Braska Bear

Things have been overwhelming since the release of my DS Life design this week.  We’ve gone global… well, I mean we have international orders… but still! What was just a sparkly rhinestone design is now also a screen print design for the less-blingy types and the guys who want to get in on this. (Yep, guys want in…) And by request also, we adapted the image for a rhinestone version for mosaic DS.  Options! The original rhinestone design is still the most popular so far. Orders have been coming in for 3 days now.  People from 11 states have ordered so far! Wow! Click HERE to go check out all the details or get yours! How fun will it be to see all these walking around in Indy this summer…that’s what I keep thinking!

Most of you know that I’ve been doing rhinestone and custom accessories and such for a little while.  After just about bursting from excitement, I can finally release my newest original rhinestone design! Specifically for DS!! **Perfect timing as we countdown to World Down Syndrome Day! **Great gifts for teachers, therapists, family members, and friends! (And yourself!!!) **Make sure you and your “posse” who are all meeting up in Indy this summer are decked out!  Details about how it works,  what it benefits, and how you can get one –including PayPal checkout--are on this page...

Braska reporting : Thursday was a very big day. Halloween AND Grandma C’s birthday.  There was a bunch of fun stuff that we can show you so I won’t talk too much… This is my class, well, one of them.  I also go to Mr. H’s class but it’s a LOT more kids. Mommy came to the party and brought my cheer outfit to be my costume. We kind of forgot to get new costumes this year. Since it was raining a lot, we didn’t get to have our parade outside. So we went to the gym. It’s kind of a long walk, but I did a good job following the class. (Sometimes I like to not follow so well…) Then we sat in the gym for a little bit to see all the costumes. Jack was Spiderman and Dashlyn was a cute black kitty. They’re both in my class. We’ve been friends for a long time. We’ve had halloween pictures with them for a few years. Their mom, Miss Julie, did some super fun games and we made neat things. She also got out silly string at the end....

It’s that time again!!! FOOOOOOTBALLLLL! Braska reporting: Uncle Ethon and Auntie Cheryl have “the ticket” this year, so we’re going to their house for Bears on Sunday after church.  This was our first week, and we got ALL dressed for it! And Kinlee got excited! Mommy and I practiced our cheer poses with her, but we didn’t jump this time. We won! So yay Bears!  Bear down, Chicago Bears!

Mom reporting: I thought since the first day pics didn’t go so well, I’d try again.  8/15/13  Day 2—“No, Mom. I just want to get on the bus!” 8/22/13 Day 7 —There was some extra time before the bus came to get Braska. So they agreed to take a few shots.  Though this is what I got first…. After a few that didn’t work, we did get one a little more “classic.” This seems to make Kinlee look taller than Braska, which she is, but not by quite this much.  Later that day, Braska came home with different pants on. Love when that happens…  I though it was funny that both times she’s come home with these pants on in the past 10 days, (the pants from her “extra outfit” for school, pants with several bright colors in stripes), it just works out that the colors somehow coordinate the colors in her top.  Must be popular colors in her wardrobe.  This is great since they only change the pants, not the top (which I included in her extra...

Today was cowboy/cowgirl day at school.  I don’t really have anything like that.  So we decided a star on my shirt and my tan boots would have to do the job.  Kind of a city girl, I am.  Some kids had cowboy boots and hats and vests. I’ll have to do some shopping before next cowboy day! (Aunt Karol, I so needed your help today! ) Still cute, though, I say!

First we started with some pictures in the backyard with the leaves. We didn’t want to take real pictures, so Mommy just got some of us being silly. But we’re still cute, I say. KiKi just kept wanting to pose. We did stand together. For just a second. But then we wanted to just throw leaves in the air. Then we went to the store and got a few last things we needed for the big picnic. It was the picnic for all my friends here who are “extra” cool like me.  KiKi tried to do monkey bars but Maddie had to help her.  She’s nice like that. We had to leave the picnic early to go to see Coach Sara and Coach Steve at their game.  They teach us to cheer so we wanted to see THEM cheer at the football game!  Go LU! KiKi sat with Coach Shannon, Coach Sara’s mommy.  I sat with Daddy. The cheerleaders did a little show at halftime. Coach Sara’s up in the air. Here’s a close shot of her. Then Coach Sara and Coach St...
