his mind is made up

every year about this time i start to plan brennen's birthday parties. yes my sons birthday is in aug but hey i like to get a jump start. plus i make a lot of the decorations and i like to not be rushed. this year he has decided on a cowboy party and i am so excited. we will ask everyone to come in their cowboy and cowgirl attire and maybe we will even have a small pony to ride, thats a BIG maybe. we know someone who has them but we dont know if he can get them here. so now it is time to start planning on what i will make an what i will buy. i already have so many ideas i cant wait to get started..

giddy up cowboy!!

up hill

Things have been going pretty good here. We still don't know if the ordders for the deployment have dropped or if he got picked up to work at the unit until d day but he did get a small job on the side until he leaves or until he gets the one wiht the unit. Im still holding out faith that he will get the guard job since thats a great thing for us but it is whatever god thinks is best. D doesn't really care for what he is doing right now and i can't say i blame him but its a job and he gets paid. so thats always the plus side.

in other news i have been trying to work with brennen on helping out more around the house. picking up his toys really is a hard thing for me to get him to do so we are going to start a reward chart. when he cleans he gets a piece of candy. i am hoping this works since i am running out of ideas. fingers crossed...

also it is getting to that time when we need to start looking at birthday party options. yes you might be saying thats not until aug but i like to get a head start and i like to make most of his decorations. i would love to do a harry potter party but i think i will save that one for a few years down the road. i also thought about a cowboy party. and have everyone dress up like cowboys and cowgirls. that would be fun.. but i guess it is his choice.

until next time.. have a great weekend...
