Halloween Parade

Today was Brandon's halloween parade. I had to work so I was running to even make it there. To add stress to my day, my grandma was taken to the hospital this morning with an infection and so my mother stayed there with her...she was supposed to be bringing my camera that my sister had borrowed last weekend. So I spent the morning looking for a camera and waiting to hear about my grandma. I found one at the last second. Tyler was able to walk around with Brandon, he didn't get a nap so he was really tired.By the end of the walk around the school he was a little upset, Brandon enjoyed showing off his brother to all his friends, when all the other classes were walking through his classroom he kept saying "Look at my baby" "Look at my baby" it was really cute. My boys make me so happy and I love them tons.






As far as my grandma goes...she is getting some tests ran to see why she keeps getting infections. She is also suffering from encephalitis (swelling of the brain) due to the fever she is having with the infections. They are hoping she will be home in a few days.

We Love Halloween!

Brandon and I both had some time off of school and work last week for UEA. I decided to do some fun Halloween crafts that I had seen in a magazine. For those of you who don't know...Halloween is my favorite holiday. I love to decorate and make scary foods, I usually don't have the time to do all that I would like to do, due to the fact that I am at work most of the time. It was pretty fun doing these crafts with Brandon. It made it even more fun knowing that he was having a good time as well. Tyler was asleep during most of it, not quite ready to have both helping me. :) We made little pumpkins out of and egg carton, ty-dyed some t-shirts, and I made half of my mummy costume. The burn on my arm was from the pan that I cooked the sheet pieces for my costume on. Go figure the one time I decide to be crafty I get burned. Oh well, probably my own fault...next time I will have Tyler around to help remind me that it is hot, as that is one of the few words he knows.

This is becoming a trend....sorry

So I need to either choose Facebook or Blog, I obviously can't do both :) I am struggling with the blog updates. I am not sure what I can say we have been doing though.

Brandon has started the 2nd grade and is doing AWESOME!!! He loves school and even his homework. I really hope it stays that way forever. He is getting so big and independent, kind of sad for a mom.

Tyler is also getting so big and independent. He runs and destroys faster than I can keep up sometimes. He still thinks everything is a either a bat or a ball. Mostly a ball...the kid throws EVERYTHING!! His allergies are getting a little bit better. I don't worry so much about corn syrup, corn starch, and other corn made products. I just make sure he doesn't get the actual vegetable also same with eggs. They are a little more tricky though. Even if they are baked in he sometimes has trouble with them. Gets conjested is all but still no fun for him. I believe he has become addicted to Benedryl, probably because it makes him feel better. I try really hard to keep him away from the stuff that would conjest him but sometimes it is hard and I need to call in the Benedryl for relief.

Andy is still driving truck, but he does have a dedicated route to Denver and back to Salt Lake. He has been trying to get up to Logan when he gets in to SL every other night. With lack of sleep and cold weather, riding the motorcycle wasn't so fun for him, causing him to not want to come as often as we would like. We tried to remedy that situation by purchasing a car from an auction, that almost worked out for us. One week after we bought it the transmission went out. We just got that fixed so he has a car to drive back and forth now, definetly won't be as cold, but lack of sleep is still a problem. He does have Mondays off so we get to see him at least one day a week, which is better than what we used to have. We are working on ways to make that more, but we will have to see what happens with that.

As for me, I am still working at Wells Fargo but I have recently been transfered to a different branch. At first I have to admit I was not happy about it, but now that I am there it isn't so bad. Amazing how life works out. The new branch isn't as busy so it is kind of my relaxing time. When I get home I don't feel so stressed that I don't feel like I can deal with all the home stuff. Not that I am doing any better at the organization or cleaning, but I am trying. It has only been about 3 weeks so I'm getting there.

That is what has been happing with us the last little while. I know I always say this...but...I am going to try to be better at this. Maybe I need to do more exciting stuff so I have something to post. :) The holidays are coming up so we should have something, right?
