Halloween was such a great time. It was bitter sweet though because it was our first holiday as a family in another state. It was celebrated around our area for two days. The kids loved getting dressed up two times. Saturday we had a party for the end of the season baseball and softball season. The kids had a great time!! We went to a block party and the kids saw lots of kids from school and we met up with lots of friends!! After we had dinner with some frinds and then took the party to our house!! We used the hot tub and the kids seemed to have a good time!! It was so much fun! There are hardly any subdivisions here so all the trick or treating is street walking and the house are spread out so alot of people do the trunk or treating!! We did end up on Sunday doing some of both. The kids got so much candy. They had a blast!!
We are also putting in new flooring, which has been a project for a few weeks now!! So far so good and hopefully we can get done tonight!! It is looking so GOOD !! I love Cody that he is so willing to put it in and he is doing a great job!! The hot tub is needed as he is super sore from all the bending!!
I got a JOB!! I am so excited and I start next week!! The kids are going to go to a after school program through the YMCA and they are pretty excited about that!! It is just a Registrar position through a local medical office but I feel good about the opportunity and getting into the medical field!! I will keep you update on that!!

2 months of living in NC
Cody was camera happy!! 
First day of School!!
It has been officially over 8 weeks since we have moved to North Carolina!!! Where has the time gone??? Well I will tell ya....
The kids are adjusting to school and they come home excited about their day. The teachers are GREAT and all 3 kids are meeting some amazing kids and friends!! Katelyn has missed a few friends from Idaho esp Gavin but she has found a new crush. The only problem is he is in 7th grade!! He is on Austin's baseball team!! He is a cutie though!! Austin still doesn't care for girls which I am okay with. And for Bryce, well he has a girlfriend, and he tells everyone that she is CUTE!! Her name is Bezida. She is a sweet little girl but it is so funny to hear how Bryce talks about her. He tells us that he is in love and she doesnt know it!! Or we ask Bryce if she is in his class, he replies yes. We ask if they sit by eachother he says yes right beside him.... So we have fun with that and say Bezida sits Beside ya.... it funny!!
The kids are in baseball and soon to be in basketball. Everyday of the week we are at a practice or a game. The only day to get things done is Sunday. Katelyn is doing GREAT in softball as this is her first year playing with the only girls!! Austin is AMAZING with the older kids and it is so fun to see the older kids just encourage him and help him achieve and succeed. Bryce is playing coach pitch ball and he is having a blast and is a SUPER little hitter!! I am having a blast watching the kids and meeting some moms along the way.
Cody is doing great at his job and still have high expectations for himself. He is also coaching Bryce's team and so he is busy too!! We eat dinner together about 9 pm, I know its bad for you but it is the time we get home and have some down time. And when i say we, I mean Cody and me, the kids eat before games!! I do feed them, lol!!
I am still trying to get the house in order and trying to find colors to paint and decor ideas. There are about 5 rooms that I am trying to accomplish but I just look at colors and I like them all but not sure if they are right in that room!! I need a creative vibe my way!!! I am helping 2 days a week in Bryce's class and it is fun to see him learn and grow!! He is a sweet kid in class and always gets compliments on how much he helps and interacts with the daily things they do!! He is eager to learn!!
Illness took over my life for 3 and a half weeks and I am glad to get my life back and this house back in order and accomplished!! I was diagnosed with cluster headaches and there were days where I could only get our of bed for a few hours a day. It was miserable, BUT I am back!!
The weather is awesome right now!! Not to hot and not to cold during the day. At night gets chilly...So that means one thing---HOT TUB time!! I am so excited about that and so are the kids!! Well I think that is all for now till I get some painting done so her are a few pictures of life the last 8 weeks!!
