Hi All. i guess i will just jump right in on what is happening in our lives. Lets start with Hunter

as most of you know he is six and in the first grade. He has been having some trouble controlling his words and hi STRENGTH. lol. he says he tries really hard NOT to. reall really hard he tells me. the recent is calling a little boy a "Butthead" not too bad in my books, much more inappropriate words....but i guess it is not appropriate in school. so we explained to him about using nice owrds and if nothing nice can be said to turn around and walk away. we will see. so far so good. i really like the new school we have chosen for him as well as the teacher. lets hope that keeps up for the year. we sent him with his splints for the first time on thurs. in case you are not aware hunter has to wear ankle/foot orthodics because he walks on his tippy toes (like a ballerina). his leg and ankle muscles are tight which prevents him from walking flat foot. its pretty bad. so he has to wear these splints that go to just below his knees. he does pretty good with them and tries REALLY hard not to complain. the bug thing was finding shoes that fit his splints. he has big feet to begin wi th. but w3e did. he just has trouble getting them on. but anyway he did really good with them at school:). huge bonus.

Here is Hunters class on thursday, they had rider pride day (the riders are our football team)

Hunter is currently in two extra curricular activities. Beavers and Choir, he will soon be starting indoor soccer too. he is REALLY good at the choir and he really enjoys himself. we are really greatful for this program. he has his concert on Dec 16th, sure i will have pics to share of that. Beavers is going good. FOR HUNTER. He really likes all the activities they do and is always excited for it. BUT, the other kids are very HORRIBLY behaved. al says it almost makes him want to pull hunter out. the only thing keeping him from doing it is that hunter loves it so much. we hope soccer goes good.

Al starts a new job on tues. FINALLY he got a welding job. it took like 3 months, with a short retial job in between. they were really sad to see him go at the retail store, they said he was the best hire of the street they have ever had. he offered to stay part time 2-3 evenings a week. they told him they wanted him every day on the weekend and three days in the week, he said i don't think so, so he handed his badge in on friday and said see ya. if you don't want to work WITH me then i don't want to work with you. its ok though. he will be making good money at his new job. we are pretty excited and i am really proud. it has been a long road. its nice to finally have SOMTHING go right. lets hope this job works out.

Nothing much going on with me. still working in daycare. kids are driving me BANANAS....lol. i think i need another job...but its so hard. i really like my boss and she is very accomadating. HARD to find that these days. so i have no idea what to do. only time will tell i suppose.

Weather is still nice. UNUSAULLY nice. we usaully have snow a foot high by now. we have had MAYBE two light flurries that melted INSTANT. it was tshirt wether today. STRANGE. i won't complain though. Global warming i suppose. hahaha.

This is us at the pumpkin patch about two weeks before hallowen:) it was tons of fun
