Wigs for Kids

The other day Arianna and myself donated our hair to Wigs for Kids. This was something I have been wanting to do with her for a long time. She was so happy to be helping kids with cancer and she was finally old enough to understand and appreciate what we did! I am so proud of her!

Arianna donated 12 inches

Proud girl!

Eye Appointment


As you can see Arianna had to wear those gorgeous glasses after her eye appointment today. lol! She was so cute and kept them on too.

Well guess I should tell you all why we were at the eye doctor today. During one of her speech sessions, which by the way we ran out of sessions, they mentioned her left eye was off and we should have it checked.

Diagnosis is strabismus in her left eye. Shouldn't cause any problems but we will keep an eye on it, no pun intended. They had to dilate her eyes, which is why she was sporting those gorgeous glasses. He did not that her optic nerve and vessels around that are larger than most and he feels thats due to her heart defect and different blood pressure. Her vessells are also winding and not straight like they should be. He says it shouldn't cause a problem but something he doesn't see. She has asygmatism in both eyes. This may mean she will need glasses as she gets older but it also does not mean she will..so its just a wait and see thing..again no pun intended. :) So we dont have to do anything but come back in 6 months for a recheck!

Arianna's First Ballet Recital

I am extremely proud of Arianna and completing her first year of ballet. She was in the white class and will advance to pink next year. She absolutely LOVES ballet and is even taking summer classes to advance her skills till next year. This was her first recital and I cannot tell you how emotional it was for me. We had just got back from California and she started getting sick on the drive home. Had a slight fever but I knew I couldn't let her miss this. She practiced so hard. This was the first time she was away from us for 5 HOURS!!! She did amazing and remember her dance when others were just standing there she was leading the group. Proud Mama moment!

Arianna completed her first year as a Cubby in Awana! Awana is a church program that teachs the kids bible versus and stories. This was the first classroom experience Arianna had and I am so glad I did. Arianna and her cousin, Bryce, had an award ceremony. Arianna's class got on stage and sang a couple songs. I'm so proud of her!
