Christmas Prep
So since Mike was leaving on the 12th and I had most (if not all) of the boys' Christmas already bought, we decided we needed to wrap, so that I wouldn't be stuck with it all before Christmas and/or it wouldn't have to be something that was done Christmas Eve. So we wrapped everything we had. I did buy something else for Greyson that I will need to get wrapped, but at least the bulk of it is done! YAY!
Halloween
Before Mike left, we were able to go and find the boys Halloween Costumes for this year. I feel like I haven't been on top of it because I usually have their costumes by September, but this year was harder to find things they wanted. But we made them pick from what Target and Walmart had, and they all walked away happy!

Birthday (34)
I turned 34 at the beginning of the month. Oh man, am I getting old. It was a Sunday, and there was Conference, so we ordered Waffle Love Dough and had Waffle Love Waffles for breakfast and Homemade Cafe Rio for dinner. It was all so good and and nice break from my normal eating. It was a good day to spend with my family and I am glad Mike didn't have to leave before my birthday.

Greyson's First Day of Kindergarten
This is Greyson's first day of Kindergarten 8/29/2016. He is getting so big! Where is the time going?
Sundays
This is a normal Sunday for us. Greyson is being crazy, we are starting a book, and Garett is asleep because he didn't have a nap. (This was a Sunday in August before Greyson started school 8/28/2016).
Splash Pad
The end of August, we finally made it to the splash pad for the year. The boys were super excited and we could say we crossed it off the list for 2016!
It is time to Catch up
Hello in Blog Land. I haven't blogged since August. I say it is time for an update, right? Well, most of my new photos are now on my computer because I had to move them over from my phone, but the ones I have on my phone will have to do for now until I can get home and update from my computer with all the pictures.
But first, how about a family update?
Garett - He is growing like a weed. He wants to go to school so bad like his big brothers, but we keep telling him he will go next year. He can sing his ABC song and lots of other songs. He loves watching Zootopia and doing anything his brothers do. He loves playing outside and with Legos, even though he isn't supposed to. He loves his big boy bed, and is my most unpicky eater. He is in size 7 shoes, size 4 diapers and size 3T clothes.
Greyson - Loves Kindergarten and his teachers and friends. Kinda got off to a rough start, but had really adjusted and is learning a lot. He reads a lot of words already and loves to read with us at night and pick out the words he knows. He loves to play outside except for when a dog or cat is around. He is my best sleeper and will usually fall asleep really fast and sleep in the next day. He is in 5T and size Small Boy's clothes and size 10 shoes. He still has to wear a pull up at night, but is waking up more nights dry then wet nowadays, so it is getting better. He is my kid that knows what is wants, likes and isn't afraid to let you know his opinion. He also is very sensitive when he is doing something wrong and being disciplined. He doesn't like it when people are mad at him.
Gavin - He is doing so good a Dual Immersion Spanish and is really taking off with it. He struggles with Math, but once he gets a chance to do some homework he knows what he is doing and gets better at it. He loves reading his Chapter books and will sit down with Greyson and Garett and read to them. He loves to play outside and with Legos. He still wakes up super early in the morning, but that is just Gavin. He is in Medium Boy's clothes and size 12 shoes. He is really my get along by himself, entertain himself, play by himself boy. He will play with his brothers, but doesn't have to.
Mike - Mike left for training in Texas last week, so we are on day 10 without him. It has been crazy, lots of ups and downs, lots of firsts, and chaos, but we are getting through it, one day at a time. He has tests everyday he has to take and it has been going good, they haven't sent him home yet. He has a big text next week that he is really studying for and it is a big one, so pray for him to pass it so he can continue. We haven't come this far for him to be send home 2 weeks in!
Me - Still working, hoping Mike's first paycheck in November can help pay down some debts and I can quit my job the end of the year. Our babysitter graduates from school the end of December and wants to start looking for a job, so I will need to get something figured out. All my Christmas Shopping for the boys is mainly done and wrapped. I just have Mike, family and stocking stuffers left to get. Other than that, we are just plugging along.
So, that is a little update on us! I will post some specific things with pictures next :)
