The Past Month

So, this is the last post for a while...i think i finally figured out how this thing works.
So the last month or so has been quite eventful...
Hayden recently started Kindergarten and ABSOLUTELY loves it...who woulda thought!  He always talks about a boy named Luke in his class, being his best friend.  He did really well on his Progress Report (except "talks") ...haha that's what my mom said mine always said...hmmmmm
I am the "Head Class Mom" (sounds important huh)...well actually basically im just in charge of the Halloween and Valentines Day Party (I'll take the fancy name though haha).
Hayden can now write his whole name...wrte the colors and spell some words!  I'm so proud; but yet am starting to feel old!
Carson started preschool at Calvary Lutheran in September...he is really excited about going to "school" on Tuesdays and Thursdays. 
The boys don't like being apart from eachother...so when they are...its nice they're both at "school" and can tell stories of their day to eachother.  LOL I don't recall my sister and I having separation issues....
I started my new job at the beginning of August, at Tri-County Builders.  I love it!  One of my bosses, I actually grew up with.  It's a very laid back place to work and I work with great people; can't ask for much better.
I, of course, had yet another weird sickness.  A few weeks ago they found out that I had a bad colon infection and a blood clot and thought I was going to have to have (as Paster Eric referred to it as) my umphteenth surgery.  Luckily all the 10 million medications they put me on worked...and for now....no surgery.  Also at this appointment, I learned that I finally lost 9 of the 23 pounds I gained following my hysterectomy! So 14 more to go!!! Salads and NASTY ole Diet Coke :) haha
Also, I started back to school myself....which is EXTREMELY stressful...with work, kids, their school (S), soccer practices, soccer games, pictures, just everything.  But I'm doing very well so far...hopefully it stays that way...Maybe soon the rest of the aspects of our daily life will calm down a little bit :) But...if it was too much different, I don't know what I'd do...Yeah, my life is very hectic, but I absolutely love it!
Thats really all of the kind of exciting news in our lives in about the past month....
Hope we didn't bore you too much!  Check back periodically for more updates:)
Love and Miss you all
Brandi, Hayden and Carson

Below are several pictures...most from our yearly trip to Pigeon Forge, TN.  Also, there are a couple of Carson's proofs for his preschool pictures!  They turned out excellent!
Oh...and notice Jonathon's face, on the sauce and salsa pictures, is far worse than mine!  I took it better than him!!!!  Ha!  And I wonder why I don't have a Gallbladder and why I get weird things, like colon infections!
Oh well!  I like the food :)
Hope you enjoy the pics!  If you have any you would like me to post, send 'em to me!

New To This

Well, we're going to try this out!  It's a new adventure, but with families in different parts of Indiana
I figured this would be a more simplified way of allowing everyone to be a part of our lives, than
calling everybody everytime something happens.
So, if you have any suggestions or anything for our page...comment or send me an email and let me
know:)
Hope you enjoy!  Let the adventure begin!
