Milestones.

For Easter my family and my cousins spent the weekend in Hershey, PA. Home of the Hershey chocolate world. (even though some of us don't like chocolate) Scott and the family came to watch Amanda's last game being in the new-stars game.

Amanda got two assist during the game and was nominated for D1 Sportswoman of the Year.

BUT!
That's not the main reason for this post. So the title of this post is Milestones and here's one we can put in the book (when we write one).

My mom told me a story about before my cousins and I got to the rink. My dad, mom and Scott were out to lunch and my dad asked the waitress her name and then my dad said "This is Scott." Right after my dad said that Scott says, "Emily (I think that was her name) this is my mom."

Scott has never introduced one of us to another person. I'm so proud of him for introducing his momma to someone else. This is a HUGE Milestone for my baby brother!

Also, Softball is starting and I think that's Scott's favorite sport that he plays (besides Hockey of course). He loves hitting the ball over the fence and catching the ball. Well if you know Scott you know that he has more shoes than a girl. (You think we're kidding but we're not) Have you ever tried to find size 15 shoes? (Yes you read that right 15!) It's not that easy especially when Scott is picky about his shoes. One of the requirements is they have to be the color Red. (probably why he roots for the capitals.) Today Scott got his new Softball cleats & yes they are Red!

Here they are!











So WE HAVE A SPECIAL SHOUTOUT TO OUR BABY SISTER, LAURA WHO IS TURNING ANOTHER YEAR OLDER TOMORROW! 

I wish I could be there to celebrate at IHOP but I'll be home in two weeks to celebrate.

If you see this weirdo tell her happy birthday & give her a birthday punch for me. (just kidding don't do that. we don't condone violence :)

Another year gone.

Wow. I can't believe that my brother is one year older. My only request is that he doesn't grow any taller.
Now that I'm back at school (which no they didn't leave my brother with me like he secretly wants to) I missed his birthday dinner. Look what when on when I was gone:  Scott tells me that he needs to lose weigh so I think "great get on the wii and excercise" so he goes on the wii and hits mii which I have no clue what it is. He clicks on his person and makes in skinnier and then says to me " look mom I LOST weight". LOL. I wish it would be that easy.
I miss these times with my brother. It felt weird not driving him & Michael to basketball practice tonight. 
Scott has two dances this week. Maybe he will dance with a girl and hold her by the muscles like he did last year. Here's another quote from him from my mom:  riding home from basketball tonight I asked Scott what he was wearing tomorrow for the Hope Prom. He says "my kayaking pants" to which I replied " oh you mean your KHAKI pants". Laura busted up laughing!!!
I can't wait to hear about it & tell you all about it. 
Scott loves to dress up so this is his chance to look nice. Hopefully they got him pants that are longer for him since he grew out of the other ones he had. He looked like Stever Urkel without the glasses. Maybe a furture halloween idea. (: 
Well. Back to homework. Have a question about anything relating to Autism or life with a sibling with Autism. Hit us up on our facebook page. We always love questions or random things you just want us to know or even a funny story.  


peace & love,
Amanda & Scott.
