Yet another update.....

I am like the worst blogger in history, I swear.  I always think about blogging something, and I never do.  Even though I know that a lot of the family enjoys reading them, or so they say.  I just don't take the time to sit down and write one. 

Shame on me.

I could give you an excuse, like that my computer is acting up, and 99% of the time won't even let me get on the internet- which is completely true. But when it does end up letting me on the internet, all I do is check my e mail, my facebook, and then close out.  I'm awful, I know I know.

So around here lately things have been going like normal.  Well, as normal as normal can be these days.  The kids are great- growing like weeds.  Just got over their first colds of the season.  Bryant and I managed to escape it- thankfully.  I don't think I've used that much hand sanitizer since Sydney was born. 
My mom will be here on the 4th of November to help us get packed up and the house cleaned.  We have to be out of the house around the 12th of November.  Our inspection of the house is schedualed for the 15th, and we leave base the 18th.  It's all coming so fast now.  Looks like I will have to leave base a few days earlier than Bryant- since we will have the moving truck all loaded up.  We can only afford to rent it for so many days, so my mom, myself and the kids will drive to Washington 2-3 days earlier than Bryant so we can get the truck returned as soon as possible.  He will follow on the 18th.  He should be able to leave around 10am on the 18th to head to Washington.

The remodel on my parents downstairs has turned into a LOT more than just a few walls of sheet rock.  Another estimate came in, and they found out that their basement was not up to code.  So that had to be done.  They then decided that as long as they were doing all that, they might as well put the bathroom in downstairs.  Which resulted in a new floor, sheetrock, shower, toilet and vanity.  Then while all this was going on, they found out they had to replace the carpet in the downstairs as well.  So that was put on the list.  Then, they figured, as long as all this was going on, maybe they'd add some stuff to upstairs as well.  So we may just possibly get to my parents house, and not recognize it.  At all.  I'm pretty excited to see it, personally!

This weekend has been a pretty good one.  Today's Columbus Day, so Bry has the day off.  He's sleeping.  His wife is pretty nice to let him sleep in TWICE this weekend.  Geesh. ;o)  I threw my back out Thursday, not terribly bad, but bad enough that I was in pain.  So Saturday we just hung around the house because it was still trying to heal.  Bry went on a jog with Petey while Austin rode his bike along side, and Sydney and I just hung at the house.  Yesterday my back was feeling quite good, so we decided to go to Boise.  Sydney has been pulling her earrings out, so we needed to get her some screw back earrings so she couldn't pull them off.  The only places that had those types of earrings were actual Jewlery stores, which wanted over $100.00 PER SET of earrings.  Um, no thanks.  I mean- kudos to those who can buy them, that's awesome- but we're a family of 4 with one income.... not even! So we decided we'd order online.  But while we were there, we decided that Bryant needed some new shoes.  So we ended up getting him some new shoes.  I got my facewash from Macy's, we had lunch at McDonalds, (I bet you'd never guess who chose McDonalds for lunch?!?! ha!) and Mommy accidentaly threw away Austin's new Cars toy, so we went to Target to get him a new one.  Bad Mommy.  He was pretty upset about losing that one, it was afterall, brand new.

So enough rambling from me- hopefully I can get a few pictures of the kids loaded here soon!
