Well we are in a new year 2009. Wow! For those of you who do not know I've had some changes in my life. I no longer have my cleaning business. I am currently teaching in a special needs classroom at Ian's school. I whole heartily love it!! I completely enjoy working with these kiddos. They are a joy to be with. Although some days can be trying...I am so blessed to experience these children everyday! The most exciting thing is I am on Ian's school schedule so when he is at school so am I. This job really just fell into my lap. I had been thinking about closing up my cleaning business for a while but couldn't just stop without another source of income. Well... God is awesome and gave me this opportunity.
Anyways... That's all for now. Going to spend some time with my family! God bless and be safe!

Pumpkin Patch Time!
10/18/08
After the Haunted House we went to the gas station I needed a pick me up so we stop to get a cappuccino. All the kids actually had a blast to get something special at the gas station. I told Laura that next year lets just take the kids to the gas station and then the pumpkin patch. They were more thrilled about getting a pop than going to the haunted house. Anyways I digress... we went to the Smith's Famly Farm. The kids had an absolute blast playing on the Farms play area. We were able to sit back and watch them play, play and play some more! After that we loaded them in the "Hummer" wagon and walked through the pumpkin patch. Then to the corn maze. My favorite part was the corn maze. We let the kids decide which way to turn. I pretty much think we were walking in circles the whole time but we made it out!!

Children's Museum Hauted House
10/18/08
It's Halloween time and like every year we go to the Children's Museum's haunted house. This year's theme was a haunted train. We had 2 car loads go... well because we have small cars and all the kids are still in car seats anyways... Our wonderful friend and her children went, Laura, Ethan and Olivia. Also, our niece Reagan went. Of course we went, Keegan, Angela and Ian. In general the kids had fun. Reagan wouldn't let go of an adult
s hand the whole time in the haunted house. Unexpectedly Ethan didn't enjoy it as much as we thought. Olivia and Ian thought it was pretty awesome! The best time was walking over the bridge with the spinning wall around you. Can you say vertigo!! Olivia made it through really easy! I had to walk across 
with Reagan who just stood there and Ian he walked pretty well..but let me tell you I was all over the place and dizzy as all get out! Hey..I had to go through it two times with Reagan and Ian, I have an excuse!! With the haunted house done we went thr
ough the Children's museum. All in all it was a good time. The kids really did enjoy themselves but the parents...well um by the time we made it to the playscape room we were honestly and truly ready to go!

Wedding
10/11/08
After the pumpkin patch, we went to my cousin's wedding. It was a beautiful wedding with fall theme colors. Very nice! Anyways... after the couple’s first dance and they opened the dance floor to everyone. Ian took control. He danced and danced!! He was so cute. It was so wonderful to see him have fun. (He must get his moves from me because his dad can't dance at all! Sorry sweetheart... the lies we tell ourselves only hurt us in the end!)

Grandma & Grandpa Bear & the Pumpkin Patch
10/11/08
Today we went to the pumpkin patch here in town. We had so much fun going with Grandma and Grandpa Bear! Ian was so excited to go to the 
pumpkin patch with the barn. We petted the cats, took a hay ride and picked out some pumpkins. The best part of it all is Grandma Bear and I got us some cushaws!! I know your saying what in the world is "cushaw?" Honestly, I'm not completely sure either. I think it's either a gourd or a squash...all I know is that Grandma Bear made a cushaw pie last year for Thanksgiving... and oh my goodness it was wonderful. I've been talking about cushaw pie all summer long! Now we are in the fall and cushaw season so... I'm be making me some cushaw pie!!

Well, it's Thursday and I still have a cold. You know how some people say feed a cold, starve a cold so on and so forth... I say keep on truckin'!! No time for stopping when you got a cold. It just makes you stronger. I'm not sure if that is sarcasm, bitterness or
how I truly believe? Well, anyways was looking at old pictures again and found this one of Ian and his "buddy" at one of his baseball games this past summer (2008). Each season the teams play at the High School's diamond and the girls baseball team buddy up with the players so the parents can have a break and actually watch their kids play. It's one of my favorite times of the season. Ian seems to enjoy himself thoroughly. The "buddy" has been his for the last two years! The first year all Ian did was run the whole time and she without complaining ran along side of him the full hour! She is an amazing teenager! This past summer Ian actually played with her! It's been awesome to see Ian's progress through the years! God is amazing!! Amen!
