So I lied....

First of all I lied about doing this Friday night. Andy ended up coming home so I spent time with him instead. I apologize. Second, I said that I would have pictures...I can't find my camera cord to load them on, so no dice. Sorry!
If I ever do find it I will make one of those slide shows, if I can figure out how, and put all pics in one post.
Anywho....what have we been up to....Brandon finished football, he loved it! He became the official center of the team, he loved being apart of every play. His coach really taught him a lot about the game. We can hardly wait for next season to start.
We were able to go to the annual Pumpkin Walk. That is always fun. This year's theme was different products. The displays were scenes from commercials. It is always amazing to me how creative people can be with pumpkins. Brandon went with his school and with me, he enjoyed it too. We went with our friends Serena and her boys. She has a boy Brandon's age, they are good friends. I love hanging out with them because I can have interaction while they play.
Of course we had Halloween, I posted some pics from a couple parties we went to. They were fun. On Halloween my friend Miranda and I decided to take our boys back to the neighborhood where we grew up. It was fun to see all of the people and changes that have happened since our parents left. Of course the boys got more candy then they could ever hope for. It is slowly finding its way to the trash one handful at a time. Just in time to get more in the stocking.
Andy is still on the road most of the time, but I have a lot of family and friends that all help to keep me sane. Thanks everyone!
That is about all I can remember for now. I hope that I can find my cord soon so I can post some fun pictures for all of you to enjoy.

Happy Thanksgiving!

OK so I am way behind on the blog updating! I apologize, I will do it with pictures and everything on Friday I promise...but this post is to wish you all a happy Thanksgiving! I hope everyone takes time to think of what they are most grateful for. As for me, I am thankful for my beautiful little boys. Both of them bring me much joy on a daily basis. Brandon helps me put things in perspective, he always helps me to see the good in all situations. I am thankful for a husband that is sacrificing watching his boys grow up so he can provide for them. He also constantly is fighting to be able to spend time with us whenever he is close, even if it is for only a day here and there on top of his scheduled time off. He also puts up with a lot of grief from me when I am yelling at him to figure out the impossible, like when he will be home next. I am thankful for all the friends and family that have been willing to help me out whenever they can with whatever I need. I am glad that I have a job to go to, and that it provides my family with health insurance and money for the necessities in life. I am also grateful for my calling in church, it has helped me learn the things that I need to do better in my life so me and my boys and be happier in our lives. I hope that all of you take the time to realize just how lucky you are, and take the time to thank Him for all of it!
Love you all...Happy Thanksgiving! Don't eat too much turkey...remember it makes you tired!
