Imagination Station


We found the neatest little park about 10 minutes from the house. The wooden play structure is huge and each part of it was donated by different people in the community. They also have miles of walking/biking trails. Below are some pictures of the boys during the week we discovered the park.

How FUN!! So glad you guys found the park and I hope you have tons of fun memories there! And the lizard...glad we don't have them (or I have not seen any) on this side of Tennessee! We have seen a snake and had tick issues at our rental house, we will see what we have here since this will be our first summer in the new house! Thanks for blogging!

It was good to get back to the blog, even if the only reason was because I was avoiding removing wallpaper. Tee hee!

Raccoons!

We have had a raccoon family visiting for the past few days. We have only seen the male once, but the mom and two babies are coming so often that we named them...Coonie, Itsy and Bitz. They come because we feed a "neighborhood cat" on our deck and they help him clean his bowl. The cat was popping the little raccoons in the nose, so the mom came up with a better plan!

STAR Reading

I hesitated to post this, but it's just so amazing to me! Hunter received what is possibly his last reading assessment in elementary school (5th grade). His scores are incredible, but what makes this so unbelievable to me - is where we were 4 years ago.  In first grade, this child struggled with sight words EVERY NIGHT. Seriously, there were tears 4-5 nights per week. Hour long tear filled, flash card sessions...daily. When I look at where Graham is now in 1st grade...reading/sounding out almost every word in front of him with ease...I truly realize how far Hunter has come! So what these results say (to the best of my understanding) is that Hunter is in the 5th grade, 4th month of school (GP 5.44) and tests at a grade equivalent of 12.9+ (compared to other students nationally). He's in the 98/99th percentile and can comprehend up to 80% of 11.4th grade material. So proud of his progress and so grateful for his 1st grade teacher, Ms. Shavon Diggs, who encouraged me to keep going

Full Moon Hike

At the last minute, Hunter and I decided to join some friends at the 1st Full Moon Hike of 2016 at Harrison Bay State Park. We got a late start and had to drive carefully because the roads were a bit icy. We ended up finding the trailhead about 5 minutes after the Ranger and other hikers had started the hike. Some other Rangers and a teacher-friend from Wallace told us to go ahead and they would follow behind in a few more minutes. "Just keep right" they said. About 150 yards in, the path Y'd off...we kept right. The path was a bit muddy and had some cool ice formations. We couldn't seem to catch up to the group, but we were enjoying ourselves. About 3/4 a mile in, there was a loop to the right...it looked like it just went over to the water and came right back to join the trail, so we just stayed straight and didn't waste time with the extra loop. We walked and walked and walked. It got dark...it got muddy. It got muddier - like shin deep icy mud, with briars bei
