Going Private.

I have been debating whether to do this or not, but after a wierd comment I thought it was time. It's kind of a bummer, but I would rather be safe than sorry! SO, if you read my blog and would like to continue to read it leave me your email and I will be sure and send you an invite :D Thanks.

P.S.
Thanksgiving post to come...

Happy Birthday!

Today is my "little" brother's birthday and I just wanted him to know how much we all love him. Thanks for always coming to visit us, Deagan loves your company and you are so great with him. He is always sad to see you go. We hope you have a fabulous birthday... wish we could be there to celebrate with you :) Thanks for always makin' me laugh. Love you.

Lunch with Dad

Every once in awhile Dev gets a job close to the house so when he does he will usually come home for lunch. Which means he drives a big work truck. Which means Deagan hears it coming from a mile away... He watches out the window and yells and screams when Dev pulls up. He never lets Dev come inside until he gets a few minutes behind the wheel, then its "Dad, can we go up in the bucket? Dad, can we drive it down the road? Dad, can i honk the horn?" Dev had a little bit more time today than usual so he took Deagan up in the bucket... and not just a little ways, he took him ALL THE WAY up.

Fearless

All smiles.

This was Deagan's 2nd time in the bucket. He LOVES it. Obviously. It makes me so nervous, but I know that Dev is super careful and would never do anything like that unless he was comfortable. That ten minutes made Deagan's week. He is still talking about it. He loves his Dad and wants to be just like him and do everything he does. He is going to work at APS and drive a bucket truck just like his Dad. Great...

Happy Halloween, a day late.

The last two weeks have been crazy. I have barely gotten a chance to sit down and breathe. The week before last my Grandma from Colorado drove down to my Mom's for a few days so me and the boys stayed with my Mom for the week so we could visit her and my Grandma for awhile. It was so nice to see her, it doesn't happen that often so we had to take advantage of the opportunity! I was excited for her to see the boys. So, that was fun to be able to visit and just relax for a few days. We came home Saturday and later that night Dev started feeling really sick... he was sick for about three days and we weren't really sure what he had but we knew we didn't want the boys getting it so I had to keep them away from him, and I didn't want to get sick so I stayed away as much as possible. I slept in the boys room with them, which pretty much meant no sleep at all. It was a rough couple of days and once we thought we were in the clear Deagan started getting sick... we were worried he might have swine flu so we were trying to keep Treyden away and I was washing my hands and sanitizing everything the best I could... fortunately we took him to the dr and it turned out he didn't have swine flu, just the flu. He is feeling a little better. He still has a pretty nasty cough. Treyden and I still have yet to get it. Hopefully we don't! I am running on no sleep. My good sleeper Treyden has turned into a horrible sleeper... it all started while we were visiting my Mom. I thought maybe it was just because he wasn't in his own bed, but since we have been home he hasn't slept any better. He wakes up every couple of hours. For no real reason, just to know he is not alone I guess. I am really hoping this is just a phase and that he grows out of it really soon! Two bad sleepers equals one grouchy mama. I am still catching up on laundry from two weeks ago and my house is a wreck... I probably shouldn't be on the computer, but I had to escape for a little bit while everyone was napping! I am hoping this next week is a smooth one and everyone is healthy!

Here is a little peek at our Halloween. It was fun. Deagan decided he would dress up so we took the boys to a few friend's houses. The fun didn't last long, Treyden hated his fat costume, he couldn't get around in it at all and Deagan was just ready to get home and watch a movie. Haha. That's Deagan. Hope you all had a good Halloween!







And these are our Pumpkins... Deagan was pretty proud.

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."
