Death in the family

You know that saying it'll never be me? Well I have had a lot of time to change my option on that saying these past couple of weeks. I use to say I'm to young to worry about death but now I don't think that. My brother in law passed away the 15th. He was only 48 we just had his birthday party the same day as Caleb's (mike's birthday was the 5th) we just hung out watched football together and ate cake at Jason's grandmothers birthday the day before he passed. He was healthy ate right worked out but it was his time I guess. Now here we are a little over a week later and it's his daughters 13th birthday. The first of many to come without him here. We are all trying to be there for them(his family) but not knowing what to say or do is hard. I want my family to know I love them and will be there for them if they need until it is my time to go. To any other person who is going through a situation like this I wish you strength and love and comfort.

Its Been Awhile

Ahh hello again. I know its been awhile but we were on fall break. So I chose to do nothing but spend it with family. (sorry guys) We just hung out played games watched T.V. and that was it. Nothing to big happing we got the floor poured and forms set up to pour the driveway and sidewalk for Jasons building. I got a new video game (Resident Evil 6) its so awesome and I just want to play until I beat it. I'm also reading a new book Shadowfell so far its really great. I'll let you know how it is after I'm done reading. I hope you all are doing well. I'm working on a blog post that I may be a little addicted to this thing. I'll explain more when I have all my info together. (it may take a long time for that though) If the research takes forever I'll do a let you know whats going on with it. Okay guys heres my pics for today. Hope you enjoy.

3 day weekend

Hello everyone, this weekend was pretty laid back and it just followed into monday as well. Saturday all 3 of my boys went to the movies (I didnt go) to see Frankenweenie. They said it was really good its just not my cup of tea when it comes to movies. A cold front came in so it was FREEZEING all weekend. Saturday night Logan went to stay the noght at a friends and Sunday they (logan and his friend) came back here (the friend stayed a couple hours). We also got Logans Halloween costume. Hes going to be a ninja. Caleb wants to be Sonic the Hedgehog but we havent been able to find one in his size. Monday came and was Cloumbus day and I wasnt feeling well (thats why it was a 3 day weekend) but the kids had school and everything else was pretty normal. Because I was sick I didnt tkae any pictures so I'm just going to post some random ones. Hope you enjoy.

Caleb 6 Logan 5

A good day all and all.

It was Calebs birthday so the day was all about him. From waking up and opening his gifts to having no school.

Waiting to open gifts

 

After he opened his gifts we hung out and played with all his new stuff. Logan had to go to school so Jason took him. Caleb and I just watch T.V. and talked about what he was going to spend his birthday money on. We waited on the mail to see if he would get anything, His mom sent him $40 in the mail (which came around 10:30). Caleb got to pick lunch (Mcdonalds) and then we went to ToysRUs, Target, Quail Springs Mall, and Walmart so he could spend his money (all together he had $111). While at the mall we  got a cookie cake to eat after dinner. We then came home and just got back before Logan. Logan had home work then the boys played together and video games. I started dinner we had porkchops greenbeans and rice (I thought it turned out good). We then just hung out until bed.

                                          And now some random pics from around my yard.

 

Happy Birthday Caleb

First off Happy 13th birthday to my handsome young man Caleb. You are growing up way to fast but becoming a wonderful young man.

 Okay so I know its been a super long time since you guys have heard from me. I am really sorry about that! The thing is I don't know if I'm going to make this and everyday of the week blog or just weekday? I think it would be easier if it were just weekdays because I could write this while Caleb was doing school(when he doesn't need my help). That way I know I'll have time and wont forget.

Okay to get to whats been going on. Friday was an normal day kids had school Jason went to work and helped Caleb and did some things around the house. Saturday was fun the boys went with their grandpa and three of the cousins to a wildlife and fishing expo. They had a blast came home with some goodies. Caleb had won a home made bow. Jason and I got to spend some time just us and that was fun for us(ans to be honest a little boring we almost don't know what to do without the boys). Sunday we had Birthday parties and the grandparents house for Jake(nephew) Caleb and Mike (brother-n-law). Monday through Wednesday was pretty normal Caleb had group on Wednesday evening then I needed to take Logan to get Caleb a gift ( his birthday being the next day and all it needed to be done), I will talk about Thursday tomorrow (living the day writing about it the next). Here are some pictures of our week so far and a few of the target pictures we had done.

 

Room change

Yesterday was a good day, it started off normal the Logan went to school and Caleb and I did school. Jason stayed home because it was raining. After school was done I went upstairs to move Logan into his own room. A little background is we have a three bedroom home, where berfore yesterday the boys shared on upstairs room and used the other as a game room. The plan was to use it as such until I got pregnat and then it would be the babies room. The room they shared before was double almost tripple the size of the other room so it was a fine size. If/when I do get pregant then they will go back to sharing a room and it will be the nursery. Which they know and are okay with. Logan agreed to take the smaller room because it has and will keep the big TV and XBOX. (another thing they both knew but now that its been changed Caleb doesnt like) Okay so I'll show you the before of  the boys shared room and a picture of the game room (its a picture of when we first moved in as I have none of it as a gameroom)
