2011 Contestants and I at rehearsals!
Mr. and Mrs. Sporty's!
Thank you to the Owners/Managers of Sporty's Bar and Grill for hosting our rehearsal dinner!
Surprising the Owners/Managers of Sporty's Bar and Grill by sashing them "Mr. and Mrs. Sporty's" as a way to say Thank You from the Mrs. Washington Pageant Family.
As mentioned in an earlier post, our family had the chance to be guest speakers at the Rehab Special Education Seminar held at Shoreline Community College. We gave a personal testimony on how an alternative treatment for Tourettes that we sought out last November for our son Kenny has been proven successful. To the right of this picture is Dr. Anthony Sims - one of the founders of a retainer device that has helped Kenny's motor tics reduce by 70 %. What a great way to spend my last full day as Mrs. Washington - the opportunity to share this exciting new treatment to bring healing and hope to those battling movement/tic disorders. 
My son Kenny giving his personal testimony as well on how the retainer device has helped reduce his tics and given him a new life socially and academically.
Doctors that are making a difference in the lives of patients with movement/pain disorders: Dr. Brian Vlcek, Dr. Anthony Sims, Dr. Stephen Glass and Dr. Mark Cooper. The" Fantastic Four" of today's seminar!
What a blessing and honor it was to be able to be in the presence of such brilliant men of medicine! Really, a miracle in the making right here and an answer to prayer!
Candi, one of the Moms Next, mothers opened up sharing her personal story of her own daughters diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome - an Autism Spectrum Disorder. She is a great example on how advocacy can go a long ways when you are consistent and dedicated to the cause. Great job Candi! Thank for blessing my life tonight!
After Candi introduced me, I then shared how important is to advocate for yourself first and your marriage second if you want to be successful and effective in advocating for your kids. In other words, you have to take care of yourself spiritually, physically, mentally and emotionally in order to have the energy advocate for your children. The health of your marriage needs to also be a priority. This is so important, as there is an 80% divorce rate among families with special needs children. These children need their families to stay intact!
Thank you so much Mary inviting to be a guest speaker tonight! Mary is the coordinator for the Moms Next ministry.
Wow, what a surprise! I haven't seen Judy in years! We used to work together! She still looks beautiful and hasn't aged a bit - in fact she looks younger :). Judy is such sweet lady and a blessing to many.
