Been a while...

It has been a while since I have blogged. We have just been so busy making repairs on the house and Dylan's school and football. Everything is going good though. We have had our roof repaired and the sheetrock replaced. We are having another company come out and give an estimate on our fence today. Hopefully they will be cheaper than the first guy that came out. I have one bid on the carpet in Brady's room but it is just absolutely outrageous so I am thinking we will go down to Lowes and let them do it for much cheaper and I have heard they do a good job.

Dylan is making all A's in school so far this year. I am EXTREMELY proud of him and it just goes to show that the teacher a child has makes a world of diffrence. He is doing very well in football. The coaches call him the bull. He thinks he is the king of the world. It is hilarious!! He also carved his first pumpkin by himself this year. It turned out very good!!

Brady is running everywhere and getting into everything he is not supposed to. Says lots of words and has just started pointing. He is definitely something else. This age is so fun!!

DH is finally getting a break from work and is back to his regular schedule rather than 7 12's. Which is awesome because I get a little break now. I got to stay home last night with Brady while he took Dylan to practice which was very nice.

I will try to start posting and updating more often.

Let's get the ball rolling!!

Our insurance adjuster finally came out and took pictures and did all that was needed to get the ball rolling on getting us our check. I have called contractor after contractor and no one seems to return calls. I have had 2 out of oh about 25 or so call back....seriously. This is ridiculous. I know they are busy and I really try to be patient but I really can not stand when someone says they will call me back before the end of the day and they don't. That is one of my major pet peeves. I am the type of person if I say I am going to do something I will do it come hail or high water. It really just ticks me off so bad!!! Anyways the contractor that came in and fixed the huge mess the first contractor made after Rita is one of the ones who called back. He is supposed to come out tomorrow and give us an estimate. The only things that need to be done asap are the roof repairs and the sheetrock over my stove so I don't have this huge hole in the ceiling. Well it is not really huge but it is big enough for Brady to stare at it and point and wonder what the heck is wrong!! Not to mention that so much heat comes in right there and it is already super hot in the kitchen when I am cooking as is. I do not want to see my electric bill this month that is for sure!!
