Meet Brusier

So here is some background. A few weeks before the first snow out dog Gracie came up missing. It was the strangest thing, she was following me around the yard at night and I turned around and she was gone. I called for her and called for her. Then I called up to Rhett's mom and dad's because sometimes when I wouldn't let her in right away she would go over there to get in. Well she wasn't there. So the next day we put out posters and looked for her everywhere. Well fast forward to about three weeks ago, Haegen and Bryce were out back playing baseball and the ball went into the flower bed, Haegen went over to get it and yelled I found Gracie. Well she must have went to the flower garden and died. So my super cute friend Mandy who always has my back heard about Gracie and knew how much my boys loved her, and new some one that needed to find a good home for Bruiser. So now we have a new dog, and the kids love him to death. He is so funny.
He loves Bryces super rabbit cookie.

He would chase cookie around the yard and when cookie would stop Bruiser would push him to keep going. Taylor says he is cookies personal trainer. lol

So thanks Mandy I owe you yet agian.

Tiger League Wrestling

So the boys did the Tiger league this year and they liked it but can I say I totally hated every min. of it. I hope I can talk them out of it next year. Haegen did really good right off the bat Bryce had a hard time figuring out the moves but came out of the gate at the end.

Bryce got to where he would make these phyco faces and act like he was out for blood. It was a little scary to see how much a spot could change your child. Bryce is more competitive and you could tell. Haegen was good at it to. He is such a tough little guy, he said he almost made someone cry and felt bad.

At first I thought oh my heck I hope my boys don't hurt anyone, then after the first practice I thought Wow I hope my boys don't get hurt. Talk about some tough kids in this sport.

My Busy Life

Wow I feel so busy lately. This week has been crazy. I really do not know how mom's work 40 hours a week all the time. This week I subbed at the Middle School in the Special Ed self contained unit, which I love. These kids are great. Don't get me wrong it's tuff the people who do this all the time are great but it is very rewarding. Anyway it has worn me out. (enter the pity party lol). Getting kids up and to the grandma's every morning, go to work, worry if Bryce gets to preschool, round up all kids after school run home, get dinner, go to wrestling practice, run home, shower boys, get them a snack, read books, do homework, put to bed, clean up, get everything ready for the next day, then drop dead in my bed. So those mom's who do this everyday, hat's off to you. I don't know how you do it.
So now here are a few updates.
My dad had surgery on his ankle this last Monday and is home now and doing good.
New baby Breken Kevin Manwaring is doing great, so is his big brother Carver.
Keaton is getting ready to leave for his misson on the 17th, and Rhett's grandma is still in the care center but she might be coming home in the next week. Medicare doesn't want to pay any more. Insurance.....can't live without it but it sure gives you a headache.
Well now that I have board everyone with this post..... I'm out.

Freedom

So we got a pretty good tax return back this year because we were so poor last year. lol I still don't understand tax's . All I know is that I have to pay them and hope to get some back.
Well anyway we took it and paid off my car, got new tires for Rhett and my car's paid off a credit card, and over Christmas we took our bonus and paid off our four wheeler. I feel so good!!! Now I really understand how the prophet talks about debt being a jail. You do feel so trapped when you have debt, and it is so freeing to get things paid off. I am thankful that we have been able to do this. Now we can really start putting money away for those rainy days. I can't believe the difference in Rhett to, he seems like a load has been lifted from his shoulders which it has.

Baby Manwaring

Oh my heck I went to see new baby Manwaring last night and he is the cutest thing ever. He has the chubbiest cheeks. I will post pictures when I get home right now I am subbing at the High School. His mom and dad are still trying to decide on a name so as soon as I hear that I will also put it down.

New Manwaring Baby

My little brother Dillon and his wife Heather had their second baby boy yesterday. He came in at a 8 lbs. 9 ounces 22 inches at 4:17 p.m. I will get pictures up as soon as I get them.

Sitting Here

Well I had to sub for my uncle today at the High School and they were doing testing this morning and he didn't have anyone to come in and test so I thought I would blog.

Rhett grandma is doing tons better they moved her out of I.C.U. and put her in a regular room, and that is about all I know right now.

I got a call to sub for the special ed at the middle school in March for two weeks. I am really excited. I subbed there for four days a couple months ago and I absolutely loved every min. of it. I totally fell in love with all of them. I have really thought about going into special education. I know most people feel uncomfortable around special needs children but I just love them. I nannied (don't know if that's a word or not) for a little girl in Colorado before I got married and I loved it.

So there is my thought for the day. Oh brain storm maybe I will start to do a thought for the day on my blog. I always feel like in order to blog I need pictures and a cool or funny going on's but that will be my New Year Resolution to do a thought for the day on my blog.
