Family Updates

October was a busy month to say the least. We have Mom all moved into her aparment, flooring is done (we wont mention the water leak!). We have been doing a few repairs, Mom and I need coveralls for XMAS! We anchored down the dish washer, and put a door sweep on the bottom of her door. We worked our tails off pulling weeds in the back yard and making a junk pile from the basement. We have started finishing the theater room so we can get the boys out of the "Love Hut". I promise you it is a very scary sight to walk into that room when all the boys have been home for the weekend. Its pretty gross really. BOYS! The other day Mother and I winterized the Fifth Wheel and the Coach, yes we did....we are super stars! We started on the boat but that sucker is so big and overwhelming we had to call Andy for back up. We are almost there just a few more things to do on it and we will be golden. We are go getters thats for sure. I looked out back the other day and what did I see? My Mother on top of her RV trying to cover it herself. Good Grief......heart attack!

Here is the low down on the kids. Caleb is doing well in school and works out every morning. He started on protien shakes and he is bound and determined to have a six pack. He goes through a girlfriend every couple of weeks, total love bug.


Morgan is doing well, he moved home last weekend YES!!!. Took me two days to get him transferred from school to school but we finally have him settled. He and the boys went hunting a few weekends ago and he bit the head off a duck...clean off! Wasnt super thrilled the other day when he rolled the Ranger but happy he wore his helmet and seat belt. He was fine but in tears by the time I got to him.....another vehicle wrecked for the year.


Houstin is doing good in school, his mother had a baby girl and he is playing big brother quite well. Miss him all the time!!!! He called on Sunday and killed a deer, I am so proud of him. His grades are so good!


Kayl....oh I am so proud of him! He is pulling good grades and working very hard. He is still dating Taryn and he is just as handsome as ever, Kayl also got a deer on Sunday.....good job KAYL! He and Morgan were down in the theater room on Sunday with Andy hanging sheet rock. I made one of his favorite dinners.....Chili Verde.


Mom was very sick this week but she seems to be doing better. She is actually eating this morning which is amazing considering she only had a little rice yesterday. She said she feels like she has been hit by a truck! She did have an interview at the school the other day, we are hoping that she will get the position. I cant tell you how much I love having my Mom home. Our house seems to be running a little smoother. Of course it is a wreck most of the time, working on the basement and trying to keep up with everyday life has been a challenge.


Andy is doing well, he workes hard every day and helps me with the basement at night when he is not to tired. He did get his classes and startes the beginning of January. I think he has really missed school. We have been getting Guster alot lately and he is such a joy to have here. Its a crack up to watch him and Andy play basketball....total hoot!

As promised sister. Moms apartment

Had to throw this one in. This is the "LOVE HUT" you cannot see the big screen on the other wall. This is the pit really.....GROSS BOYS!

Reality

Here is the reality of today. I was going to push all the emotions aside and make it my day. My Birthday....my day. Yeah no...this is not happening as planned. I opened my eyes this morning and the tears started rolling, I try and push them back but its not working. So I succumb to my emotions....one of these days my Birthday is not going to suck. Today four years ago, I was a bride. One of the happiest days of my life, the day I looked at my sweet love and we vowed together forever. Our boys stood by our side and vowed to be a family. So this day really sucks. I do know that it will not feel this way forever, and I think I do a good job of finding beauty in everything. So in attempt to find beauty, I am sharing the beauty of this day....four years ago.
