Halloween Fun... and other stuff!

So, it has been a while since I last posted. I haven't had the desire to do any new posts and considered giving up the whole blogging idea, but I decided that I had better not. I enjoy seeing what everyone has been up to, so I guess that there is someone out there that may like to see what we have been doing. Jason is doing well with school. It has been a hard transition, going back to the whole poor school family thing and all, but I just have to think about the big picture! We have pretty much given up on selling out house seeing as we have not showed it once since we got a realtor. That is OK with us though. Braden and Carter are getting bigger and bigger every day. Braden will be 3 this month and Carter will go to nursery this month too! Kinda a big month for us. We also have a new addition to our family, and no it is not a new baby! We decided that the kids needed an indoor dog since the one we have outside is way to big for them to play with. He is a little Yorkie and we decided to name him Beau, since that is an easy name for our kids so say.
For Halloween I had to work and Jason's family was out of town so we decided instead of going to Poky, we would just do our own thing here and it turned out to be way fun. The kids really enjoyed getting tons of candy. Carter never really warmed up to the idea of having complete strangers talk to him, but he loved the candy. Braden could care less to say trick-or-treat, he just went straight to the candy. It was kinda funny. I think that I have the cutest little fireman and little devil out there!

BabYSitTINg FUn!

So for this school year I was asked if I could watch a little girl named Melodie (or Mel). She is a little sweetie. I am having to get used to the clingyness (is that a word?) of a little girl, but it has been good. Today at lunch everyone was singing so I decided to let them have some fun. I got some cute videos of my boys singing and a cute one of Mel and Braden dancing to Braden's nursery rhymes. I love little kids!!!

Bat Hunting!

Gettin' ready

Like father, like son

Weird, I know! But for some reason Jason and Alyssa love to "hunt bats." I enjoy watching them make fools of themselves so I let them do it. Haha. I captured a few good pictures... ENJOY!

BlaH...

I know that I have been totally neglecting my blog, but I have good reasons. I cannot for the life of me find my dang camera. I am so mad. I have some cute pics that I need to download, but I can't. So... I guess I just have to wait until I find it (assuming that I am just an air head and I really know where it is in the back of my mind). I will catch up a.s.a.p. I promise!

Moving blues :(

I have been EXTREAMLY frustrated lately because we thought that we had our house sold TWICE. Yea, count em, twice. I know that we have been very lucky to even have someone look at our house already, since we don't even have it on the market officially. That is one great thing about living in a small town where they don't really have much else to do besides gossip. No offence to all you Grace natives. I am starting to feel like we are never get out of here! It isn't that I am anxious to leave, (trust me, I'm not) I just feel bad for poor Jason. He has to get up at 4:30 am every day of the week so that he can be in Logan by 6:00am. So that means that he has to be in bed by 8:30pm. SUCKY! So, in order for us to get back to a normal family life, we need to sell our house. AHHH! Oh well. I know that there are people out there that have it much worst than us, so I should be grateful for what we have (or so my Dad tells me). Haha. I am grateful though. I have a wonderful husband who works so hard to bring home the meat and two beautiful, bouncing boys that keep me buys while Jason is gone.

Anyways, now that I am done moping about my WONDERFUL life, I ask you... my fellow bloggers to ask around and see if there is ANYONE out there that is looking for a house to buy in good old Grace, Idaho. I would be happy to let anyone come and take a peek! Thanks!

Our wonderful home

What A Month!

So much has happened since my last post and I don't even know where to start. I guess I will go from the most exciting news. Carter turned the big 1 on May 20. HOLY COW. My baby is growing up so fast. I told Jason that I am scared because that means that I am getting closer to getting ready for another one. That probably won't be for a while (knock on wood). Carter also has started walking. It is so CUTE. He is still pretty wobbly, but he is getting better and better every day. He gets so frustrated when he falls and I can't help but laugh. Braden is a proud big brother. He thinks that since Carter can walk, he can also wrestle. Haha. Poor Carter.

The aftermath

Now for the big, kinda exciting but then again, not so exciting news. Jason FINALLY got a new job. YAY! The bad part is that we have to move. BOO! I never thought that I would be sad to leave the big town of Grace, but it has definitely been a struggle for me, and we haven't even moved yet. I am kinda excited to be moving to Preston though, and it has been fun looking for houses again. I am a little frustrated though because there are SO many homes for sale. They are all starting to run together. It is a good thing that we took notes and have pictures of the ones that we looked at. I wouldn't know what one was what. But before we buy a house, we have to sell ours. We find out tonight if it is sold or not. I am nervous! I will fill everyone in as soon as I know. Wish us luck!

Turkey Hunting

I am sure that not very many of you know this, but since I have been married to Jason, he has converted me into liking hunting. Later this evening Jason decided that it was a great night to go look for some turkeys, so we took off and went looking. Braden was so sad that he couldn't go with us. Before he knew that he couldn't come, he went and got his little toy gun and said "Let's go shoot turkeys!" I felt so bad leaving him behind, but he was very excited to see the turkey Jason got when we got home. We got a few cute pictures, and I am sorry if they offend anyone. I think that they are cute!
