7 Year Pictures
I can't believe we are getting ready to celebrate Spencer's 7th birthday on Sunday, June 22. His party is Saturday June 21 and we are doing a Spongebob theme. It's amazing how fast the years have flown by and seems like only yesterday we were spending our days feeding, changing, exercising, reading, singing and all the baby things you do. Time has went by very fast and I try to take time everyday to drink him in and remember him and the look he has on his face and how much of a blessing he is in my life. What a true Gift from God! He has taught me to never go to fast to slow down and enjoy who he is. He has taught me unconditional love for time when I have got upset he stills loves me no matter what. He has taught me patience that he will do it in his own good time(this one is hard!) Through him I see God and his unconditional love for us, his earthly children and how forgiving he is with us. Thank you Spencer for a wonderful 7 years of loving, learning and sharing! I love you my little baby boy and you will always be that to me! Happy Birthday!

R & R in West Virginia!
What a great state, West Virginia! Ever need to just get away from it all, this is the place to do it. I had no cell phone signal which I learned I can do with out, no high speed internet, which wasn't worth waiting on the downloads and loads of nature and good ole fun! Spencer, Mom and I headed to the mountains on June 3, the day after I finished school. I couldn't wait to get back home! I miss it so much, the serenity of it all helps me to realize I need to relax and enjoy nature and the true meaning of life instead of the rat race I'm in everyday here! Wednesday we rested from our trip but then we started.....campfires, roasting weiners, marshmellow, water play, down on the farm at the camper just sitting talking, no rush to go anywhere, stay as long as you want or as short a while as you want, no pressure, no hurry to do this or that, just soaking nature in! The most stressed I was all week was a trip to the Wal Mart......can't handle Wal Mart most of the time! Other than that it was amazing! My brother took me to the river to get some rock for my borders on my beds around my house and it was so good to put my feet in the FREEZING cold waters. The ole swimming hole we went to as kids, the site of many a river baptizims I had been to when I lived there and just reminising! Went back home along a old railroad grade that has now been turned into camps along the river. It is absolutely amazing. I could keep on and on but by now I think you'll understand why I love it so. Here is a slideshow of some of the adventures we had! Great Time and looking forward to going back the week of the 4th of July for camping on the South Fork of Cherry, fishing, campfires, swimming, hiking, riding ATVs and all the fun of the mountains!
Before long, June 22, Spencer will celebrate his 7th birthday. I can't BELIEVE it! Seems just like yesterday we were in NICU, scared to death that something was going to happen to him and look at him now. A heathly little guy who is amazing! He is as stubborn as his Daddy and Mommie and as strong willed as his Papaw Saul! He is a great kid and I thank God every day that he gave me the opportunity to raise him. He has taught me so much. Patience, understanding, how to slow down, enjoy life and being a all around person that no matter what we can try! I love you little man with all my heart and soul. Thank you for coming to mine and Daddy's life, you are a special little guy!

Great Finish to a Hectic Week
What a week! I don't think I've seen the inside of my house for longer than 1 hour each night before heading off to bed. Then only to wake up and find I have to do it all over again. IEP meetings, teacher retirement dinners, district cookout, graduation, graduation parties, dr. appts, support group, church softball....the list goes on. But it is on the "down side". Tomorrow is a 1/2 day of school, finishing up paperwork, wrapping up end of year meetings, school luncheon, etc. Then on Tues it is off to Wild Wonderful West Virginia for a week of R&R, which both Spencer and I have earned!!! We are so excited. Mammaw has been here 2 weeks helping us out and we're taking her back home and staying for some time to rest! She has been great and could not have done what I had to do this past week without her. On Saturday we went to Hatcher Gardens in Spartanburg, the to a playdate with the Down Syndrome Group in Greenville, then out to GSP Airport to watch President Bush's plane take off after he spoke at Furman University's graduation. We missed the plane taking off because I was so set on arguing with the Secret Service man at the Fed Ex terminal. Go figure all I want is a picture I said to him and he said a picture of what? I said President Bush, he said "there's no one here." I said "yea right so why are you out here with the ear piece in your ear?" Mike yelled from the back "Denise you need to shut up or he'll put your ass in jail!" Well, I just couldn't resist, me and my dumb outspoken self spouting off my tax dollars pay your salary and I should be allowed a picture of the President, I'm not going to do anything, all I want is a pic for my son's scrapbook and on and on....... Needless to say, I made my point, but then a car started following us and I'm sure they were Secret Service making sure I wasn't up to anything. Well, anyway we missed the takeoff, but it was exciting chasing the President around GSP! So that was our Saturday, full of excitement. And by the way, it's no wonder Spencer has attitude with a Mommie that can't even keep her mouth shut around the Secret Service. Oh well, I feel the need to voice my opinion and it's great I live in the US where I can!!! Enjoy the pics!
