Sunshine and smiles

This week has been quite a bit less stressful than the last few.  Brody's still fussy, feverish, and not right.  We are working with the Dr to figure out if it's Mono, teething, or something else.  Hopefully we discover what it is soon. 

Bill & I bought some new cattle.  We bought 20 bread bows.  Last Sunday Bill came home and got me and the boys and took us to the farm to meet our new mommas.  Cole is so smitten!  He loves cows!  He loves taking care of them.  He was soooo happy to be out there checking them out and helping daddy feed them! 

Brody was not quite sure what to think, until they moo'd at him, then he moo'd back!


I have been making trips to Peoria lately in an attempt to change my life forever.  As soon as we get all the details ironed out and I am sure everything is going to pan out, I will be filling everyone in on what is going to happen.  It's been quite a time consuming event so far!  It's taken quite a team to make these trips happen and to make sure the boys are accounted for and taken care of while I am gone.  Thankfully my cousins Tiffany and Hannah live there so we have a place to flop in between meetings and such.  Our first trip to Peoria we had to do some shopping, of course, before our meeting.  My mom and aunt Carla were along on this trip, so was Brody.  Carla was staying behind to sit with Brody while mom and I were busy.  Thank goodness for that!  Here is a pic of Brody trying on a cute hat while shopping... he hated it!  Winter is going to suck this year... this kid HATES hats,

Guess I should mention how he HATES shoes and socks too... this is him after I put shoes and socks on him.


What a pouty sad sad face!  Poor feller!  He just can't stand shoes and socks on.  Tries so hard to get them off.  This face just breaks my heart.  I hate making him so mad by wearing them!  We are practicing for winter. 

This past Sunday was an amazing day.  We went in to moms and got things ready for a weenie roast.  It was so fun sitting out around the fire, roasting weenies, chatting and drinking with friends.  What a fun night.  They boys had fun and the best part... SMORES!

Gramps has been getting along well.  He has actually been pretty with it the last few times we went to visit.  Monday was such a beautiful sunny Columbus day.  We went out and loaded him up and took him for a nice long walk.  He was laughing and having such a great time.  He really enjoyed it!  It was so nice for Cole to get out and see him, and get to see him actually having some fun.  Last time Cole was out to see him he was pretty sleepy. 


We must have looked quite a sight the five of us out walking around!  It was such a beautiful sunny and calm day.  It was just a great visit.  Brody even enjoyed his ride!  Cole pushed him the entire trip!  Those two crack me up!  Giggling and laughing at each other the whole time! 

It's going to be a lovely weekend!  We have a wedding to go to Saturday.  We are also supposed to paint my grandmas living room this weekend.  Should be fun!  I am excited to do it all!  The weather should be sunny and warm too, that's perfect!!!

Here's to another great week everyone!
