Insulin is not a cure!

Kaci had to have blood work done this morning.....fasting blood work. I HATE blood work days. Actually....I HATE blood work week. The WHOLE week I am in a FUNK, because Kaci is in a FUNK! We have numbing cream and I think it is never as bad as she (or I imagine)- but the build up and the wait.....just get to be too much! She usually only has to have it done every 6 months. It was last done end of July and we are scheduled again for end of January- but with a new medication on board- the Dr. wanted to check in between to make sure it is doing it's job. I understand....I really do, but I HATE blood work! So, let's continue to fight for a cure.
And Remember....

“To the world you may be just one person, but to one person you may be the world.”

It doesn't get cuter than this! Kaci and her BFF, Grayson decided to be twins at school today! They planned out their whole outfit- Kaci's team shirt, pink shorts, white tennis shoes and a white bow in their hair!

I love these girls! They are silly, fun and fabulous!
I hope they stay friends FOREVER!!

My own backyard!

So prous of Kaci's Independent Study project she completed for TAG. She had to create her own backyard. This project had so many components it lasted 9 weeks. She wrote poems, made power points, painted with water color, researched, made graphs and tables, created her own diaroma, made fact cards, constructed 3-D art work and the list goes on and on! Way to go, Kaci!

Whose is whose?

Can you tell which one is Bailey's and which one is Kaci's??

You got it!~ Kaci's has the bow!!

Josie and Stumpy!

I think Kaci has found her passion...and boy is she good at it! Here is some more of her artwork on canvas. This was a special order request made by her Uncle Chad. He has 2 tabby cats: one named Josie and one named Stumpy! He placed an order with Kaci for her to draw each of them on their own 10 x 10 canvas! The finished products are AMAZING!!

This is Stumpy- notice- there is no tail in this photo!

This is Miss Josie- she has the white chest markings and long fluffy tail!


I just love how well they turned out! Kaci is becoming quite the artist!!!

Thanks for placing the order, Uncle Chad!

Custom Ink!!

They came! They came! - And they are CUTE!!

GO Kaci's Krushers!!!

Vote For Me....Bailey B!

**Bailey is running for Student Leadership Council in his class tomorrow. Here is the speech he is going to give in front of his class. He wrote it all by himself and I typed it up for him! Good job, Bailey! I am proud of you!**

Hi my name is Bailey Borchgardt. I am seven years old. I have been a student at Teravista for 3 years. I am running for Student Leadership Council and I am going to tell you what I am going to do if you vote for me.

I am going to be a good listener and help other people. I am going to show the new kids where they need to go and help them find their way around our school. I will be a good role model for other students.

I will be a good leader for our class because I am a Boyscout. I have been a boyscout for almost 2 years. Boyscouts help the community. I also volunteer for JDRF. Me and my family help raise money every year to find a cure for diabetes. About 80 people are diagnosed with diabetes every day. My sister has diabetes.

I am a good listener and I follow directions and rules of our school. I am a hard worker and make good grades. I always do my homework and my classwork. I always walk in the hall neatly and quietly and raise my hand to speak.

Thank you to all of my classmates for showing friendship and helping me not be nervous when school first started. I want to wish everyone who is running for Student Leadership Council good luck. It is a big job and I am ready for it.
