Happy SEVENTH Birthday, Memphis! 

Five years of knowing you and I can confidently say:

You smile so easily. 

You love a good prank, laugh with your whole body, and do everything you can to make others laugh too.

You have such an adventurous spirit and a curiosity about the world around you. I can already imagine you someday riding dirt bikes or motorcycles - definitely something that brings a little adrenaline!

You work incredibly hard, and once you set a goal, you give it everything you’ve got to achieve it.

Watching you grow, evolve, and become a bigger and stronger version of the same person you have always been is a remarkable experience! 

You are truly one of a kind, and we are the lucky ones who get to know and love you. 

Happy Birthday, Memphis!

FIFTEEN! FIFTEEN! FIFTEEN!

Happy Birthday, Natalie!

You are an extraordinary human with an incredible spirit and heart.

You easily talk to anyone - you have this ability to engage with people leaving them to appreciate your kind heart and sense of humor.

You work hard and are proof of how much one person can accomplish.

You are incredibly independent. You are not easily influenced by others ideas or opinions. Instead, you know what you believe in and share those beliefs with others.

For years, we have watched your resiliency, determination, and kindness grow and evolve.

The sky is the limit for you.

Keep breaking those glass ceilings and showing all of us what is possible!

We love and absolutely adore you!

Happiest of Birthdays to YOU!

Happy 7th Birthday, Alexandra!

Seven!

You are unstoppable!

You come in ready with your ideas, plan, and determination that makes everyone around you lean in a little closer and wonder, "What incredible thing is she going to do today?"

You have this ability to be fully in design mode while creating a new structure but you also know when to take a moment to reset and recharge.

Your confidence is growing. Your curiosity is unstoppable. And the way you move through the world with such purpose and joy leaves us in awe!

We keep learning from you, Alexandra.

You remind us to be present. To find the magic in the small moments. To trust ourselves.

Seven years of you is one of the greatest gifts and we are so honored to witness who you are becoming.

The world is brighter because you're in it.

We love you!

Happy 7th Birthday!

NINE! NINE! NINE!

Happy 9th Birthday, Owen!

Undeniably, Owen is probably one of the most inspiring people you will ever meet. If you are fortunate enough to know him, you have been changed into a better person.

Owen has navigated a life full of doctor appointments, surgeries, and hospital stays. Experiences nobody should have to experience, especially not a child. Through it all, Owen demonstrates resiliency, honesty, and bravery.

He rises.

Even when it feels impossible and hard, he shows up.

If you've ever met his mom, dad, aunt, and grandparents then it all makes sense - how this delightful, wonderful human came to be. He has been raised in an environment full of game changers, people that love deeply, and those that continue to show up no matter the circumstance.

Owen brings magic to ordinary moments. He notices things others might miss. His enthusiasm is similar to that of an athlete that just won a championship game.

He feels deeply, celebrates fully, and connects in a way that is meaningful and full of love.

When Owen sets his mind on something, he moves toward it with a strength that is impossible to ignore. He keeps going, keeps learning, and keeps showing us what growth really looks like.

Owen, you make the world brighter. Better. And a lot more fun!

We love you more than words can hold.

And now … you’re NINE.

Happy Birthday, Owen!

YOU ARE AMAZING!

Happy SIXTH Birthday, CoCo!

From the moment I met you, I knew - you are the kind of person books are written about. Watching your growth in the last year has only made that truth more undeniable.

You approach life with determination, curiosity, and joy.

Your intuition is one of your strengths. You know who is in your corner and those are the people that really get the opportunity to know you!

You are brave in the biggest capacity! You do hard things with courage and you show everyone around you what is truly possible.

Your family's love for you is fierce and unshakable. The bond is one of the most beautiful things to witness.

CoCo, the world has had a whole extra year of you in it and what a year it has been.

There are many wonderful people in this world. But there is only ONE you.

And now … you are SIX!

We cannot wait to see what this next year holds because if there's one thing we know about you, it's that you will meet it with everything you've got.

You are absolutely, wonderfully, and completely AMAZING.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Jenna!

If you have Jenna in your life, you are the most fortunate!

She laughs easily, loves deeply, and shows up fully.

I've never known another person that checks in on her people like Jenna does. If you need anything, she is there.

A couple of years ago, in the month of December when our calendars are packed, I messaged Jenna asking her for her cookie recipe. I was going to a cookie exchange and remembered her cookies are one of the best. At the time, I was navigating different things and life felt really full. I didn't know when or how I was going to make those cookies. Although I didn't tell Jenna that, she, somehow, knew. She said, "I'll just make the cookies for you. When do you need them?" That's Jenna.

