My Dearest Treyden

Dear Treyden-



I forgive you for waking me up at 3 o'clock this morning. I mean yes I would have liked atleast another 2 hours or so, but it is hard to be mad when you are bright eyed and full of smiles.



Waking up at 3 definitely has its ups... we got to watch the sun come up, dad didn't have to drag me out of bed to make his lunch and I was actually able to spend a little time on the treadmill...



Let's not make this an everyday

thing though ok? I love you.



-Your Mom

Morning

Just wanted to give you all a little taste of what wakes me up each morning... even if I have a bad day, it's always a good morning. Thanks to this little guy and his charming big brother who will grace us with his presence in about an hour or so...

Hope your day is happy!

My "Hot" Apprentice

This is a little late... sorry babe. I know your feelings are hurt that I didn't blog about this right away because you love being the topic of discussion on the blog! So here it goes...

As of last Friday Dev is now a "hot" apprentice and was awarded his rubber gloves. Meaning he can now work on live power lines... meaning his job just got even more dangerous! Because being 65 feet in the air wasn't enough.

He loves his job and he is sincerely happy to go to work everyday... even more now than before. When he got home on Friday the first thing he did was show me his rubber gloves. With a big smile on his face. He was so proud. And he has every right. He worked hard for them. So, even though his job is super dangerous and scares the crap out of me I know that he knows what he is doing and that he is good at it.

Congrats Babe. I love you and I am so proud of you. And for the record I have always thought you were "hot."

I love him

Dear Deagan, Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to answer a few questions for me. I know it was hard and you had much better things to do. And thanks for making me laugh. Love you.

Great Idea.

I came across this on Coupon Sense Blog and thought I would share... It is pretty cool.

Walmart and Gazelle have teamed up so you can help the environment by recycling your old electronics and earn Walmart gift cards at the same time. Go here and do a search for the item you want to trade in. Shipping is free, all you need is a box. So gather up your old cell phones, cameras, computers, DVDs, video games and other electronics you are not using and send em in... even if it doesn't get you any money atleast they will take if off your hands and recycle it for you at no cost! Sounds good to me!

Finally!

My hubby is finally home for good tomorrow. I can't wait! He has had hot stick school for the past five weeks and has only been home on the weekends. I am totally drained... I can honestly say that I have not went to bed before 1 am since he has been gone. I am paranoid. Every little noise wakes me up and I am constantly getting up and checking on the boys. I even tried to make it a little easier on myself and actually just slept in their room a couple nights. Can you say CRAZY?! It is definitely lonely without him here. I have been filling my days up with all sorts of crazy projects just trying to make time go by faster... I have done A LOT of baking... A LOT. And a lot of organizing and cleaning... little projects with Deagan... and it has worked... sort of. I guess I can't complain too much, he does come home every weekend... and this year it was only five weeks instead of nine like last year...The boys have really missed their daddy. Deagan asks me daily when he is coming home. So we will all be so happy when he is finally home for good!

On the other hand, the weather here has been amazing. It has cooled down a lot in the evenings and early morning. Love this time of year! It definitely makes me miss home. It is so pretty there in the fall. I have been so excited trying to think of costumes for the boys... I had all these ideas and Deagan hated every one.

" I don't want to dress up Mom, I just want to be Deagan, forever and ever."

He has never been a fan of Halloween and dressing up, but I can usually talk him into it eventually... I don't know about this year though... he is pretty serious.

I already got a costume for Treyden though :) He can't tell me no yet.

I love it! Can't wait to see him dressed in it.

Sunday Chit-Chat

This is while Deagan was driving his monster truck this afternoon.

"Mom I am going to the Promised Land."

"Oh yeah, Deagan."

"Yep, and then I am going to the Pet Store."

Happy Sunday!
