Wow....A lot has changed!

So I'm not sure where to start!  I guess we can start at Eric and I are building a house!!! Earlier this year we decided to start looking for houses and it turned out that most of the houses that fit our needs were the same price as building one so we opted for building! They have started the house and the basement is finished. Eric is loving his job he comes home with a smile most days which is a great change from previous jobs. I have a job at Wal-mart and....well lets just say its a job. Braxton is starting school this week on Thursday so he is way excited to be going to actual school instead of daycare. Trevin is Trevin he never stops going and he deffinetly keeps Eric and I on our feet. I should probably apologize that I haven't had a chance to update this blog in so long but it's mostly because I am so busy with my little family. Here are some pictures of what has happened since the last time I posted.

Trevin's Birthday

My Family Reunion

MY SILLY BOYS!! oh and don't ask about Trevin's clothes, he was with his daddy that day so I couldn't tell ya what was up with them!

Trevin trying to give daddy kisses!

Our little poser!

Our Love

Today I had to write and essay and the topic was "How will you be remembered?" I wrote the essay on what the people at my funeral would be thinking of me and how they would remember me. I wrote that Eric was there and wrote what he would be thinking of me and how he remembered me as (from my point of view). So having all of that on my mind I wanted to share some short stories about US, some that you might not know. Little stories that I can leave behind for you all to remember us by, or just simply know us a little better.

The beginning was short but very sweet of our life together. Two young kids madly in love with one another, making each others life just that much more happier. The da

y we met was like any other school day. I was changing my classes around and was told the only class available was Ag, so of course I said yes. I walked in the class and there he was, with his mouth wide open and a sparkle in his eye. He of course was talking to me being his outgoing self and flirting a little as well! The days went on as did the flirting.

Than the day that I think was the kicker for us was the day I burnt his hair. Yes that is right, I burnt his hair. We was working with the blowtorches and I happened to lean over the table the same time he did with my blow torch upward. Than there was the time I stole his car and tried to drive it, mind you I had never really drove before.

Than there was the time that we had a "bubble gum war". We wanted to see who could fit the most pieces of gum in there mouths, of course Eric won, and of course I swallowed it.

Oh man and who could forget all those silly fights we had. I always tell Eric that our relationship reminds me of the one on the Notebook. How they fight and than kiss two seconds latter. Ya that kinda would sum us up as well, but it works for us and we both have never been more happier!....

Haha, than there was the rotten orange that ju

st didn't want to leave the car! We had an orange that had been in the car for a few days and I told Eric we better throw that out before it gets to bad and gets all over the car, he opened the window and "threw it out" and than something hit him in the face. Oh man it was the funniest thing to watch, He missed the window and hit the inside of the car and it bounced off and hit him in the face.

A story that I am sure he would just love to tell speaking of cars would be about a bird. Well just to justify it a little I was pregnant and very emotional anyway. We was in a hurry to be somewhere and so he wasn't paying much attention to the road anyway and than all of a sudden a BIG bird is on our window. He didn't even slow down or swerve or anything. So I started crying and calling him a murder and said that he killed an innocent little creature. And he said well what did you want me to do? I told him (balling of course) that he could have swerved or something.

Oh and also vomiting down his truck. Ya I hadn't eaten all day and so when I did eat it didn't agree with me. Poor guy had to clean it off too.

Oh there is so so SO many more stories I wish I could share but my hands, well body for that matter, is hurting so I want to just leave with the point of all of this and that is simply, I JUST LOVE THAT MAN!!!

Erics big day!!

I am so proud of my wonderful husband for all of his accomplishments and just wanted to show off one of his most resent ones. The first picture is the boys and him the night he was going to work as an official Deputy! Our boys are so proud of there daddy! And the rest is the day of his graduation!

I will just let the pictures explain! : )

Awww the joys of children!

Well I forgot a picture on that last one so here is our newest family picture!

An update on our lives!!

STARTING WITH OLDEST TO YOUNGEST!
Eric just compleated a ten week program called POST (Police Officer Standerds and Training) and he is so excited over this as well as the kids and I. He is now working at the Richfeild jail and he is loveing every minute of it! I have never seen Eric more happier at his job. He will officialy be sworn in on the 21st of October and we are all getting excited about that, expecally our little man Braxton! He looks up to Eric and says that he is going to be a cop just like daddy. He even goes to the extent of dressing up as a cop too, with all of Erics uniform! lol

As for me I am going in for a job orentation tommorow at the lovely world of wal-mart! yah! lol I don't know how this job is going to work out but its just a temp job anyways so we will see. I know that I am done working crapy jobs though and have decided that since Eric has his carrer going now, its time I get mine started too! And thats just what I am going to do! This dumb crap that I have been so fortunate to recieve is about the same, but I guess I just have learned to life with the pain! lol I am doing so good though! I am controling my moods alot better, with the help of some pills of course. But they really are not only mine, but my family's life saver as well!

Braxton is now 3 years old and getting so tall and smart! He has recently started preschool and he loves every minute of it! He is learning just how Eric and I work and what he can get away with and what he can't, but yet still he finds ways to get in our cracks and see how far he can go. Which is just so much fun! lol He is our sensitive one though, with a heart big enough for anything and anyone. He is a very stuburn little boy though and defantly wants to do things on his own his way! Which is great and I love watching him being able to make those choices for himself and becoming such a little smarty! He is a great little boy and a great big brother!

Trevin, man he is our firecracker!! He is 1 going on 17! He keeps our family on our toes, but we love it! He is talking so well and its so exciting and fun for us! He has 7 adorable little teeth. He loves to pick on his brother and is definantly the instigater in most all there fights! Actually, he loves to pick on everyone, even our poor little Ody! He is just a very busy, very curious little boy. He favorite game is out of playing hide and seek, or playing catch. He can be such a little sweetheart, you just have to catch it. Whenever his brother is crying (which he does alot) Trevin will always try and hug him or rub his arm or back to make him feel better.

And as for our little Ody, He seems pretty happy. Other than when the boys sit on him or try to wrestle with him. He will be turning 2 in December, but he still acts like a puppy, he chews everything up still!

Well that about wraps it up for us, I will really try to do better with this thing from now on!