Jenna, you live with such authenticity, striving to grow and be better not just for yourself, but for the people around you. And somehow, in the middle of it all, you make others feel deeply loved - like they matter, like they’re seen.

You are hilarious! Laughing with you as we try to figure out life's moments is one of my favorites.

Your organizational skills leave me in awe and you always follow through, but it's your heart that leaves the biggest impact.

You bring a readiness to help, a joy that’s contagious, and an eagerness to grow and evolve.

I'm the luckiest to know you!

Happy birthday, Jenna!

I sure do love you!

Surround yourself with people that show up - the people that love, care, and know exactly how much something means to you.

Today was the groundbreaking ceremony for Brody's Boundless Playground, an inclusive playground being built at 137th and Antioch in Overland Park. This playground honors Brody Rea and will allow people of all abilities to spend time together - all thanks to the partnership with Blue Valley Recreation and the Michael and Brandy Rea Family Foundation.

This event meant so much to me because of Brody - a person I've loved and adored for over 12 years. A person I have an incredibly strong bond with. A person that continues to change the lives of many.

I had moved my schedule to be there, but, earlier this week, I became sick and I've been home for three days. Missing this was devastating.

Kerry, Michelle, and Kim made it a priority to be there. They were there to show their support. They took pictures and videos and made me feel like I was there too. It was a beautiful reminder of the people I've surrounded myself with. It meant the world to me that they were there for the groundbreaking ceremony.

This playground is going to be a game changer for so many - an opportunity for people to be together. Everyone deserves a space where they belong. Everyone deserves a space where they can play, laugh, and move.

Brody’s Boundless Playground will be exactly that.

April is Autism Acceptance Month

At BTH, we honor and celebrate the brilliance, creativity, and uniqueness of Autistic individuals.

We believe that Autism is a different and valid way of experiencing the world.

Neurodiversity makes our communities richer, more innovative, and more compassionate.

Let’s move beyond awareness and into true ACCEPTANCE.

That means:

✔️Presuming competence

✔️Listening to Autistic voices

✔️Creating environments where people are supported to be fully themselves

✔️Understanding that regulation, connection, and joy look different for everyone

We are committed to building spaces where all individuals feel seen, valued, and safe because that is a human right.

This month, join us in celebrating Autistic individuals with curiosity, respect, and love.

Neurodiversity is beautiful.

Acceptance is powerful.

Inclusion is everything.

Last week, I got to dance with the fabulous, wonderful, delightful Mary Maxey (special education teacher on our team).

Dressed in 80s clothes, we were on the dance floor. Neil Diamond and a tambourine.

Let me tell you - there truly is a secret to life and it is finding your people. The ones that bring you joy, happiness, inspiration, and the ones you can be completely and utterly who you are.

My people also happen to love to dance.

The world isn't always easy or gives us what we expect, but there are people out there who bring the happiness and connection.

I hope you have one of those people in your life.

If you don't, start by grabbing a tambourine and get on the dance floor.

Eight! Eight! Eight!

Happy Birthday, Rudra!

Rudra, there is something so special about the way your mind works. The way you remember details, people, and experiences is truly remarkable - it’s like you carry a library of moments with you wherever you go.

Your curiosity and love for learning continue to shine. You dive into the things you love with such eagerness.

Your ideas are big, creative, and full of energy.

What stands out just as much as your brilliance is your heart. The love you have for your family is strong!

You show up as yourself - fully and authentically!

You continue to grow, learn, and surprise us in the best ways.

Watching you become more confident in who you are is such a gift.

The world is better because you are in it, Rudra.

Wishing you the happiest birthday and a year filled with discovery, joy, and all the things you love most.

We love you so much!

Kolby is SIX!

Kolby, you are absolutely brilliant!

The way you create elaborate toy lineups, where characters face each other with just enough space to imagine a dozen different storylines shows a mind bursting with creativity and intention. It’s an invitation into your world, where anything is possible.

Your joy is radiant, your love is fierce, and your heart is so big.

You are a protector. And in the most beautiful way. There's nothing better than the feeling of you running full speed into our arms for a hug.

Your enthusiasm for all toys is contagious. You remind us that wonder can be found in even the smallest things. Watching you play, laugh, and dream is a gift we never take for granted.

We love you, Kolby.

Keep being exactly who you are.

The world is better with you in it.

Happy SIXTH Birthday!
