All in all, she ended up with 3 medals and one ribbon. Gold in 200 meter Walk, Silver in 100 Run, Bronze in 100Meter Walk and the ribbon in shot put. What a FUN Weekend!!!

That all for now folks, I’m tired :)

I have the best daughter in the WHOLE WORLD!! She is so amazing, She participates in special Olympics, she is on the honor roll. She Loves her animals, and works hard at everything she does.

Right now she is doing Track and Field. A few weeks ago she participated in the area games but before she was able to do all her events we got rained out, well snowed out. Later this month she will be doing her State games.

One of the highlights of Special Olympics is the Torch Run. She gets to carry the Special Olympics Torch with the police officers who raise money to support our kids! Every time I see her with the torch I get tears in my eyes. I think I’m the luckiest mom in the whole world!!!

This is Chawndell getting her award for the honor roll
