Happy Halloween!

Ok, Kim, here it is!

First of all, I want to say thanks for all the love and birthday wishes from all of you. I had a very fun day, except the little incident with Chance not wanting to go back to his dad's. He was crying hysterically and did not want to leave me. Mom made sure that I didn't spend a moment alone, which I really appreciated. I got the kids for trunk or treating, and that is when Chance didn't want to go back. Oh well. I did manage to get a pic of my boys and Jen's kids.

AJ is Darth Vader. Bryce is The Hulk. Chance is Black Spiderman.

Kylee is Alice in Wonderland. Ben is a Hunter. Brooke is Jasmine.

Flag Football ( a little late, lol)

Ok, everyone, bear with me on this one. I know that I am late in posting about AJ's flag football, but at least I am getting it done, lol. Better late than never. So, AJ was extremely excited to play football. I will have to admit that he wasn't exactly very good at his first game. But, he had never played before, so what could I expect. By the second half, though, he was getting better. By the end of the season, he had many several touchdowns and even more tackles (getting the flag). He really loves football and is definitely looking forward to tackle football. I am happy that he has several more years before that. Until then, I do believe that he will rock flag football!

Getting a flag! He was always so proud of that. Then, he would look over at us and make sure we saw it. He loved getting flags.
AJ doing that thing where he gives them the ball after the one guy says hut. Please, stop laughing already, everyone!

After his first game. He was so excited for the next game.



So, I learned a lot this year in terms and plays. I have a lot more to learn, though, before he starts tackle football. He is always outside practicing football and always talking about next season. He has plans to play for the BOISE STATE BRONCOS!!!!

Mom's request

Mom said that I should post pics of the pumpkins lit up, so I am. I hope you guys like them. The boys are extremely proud of them. Yesterday, Chance picked up his pumpkin and took it to the neighbor's house several times, to show all of them his pumpkin. If any of you come over, they will probably take you outside to show them off!

Pumpkin Carving

So, much to everyone's suprise, I remember how to post pics and post on my blog!

Well, today we decided to get our pumpkins carved. I would have waited, but I'm afraid I would run out of time. So, we did them today and I hope they will survive till Halloween. Chance was so cute! He would get a handful of guts and then flip them off his hand as fast as he could. I had a book so that I could do fun things on their pumpkins, but AJ insisted on telling me how he wanted it done. Chance and Bryce, though, had fun picking out things for me to carve out. When we were done, we had to put on our beautiful vampire teeth for the pic! It was so much fun!

T-Ball and Whiffle Ball

Well, I went all out this year and made sure to sign AJ and Bryce up for something. Since AJ hasn't broken his leg yet this year, it makes it all easier.

I may be a bit biased, but I do believe that AJ is the best on his team. This is the first time he has ever played T-Ball, but he does a pretty darn good job. He hussles like crazy and is catching on to the sport in record time. He can even throw into the other persons mitt, which dad can attest to since we both saw the awesome play of AJ snagging the ball and throwing it to first, right into her mitt! I am completely impressed by him!

Let's not forget about little Shorty! Bryce is a little younger than AJ, so obviously he is not as advanced as him. However, he loves to play and he loves to be involved with the sport. I personally don't think that this is "his" sport, but we will find out what is and put him in it!

All in all, this will be a very fun season. Feel free to come to any and all of the games. We are there on Monday thru Thursdays.

Divorced doesn't mean it's all good

So, I talked to Jason today. He has informed me that he doesn't want to be alone with me because I can do or say whatever I want. Whatever that means. Does he honestly think that I am going to try something. Look at the size difference. Give me a break. Besides, who is the one that threatened who?

So, he said that the reason he is having a yard sale is because he has no room for all the stuff he has. I don't really care, he acted like I should. The bad thing is that he is selling the boys' stuff they sent over there. What a great daddy. Now, he has decided that he also wants the other ladder on top of the boys' sleeping bags and chairs. He is so selfish. I am so grateful that I came to my senses and left him.

In case you can't tell, I am a little upset about this. He is blackmailing me to get the sleeping bags and chairs. The place for my house payment screwed up and now I have to sign papers again. Well, he said he will sign them only if I give him the ladder, sleeping bags and chairs. I don't want to lose my house, so he is definitely being a jerk! I just hope that the boys figure things out.

Holy Crap

Ok, so it's been a couple days since I posted on here. Sorry bout that, been kind of busy with school, work and sick kids and sick mommy. I have been super busy with school. I only have electives left, except for my captstone. So, I had reviewed the classes I wanted to make sure that there would be no huge research projects in any of them. Holy Crap was I ever wrong. I have two classes with research projects and portfolios due. The third class is rather simple, thank heavens.

I have still found time to squeeze in time for the kids' easter stuff and birthday parties. I try to take the boys to the park every Friday, mainly so I can visit with the other adults there. It has been a blast for all of us. That is something I never would have been allowed to do before. Well, let me clarify. I could go to the park, but I would have to go at a certain time and be back at a certain time. Those times would have made it impossible to see any other adults there, or at least the ones I know. I have definitely had a lot of fun since the seperation.

And I have a little update on my divorce. Jason signed the papers yesterday! Well, some of the things he has agreed to is that if he goes back to work at Ore-Ida, he must pay me 528 a month in child support. If he doesn't, then I just get the disability. But, if he goes back to work then he has to start paying child support to me. Obviously. He also agreed to paying 30% of medical and daycare, but if he goes back to work then he has to pay 50%. He also agreed to me taking Bryce and Chance for tax purposes every year. Of course, he thinks that I am going to let him take two one year and one the next, and back and forth. I said ok to that, but honestly I'm not going to do it. I just didn't want him dragging this out any further and so I said yes. So, it's in the papers that I get two of them every year. Maybe I could be nice, but it just depends on how he treats me. So, it's almost done, for real this time. I can't wait to be an Anderson again!
