for April 2010 Autism Walk

1 in 91 Children are now being diagnosed with Autism... if you dont now, you will know someone with Autism soon!

Its that time again. We are walking for Autism. We had a great time last year walking in Anaheim. This April we will be walking in Los Angeles. Well, more like Pasadena. At the Rose Bowl. We had such a fun time walking last year. They also had activities for the kids. Tafari had so much fun.  I was a little unprepared at the last walk. It was our first one. However, we did raise $250.00 for Autism. That was great!! I am hoping to achieve and exceed that goal this time. Also, I was unaware that people made T-shirts. We certainly didn't look as cool as everyone else. But we had an awesome time! Here are a few pics of our day.

There were groups of Teenagers and Siblings spread through the crowd with Signs. I thought that was really Awesome! I love when Children who don't have special needs are Educated and Aware! It's positively Enlightening! These Kids stood out there for most of the day with hand made signs and banners!

AutSpot Booth

 

 These Guys Rock! They are so Awesome. Please take time to read their about us section on their site. You will not be disappointed. They have a heart of Gold and are doing a really great Service to Autism Families all over the Globe. We had a great time at their booth! I am glad my son was too young to want a goldfish though.

Another Booth my son really liked....

I was sad I lost the Brochure, they were good people.

Adoption of Becky

 

Becky came to live with our family in the late 70's. Her Bio-dad's family is from Panama & Jamaica, and her Great Grandmother was Indian. Her Bio-mom's family is Caucasian/Jewish. She found her family not to long ago. She went with my mom to meet them all.  My dad and I hadn't met them until yesterday. Here are some pics of an Awesome day. We had a great time increasing our family unit!

Sundays In My State

I haven't had time to shoot pics around my City,
I am in the process of moving.

So I included pics of our visit back to the Bay
(where we lived for 10 years),

also pics of Long Beach and it's Parks & Aquarium, and Hollywood.

So here are a few of my favorite Weekend pics of 2009...
(ya can't see much of the cities but I told ya! I'm moving!)

This pic makes me Laugh.. The Ghetto Gnome.
The Travel Channel would shiver, but this is what happens
when the Gnome meets the Hood!
He patrols the Corner store.

He sits there with the Card Players...
he is dirty broken and chipped.. but he is very proud!

I think he can kick ass too, cause he looks a little threatning!

My son's Cousin Jaylin he's too cute!
