Happy Thanksgiving!!! Just a quick post.. I am on mouse patrol, I think I might have a varmit in the house... 20 days until B is home. I posted a thanksgiving pic of the boys and my cookies... Hope everyone had a safe holiday... JB

just because

This is the new big boy bed, which I put together and the footboard is where the headboard should be, but it will have to do until B gets home to fix it... Gage said cheese for his pics... it was funny... now he is running around with my camera going cheese, cheese....

He has on curious george pj's that are too big... oh well...

Luke had games Friday night and yesterday... I made it to the one yesterday and gage acting pretty good... Dum Dum suckers proved to be the difference... he had one in each hand the entire game....

Oh well, been a lazy Sunday. I might go make some muffins and some of the cookies that are on Valarie and Shannon's websites.... they are cute, maybe I will load pics if they work!

Have a great week. JB

hmmm.

Well, let's see. This has been a crazy week. Luke had games: Monday, Wed., Thurs. and one tomorrow, then maybe Saturday. He practices each Sunday... basketball, we're lovin' it..
Gage has had a rough week. I actually stayed home with him on Wednesday because he screamed all night. Today was our visit with the ENT. She was pretty shocked that we hadn't been to one sooner with all his problems. His ears are still infected and we just got off one of the strongest antibiotics. He also has yeast infections in his mouth, they are open sores...so we are on antibiotics until his surgery (tubes and adenoids sp?) on Dec. 8th and I have to rub this stuff for the yeast around his mouth 4 times a day and he has to eat lots of yogurt... Poor little guy. I just want him to feel better soon.
Other than that, there isn't time for much. I am certainly missing my husband and I am ready for him to come home... Anyway, I have 5 Christmas presents purchased... I don't know what else I am buying... my little darling Luke has such expensive taste, I don't know where that comes from... he wants an ipod touch, they are only 297 bucks mom... and the bat I promised him for his birthday was 495 bucks when I went to get one today... needless to say we have some other people looking at some pricing options... he is going to send me to the poor house!!!
Oh well, hope you all have a happy thanksgiving.. peace and love
JB

hey..

Hey everyone... I am realizing that it has been forever since I last blogged. I really haven't had much to say. Wow, I know you are all in shock about that one!! LOL.
Gage has been sick again. It sucks, but hopefully we will get tubes later this month, we have a consultation appointment on Nov. 21. He got a big bed this past weekend and actually slept in it twice. It is really more of an adjustment for me than him...
Luke had his first ballgame last night. He got to play a bit. He had rolled his ankle, so he didn't play as much as he probably or hopefully normally will.
My life has been hectic. I am just going here and there with the kids. I registered for two classes next semester. I would like to take three, but I don't want to push my limit. Kinda feeling a little blah at work, ready for a break I think.
Other than that, I am just a blah person... Ready for B to come home for his pass. Oh well, hope you are all doing well. Peace and Love, JB

oops

Luke thought I should show the one of how the night ended... he wanted to talk to Luke through his window... don't ask... this is when he acts like his daddy... just kidding.. JB

Happy Halloween!!!!

Happy Halloween everyone! This was a fun one... kinda. Gage didn't want to trick or treat so I had to get Luke to take him to the first house.. he wanted to stay and shoot baskets with Luke... Then he finally got into the groove. It wasn't until I looked at the pics that I realized I forgot to put his collar on him... He was a Saint Bernard... He was sooo cute...

Today was wild at work, as you can only imagine. We gave the kids lots of sugar... Luke stayed home tonite to help with the trick or treat kids but there were actually not too many of them.

Oh well, we have a lazy weekend planned so I will write more later. I hope everyone had a great week. JB

can I be tired?????????????

Let's see, we did end up camping out this year. I wasn't sure it was going to happen... Then we went to mom and dad's and the boys wanted to camp. The picture above is the morning after breakfast. Let's just say they have a big time. This year it was an airsoft war and we really didn't see the boys much except when they were eating... For those of you who don't know, we camp at the State Park by mom and dad's house each year. They have the whole park to themselves... it is very nice and easy. I couldn't resist putting up the pic of Gage chillin in his Razorback hoodie. He just liked watching the other guys...

Luke had a good birthday. We went to Shoguns tonite with the family. They made him stand up and they sang and he was embarrassed. I liked it... He is getting so old!!!

I am really worn out, I don't know why, but I feel like I have been hit by a TRUCK... I am starting my diet AGAIN today.. got my nails "did" and I wish I could get a personal trainer, but Bryan said I just need to exercise... I want a trainer to MAKE me exercise... HMMMM>>>>

Anyway, Gage has his ear appointment tomorrow. We find out about the tubes... I am hopeful that we can get the little man well.

Oh well, I am sure I will think of lots more to post after I finish this, but I am brain dead tonite. I hope everyone has a great week!!! JB
