We're Still Here

OK so I have been really bad about blogging lately but I don't' have my computer with me Corey has it. So still no pic just a run down of what we have been up to. So as you know Corey is working hard in Richland and staying with some wonderful people a friends grandparents. He is doing fine board and a lot lonely but other wise fine. HE was home for Thanksgiving for 4 whole days it was WONDERFUL we loved having him home and with us, but the time was to short. The kids and I are still with Grandma and Grandpa Bowles and are the same doing fine but missing daddy soooo much. Thanksgiving was fun with all our friends and family then black Friday shopping at midnight (OK we left at 10 pm ) to after 8 am but now we're done or should be if i could stay out of the stores :). Corey is house hunting for us and has one he really like and every thing I have seen in the pic it looks really good so we are moving forward and will be putting an offer in some time this week or weekend.

we are mostly just going day to day not much going on. But two weeks ago we got snow and had snow days that was fun Logan who had never seen it be for could not stay out of it every time the door was open he was out there shoes or not. Thea is not a big cold person and wants to move home to the dessert and the sun shine she doesn't really get that it's cold there too. Donovan learned how to have snow ball fights thanks to me and thinks its the only thing to do in the snow. The kids are all looking forward to Christmas. We went and got our/Grandma and Grandpas tree. There was so so so much mud the kids loved it and where so muddy when we left again thanks to mama who said there so happy playing in the mud honey let them play. they my car was muddy next time we'll lessen to daddy. I have pic of every thing we're doing and when I have my own computer again I will blog like crazy. I hope every one is having a wonderful Holiday season and enjoying this wonderful time of year!

From weeks ago

This is from weeks ago at the children's museum in Tri Cities. The kids had so much fun and I loved it because it was big enough to keep them busy but small enough that I didn't have to run from room to room to keep up with each kid.

Dance Class

Thea has been taking tap and ballet class and she LOVES it! She is doing really well to she picks it up much faster then most the girls in her class.

This is her class practicing for the winter recital.
She is really going to miss her dance class and teacher while we're here in Lacey. But the school is really great when we move back she has a spot waiting for her.

Trick-or-Treat

So Halloween this year was really crazy for us we where moving all weekend, Logan had been sick Friday Thea was sick Saturday and I was sick Sunday. Friday we moved every out of the house to a storage unite and then Saturday some wonderful women from church came and helped me clean. Then Saturday night was the ward Trunk-or-Treat and Chile feed. Thea had been sick that morning but she really wanted to go to the Trunk-or-Treat and say Good By to her friends. We went it was really small because it was just our ward but the kids had a lot of fun.
The pic above is the best on I could get of all 3 kids Logan was so tired he was having none of it.

Donovan my little Viking. Corey and I where going to be vikings to but I ran out of time and energy to make them this year with every thing going on.

Logan and Thea where dragons super cute dragon.

Trunk-or-Treating.

I drove home from Kennewick late Saturday night, by the time I got to my Mom and Dads I was so sick, I hadn't planed on taking the kids out on Sunday but Super Grandma Bowles took Thea and Donovan out Trick or Treating around her house. They got so much candy. Logan didn't want to go he hasn't been doing well with all the changes he really doesn't want to be away from me not even to let me get dressed. But Thea and Donovan had alot of fun.

Changes

So for any body who doesn't know the kids and I are staying at Corey's Mom and Dad's house in Lacey for a few months to help us save up for a down payment on a house. Corey is still in the Tri Cities working and looking for a house for us. He is staying with a friends family and we're so very grateful for them and there kindness for letting him stay. And so grateful for family that loves us and lets our crazy kids live with them. We are trying to enjoy the time home with family and friends although it is and will be hard to be a single mama for a bit and we all MISS Corey sooooooo much. We are very hopeful that this is just for a short time and that the right house will find us soon!
