Time for BAYBEBLUE'S BIRTHDAY BASH 2012

We all made it through Xmas without any new illness's until right at the end. Literally Xmas night I got a pain in my throat and my the end of the night I was full blown sick! Down for 3 days feeling pain from head to toe. Baybe has some symptoms but not all mine and same with Kevin. But it was a succesfull Xmas and everything they wanted and more. Santa brought Baybeblue a giant inflatable pool full of balls and soft toys so she can go crazy in there and not hurt herself. I think her favorite gift came from her Grandad, a full size completely soft Strawberry shortcake stuffed Dolly :)) she loves it and it will be by her side forever(try googling where to find this, it was nearly impossible and this is the only one made in the world, not the only doll, the only doll like this) Anyway everyone got what they wanted and now its time Gear up for BAYBEBLUE'S BDAY BASH 2012!!! Im so excited we got the flyer done!!! We will have to get to chuck e cheese(on powell n 92nd) around 2 to set up for the party and it goes from 3-9pm with different people showing up at different times. Chuck e Cheese will donate 15% of all proceeds for anyone who says we are with Baybeblue. We have Icing Smiles making her Strawberry shortcake cake and a cake for her to smash up. Diana also said that shes gona see if her baker friends will help her and make some extra treats. Then we have the amazing Sam Lensen who is an airbrush and tattoo and just all around amazing artist will be there doing face painting. We are having t-shirts made that say I <3 Baybeblue again but better and now I am working on making a video promo for the party and a slideshow of pics of her for at the party. I got the music, the pics, and the words now I just have to figure out how to make it all go together. I am nervous that we wont have a good showing cause last year the weather was so bad on that date. I just want to be able to send UCP a huge fat check and pay them back for everything they have done for so many kids and families. Susan Cushman from UCP will be our representative at the event and is even bringing her daughter that has CP too. Now Im also trying ot get any companies that will be willing to donate a small portion of proceeds on the day January 11 even if only a few hours if we get enough people it will all add up. Im so proud of my Baybe girl this year we have been so blessed with good health while watching an hearing about others suffering. My Nana had been diagnosed with cancer in her lung moved to Berkley to live with my Aunt and receive chemo treatments. Unfortunately they didnt work like they would have liked and now the cancer has spread. My aunt sends these cute little videos of her and she still has a smile on her face but Im not going to lie I am scared for her to go. Im scared for my Dad's heart and the pain that we are all going to feel, it overwhelms me to even think about. Then my Noni got sick and they had to call 911 and have fireman break her door down to get to her. SHe ended up having an infection in her blood and it hit me hard. I love her very much and she is so sweet i cant imagine her having to go through pain.

Other news Lala got all her grades up and is going to continue working close with the theatre dept and will be auditioning for a local play in January. Taylor is stoked he got so much new stuff for xmas and hes been working so hard at trying to help out and get stuff done so he can have his free time to enjoy all his new stuff.

Enough for now but I hope that anyone that is in the area will come to Baybes Bday party and help to pay back a great cause. Love n Peace <3

Gearin up for Xmas, planning Baybes Bday Bash and, hiding from any sick people.

SO we all made it through Thanksgiving ok. Layla was still on antibiotics and pain meds that made her act super angry and ridiculous. She was so mad there wasnt pumpkin pie and she was very obvious about it which is unlike her. I have to admit I found it a little hillarious and everyone knew she wasnt herself so it was acceptable. Baybe did great and looked beautiful. We got lots of family portraits done by Kevin for Xmas gifts. All except our own family Pic. We seem to have the hardest time just finding the time and making it happen. Now the xmas struggle... saving and planning making sure the kids get everything they want for xmas. I already got my boyfriend his gift so no worries there and I know what I want,, just to be all together happy and healthy so all I really care about is the kids and my family which just happen to be the most difficult people to buy for. My Dad especially. Hes a cowboys fan but Iv given him every darn cowboys thing I can think of including a peice of there stadium from when it was torn down. Hes a bbq guy but has everything for it and anything else he could want he would have already bought because he can! My Mom Kathy is easier she likes specific smell good stuff and enjoys anything pampering like. Now my sister Emily she is everything natural, totally religious, super smart and about to become a full psychologist and have her own practice so.... its all so hard because I want to get people stuff they want and need but my budget not so great. We Did get the tree and its up just havent finished decorating yet and we are rollin in the xmas decorations.
NOW its almost time for Baybeblues bday bash and not only do we get to have it at CHUCKIE CHEESE and get part of the proceeds of the night but UCP will be recieving our donation in Baybeblues name and will be attending the party as well. I applied to this amazing company that makes cakes for special needs kids and they accepted us so we will have an awsome cake for Baybeblue and hopefully alot of other things I have in the works will come through for us. I want to make this the best bday she ever had since its the first one she will be aware is going on now that shes off the meds. Last year she didnt wake up the entire party but this year shes gona have so much fun!! Im excited and I hope to see so many new faces at the party. Remember mark your calenders anytime between 3-9pm on 1/11/12 at chuckie cheese on powell make sure you tell the cashier that you are there for baybeblue and UCP will get part of the procedes. Please contact me by email if you have any interested in donating anything to her party. we are looking for a face painter and someone to hire or dress like strawberry shortcake at the party any other ideas welcome we will even except things to rafffle off to earn extra money for swimming pool therapy equipment for Baybeblue. Thank you and love you all.
