all the girls. The price, taste and nutritional facts make Hugs a winner in our home.
This is one of the saddest posts I've had to write in some time... Two weeks ago I got a phone call from my brother in law, Brad. He started the conversation with a little laugh and "I think your Alana has rubbed off on Reed" I was perplexed. Oh no. What did Alana do now? "It looks like Reed is a type 1 diabetic too" I was floored. I had just gone to Alana's school to give a talk on T1D, now we have another child in my husband's family who is insulin dependent. (My pancreas prop) Reed and Alana were born a year and two days apart. Reed had to go to the hospital in DKA on his tenth birthday. It's the worst birthday present EVER!!! I felt hopeless and all I wanted to drop everything and fly out to Utah to help out. But Alana was turning nine the next day and there was just no way I could make it happen. So we scheduled to skype that night. While laying in his hospital bed, we talked to him, c...
