Well, christmas has come and gone and so have many other holidays.  We have had some very exciting times.  Hunter has turned 15 and McKennah is ready to turn 4 tomorrow!  We took Hunter to kennywood park for his birthday.... it was a good time.  Halloween came and Mckennah was cinderella.  She took off running down the street holding my hand yelling run mommie! run mommmie!! come on!!! lmao she is adorable.  Hunter walked around town with a group of his friends.... i think more tricking than treating ;)  Mckennah has started speach therapy classes.  First she went to youngstown hearing and speech and the teacher there was not so great.... i moved her to the speech classes at ST.E's in boarmand and WOW what a differance.... she is doing great.  She comes out everyday yelling Me Talked, Me Talked Mommie!!!!  The teacher is trying to get her to say I instead of Me.... so now she sais.. ME I.... lol..
Christmas was wonderful this year, Santa payed us an extra visit during our christmas eve party here at home.  He was great!  Everyone joined in the fun and Mckennah's eye's were HUGE!!  She split her face with a smile ear to ear and couldn't stop hugging him!  She sat on his lap and listened close when he told her she was a big girl now and she needed to sleep in her own bed...... she now does. 
Christmas morning it was hunter waking everyone up!  lol  he was as excited as the rest of us.  Oh, christmas eve hunter and mckennah stood in the kitchen, her on a chair of course and togeother they made reindeer food and proceeded to take it outside and feed the deer.  She danced and sang "here deer, come get ur nummies" while moving to the beat of the christmas music coming from our lights.  She danced all around the yard several times having a great time of it.  Hunter took some food and tossed it into the air and onto the roof so they could eat up there too... .lol.  He is such a good kid and an awesome brother.
Christmas moring was full of excitement, Hunter got his tv replaced and Mckennah got an electric 4wheeler.  Both kids loved all thier gifts.  In the afternoon we went to marsha and dean's and then on to mom and dad's for the evening meal and gift exchanges. 
Merry Christmas!

so halloween has come and gone already... wow!  mckennah was a puppy for the trick or treat they had at the southern park mall and  cinderella for trick or treating here.  it was funny, we took her to grandma eisley's first then down to mom's then headed back home to walk around.  as soon we got home she jumped out of the car, grabbed my hand and hollered run fast mommie! run run run!!! lol.  was laughing the other day how last year she got a reeses cup and didn't like it so she turned around to go back to the house that gave it to her so she could give it back!!!! lmao  childhood innocence is so cute.  she cried this year because she wanted her honey to go with her but he went around with a group of friends from school.... he intended to meet up with us but time got away.  i think he felt pretty bad about diappointing his baby sister. 
mckennah has started speach therapy classes.... so far ok..... at first wasn't sure at all if i liked the lady who is teaching her but things seam to be going better.  we call it her school...talking school.... she gets stickers and books for positive reinforcements.  we took the kids to see toy story 3 the other day cause she did good in school. 
hunter is doing better this year than last, just wish i could get him to understand how important his education is.... feel like i'm fighting with my teenage self!! 
flops cat had kittens, we let mckennah bring one home for a nite..... now woo sais she can bring them all over to her house and keep them there!!! she is so excited!!
hunter is out with dad now squirrel hunting... it is beautiful outside!!  hope they do well, or if not at least this is awesome bonding time for them.

uummhhh let see....... saturday morning Hunter went to help uncle jay with some work around the house, makes me feel pretty darn good that jay called him knowing he would go... and that he did go with no problem.  I got a pretty good kid!  he then rushed home to get ready and work on the ice cream truck for a couple hours before all his friends starting arriving for his back to school bash.... he had a great turn out for that!  about 12 kids came!! Awesome!!  they had a really good time.  So proud of my boy!
Sunday kenna and i got up and went to mom's to make sketty sauce in the outdoor copper kettle.... she had a real good time helpin her nannie and poppie.  i made her and dad a sandwich and packed it up and she marched her little bum down to the fire and sat beside dad while they ate their lunches (awwwhh).  We worked on the sauce till about 130 then packed up and headed for home so i could get ready to run the truck.  She stayed here with hunter and aaron and went swimmin till jason came home. 
while i was workin new middleton i had a couple of young kids want some ice cream.  the older brother let all the siblings pick first and left himself  with only 75 cents so..... i told him if he could entertain me i would give him the ice cream.  lol he started dancing and swingin his arms!!! lol too cute.  then i was chased down by a regular who missed me and begged me to come back.... said he needed me cause his kids were crying for me.... sure is nice to be needed. :)......
today was hunter's first day of high school!!!! can't believe my baby is so grown up!!! wish he was little again!!  kenna cried when he got on the bus.... bye hunny she cried... aawwhhh..he said he really enjoyed school and i hope he keeps that feeling here on in. he is such a smart kid, lets hope he lets himself enjoy that fact and use it.  kenna and i spent the day hanging out at home and then i went to mom's tonight and helped her can peaches.  it was nice just getting to spend some time alone with her. i love my mom!!

hhhmmmmm well, it's been a couple days since my last post.  Monday of this wk Hunter went and picked up his first vehicle!!  Its a 92 toyata mini pickup- a good friend (steve yanni) rode him up to get it on his trailer since it has a blown head gasket.  It's gonna be the perfect first vehicle for him.......... a little fixer upper for him and papa to work on and make lasting memories with.  Tuesday we went to craig beach up at lake milton.  Weather started out a little scary but warmed up nicely. We stopped and got Eerian from Nic and took her with us over to the beach.  Her and McKennah play so nicely together!!  Hunter was right in there tho.... played great with the girls.  I think we all had a pretty good time!
      Came home on tues night and brought Eerian with us.  She and Kenna wanted to sleep overnite in her "outside house"  (clubhouse) so being the great brother Hunter was right there with them..aaaawwwwwwwww!  So cute!  Hunter hauled up an air mattress and a tv, I ran an extension cord for lighting and hung curtains on the door to keep out the creapie crawlies.....  good times!
       Hunter has been cleaning and buffing and sitting and dreaming with his truck everyday... he can't wait to drive/grow up and I miss him being a baby boy!! He is so handsome and smart and so stinkin headstrong!  Lord, I feel bad for my parents now thinking back LOL.
       Today, mom stopped over to drop off some strawberries and Kennah twinkled her nose and next thing I now nannie has both kids in the car and their off to her house!!  Hunter always has had dad wrapped around his finger and now Mckennah is following suit with mom!!  Makes me feel so good tho!!!  I love love love that my parents want to spend time with my kids!!

Went to mom's today with Mckennah and kept an eye on grandma so dad and mom could have a day away.  Grandma's care is very draining to them and they need me time too, so kennah and I spent the day picking blackberries, kicking her ball around and keeping grandma company.  Hunter went to paintball this morning before sis and I went to mom's.  He had a good day too, played a lot of games and enjoyed the hot weather.  It was about 90 out today and then we had a horrible storm........ the sky just broke open and let loose.  This evening Ashley and Chris came over and we played corn hole in the garage for a bit, Aaryn painted a lizard on Hunter's face and Ash gave kennah a fish on hers.  lol   Then kennah decided she wanted to paint  too so she colored her whole belly, jib and face with brown...... she looked like a chocolate covered marshmallow!!
