About Me

I graduated from BYU in Audiology and Speech Language Pathology and I am working as an SLPL at a school district. I enjoy it and it keeps me SUPER busy. I also teach spin classes at LA Fitness. I refuse to ever pay for a gym membership. I live with 2 awesome girls: Erika and Christina. I love Diet Dr. Pepper, ritz crackers, bunny tracks ice cream, shopping, cooking, sleeping, reading, and working out. I have the 4 cutest nephews in the world: Kaden, Jack, Nixon and Bentley and 1 adorable niece: Alena. This is my simple yet really awesome life!

Speech School






My nephew Nixon who is almost 
2 doesn't talk very much.
  
In fact he doesn't talk at all 
except
 for an OCCASIONAL "hi" or "dad"...


It does concern me a little
since he should have 10-15 words right now
and Nixon doesn't mimic sounds very much.
Instead he screams at high intervals or 
says "uh oh" 100 times a day.


Which is completely adorable by the way.


After a little or a lot
of prodding...my sister agreed
to let me do a minor
evaluation with him.


Now there are kids that develop slower
but it is better to rule in out 
just in case.


No big deal.  My brother Dallin didn't speak
until he was 4 but he did speech therapy early on
and he is the smartest in our family.


This video is to die for.  

PS...gotta love
the finger in the nose...

So cute! I've always considered Sydney a good "talker" but have noticed lately that she has a hard time with the "th" sound. When counting she always says fourteen twice instead of thirteen. 'f' instead of 'th'

He's adorable Bekah! Lincoln isn't much for talking either. He's getting close to two and still has no desire to talk. Good to know I shouldn't worry too much yet. I bet you're such a good therapist!
