Well, last week was busy... eventful... stressful... and some of it was just bullshit!
We went and toured HGA... Stacy and I thought it was FANTASTIC! Of course we had 2 days of negativity and crap from Courtney. But, at this point she is willing to go. We are also trying to get her in to start in the April session. We had originally were hoping for her to start in January... but after I called and spoke to admissions... there is just no way we can get everything in order by the cut off date. So... our new target date is April.
It was a stressful few days dealing with that stuff. Courtney was making EVERYONE miserable!!
Once we got that all sorted out we were hit with a surprise visit from Dog Law AND a Humane Society officer... WITH 3 (THREE) trucks full of crates to take animals out of our house!!!! Oh yes... some MORON called and reported us for living in unsanitary conditions... having chickens, ducks and OTHER LIVESTOCK living in our house WITH us!!!!!!!! For goodness sake.
Both gentlemen were in shock to walk into our clean home and see I have ALL of our vet paperwork and other dog paperwork in order!! They seriously said they were told and were expecting to see a house FULL of animals and grossness, according to what they were told on the phone by the person (IDIOT) that reported us!!
Just another case of someone being way too occupied with our lives and causing us issues! People need better hobbies!! It turned out to be a nice visit with these guys. But really not something I had the time for... we were already a bit behind in school work... and I HATE feeling behind in school work!
Friday night was another training session for Gunner. Stacy went along and worked Gunner... good thing, I was still fuming about the days "surprise"!!
Training went really well. Gunner is getting use to working with Tim and Carol... and he was very accepting to hugs from Tim. It is a really nice feeling now... not being so worried about what Gunner will do, every time I take him out in public. Now to figure out what direction we want to take Gunner's training in. I really want to do "something" with him... that was the whole point of getting him!
Saturday Nathan turned 11!! Holy Cow... time sure is flying by quick!!! My baby is 11 :-(
Stacy and Brittany went hunting with my grandfather in the morning. We picked up our beef later in the morning. The kids had their art lessons in the after noon... THEN, after all of that... Nathan's BDay celebration began!!
We went to Cracker Barrel for dinner... Grammy and Pappy joined us. It was Pappy's BDay too!!
After our yummy meal... we took on a corn maze at night... with flashlights!!! NOT EASY!!!! But way fun!!! I really laughed way too much. OMGoodness!!!! I think it was even frustrating Pappy! But we had soooo much fun.
Once we found our way out of the BIG part of the maze... we tried the little maze. It was definitely easier... but still a challenge. The night ended with some peddle cart racing and playing on the farm/playground equipment!
Yesterday we got serious about the pending storm. We had one gas can that needed filled... and I wanted to have my car tank filled too. The truck got moved away from the woods... no falling tree will get my truck!! Stacy went up and checked out the trees around the garage. There was one we were worried about falling... so he made sure if it does come down... it wont be toward our garage.
We also stopped and picked up a RX we had dropped off last week for Nathan.
We also took in the sights of the frenzy!!! Gas stations were out of gas... no bottled water to be found... ANYWHERE. No flashlights or batteries either. It was just pure craziness!!!
Schools are all canceled today and tomorrow. And here we sit.... waiting. I got some crocheting done. I have a few more little projects I would like to finish up. Then, I have no idea what the hell I will be doing!! LOL!!!
I am a little on edge, since Stacy is at work... and we just arent sure how bad we will really get hit with this storm. But, I know I can handle whatever the weather throws our way.
The dogs are all pacing/patrolling the house. They arent very happy. Nathan is worrying his little heart out. UGH! Waiting is the worst.
Ok... well there is our update.

Another Monday!!
Ahhhh... yes, another Monday! At least it is nice and sunny out. Actually, it is rather beautiful looking outside. I LOVE the fall colors that I see when I look out any of my windows. The mountains are putting on quite a show!! :-)
I know there are some that think I am crazy... for our Sasquatch hunting adventure!! I dont care. I had so much fun with Brittany yesterday! We laughed, we schemed, we just had an all around good time together. I get sad when I think that our times like that are numbered. She is getting older... I am sure she wont want to do things like that much longer... although I can hope that she will.
