NEW FUNDRAISING INFORMATION

Sorry everyone. Been a little under the weather. Haven't kept up like I should. Dylan is doing pretty well since he is out of school and not in his usual routine. He hasn't wanted alot to do with grandma lately. But he is stuck to mommies side like glue. Our candle fundraiser has gone great. Thanks to my wonderful sister in law down in Florida. She has taken on this fundraiser with a burning desire. She is awesome. Our local Mortuary gave us a donation. I'm hoping to get more sponsorship papers around. We will still be selling wish and Betty hamburgers in August. in September we will sell tacos in the park the last Friday of the month and also have raffle items. In October Crystal will run a golf tournament with glow in the dark balls! glow sticks everywhere. Sounds like a blast. We also will be selling wreaths and swags at Christmas. I put one of these swags on my dads grave every year. Lots of fundraisers. I'm hoping we have some kind of picture to show the city council soon so I can go before them and request some park space. Or some nice farmer will give us some land. so many here in Sumner and sedgwick counties will get some use out of this park. please be in prayer for this Thanks

Dylan and the heat

This has been a hot week so far.As long as Dylan is playing in the water outside he is fine. If he is just playing, we have to keep a close eye on him. 103 temp in Kansas. One of his meds makes him have a greater chance of heat stroke. How do you keep an autistic kid in a trailer for 24 hours a day? He loves it outside! It's so easy to take for granted our health. Until something like this happens. A friend told me all we every wanted for our kids was that they were healthy and happy. Who knew that one day this would come back to haunt me ? It has been well said that our anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, butonly empties today of its strenght.

MAKING SOME HEADWAY

Hey everybody! We are applying for grants. Selling candles as our fundraiser. Going to wellington tomorrow and and dropping by some places and dropping off information on Dillysplace. See if I can get some funding and make some contacts. We met with Joel today on the park. Had a very informative meeting. Don't worry. Crystal, Chloe and I were on our best behavior.. Dylan is doing prety good right now. One more week of school and it may hit the fan. Whenever Dylan is taken out of his structured inviornment, He gets manic. Please say a special prayer for Crystal, Dylan and Chloe. Our new motto: LOVE MY CRAZY FAMILY. WE MAY BE CRAZY BUT WE ARE ALL THE FAMILY WE GOT. LIFE'S TO SHORT NOT TO HAVE FUN!

EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON

I'm a true believer that everything happens for a reason! While shopping at Ashley furniture the man helping me told me about his friend that has a 7yr old autistic son. They don't have him in school, not signed up for any assistance...nothing. I gave him my buisness card and home email to give to her. I heard from her tonight. I am glad my crazy mixed up life can help someone see the light at the end of their tunnel!
