Bear Hunting

Well Chuck left last Saturday for bear hunting. His brother went with him a 13 hour drive to get to the upper part of Michigan yea a 13 hour drive that when Chuck called the NEXT day said it took them 18 hours...lol just a little lost he said. I really hope they had nicer weather then we did Saturday and all day Sunday it rained here we had flood warnings out starting Saturday night, the kids loved the puddles which soon turned into ponds..they had a ball running through the streets with the water up to their knees at some parts all the ditches were filled ( TG I dont have a ditch in front of my house) the kids were using them like water slides..at least 4 of my kids found out how much fun it was to slide down a ditch full of water and mud and just how much fun it was till they came home and mom seen that they had on their school shoes, and they were full of mud walking on my nice new living room floor....all and all I didnt yell that much, I did grumble a lot as I was washing the clothes I had to wash them twice just to get the ground in mud out and to see what color the clothes really were.

My poor baby has an ear infection :O( I thought it was him getting teeth in since he wasnt running a fever or pulling on his ears, he was just a bit cranky and just starting to get a runny nose, I wasn't even going to bring him into the Dr but I had to take Samantha since she had an ear ache, so after a nice long long wait at the Drs office I found out that they both have double ear infections, and Samantha also has a sines infection..I just love winter coming....not really

Only 3 more weeks till David should be home from Iraq...Crystal and I are TRYING to see if the two of us can go down and greet him when he comes in. We haven't told him because its a long shot if we can, and if we do we want it to be a surprise. I would love to go!!!! I haven't even told Chuck about this one yet...got to find some way to break the news to him and see if I can find someone to watch the baby and Christopher durning the day...Chuck does have vacation time left :O) We still don't know the date he will be in on, only the week so it makes it hard to get a hotel room or make plans so if we don't find out soon we will have to give up going down to see him..I don't know I'll keep you posted if we get to go and don't tell anyone of our plans just in case if could get back to David.

I have WALLS!!!!

Yep I do I have walls in my living room and a ceiling too :O)

The living room is almost finished we just have a few things to finish like some of the moldings, Chuck forgot that ER came in and took some of the moldings that had water damage. The room has been painted and a new pergo floor put in...my sweetie has to crawl under in the dirt to find two yep not one but TWO heater vents that the guys covered up with the pergo floor...lol so now Chuck has to some how find them, then we have curtains to put back up and my pics to finish it all off...Chuck then leaves for bear hunting for a few days and when he comes back we get to start on the kitchen..oh what joy..I want it done but I hate the thought of doing it, the living room was a smaller job and that was a pain in the behind I cant image the kitchen!!! Cant I just stay in the nice clean living room..lol

Jorden is all over the place these days he is crawling and pulling himself up on things. He can say da-da like there is no tomorrow I m still working on the ma-ma...Chuck and I had a bet on which one he would say first and guess who won...I swear I think he stood in front of that baby and babbled da-da all day long just to win...lol

I haven't taken too many new pics of him not with the house being ripped apart, didn't want to see the mess in the background but I did take this one I thought it was cool since we had a butterfly in the house

David will be coming home from Iraq soon...I cant wait!!!!!! It feels like its been forever even if its only been 8 months. Sometimes he gets a few pics up on his my space page for me ( not nearly enough) or he will e-mail me a pic here and there.. This is one he put on his my space page I cant believe how beefy he is getting. He left he was so tall and thin now he is really filling out I think he use to weigh 155 when he left now he told me he is 180.....wow!!!! He should be here in Michigan for Thanksgiving, that seems like its such a far ways off before he will be home but at least he will be in the states in Oct.

My niece Anna got married over the Labor day weekend..she made such a beautiful bride :O) Steven was her ring bearer..he had a blast of course he loves to be the center of att and with him being all dressed up and cute looking with those 2 front teeth missing he got a lot of it..lol

Ok here is a rare pic of me this is one with my sister and my mom..here I was so proud of my self for fitting in this dress and thinking wow I lost a lot of my baby weight till I seen some of my other pics...think it time to go on a diet...lol this pic isn't too bad I sucked it in :O)
