Love these Gals

Well I really enjoy my sister time. So glad that I have some or some at least that love me no matter what my emotion is for that hour. Lately its all been the same emotion right girls? Love you Ness and Tara!



Just love this girl. My favorite sister in law because no matter how rude, bitchy, bratty, snotty, sarcastic and crude and crass i am she loves me still, and doesnt judge me for it. I love spending time with her and getting to see her really get as sarcastic as i can be. Love you Tara so glad you my sister.

Hmmmm-

Well the outcome of Havik was most certainly not the way I had imaged him, so oh well.
This was our first time handing out candy in a house. Not as many kids out then I expected. Definately Sean and I's favorite came with two fairy sister's so cute with wings, and a little little boy he had to of been 2 or three, and when they said trick or treat this little boy said, " I am alergic to peanut butter" That little boy had the sweetest smallest voice . Sean and I started to laugh it was so cute, he got an extra handful because that was so cute. I'm sure his mom standing on the curb had reminded him to tell people he was alergic to peanuts because she started to giggle when she heard us laughing. So darn cute, we still have left overs too! yes- i love starburst!


Hmmmm i wonder what you guys are gunna think Havik was supposed to be for Halloween. It didnt

Love the After, Jessica is probably THE best stylist I have ever gone too. I know i will never switch because I have ALWAYS been happy with her work, even when I go in with no idea of what i want. Thanks Jess, your wonderful!

The hoarder!

This man really thinks these item are so wonderful he feels the need to display them all year round. And NO this is not a garage sale, this is his home. Apache Junction. He also had no problem with us recording and taking pictures of his precious items. Let me know what you think, then you gotta take a look for yourself to fully understand the magnitude of his obsession.

1 in 5 people have dyslexia


Educational Advice!

Don't Wait -- Get Help Now Here's what three experts say:

Susan Hall, coauthor of Straight Talk About Reading

Question: How do parents know if their child's reading delay is a real problem or simply a "developmental lag?" How long should parents wait before seeking help in their child is struggling with reading?
Answer:Beware of the developmental lag excuse for several reasons.First, I have listened to parent after parent tell me about feeling there was a problem early on, yet being persuaded to discount their intuition and wait to seek help for their child. Later, when they learned time is of the essence in developing reading skills, the parents regretted the lost months or years.
Second, research shows that the crucial window of opportunity to deliver help is during the first couple of years of school. So if your child is having trouble learning to read, the best approach is to take immediate action. Knowing how soon to act is easy if you know the conclusions of recent research.
Reading researchers say the ideal window of opportunity for addressing reading difficulties is during kindergarten and first grade. The National Institutes of Health state that 95 percent of poor readers can be brought up to grade level if they receive effective help early.
While it is still possible to help an older child with reading, those beyond third grade require much more intensive help.The longer you wait to get help for a child with reading difficulties, the harder it will be for that child to catch up. If help is given in fourth grade (rather than in late kindergarten), it takes four times as long to improve the same skills by the same amount.

Patricia Vail, author of 9 books on Learning Disabilities

If your child has trouble in the early levels of school, get help immediately! Do not wait to see if the child will grow out of it.
Prevention is always easier than remediation.
Learning differences don't disappear spontaneously.
If you worry that receiving extra help will make your child feel different, forget it. Your child already feels different by virtue of
