ex husbands

So I guess I have a stalker so I will be careful what I say about my children or certain other people's children. So anyone that has been divorced knows what I am talking about and thank goodness I don't have to deal with mine(ex). My wonderful husband has adopted my son so his dad is out of the picture but other people are having issues with their ex stalking her friends blogs to try and get dirt on her. It won't happen here because she is a wonderful mother to all of her children! I could never say something that the courts would consider bad. That is all I have to say about crazy ex-husbands and thank the world for second chances and wonderful husbands now to help support the women made crazy by the ex-husband!

Kids

Today was crazy hair day at school for Eric and he was very excited to have his hair all crazy and even a hair barret in it! Trevor is not having a great day today and was very tough to get to nap but here he is hugging up to Grandma; she spoils them to much! Later, Amy

Pumpkin Patch fun!

So we had soooo much fun Saturday even though we were really busy. Travis won't even leave the house today he just wants to rest before work tomarrow but we took the kids to the pumpkin patch and got more than just pumpkins. We walked through a corn maze answering questions about agriculture to pick the right path the get out, we fed farm animals corn stalks, we got our faces painted, made bird feeders and picked out our perfect little pumpkins. They didn't have great pumpkins here so I was bummed when we first pulled in but we had so much fun I let the kids pick out pumpkins as long as they weren't green! I'm sure it's the cold weather and frost affecting the color but they were a little sad and kind of expensive for pumpkins. We also had my friend Jenni do family pictures in the morning, you can have a preview at jjhphotography.blogspot.com and they are listed under Jones' She does an amazing job and of course we got to hold the twins while we were at her house and Eric and Cameron finally got to play with each other for a little while.

Halloween party!

Hi, its been a busy week and I think its only going to get crazier with the holidays so close! We had a fun Hallween party this week, kid free, with our Lions Club here in Chubbuck. I managed to avoid having my picture taken as a construction worker! Travis went as a farmer (I know it needed explaining right!) and we had a ton of fun. My Mom and Dad and Travis' Dad and Stepmom were also there. They were so fun and I really enjoyed myself. It made for a later night than usual in the middle of the week but it was worth it. My mom just had a vest and funny thing like a bat and refused to do the bat wings, my dad went as a hunter, shock, shock since that is what he does all fall but we thought we were lucky to get him to go at all since he is such a crab. Denny went as a fishing pole with a fish on and Shirley was a woopie cushion, we we all thought was soooooo funny and Travis wouldn't stop calling her an old fart! Lol! I will try get back on Sunday as I know tomarrow will be too hectic. Later, Amy

Just a crying day!

So I was just looking at my friend Jenni's blog today and thought I would post really quick. Eric today had an accident at school and the school secretary was so mean to me when she called. I'm sure I just took it personal because I dont feel like people understand Eric and I was at work in the middle of a phone call with someone else yelling at me over their tv! Some days I just want to wrap him away from all the world so he doesnt get hurt and other days I just want to throw him out into the world so I have some time to myself without all the crazyness that comes with ADHD. I am really struggling with his treatment options right now after a horrible time with play therapy I gave up on counseling but now I'm now so sure it was the right thing for him. It's hard to continue a treatment when you dont feel like you see any improvement in your home life.

Updates!

So I loved this Japanese style drumming on the float next to us in the parade. They were wonderful and what tradition they took do that kind of music. Ok, so my friend Jenni has been helping me a little with my blog; thank goodness for that! She personalized my colors for me and I will have to learn to do that, I really like it and I am working on getting a family picture up by my header, but it will have to wait a bit longer since today is hectic. She also put my slide show on the side so it will not go into the archives ( and I thought I was doing good just to figure out how to add a slide show!) Travis and my dad went hunting this morning so it is just mom and me with my boys. They must know its the weekend because they are having a hard time sitting still today. We have a ton of errands to do still and its after noon already. We made homemade scones today with honey butter for a breakfast snack and they were a delious treat! I'm sure I don't need to eat anything fried for breakfast but today I will make an exception, lol. I am going back to my original schedule at work, only a week at nights and I think it really threw everyone for a loop! It almost wasn't worth changing for just a week but everyone will be glad to know when I am working again. Well, I have to go and protect my youngest from the oldest so I had better go before someone is dead! I love my children soooooooooo much! I hope everyone has a good weekend, Later, Amy

Parade!

Ok, so we are not the traditional parade watchers, but we love to go and ride with Travis while he drives a float in the parade. Yesterday was the Homecoming parade for Idado State University and we bought tons of candy and still didnt have enough to last till the end of the parade. Trevor was so cute throwing out candy but not very good at it; we picked up a lot of candy off the step of the truck at the end of the parade. Eric rode in the sleeper of the truck with the door opened and watched everyone as we drove by. I admire Travis the more I go with him for all the hard work he does to keep everyone safe. It is an enormous truck and people were in the street and we were driving people little girls while doing jumps on the back of the truck so that would be nerve wracking to me but he is always calm and careful.It was so crazy there were two little kids hurt by other floats that day! We have tons of fun even though Travis is working, lol.
