Wow, there has been so much going on around our house lately! That's why we haven't been bloggin', we just haven't had time for ANYTHING. We have finally moved, though we still have quite a bit of unpacking to do. We love our new house and we love our new neighbors, they are all so nice. There are kids right next door for the boys to play with, and they all get together and play almost every evening while the adults stand around talking. It's really nice and so different. It is a little bitter sweet because we miss our old neighbors...most of them. It is so quite around here too! No dogs barking, guns shooting, people yelling, police and fire trucks all night long to keep us all awake. We are still doing a little bit of work to the house, but I will post a picture soon.

Joseph started second grade this year and he loves it. His teacher is great and he really likes her. I had to pick him up from school early one day last week for a doctors appointment and he comes running up saying "Mommy, you are NOT going to believe this! My teacher this year doesn't give you a color change when you have to leave early! That's TOTALLY AWESOME!" (His teacher last year did give him a color change when he had to leave early! Crazy, right?) There are only 5 kids in his class this year. He did have to get a hair cut for school, which he wasn't happy about. Here is hair before the cut, you can see why he had to get a cut:



He is getting so big! It's hard to believe I have a 7 year old! He amazes me everyday how smart he is! He finally has his own room in the new house and is really happy about it. He keeps it so clean and everything organized in specific places, it's really cute. Joe will also be starting guitar lessons soon. He has been wanting to take them for awhile now and he got a guitar for his birthday this year, but it just seems like things just keep coming up and getting in the way, but we promised him he could start after school started. He is so cute with his guitar! He will sit around in the back yard with his ipod, listening and playing his guitar and singing along with the music. SO CUTE! He has also been doing yoga on the wii fit and loves it. Here he is (it's a phone pic so it's not great):



David started Pre-k this year, though he's only been 2 1/2 days so far, including today. He has been super, super sick. Like screaming bloody murder all night long from pain, can't sleep, can't eat, only cries all day long kind of sick. He's still a little under the weather, but things are definitely looking up and he is finally sleeping at night. Here he is on his first day of school:





He is still a little uneasy about the whole school thing, but he is slowly warming up. I'm sure in a few weeks he'll be a pro. He ended up at a school about 10 minutes from the house instead of the one 2 blocks away, we were a little disappointed, but feel blessed to be at either one of the schools, as they are both AMAZING! I don't know the whole story, but the week we moved I heard something on the news about a shoot out at the school that he would have been going to if we had not moved, God had perfect timing!

And Will, oh Will. What can I say, he's definitely 2. Terrificly 2 or Terribly 2, I'm not sure. He's driving me bonkers and making me laugh all at the same time. He is so full of energy and one of the most opinionated little boys I have ever met and boy is he loud and LOVES to talk, I think I hear him say my name 1,000 times a day. Will went to the doctor yesterday and the doctor sent him to get a ultrasound, where we found out that his Hydrocele has come back and he will have to have surgery. They will have to make an incision in his lower stomach to drain the fluid build up, but hopefully he will not have to wear a cathedar home this time. We go to the specialist in the morning and will find out more. Here he is (hasn't he gotten HUGE!?):



Brian has been at his new job for a few weeks now and is liking it so far. The first 6 months he will be on rotating shifts which I am not to excited about, but after that he will be on 3rd until a 1st shift position comes available. I am planning on starting my business up again after Will's surgery. I have had to take a short break just due to everything that has been going on and I have just been way to busy to even think about anything else. I was really excited to find out last night that my new next door neighbor and friend, Britnay, also makes jewelry and has a small business. I am excited to get to see her stuff and hopefully we can help inspire each other. It's always hard to know if what you are making is really cute or if you are the only one that likes it, so it'll be nice to have someone to bounce ideas off of.

We miss everyone, we haven't had time to spend time with hardly anyone! Hopefully things will calm down soon, but I'm sure that's just wishful thinking :) Thanks for everyone's prayers and support through these big changes in our lives, especially my mom and dad, Joel and Tressa, and Wayne and Elaine, who helped us move. There is NO WAY we could have done it without all of your help! THANK YOU!!! I should have more pictures soon, but my camera cord is currently MIA.
