The last week was one of the worst weeks of my life. I am so tired of talking about it I dont even want to post it here because that means I will have to re-live it once again. But something Carson said that was pretty cute when we did not know what was wrong with Davis he looked at me and said...I just wish that this mystery was solved right now. We had a wrestling tournament for Carson in Humboldt and he got first place. The kids seemed to be pretty inexperienced so I am looking forward to watching a good match. He is pretty proud of his trophy.
Davis is doing great, he is getting bigger everyday. He weighs 14 pounds 6 ounces and wearing 6-9 months clothes. He is smiling all the time and loves to kick around under the star toy we have for him. He also loves the paper on the doctors tables. Cayden is playing the Cello this year and doing great in school. He is in TAG and loves being challenged. The boys will be with Chris for Thanksgiving so that makes me sad to not spend this day with them but we are not even doing Thanksgiving with my family. Mom is dating a guy I dont particularly care for. Creeps me out for some reason. Dad is dating the lady he had an affair with while he and mom were still married. Shelle and Jeff are in San Antonio. Tom and I and Davis are going to his Grandma's in Clarion. I did not feel like rushing there just to get back and spend time with mom and her boyfriend...its just too akward. She is going to make a little dinner for Ryan and Kyle and Larry is coming later. Dad will be with his girlfriend.
Sad, terrible, tragic news. Jeff's best friend Mike Stuzman died last night in a farm accident. He and his wife Jess just had a little girl, Sophie about a week before I had Davis. He was crushed under the blade of a combine. He and his father were repairing it and some how it fell and crushed him. Jeff is just a wreck and Shelle is in shock. I feel so terrible for everyone that loved him. I hung out with Mike and Jess a few times and they are just wonderful people. I cant imagine what Jess will do without him. Shelle said it best when she said that there are just some people who you know belong together and you can never see them with anyone else. They had one of those magical relationships. It is better to have love and lost than to never have loved at all.. Rest In Peace Mike!!!

Precious moments
I decided to start this mainly for myself...I have a terrible memory. I have so many memorable moments that have happened with my boys over the years and sometimes I randomly remember things that I would like to have a record of because who knows if I will be able to recall that memory ever again. After having Davis I have once again been reminded of the many precious things that are experienced that I never want to forget.
I guess I will start with something funny Carson said the other day. I had taken him to Erin (Davis' babysitter) because he had gotten out of school early and I still had to work. This is the first time Carson has been there in over a year and first time he has been there when Davis was there. Erin had Davis in his carseat in the kitchen with her when she sent Carson down to the basement to watch a movie with the other kids. During that time she had Davis out to let him stretch and had him in the swing as well...she had just put him back in the carseat when Carson came back up from watching the movie. He went over to give Davis a kiss...looked at Erin and said..."Don't you think he has been in that carseat long enough." Awww....big brother looking out for his little brother.
We took Davis to the ER over the weekend..apparently he must have bumped his head on something without us knowing. I noticed while holding him that he had some swelling on the right side of his head. They did a CAT scan and it showed that it was a hemotoba which is a fancy name for a bruise. The weird thing is that it never was red or looked bruised...just swollen and soft to the touch. That was a four hour trip but well worth it to make sure everything was ok. Grandpa Dean picked Davis up from daycare for the first time yesterday...he offered to pick him up everyday so he can see him. I think that he is beginning to get a little stir crazy after retiring a couple months ago.
Tom is going to be going to the Iowa/Minnesota game this weekend with Jarret. They will be meeting Nate and his girlfriend Melissa and staying at Nate's mom's apartment. He is pretty excited about this...not sure what me and the boys will be doing. Andrea offered to have us come down and do some Christmas shopping but I think Carson might wrestle in the Humboldt wrestling tournament this weekend.
Cayden and Carson spent the first week with their dad at their new house last week and that seemed to go well. They started to get their rooms put together and Grandma Deb came over to make them curtains for their rooms.
We will busy this week with wrestling and church...and if Carson has a good week at school I told him he could have a friend stay the night sometime this weekend.
Back to work...hopefully I will be good about updating this!!
