Jack's birthday party!

We made a quick trip home to celebrate Jackson's birthday! We had such a great time! It was good to visit with so many people from Samantha's family that I grew up around! I do have a funny story...Samantha called me on my way home to tell me about Jack's birthday party....I asked her what the party theme was and she said bud weiser...I was a little shocked and she could tell...she quickly began to explain... she said that she had asked Jackson what kind of birthday party he wanted and he said a bud weiser party....she just figured that he was saying this since Toma works at the bud weiser plant...one night during the week a Toy Story commercial came on the TV and Jackson said see momma it's bud weiser (Buzz Lightyear)...haha so needless to say he did not have a bud weiser themed party, but a Buzz Lightyear one instead! It was so cute and so much fun...she had two big inflatables for the kids, tons of good food, and yummy cake! Happy 3rd Birthday Jackson! The Willoughby family loves you so much...we can't believe how fast you have grown up!

Such a cute cake


I love this sweet baby!
He was so excited to show me how he could slide!

He was embarrassed that everyone was singing to him!

Blow out your candles!

Rock Your Socks for Lera {SAVE THE DATE}

We are extra excited to celebrate our first World Down Syndrome Day! Join us as we “Rock our Socks” for Lera!  March 21 is World Down Syndrome Day (WDSD), the day the Down syndrome community creates a single, global voice advocating for the rights, inclusion and well being of people with Down syndrome.  Every year, on March 21, people all around the world come together to celebrate by wearing brightly colored or mismatched socks.  March 21 is symbolic because people with Down syndrome have 3 copies of their 21st chromosome. Socks were chosen because the karyotype of Down syndrome chromosomes actually looks like mismatched socks!  We believe it is our family’s mission to raise awareness about our precious Lera, and help change the way the world views Down syndrome one extraordinary day at a time!  💛💙 If you choose to “Rock Your Socks” please share your picture with us to document on the blog! This blog will be printed and used as Lera’s baby book. If you choose...

Lera's Gift

                      Meet our precious baby girl, LERA MICHELLE! Cody and I are choosing to share Lera’s story to hopefully encourage others that may have a similar journey and help change the way the world views Down Syndrome! At 11 weeks our OB at the time noticed a thickened nuchal fold and suggested we do a genetic blood test. Honestly, we didn’t believe anything would be detected with our baby, we were just looking forward to finding out the gender so early. The results came back, and the screening detected a 76% predictive value for Trisomy 21. Definitely not something we ever expected. And the way it was presented to Cody and me made us leave the appointment scared, confused, and in denial of the results we had just been given. We cried, we were mad, we prayed and processed and prayed some more. We shared the results with our closest family and friends and just like us, they prayed over our baby daily. After t...
