On May 27, Spencer's school held their 1st Elementary Awards day ceremony. Spencer received Star Athlete Award! It was great and of course Mommie cried! All of the students are great and try their best. They love life, if we could all take lessons from children with disabilities, we would be so happy!! Enjoy the show!

Black Eye
It's been a while since I've blogged, things have been so busy winding down the end of the year. The 1st of April I had arthoscopic knee surgery and have done really well, I almost have full range back in my knee movement. Mom came down and stayed 2 weeks with us, it was so nice to have her here, she is a HUGE help when she is here!!! Thanks Moma!
The latest, Spencer was hit in the eye at school with a shoe by a fellow classmate. As you can see in the pics, it's a shiner. It didn't swell much thanks to the teachers putting ice on it. I don't think he realizes he has it, but the teacher said 1st he was upset at the student then he started crying....they felt so bad, but hey, things happen. This was his first so of course I took pics.
Hope all of you are doing great! We are looking forward to summer, swimming in our pool and visiting WV and all of our family!!!

Promise Yourself
Promise Yourself
Posted by ypierre
Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can
disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to
every person you meet.
To make all your friends feel like there is
something in them. To look at the sunny side of everything and make your
optimism come true.
To think only of the best, to work only for the best,
and expect only the best. To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others
as you are about your own.
To forget the mistakes of the past and press on the
greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give
every living person you meet a smile.
To give so much time to the improvement of yourself
that you have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, and too
strong for fear, and to happy to permit the
presence of trouble.

Lovin' Life
GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME! ALL THE TIME GOD IS GOOD! Even when things are tough and I don't think I can handle things, Spencer shows me that God's love is everlasting by a hug, kiss and random snuggle time! He is such an awesome kid and I love being his Mommie! I look at him everyday and think I am so fortunate to have him for a child that through him I have seen God's grace and beauty everyday. When I'm down and out I find peace in knowing that I truly have a child of GOD!! He will always be a child of God and through him God is showing me his peace, love, understanding, compassion, healing, unconditional love and patience. I could use a thesaurus and continue on forever! I am so proud of Spencer! I love you son and you are the light of my life, my sunshine and my forever!

New Playset
We got Spencer a new playset for his birthday.....yes, his b'day isn't until June but why wait till then. He loves it and really had a hard time waiting for Dad to put it together. He helped and loved being outside with Dad. Here are a few shots of him helping put it together and playing on it afterwards. It needs tarp coverings, which Bubbles the dog decided to chew up while we were at church one Sunday and new ropes for the glider. We had to reorder these, but he loves playing on it anyway!
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

Valentine's Day
I love this day, it's the only day I feel like all that korny red, pink and white are so beautiful! It was a fun day....we had a bake sale at school to raise money for our class trip to Discovery Zone and we had all kinds of red, white & pink things....the students loved them. I always buy Spencer some type of stuffed Vday animal. This year I got him a gorilla the makes a cute kiss sound when you squeeze it's tummy. He thought is was great. He also got Vol. 2 of Old School Sesame Street which he absolutely loves it. Here is our day!

Sara Brockman's Birthday Party
Spencer was invited to Pump It Up in Spartanburg for Sara's birthday party. It was so much fun! He loved the bouncy blow up and the slides. The adults could even play on them also. Enjoy his pics!
Elmo in Spartanburg
In January, we took Spencer to see Elmo with Mary & Quinn. Spencer nevers asks for anything and I know if he could speak, he would say "Mommie can we go see Elmo"? He loves Elmo and enjoyed the show.

What a great Christmas! We were in WV for Christmas Day which we hadn't been for 3 years. It was nice, we were all together for the 1st Christmas in a long time! Here is a Video I put together to share with you!

WOW, it's here!
The pictures of Spencer on a horse are from Eden Farms. We went there for Santa to come down the mountain. It is a theaputic riding farm and is awesome. It's in Dacusville, SC.
Christmas is here and I can't believe it. Seems like only yesterday it was Halloween and here it is a week before Christmas and I've almost everything is done, but I'm still anxious and I think Spencer is feeling the anxiety also. He's having trouble sleeping and going to sleep. Hopefully once school is out Thurs., we will be able to chill and relax and enjoy our days before Christmas.
Also in the pics is Spencer & I feeding the Reindeer in the Reindeer Forest at a local zoo of ours. They have light displays up and you drive through and can go into the Reindeer Forest. He loved it and the deer were excited to get bread!
We went to WV for Thanksgiving and had a great visit with all the family! On Sat we took Brooke and Samantha to the WV/UConn game. We all had a great time! We love our Mountaineers!

The Wiggles
On Wednesday we took Spencer to see his favorite group The Wiggles. Not sure how he'd handle it because the last time we went he freaked out and we were way back in the crowd. Got to the BiLo Center and we were in the middle section 2nd row back. I thought oh no, he'll freak, but he didn't he love it and it was amazing to watch him watch them! It was if you could hear him speech, they're real and big! He got a Captain Feathersword sword and loves it, he's his favorite. What a great experience for us as a family to go and watch this and it be enjoyable for Spencer! It was so much fun as you can see from the pic!

OCTOBER FLEW BY!
Wooooo, where did October go! It's the 1st of Nov and I can't believe I haven't posted since the end of Sept. It's going to get busier with the holidays coming up.
First, I've lost a total of 70 lbs since the 1st of Aug! I need to lose 10 by the end of November to be where the dr wants me to be. I feel so good, but have knee pain. The dr says I need a total knee replacement, but I'm hoping with more weight loss, it will get feel better and I can put that off for some time. I got a shot of cortizone 1 1/2 weeks ago and it made it almost 100% better. We just pray that I can get some time out of the old knee before it has to be totally replaced.
We attended the Walk to Remember in memory of Madelyn Jane, our daughter we lost soon to be 8 years ago. It is always an emotional day for us as we miss her alot and wonder what she would be like. Tammie, Samantha and Ronald attended with us. It is nice to have some support on a day like this.
Spencer finished his Miracle League season, but due to rain it was held in a gym. He didn't like this at all due to sensory issues. We had to leave early as the echo of sounds really bothered him.
Lastly we went Trunk or Treating at a local church. Spencer wasn't thrilled, but tolerated it. He wanted on the playground, to heck with the candy, he wanted to swing! We met his sitter and her family there. Spencer & Quinn have fun.
Hope that we can slow down with the upcoming holidays and enjoy the reason for the season.
Our favorite college team, West Virginia Mountaineers are doing great and hopefully will win the next 4 games and put them in a BCS Bowl game. We are going to the Pitt Game on Dec 1. I Love Mountaineers Football!
