New Furniture

We are very aware that we have way too much furniture for our little home, but we don't care. That just means we need a bigger home!(hint, hint-Colby) At this point, the more the cozier?! Not really, but Colby has had our couches for almost 8 years now and lets just say, they've seen their day. For us anyway. My sis-in-law's brother is getting married and needed some 'cheap' furniture, and what an opportunity for me to get some new. I jumped on it anyway. I still need to find some throw pillows to add a little color, but they are super comfy, and just what I wanted.

Big Trouble!

So, this is what Cutler has been UP to lately. No good! This is a daily thing for him and honestly, I don't know what to do to get him to stop climbing in and on everything. Literally! The kitchen table, the stools, chairs, Noah's toolbox, and the drawers. I can barely take my eyes off him and he's climbing. Well, last night we had just got our new couches(later post) and the boys were in Noah's room playing. All of a sudden, Noah comes running out with a big smile on his face and says, "Mom, come see this, you've gotta see what Cutler's doing" Right then I knew and took off into the room to get him out of the drawer. But, before we got there the dresser came crashing down on him. He was in the bottom drawer bent all the way forward, with the whole dresser laying on top of him. He was screaming, but luckily he wasn't seriously hurt, mostly just scared. So was I! After we got him out I was holding him and went to sit on the bed and he thought I was putting him down so he grabbed my shirt and wouldn't let go. That's when I knew he was scared. So, I'm not glad this happened to him by any means, but maybe it scared him enough to not do it again. There hasn't been any climbing today, so I'm crossing my fingers.

What the...Bachelor?! (Forever!)

Seriously! What the heck just happened?! Has anyone watched this season? I don't know who has but what the heck? So, he liked Jenni from the very first episode, and I thought DeAnna was gone a long time ago. Obviously he saw something in her. He's gorgeous- scruff and all, a millionaire, nice, seemed sincere...I don't know what to think anymore. I guess at least he didn't propose to one of them knowing he wasn't going to take it any farther, and just prolong the heartbreak. But now what does he do? He just had 25 women thrown at him and sent every one of them packin'. So here he is, single again. I get that he didn't 'love' any of them, but it's just crazy he broke every one of the girls' hearts plus his own. Or did he?! We'll find out tomorrow on "After the Final Rose"...

I am THANKFUL for...

My husband. This post will come as a total surprise to him because I know he thinks I only think about the little boys in my life... Wrong! Colby is the best husband ever. I honestly don't know what I would do without him, yes I do, go crazy! He cooks when he can see that I have had a not-so-fun day, he'll clean when I've had a not-so-fun day, he takes care of the kids after a not-so-fun day. See a pattern yet? He helps hang things on the walls, he'll wash my car, he helps SOOO much. It's starting to sound like I don't do much so I have to stop listing things he does. He doesn't do 'projects' - which most of you know. It's funny because I grew up doing 'projects' as my family likes to call them, and well, he didn't. So when something needs to be put together, that's my department, but I like it. So today while we are enjoying the sounds of sleeping little boys, I want to tell you honey, I love you! And I am so thankful for all that you do for me and our family!

Warning!

What you are about to hear is a lot of country music. A lot of Kenny Chesney country music. So if you do NOT like Kenny Chesney or country music you should turn your speakers down, or off, or pause the player. Do whatever you have to do - but I love him.
Ok, so this is a dumb post but I have to say it. As most of you know I LOVE Kenny Chesney, and have for many many years now. (Colby's jealous -haha) So before I start playing Christmas music I wanted to have some of my Kenny favorites on here. Yea for Kenny Chesney!!

Happy Halloween!

So the day itself was a very busy one as I'm sure most of yours was. Noah had school and of course they got to wear their costumes. He had a morning full of Halloween fun. They even paraded around their little classroom. They had just got done reading a Halloween story when I picked him up.

After school I had both the boys take a nap so that I could get a few things done because I knew I wasn't going to be able to get things done that night. As soon as they woke up I took them to the Holiday Inn's pumpkin patch. We got a few good pictures before the rest of the town showed up...

When Colby got home from work and ready, we went over to my parents house for mom's chili. She has made it a tradition for us and it was yummy as ever. We met Shan & Jennifer with the boys over there and got a few more pics...

You all know what it's like to get a "good" picture with 5 little boys all looking at the camera and smiling, right? Well, this is what you get! After grandma Miller's we went back to our neighborhood trick-or-treating. Then we made our way to Grandma Sherie's and over to the Labrum's. All in all it was a great Halloween, not a ton of crazy kids, and not a ton of candy! We hope you all had a safe and fun Happy Halloween. (Now on to greater things...Thanksgiving and Christmas!!!)
