Haegens Birthday

Wow I am such a blogger slacker since I found face book.  I need to start blogging again because I like to use this as a family journal.  Haegens ninth birthday was saturday and he had a great time.  He had some friends from school and of course most of his cousins, and as always family friends.  I am so grateful that his special spirit has chosen to come to our home.  He is such a hard worker and he will do anything for anyone.  He is such a good kid that when he does have a melt down I just don't know what to do with him, haha  Happy Birthday Haegen we love you.

Take Me out To the Ball Game

Well it's officially baseball time.  Whoo Hoo.  Haegen is playing on the city league, pitching machine.  Bryce didn't make the dead line and Rhett didn't have time to coach so he has to do the Rec center coach pitch again this year.
Haegen has already had 3 games and they won all of them.  Rhett has not had a chance to see a game yet because he has been on his 2 weeks of work.  He will get to see a game on Thursday.  Haegen is having a great time.
Bryce asks me everyday when he gets to start playing.... Soon I hope.
Not more is new just trying to adjust to having Rhett gone and then home.

The Things Bryce Says

Oh my goodness Bryce says some of the funniest things.  I need to start writing them down right when he ways them and not wait because I forget by the time I get to journal it.
Yesterday was:
Bryce: " mom will you go to Cal- Ranch and buy me a toy?"
me: "no sorry"
Bryce: "but mom don't you love me?"
me: "uhhhh well I must love you because I gave you $5.00 two day ago to buy the hot wheels you wanted at Walgreens."
He didn't have much to say after that.  He has had a little problem with some swear words that yes I hate to admit he get's it from me and Rhett.  So I have been really watching my mouth, ya know just the simple everyday swear words (not that it right haha) well the past few nights he has been saying in his bedtime prayers to help him not to swear and that he is trying hard.  Then he prayed that his dad would be safe at work and not drop a really heavy thing on his finger again (that happened like a year ago but he still remembers).  Then he blessed that dad won't get girlfriends because he is married. lol  (Rhett always teases Bryce about having a girlfriend so Bryce told Rhett that he had a g.f. and Rhett said he couldn't have g.f.s because he was married."  Then Bryce went on to pray that Taylor would not find a boyfriend because she is not old enough.  I love it when they get to the age where there prayers are so good and you are just floored by some of the things that they come up with.

Thursday March 17th

Well yet again I am a big ol blog slacker.  Not to much has been going on.
Bryce had his tonsils out a month ago.  He did great.  He never complained, I had to make him just sit and relax.  The day he got them out he was trying to run around and play.  After he had them out and was back to school one of the moms who help in his class told me that she thinks his speech is alot clearer.  I have to agree with her it is a strange thing what tonsils can do.  He has a little friend in his class named Chance, he comes home all the time and tells me that Chance is his B.F.F. it is so funny to talk to Bryce he always has something funny to say.
Haegen did the Pine wood derby and had alot of fun.  Rhett was worried that it would at least make it to the finish line but it finish 1st in one race and 2nd in a couple and 3rd and 4th once.  So all in all he did great and he had a good time doing it with his dad.
Well on to Rhett, his company has changed their work schedule to 14 day on and 14 days off.  They did that because they are working 8 hours away now in Wyoming.  He had his first 2 weeks off last weeks and started his 2 weeks on today.  So we will see how this will go.  On a happy note he has been 23 days with out a chew!!!  I am so happy that he finally made this decision.  He has done great with it.  He has gone threw alot of sunflower seeds and gum, gained 15 pounds but he is doing it.  I was thinking today as I was getting ready to sub that just that one choice in his life has already affected how he acts and how me and him get along.  He seems more at peace and happy, (not the first week a a half trust me I wanted to hill him).  But even he and I seem closer.  At least I can kiss him when ever I want now. haha.
Well Taylor is the same not anything new to report on her.  She is doing really good in school and is liking her new young women's more and more.  She would like some babysitting jobs to make some extra money so anyone out there who needs a babysitter let her or me know.  She is good at it, lots of practice with babies with two little brothers and she is the oldest of 7 nieces and nephews.
Well that is all I have for now so I will add pictures when I get home to my computer.
