1st Indoor games are tomorrow

So Skylar and Logan are playing indoor football this year and the games start tomorrow! Super excited to see how they both do! It's been impressive to see how Monte's has guided these boys to be their best! I'm so hoping that the games go well and that their confidence is boosted! Good luck my sons! Super proud of you guys!

What a Week!

I swear I've been so incredibly busy since being laid off it's not even funny! Finally got my car back yesterday and as much as I'm super happy it's all fixed, it irritates me that I've had to put so much money into it. I really want to get a truck but now have to wait until I get a job. Driving my dad's truck for the last week made me realize a couple things....1) I need a truck that gets
better gas mileage...2) I need one with running boards so I can get in...and 3) I need 4 doors!

My brother enlisted into the Army National Guard yesterday and that was super exciting. Have a "silent movie" of it since my camera's microphone was defaulted to be "off"...lame! Am so happy I got to be there and witness it thought. Happy times ahead for him!

Been a quiet Friday and I like that! Thank goodness for the weekend!

Gavin's cake

So....another advantage to being laid off; you get time to make a cake for your kiddo....Thank you Family Fun magazine for the idea and directions! Hopefully it tastest good too!

Happy Birthday Gavin

Gavin, Happy 7th Birthday! I can't believe how quickly the time goes by. You are my kiddo that stays truest to your age! You are doing great in 1st grade and I am so proud of you! It just seems like yesterday that we brought you home, the smallest of the three boys, but you have so much heart that makes up for it and you are quickly gaining on your brothers!

I love you, too much! Hope you have a great day!

Love, Mommy

Not the worst thing....

So...got laid off today! Since I've been expecting it for a couple weeks, I wasn't shocked and or sad. I've been so stressed lately that it actually comes as a relief! Positives to being laid off:
1- Got to go shopping with my sister!
2- Get to be a mom full time until I find another job.
3- Get unemployment that will help until new job is found.
4- Don't have to juggle work and football at the moment!
5- Get to see my kids right after school!
6- Get to go to the gym more!

I know there is something better waiting for me out there. I just have to find it! Meanwhile, I get to enjoy each day with extra hours and be with my kids!

To my boys~

My handsome boys.....Gavin, Skylar, and Logan!

You are amazing young men and I look forward everyday to see what wonderful things you do, what new things you discover and what awesome things are to come. I love you all more than life itself and am so proud to be your mom!

The adventures of myself and my boys are ones that I tend to take for granted but that often bring comedy to a stress-filled life! I've been told that I need to document the stories that I tell of my boys and although I'm starting a little late, I figure "better late than never"! So here I go, starting a blog, to document our lives in hopes that one day they can read them and to help clear my head from the craziness of my life!
