No title...

Hi everyone :)

Terrible at posting! I really try to do it everyday BUT well no excuses!

Whats been going on at our house? Well... hasn't the weather been awesome with the exception of a few rainy days... but still its better than snow and cold.

Update on the boys ~ well, Blade is loving this weather, he gets outside every chance he can, even sneaks out on me sometimes which is scary! He has this fascination with rocks and loves the words "awesome" and "beeutiful" (that is how he says it). The little stinker doesn't like to get up in the mornings yet when its time to go to school... but when you pick him up he always says now "I had an awesome day". It is SO cute!!! I feel bad since he has no swing set nor sandbox here to play on or really any cement to ride his bikes on, but with his little imagination he finds things to do. I hope to have all these things this summer for him to play on so he can keep busy outside :) hint... jer :)

Lets see... Issac. He recently got his haircut and well is having an 'issue' with it. The hair stylist cut off most of his long curly parts away from his face, well so he could SEE again. He absolutely hates it! I think it looks cute when its styled like she showed him how to do it... but the back well could of been just trimmed... but his hair does grow fast so he sould be fine in a few weeks... I hope! He is my child that really really cares about how he looks, its cute but well sometimes annoying :(

Mitchel has been good! He started track meets last week. For his first meet he got (2) 4th place and (1) 6th place. On his second track meet running all different events he got 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. So we were very proud of him for doing so well with his first year with track, I wasn't sure if he liked the fact that he went out at first but now well... he really likes it. He had a home soccer game on Sunday and he played amazing, they did loose but the wind got the best of them again :(
He also had a his 'first offical' Jr. High all nighter on Friday evening at school. His teacher and a group of parents had the kids from 6pm - 6am at a school lock-in for the evening, they went to Happy Joes for supper and then did a bunch of different activites in the gym. He had a great time at the at too :) Hard to believe my oldest son is growing up so quickly and developing into a little man.

For Jer ~ well its never a dull moment for him, he has A LOT OF work issues going on right now, and his stress level has to be like a 'steaming pot overflowing'. The traveling has slowed down for awhile, he was home all of last week and all of this
week :) YEAH!!! but he is always on the go since there is no office for him here to work in yet - hopefully soon that can happen.

Then there is me... well I've been BUSY none the less. I finally did get the boys closets cleaned out last week, and then I got behind on laundry... argh! The upstairs is a total fricken mess as I write this... I should be cleaning!!!! BUT well I took a tumble down our stairs yesterday :( YEP from our first flight of stairs to the bottom to the landing spot, scared the living daylights out of me!!!! Hurt my arm, wrist, and elbow pretty bad as well as the right side of my body... back, hip, and shoulder. I have a quite the bruise on my elbow and cut my hand a little. My back was killing me last night but today my arm and elbow hurt pretty bad to the point it should probably be looked at BUT I will survive, just taking it easy today BUT I should be doing a TON of things... makes me so mad that I hurt... my feet somehow got out of under me and well down I went like a tumbleweed, rushing doesn't get you anywhere... proved that point this yesterday!
On Monday I took a bunch of things to the Dyersville Antique Mall for our booth. WOW when I got there it was like almost completely empty - good! Its been a good thing for me, keeps me doing what I love to do :) I had a good first month up there and hope this month will pay off as well. I think that if we can keep ahead of it and keep putting new items in we will have returning clients. Thats my hope anyway :)

House update : Yard was to be seeded this week... but it rained Sunday night so then it was too wet yesterday, they attempted to try today... still too wet. So as soon as it dries up some they will come back... hopefully it will stop raining and dry up this week! PLEASE GOD... can you help us with this...

I saw my 'kitchen' in pieces yesterday :) Doug has all the frames cut out and most of the pieces for the drawers already to go.
Waiting for parts to come in, and he has a few more pieces to cut yet. If every thing goes to plan... it will be 4 weeks from yesterday that our kitchen will be starting to get installed - YEAH!!!!!! I love the wood we choose for it! Jenn T. I hope you are ready to go shopping with me soon... and your hubby and you are ready to cook in our kitchen in about a month :) ITS A DATE, remember??

So what else is happening? We got our floor boards back from the place that was drying them and cutting them for us. Memories of the pine trees that used to surround our house will be in our house :) cool huh?
Dustin is currently working on the panels that will surround our staircase, WOW... that is ALOT of work for him! Yesterday we got to see what the panels will look like, he is amazing at what he does! the panels are being made out of the same wood that our kitchen cabinets will be made of. Its exciting to see it all come together :)

So anyhow thats all I got for you right now... I wish I could post some pictures for you... but everytime I try... it doesn't work:(
I need someone more 'techy' to look at it for me... maybe I can get Ms. Jenn T. to help me... I can't figure out what I am doing wrong!!!!

I hope all my readers are well! MISS YOU GUYS!!!!