Josh went out on a camping adventure over the weekend. With his friend Kara!
I am so glad I took time to camp with my kids...and that they will take that into their future!
He took our tent... packed up his little car...and set out into the woods, up state... during HUNTING SEASON... UGH! Oh well, he checked in with me twice a day... so I didnt have to go looking for him...LOL! And he made it home safe yesterday evening. He is sounding a bit rough... I hope he GOES TO THE DOCTOR!!!!!!
Today we have some catching up to do on our school work. Not a real big deal. Nathan has his first therapy appt this morning!! He is looking forward to learning skills to keep him from worrying so much! I am very proud of him for being open to this.
Other than that... just another typical Monday! I hope to get out of a walk today... I got on the scale this morning and was NOT pleased with what I saw!!!! :-(
Ok... gotta get moving on with our day! We have MUCH to learn... and some sun and beautiful scenery to enjoy! :-D

Sasquatch Hunting...
Sooooo.... Brittany and I decided to take Gunner up to the hang glider spot today, to run and play! WELL, with the recent BigFoot sighting... we decided to turn our adventure into a Sasquatch Hunt. Of course, we recorded our time spent in the woods with step by step texts to Stacy!! LMBO
Here is the run down--
October 21st, 2012:
15:31- Squatch activity, pulling out the canine to do some tracking. Will report back later.
15:40- (after Stacy LOL'd us) This is some serious business. We are now licensed squatch hunters. No laughing out loud!
15:45- Hang glider activity. Canine spotted horse shit.
15:50- Canine succeeded in getting a sample (of horse shit)
15:55- More evidence found and photographed (squatch gloves and odd tree markings)
15:57- Note: Squatches eat fruit cups
16:11- preoccuppied by MAJOR hang glider activity. You should come up on your way thru. NOTE: canine doing great.
16:21- It's a party up here. No more squatch activity seen or noted.
16:25- There are 6 hang gliders in the sky right now.
17:00- Continuing to play fetch with Gunner
17:37- While heading home Brittany exited the truck to participate in a secret snatch and grab mission -- Code Name: FERNS! Mission was a success!
LMFAO... Let me tell you... Brittany and I had THE BEST time up in the mountain today!! :-D
Gunner did AMAZING... EVEN when the stupid guy wanted to give me the 3rd degree because I said his kid couldnt pet my dog. I explained that Gunner isnt very fond of ppl. Well, that set this asshole into a tizzy... he couldnt understand why I had a nasty dog in the mountains!! Hey douche bag... my dog was COMPLETELY under control the ENTIRE time... even when you were harassing me!!! WOOOO HOOOOO... GOOOO GUNNER!!!
I almost told him to take 2 more steps closer to me to see my dog NASTY!! But I refrained and used the situation as a learning experience for Gunner.
It did bother me for awhile tho.
OK... Sasquatch Hunter, Amy, signing off for the evening. ;-)

A great time!
Our Harvest Gathering turned out to be an AWESOME evening!! I laughed way too much... my "laugh muscles" hurt today. Which is a welcomed hurt... since my back has been so bad lately! (For anyone keeping track... my bruising is a really yucky greenish/purplish now!! Ewwwww!! But I am hoping by tomorrow it wont hurt to put my brace on.)
Anyway... it was an enjoyable evening. Watching Aunt Vickie and Aunt Brenda together.... HILARIOUS. Listening to Jason and Stacy tell stories... also VERY funny! Having good company to share it all with... AMAZING!!
I wont even try to get into telling stories from last nite... it will NEVER do it justice!!!
All of the harvest goodies were yummy. I will share some recipes this week!!
I think we will definitely have to have more get togethers... and I am still stuck on a card nite or something every once in awhile!
Today the guys are hard at work on the roof. And it is an easy day for me... my house is fairly clean and laundry is mostly caught up! I will be taking it easy... hoping my back feels better... I really want to get a nice hike in this weekend! I skipped the Gratz Craft Fair today... I didnt want to do all that walking right now.
