When you are a parent you spend most of your days contemplating is my child getting what I am trying to teach them about life. Some days you feel like a failure and sometimes you feel like a huge success. This morning was one of those good days!
The most important fact of life that Andy and I can teach Pumpkin is the grace of Jesus Christ, if you have that in your life you are great. This lovely morning Andy passed by Pumpkins toy room and she was playing Barbies. This is what he heard one Barbie say to the other "Have you heard about Jesus? Second Barbie "No." First Barbie again "Well let me tell you about him." Praise the Lord!

Channeling John McEnroe
First let me say I realize I promised to keep up with the blog and I haven't sorry, but no more promises you will get what you get.
Pumpkin's school had a Fun Run to raise money a couple of weeks ago. She did great and ran 28 laps in 30 minutes! Earlier in the week she had won a headband and wristbands for her pledges(which basically means I paid 100.00 for these items) Pumpkin was very excited and put them on and started posing. Now I know for a fact that my daughter is pretty so could you please tell me how she looks just like John McEnroe in these pictures?

Bad Blogger
I know I said I was going to do better and I did not, but I am truly going to stay on top of blogging now. School has started and I have a lot more free time so I am going to try and do this every day! Since I missed most of the summer here are the highlights:
VBS was great, we had over 105 kids and decisions were made
We went to Denver to see our new nephew
We went horseback riding, Pumpkin for the first time(she loved it)
We went to a baseball game
We spent many hot hours in a gym
We spent many hours playing Barbie
That is how we spent our time this summer. We did a ton of fun activities and I am really sorry Pumpkin is back in school. She started back on Tuesday and now she is a big first grader.
I am filling my time with a new walking group, who maybe trying to kill me! I am also going to participate in a book club for children. I promise to keep this updated with all our fun adventures this year.

Shopping
Anyone who knows me longer than five minutes knows I have a passion for shopping. My husband says that my family carries a shopping gene. I do believe that this is possible and I am looking into funding for research on this particular gene. My mom passed me the gene and now I have passed it on to Pumpkin.

New Baby
There is a new baby in the family! My brother and sister- in- law had a handsome baby boy on Friday! He weighed 7lbs 3 ounces and is to cute! Congrats!
Holiday World
Day: Friday June, 6th
Time: 5:00
Phone call: To Andy
Conversation: Hey when you get home from work why don't we pack up the car and go to Holiday World!
Which is excatly what we did. Andy arrived home around 6:45 and we were in our car by 7:45 on our way to Holiday World. Pumpkin had seen a carnival set up in town and was begging to go, I am not a huge fan of carnivals (hello anyone ever seen Funhouse?) so I thought a great compromise would be traveling to an amusement park! We called Philip and Andi to see if they wanted to join in our fun. They did, so we headed to Louisville. Saturday we made it to Holiday World and had a blast! The best thing about this place is free sodas! All day long all through the park they have FREE sodas. Cool! We had a ton of fun with Philip, Andi and their little one.(who was amazing) It was nice to spend time together before they move so far away from us.
Pumpkins fave part of course was the water park. For you who don't know Holiday World is not only an amusement park but also a water park. So great fun was had by all. We left there around 9:00 and arrived home at midnight and was up bright and early for church on Sunday. It was well worth being tired on Sunday. You only live once and great memories were made.
