Being April

On Memorial Day we drove about an hour away to Farson Wyoming, where Dean got to participate in a Memorial Day ceremony at the cemetery. It started out with some singing, and a speaker, and then a bunch of kids played guitar. It would have been really nice if my kids hadn't been bored and wanting to run around. After that the Honor Guard provided by the Sheriff's department did a rifle salute and played taps. It was really cool. Dean was the one who got to play the bugle. Many people were impressed with his bugle playing skills, but we didn't tell anyone that it was a special bugle that plays the song all by itself. It is actually the very same bugle that Dean takes to do the military honors at veteran funerals.     After it was over, they provided doughnuts and juice and we met up with Dean. Isaac took a little while to recognize him in his uniform, but when he did, Isaac immediately wriggled down from me, ran to his daddy and gave him a good two minut...

It was a few weeks. So tired, all the time, barely able to get anything done. Then finally, I was able to have a few good days interspersed with the bad days, and now I've had three good days in a row. I even managed to get through today without a nap, and I'm not even feeling like a zombie at the end of the day. I really hope that the worst is behind me and it won't start up again. We took the kids bowling last week on one of my good days. They had a blast. Deano won. Andrew decided early on that he would rather not use the ramp. They both had a great time. Isaac was having a hard time though because he just wanted to play with the balls, and was extremely frustrated that we wouldn't let him. One of the people that worked there gave him a few rubber balls to play with instead. That helped a little, it was a good thing we brought grandma along to keep him entertained.

So, trying to think of what has been going on in my life, and things that I should blog about, I'm not coming up with much. Just one big thing, that I have been avoiding talking about, and it's getting harder and harder not to bring up, because it really has been the focus of my life this last month or so. What has been going on with me? not much. I'm just pregnant. I've been pregnant before, this is nothing new, I thought I knew what to expect. I know they say that every pregnancy is different, and yeah, they all have been, but they've been pretty close. This one is different though, and I am not enjoying it. I am tired. So tired. That's pretty much been the focus of my life these last few weeks. When can I get a nap? is it quiet time yet? Are the boys in bed? can I go to bed now? here, watch a movie so I can take another nap. I need to clean my house... nope taking a nap. Should I start on dinner, or try to sleep some more? ummm, sleep it is. As a result, my ...
