Here we are

Well I said I was going to work harder at updating my blog so here it goes. This has been yet another crazy week. It started on Monday with Jim packing up and heading out late Monday night. It was actually nice having him leave that night. Brayden stayed at my parents over night and we didn't have to wake up at 2 a.m. to get to the airport in time. Then Tuesday morning I woke up and cleaned up the house and cleaned the bathrooms (something I do everytime Jim leaves) And went and got Brayden. Found out at dinner that night that my dad (also our contractor) was going to be tearing apart our house then next day so we should move out. So, I packed and put as much stuff in the garage as I could that night and then next morning finished it off. Brayden and I loaded up and headed here. So, we are now comfy cozy at my parents house and everyday our home seems different. It is so much better to be here than at our place. It is crazy over there. Brayden was so fussy and whiny at our house and I think it was just that he knew things were changing and Jim was leaving and he didn't like watching toys being moved and put in the garage. So, even though it is noisier here and very busy. (We painted moms living room yesterday) it is peaceful and we have a kitchen to use. So, again thanks mom and dad for having us.

Wow Time flies

So, I logged on and couldn't believe how long it has been since I posted anything. So much has been going on I am barely able to get to the computer. Let's see. We have gone to the zoo, taken Brayden to a baseball game. We have been making decisions for our house remodel which is underway outside and getting ready to take place inside. I have taken over our FRG group with the army and have had only 2 weeks to prepare a family day which will take place today. It will be fun and I did have help which I don't know that I could have done without. So, we will pray all goes off with out a hitch. Jim is crazy busy between work, Army, helping pick stuff for the house and preparing to leave again. Oh and yes I am still pregnant and tired. I am starting to get more energy and that is good because my 2 year old is a busy boy and I feel so terrible when I can't keep up. Brayden loved the zoo and I can't wait to take him back. I do think that we will have to head to the aquarium as well cause he was really taken with the underwater animals. And the monkeys that he had been talking about so much he could have cared less about. We also were there at a great time cause the elephants were out and struting their stuff which made it fun for Brayden to watch. Pregnancy wise I am feeling great other than being tired and doing great. It was great to hear babies heart last time. Since I always feel good pregnant it always helps me to believe I really do have someone growing inside me. Well, I am off to finish my salad for the BBQ and try and get a rest in before heading to Portland.

Changes

Well tonight is a big night for us. We brought in Brayden's big boy bed. Yep my little baby has shed the crib and is right now laying in bed watching his stars. It is exciting to see that he is growing up and yet hard. Time goes so fast. He is talking more and more and before I know it he will be in school. Being a parent I truly know what my mom was saying when she said time goes so fast once you have kids. I get it mom. We have also started a mind of our own. He really knows now what he does and does not want to do and he lets me know. Time outs are becoming a more frequent thing at our home.
We also tonight discovered that our neighbor passed away. He was a great man and so wonderful with Brayden. A very good neighbor who got sick with cancer and just couldn't fight anymore. This is the second neighbor in a matter of months that has passed away from cancer. We are really hoping this isn't a new trend.
I also met with another cabinet man today and I really liked him and his knowledge of cabinets. I am hoping his bid comes in where we can afford to go with him. I am excited about our remodel but also going to be glad when it is done.
Well, I am tired. I am off to bed.
