So today is a sad day but a happy day kinda. Today Brian would have been 25 years old. Which is so crazy to think about since the last time we saw him he was 19. He has been gone almost six years and I have to tell you that it is still just as hard not as much tears but still the sadness is here. He was such an annoying little kid we could not get along to save our lives, he only liked valerie the favorite.(ahahahahaha) Oh we would fight and there was this one time that involved a broom and an apple and a scared friend under the table. We finally started to get along later and he became such a great man. He was the best uncle and Aubrie still talks about him to this day and Brian who never knew him talks about how he wants to be just like his Uncle Brian. We all have our own theory that they knew each other in heaven and Brian my brother let brian in on some secert ways to annoy me and then he kissed his forehead. Brian has a birth mark on his forehead that looks just like South Africa that was bright red when he was born, so I think that was my brothers way of letting my mom know that he was ok. Brian my son always tells people that it is so funny to hear him telll the story. Anyways enough rambling Happy Birthday and we miss you!!!!!!

Kid Vacation

So my kids are leaving for 10 days. They are going to Pheonix to stay with Dane's parents. They go for a week every year but this year due to stupid track break they are going twice. They spent a week in April down there to. Aubrie already has a list of things that they are doing. Number one is go shoe shopping with her Granny Goose and Aunt Debbie. They all have that sickness "Shoe Obession" I have no idea where she got it I hate with a passion DSW but that is always their first stop. Brian is just excited to go he wants to go the zoo and eat out with Grumpy.
I have major plans of redecorating while they are gone. We are putting Bead Board and Chair Rail and new baseboards in Aubries room. I got here a new nightstand and she got a new desk. We are painting her room Frosted Tulip on the upper half and then the Bead Board. I am so excited I have wanted to this since we moved in. I am also going to try and repaint Brian's room because we are having the carpet cleaned in their rooms so they will be empty. These are my big plans but i always have the best intentions. I just hope i can get something done.
First things first I will be kidless for a week, I know that it sounds fun and it is until the second day and you realize that you are lonely and have no one to Yell at. Haahahahahaha this is it

Track Break

I have to give a huge "Thank You" to the idiot who thought of 12 month school. Oh lucky us we got track three and now Aubrie is out until the 7th of November then she goes for two days and then has a four day weekend and then the goes for a week or two and then we have Thanksgiving Break. SO now my days will be filled with what I am listening to now, brotherly and sisterly love. Brian just told Aubrie that "you are not my favorite sister". Oh how I love track break, i think i might volunteer at work for free. I think the man( which it had to be a man with no children) who started this thing in vegas should be duct taped to a chair and made to listen to my kids for the whold track break.
I often day dream of the days when my kids could play together for longer then two minutes without fighting. I feel for my mom who had three of us, but of course valerie was perfect and so that leaves me and brian, who never got along until I got married and moved out. Oh what I would not give to fight that boy right now, quess i have to wait for that until I reach heaven.
