I'm Such a Slacker!

So I guess I should post at least once this month. Since I found Facebook I have been a serious slacker on the blog. I am going to try to remember what has happened since my last post...let's see....
We struggled to find food for Tyler since he was allergy tested. His favorites in the last month have included, Spaghetti, Mac&Cheese, Hot ham & cheese sandwiches, cinnamon sugar toast, and lots and lots of fruit. Since then we have found some other things that he likes to eat as well.
Bowling ended and softball started...well it is supposed to anyway. With the crazy spring weather AKA snow!! there hasn't been much in the way of softball going on. This year has been crazy as far as the weather goes. Of course it doesn't keep the kiddos from wanting to play outside on the swing set, I think the little neighbor boy, Chet, has wanted to come over and play at least a couple times a week. It is has been fun for Brandon to have a friend come play.
Tyler is running all over the place. Also growing like a weed. I have been more than a slacker on blogging, I have also slacked on getting his pictures taken. I will also blame that on the snow as well where I wanted them to be outside.
Mother's day came and went. I spent some time with both Andy and I's mothers (as Andy was out of town) Brandon gave me a hanging plant, which I put outside before I should have so it is no longer with us...also the weathers fault :)
Andy was in Atlanta around mothers day so he totally hooked me and the boys up with some Braves stuff. Which was good because shortly there after he was offered the long awaited dedicated route to Denver and back. He has been doing that for a week and we have seen him more in that week then we did some months without the dedicated route. Brandon loves that! Yes Tyler and I do too, but more Brandon...he sure does miss his daddy. The set schedule of it all is better for all of us as well, we know exactly what days he will be here and that works well for Brandon the Planner.
About a week ago Brandon was playing with Tyler's Epi pen while I was doing my hair for church and he came up to me with blood coming out of both hands...you guessed it...he had shot himself with it. It went completely through one of his fingers into another one. For those of you who don't know what an Epi pen does, it is a vein restricter so his finger lost circulation for a slight moment, causing it to turn white. We also spent the day on the phone with poison control and a heating pad on his finger. No worries all is well. He learned his lesson the hard way, I did have him worried at one point...I told him we were going to have to chop his finger off. Don't worry I only let him believe it for about 5 minutes.
Last but not least....my sweet little Brandon is one week away from ending his first year of school! I can't believe that he will be in 2ND grade in 3 months! He has had the best time in school and loves it and his teacher...she will be hard to beat! He has blown me away with all the stuff he has learned. I am so proud of him.