Oh, yesterday's meeting about Courtney went better than expected. We hope we are on track now and we can continue to move forward with her goals and plans. This Wednesday we go to visit HGA!!! This Tuesday she starts DRIVING LESSONS!!!
RECIPE!!!!---
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 Cup unsalted butter, room temp
1 Cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 Cup solid packed, pumpkin puree
1 Cup semisweet choc chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place rack inthe middle of oven. Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners
In large bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, ground spices and salt.
In the bowl of your electric mixer (or hand mixer), cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla extract. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. With mixer on low speed, alternately add the flour mixture and the pumpkin puree, in 3 additions, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Fold in choc chips.
Fill the muffin cups evenly with the batter (you can use an ice cream scoop for this!) Place in the oven and bake for about 18-20 minutes... or until firm to the touch and a toothpick comes out clean. Cool on wire rack.
NOTE--
You can also bake this batter in a loaf pan!!! Butter the pan first. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 - 60 minutes.

Weekend to almost mid week!
Wow... it seems that time is just flying by! Here we are... Tuesday already!!!
The weekend was pretty good... even with the insane amount of pain I was feeling. I some how managed to screw up my back... probably working with Gunner.
Friday our roof was FINALLY delivered and we got all of the supplies we needed. AND, Stacy realized that Nathan was very much correct in saying the wheels on the big trailer werent sitting right.
Saturday Stacy and his dad got to work on the roof. Just the 2 of them. We now how scaffolding decorating the front of our house... and they did start to get the wood screwed down. I think they got 2 pieces of metal on the front part of the main roof too.
I spent most of Saturday hopped up on pain meds and muscle relaxers... but I did manage to get a NICE fire going!! Want something done right... gotta do it yourself!!
Sunday we went on another State Game Lands tour... 110, I believe. Nothing really worth writing about. I wish we would have stayed more local and did the one down by Stoney Creek.
I have made HUGE amounts of progress with my crafts! I got my pumpkin jars done and they look great!!
I also made some progress working with the Rit Dye... my first time!!! Not only did I dye some kitchen hand towels... but also some wood!!! (and yes, I meant to do it...LOL) It works WONDERFULLY!!!
I am also hard at work on new pictures in our dining room "window" frame!!! FINALLY!!!!
I have found my creativity is bursting through lately!! So much better than focusing on negative crap, I guess!
Yesterday I had my first appt with my new chiropractor!!! I NEEDED it. My back was working against me since last week... and I was MISERABLE!!
I was completely out of alignment!! He worked on me for about an hour!! I cracked and popped so many times it wasnt even funny... BUT... I was able to walk out of his office a whole lot straighter and in way less pain! Of course, the headache hit once I got home...and NOTHING was taking it away. I drank TONS of water, like I was told.
Today the head ache is gone... but I feel like I was hit by a truck. I guess that is what can be expected when you get realigned. My muscles have to remember where they are actually suppose to be and how to work there. I go back on Thursday to see if I kept my adjustments... and to make any more that may be necessary. I really hope to be back to 100% by next week!
Today I need to do some laundry and pay bills.... BLAH!!! I have 2 adorable little puppies keeping me company... so maybe it wont be so bad! LOL!! OMGoodness... these gals are gettting more and more cute!!! They are starting to play!!!!! ADORABLE!!! They are still wobbly on their paws... but they bat at eachother and try to growl and bark!
I am thinking we may start to try mushy food this week. They are starting to show interest in Ellie's food bowl!! Especially Runway... the little tubby thing. She is ALL about food...LOL!!
Ollie's mom actually asked about them. She is interested in taking one. Not sure how I feel about that. Not that she is a bad person... I always got along with her and we did a lot of stuff together. We have alot in common. I actually really miss hanging out with her. But, it is still Ollie's mom. Ah... I have time to figure it all out.
Guess I should get to work on my list for today... things get all crazy come this evening... with Jeremy Project and gymnastics.
My cuties!!

Roof...?!?!?
