Here's our retarded cat Sadee...

Well I was just doing some laundry and I guess our dumb cat thought it would be a good place to nap. When I walked it she was laying in the dryer. Of course I went to go get the camera and she moved. I guess she knew she was in trouble.

Crandall Update....

Well it's been awhile since I've updated this. A lot has changed in the last month. Brent lost his job in the middle of July. He hasn't been able to find work and has decided to go back to school for Computer Security. So I now have 3 boys in school. I never thought I'd have to go back to school shopping for him! Well since someone has to bring home the money I got a job about 2-3 weeks ago working at the new Walmart on Power and Ray. I work as a cashier usually in the early mornings. So if you're ever there come say hi. At least I get paid to shop there. Ha ha ha! You better believe between my discount and coupons I'm going to save a bundle! My boys think it's awesome that I work there. Heidi on the other hand doesn't understand the changes yet. She been with me all day long everyday of her little life. So when mommy goes somewhere she wants to go as well. When I tell her no she asks WHY??? I wanna go! Poor kid. And when I get home she follows me like a hawk. If I leave the room she wanders around asking "Where's Mommy!?!" It will take her awhile to get adjusted. Brent's doing pretty well being a stay at home dad. He's been great with helping with dinners and dishes. Who knew I married such a domestic! I'm greatful to have him. He's my hero. Other than being crazy busy and dealing with major life changes we are doing pretty well. We're still here, together and healthy. That's all that matters. The boys are doing great in school. Connor loves Kindergarten but has "issues with the other kids" I think it's funny because most kids have been at home and never in a setting where they had to get along with so many different kids. They just don't know how to act with eachother. Bryan is quickly finding out that homework is harder in 3rd grade. He likes his teacher though and is doing great with catching up on his reading. I think the boys like having eachother at school. They sit together on the bus and even walk home holding hands. Now if I can just get them to show that brotherly love at home!

Well that's about it for now. I hear the laundry calling my name! Hope everyone is doing well.

Back to School



Well our boys are back at school. Bryan in 3rd grade and Connor in Kindergarten. They were both so excited they could barely go to sleep. Brent and I were able to take them both to their classrooms.

Connor we could see was a little nervous as we approached the kindergarten playground. There were a lot of kids and parents and I have to admit the scene was a little overwhelming. We found his teacher Mrs. Trakas and she showed him where to put his backpack gave him a name tag and he was ready to go play. So we got hugs and a goodbye as he ran out the door. I can't believe my baby is in school. He still seems so little to me.

Bryan our seasoned pro was ready to go. We took him to his classroom and he knew what to do. We got our hugs and a goodbye and watched him as the door closed. I can't believe he is in the 3rd grade. Time goes so fast and he seems to grow at twice the speed.









And then there was one! Heidi is our only one still home. It's strange how quiet everything seems. It will be interesting to see how Heidi handles being the only one here. She's used to having Connor to tease...I mean play with all day.
