So we never got to do an Easter Egg hunt, but I had kept some eggs with candy in them from my mom for the boys and the weather was really good yesterday, so we decided to finally do it! I know, I'm a lame mom, right. Anyway, my mom came over so I went out and hid the eggs (as in just tossed them in random spots in the grass, cuz Jax is 1 and Mason can't even see things right in front of his face- he's not blind, he's just a typical male) Anyway the boys had lots of fun and Jax even managed to steal an egg out of Mason's bucket when he wasn't looking and put it in his own. It was quite funny. We are hopefully going to get our yard completely done within the next few weeks, if this stupid weather will finally let us. I'm so excited to finally get a yard and for summer!!

So we are currently in the process of refinancing our home and going down to a 15 year loan!! We are so excited to not have to pay so much interest anymore. It seriously sucks when pretty much your whole payment is going to interest. We also just got done painting Mason's room and it is so cute!! We painted the top 1/3 brown, then green chair rail, and below on the bottom 2/3 light blue with green stripes (on just one wall, the stripes). And we just built a wall to enclose our front room and make it into a play room or study with french doors and created an entry way and tiled it. We aren't completely finished with it yet. Mostly just painting left, but it has been a timely process.

New Job for Alex!!

So we just found out that Alex got the recruiting job he applied for, yay! So that means no more deploying. I am so excited! It's really not fun feeling like a single mom with two little boys and now he'll be home all the time. Well he does have to go to a conference once a year for a week, like in Hawaii or something and I can go with him, so isn't it great to be me!!

HALLOWEEN

So we had a lot of fun on Halloween. One of the things Mason was so excited about was giving candy to the trick or treaters. So we did that for the first part of the night and then we went trick or treating with some friends around our neighborhood. Alex was so cute. He took Mason and his little friend by their hands and took them up to all the doors. Even when the kids were done, Alex still wanted to trick or treat. He was such a good sport. After we went home we watched Van Helsing and made some ice cream shakes. It was fun.

I'm a blogger now!

So it's almost Halloween and we are so excited. Mason is going to be Bumblebee - the transformer and Jax is going to be a chicken. Usually I would think that was stupid, but he is so stinkin' cute in his costume. We just got back from Maine visiting Alex's family. It is so unbelievably beautiful there. Everything is either green, orange, yellow, or red right now. We had a really fun time. Mason was really excited to see his nonna and papa. He was so excited for the plane rides too. Well that's all for now. Bye