So here we are... the second Friday in a row... waiting on our roof to be delivered! AND... this whole ordeal was started over 5 weeks ago!!! AND... IT IS PAID FOR!!!! I am getting cranky about it now! BUT... I am letting my hubby deal with it...he needs to "find his voice"! I just need to know so I can plan my weekend! Grrrr!!
Guess what I am doing again today? Yes... straining more pumpkin! LOL!! Added bonus- I get to bake with the pumpkin I am straining today!! :-) Pumpkin Choc Chip Muffins AND Pumpkin Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Icing!
Yesterday after Stacy got home we headed out to pick up scaffolding at Uncle Rodney's. Then we stopped for a visit at Stacy's parents.... and there was more scaffolding there. Some how the kids managed to get new slippers out of the visit! LOL!! WITH pom poms! I cant be jealous... I got a new crochet pattern while I was there! ;-) Thank you, Grammy.
After our visit we hit TSC for feed... then WalMart so I could pick up a few items I needed for baking today!
Once we got home Brittany and I headed out side... in the dark... to pick peppers. There was a freeze warning and I didnt want to lose what was out there. I have a boat load of hot peppers. If all goes well, I will be making hot pepper jelly this weekend. I have never made it before... but I am going to try it, since I have PLENTY of peppers!!! I WILL be wearing gloves, a mask and eye protection... LMBO! Those things damn near killed me last time!
We also brought in all of my potted plants last night. They are so pretty... I dont want them to die! I guess I will find space in the side kitchen for them over winter.
This morning, as I was watching Nathan do long division ON HIS OWN... I cant help but to be bubbling with pride in him!!! If you had any idea of the NIGHTMARE this task was last year... you would understand why I feel the way I do!!!! So yes, AGAIN, I say I am super proud of him!! :-D
Actually... this year ALL subjects are going pretty smooth. He is definitely becoming more mature and independent in regards to school. I am super pleased!!
Well, nothing is getting done with me just sitting here... Gotta get my butt to work!! :-)

Busy next few days!!
The time is FINALLY here!! Our roof should be delivered today!!!
Which means tonight I have to help Stacy clear off his big trailer to haul rough cut wood from Gessner's tomorrow... AND we get to go to Uncle Rodney's to pick up scaffolding. Tomorrow we run for wood after work and start getting it attached to the roof. Saturday Stacy and his Dad start installing the roof!
I also have some baking to do tomorrow... pumpkins all being pureed and strained today. I have to come up with yummy treats (which I am thinking Pumpkin cupcakes and pumpkin choc chip muffins) for the Wic Fire Co (Brenda) to sell at Lyken's Fall Festival Saturday... and get them to her!
I also have to come up with some food for Saturday... cant have hungry guys hanging off the roof.
It will be a busy weekend... that will fly by me way too fast... grrr
Let me just say that I am a little OCD with straining pumpkin!!! OMG... I will be here all day, and all night since I have more in the crockpot now!! LOL!! I am packaging it all up in 2 Cup portions and putting it into the freezer for later use. I have A LOT of pumpkin!!
I have to get to cut my herbs back and get them into the dehydrator. Thank God for the vacuum sealer!! :-) That is one of those kitchen gadgets worth their weight in gold! LOL! That and my KitchenAid!!
I guess I will pull off whatever peppers I have left growing and call it a year for them too. Time to pull out those plants and get those beds covered up for the winter.
We actually have some really nice looking beets and carrots coming up right now too!! Those will have to wait another few weeks... I just dont have the time to deal with them right now.
I have been taking time everyday to play and work Gunner! He LOVES "our" time together... LOL!!
Ellie is starting to teach her babies to play!!! I am pretty sure I saw Runway play bowing at Gunner last night while we had them out on the bed. They are really starting to get their legs too!! They arent real steady... but boy, can they move! They are so damn adorable!!!
Ok... gotta get to getting some things finished up... THEN to pull out the Rit Dye AND ModPodge!! :-)
I have a new recipe I will be sharing tomorrow!!! PORK CHOPS!!
