Happenings and Changes

So I wanted to just give some random updates about whats happening around here.
 1. as posted in a previous post Chad and I finally got the old stinky carpet out of the bedroom. We had to get it done because we will be having house guests in a few weeks and they will be sleeping in our room. I really did love my purple walls and they will be missed but the change was welcome. Especially since we are keeping resale or renters in mind in the next year or so.

2. Carsyn had the choice at the beginning of the year to whether play soccer or baseball. Corbyn chose soccer and did great but that season is over. Carsyn chose baseball and it started last week. It's going ok he seems to enjoy it but I wonder if I will ever find his Talent. LOL. Love that boy!

3. Chad hurt his back last night and we have NO idea how. So today's plans got completely thrown off. Instead of finishing getting the garage cleaned back up We spent the morning going to a massage therapist and then a chiropractor. Found out His back definitely has problems and it's going to take several visits to get straightened out. He is pretty sore tonight debating work tomorrow and that is NOT like Chad at all.

4. Speaking of work. Remember in a previous post I talked about UNWELCOME changes? Well it's probably time to come to terms with it and admit it out loud. Chad has been informed that he will have to go over nights starting June 22nd. This is so not a good thing for our family. Our house is so noisy with our high energy boys I just don't know how he will get enough sleep. He will have to leaving the house by 6:30 pm and wont get home until 9:00am  in order to get the hours of sleep he needs he will have to get to bed shortly after getting home. I wont be able to txt or talk to him all day. He will work 4 nights on 4 nights off so basically I might as well leave town when he's working because I wont see him anyway =( =(

5. This summer I've noticed I would rather be doing yard work out in the heat then inside doing dishes and laundry. As a result the dishes and laundry are complaining but my yard looks neatly trimmed and green most of the time =) so if you stop by unannounced we will just sit on the porch

6. Not sure if I ever mentioned this but a few weeks ago we were discussing Carsyn's schooling and deciding where to go from here. We really needed to have peace of mind on what we're doing so we had his take the ISAT's and Carsyn who is supposed to be a 3rd grader took the 4th grade level test and scored advance so that made us feel better.

7. Cooper is growing so fast he climbs up everything I will post pictures later to prove it.

8. Corbyn is becoming a sneaky mischievous little stinker. I think I will have extra gray hairs with that one.

9. Cole. He has a temper (sadly he gets it from me) but it's a bad one. But on a good note he is actually POTTY TRAINING!!!! so far he is my youngest potty trainer. the older 2 were closer to 4. With a little more work and another good week I thing he will be good to go. He only wears diapers at night now.

10. Ok I will finish up this lengthy post with myself. I've really been struggling with my weight I'm not happy that I've let my self go this bad. but I'm starting to do things differently. I started running a couch to 5k program and I only have 5 runs left then I'm "supposed" to be able to run straight through. at this post I'm struggling but pushing through. Tonight I ran 25 min non stop I think it was about 2.5 miles. maybe a little less because I don't run during my warm up and cool downs.

So anyway sorry this is a long post but I will wrap it up now. I've also been trying to do better with my blog so now that you're all caught up on us it will be easier to keep you up to date.

Hope you all have a fabulous day.
