It has been a quiet day, we didn't do a whole lot of anything, Curt is working today so the boys and I have been just hanging out and relaxing.
Hunter had his school pictures today and he said that he smiled "big and good" so I can't wait to see them! I still can't believe he is old enough for school!
Having a baking craving lately, so tonight after the kids are tucked in, chocolate cupcakes and a homemade apple pie are getting made... Mmm I can't wait.
Tomorrow after school I think we are taking a trip to Cedar Rapids or Des Moines to either look at stuff or get stuff to finish the new boat, which will be nice. I miss the little roadtrips :)
More later...

An inside day...
Good Morning!
We had our first illness of the year, Hunter decided to come down with the flu bug. He is feeling better today thank goodness. The poor little guy looked so pathetic last night and of course Ian didn't know what to think! He was mad because he couldn't come into the bathroom too & was a little lost that Bobo couldn't play with him!!
Today will be a busy day inside if I can get motivated... It looks too cold outside to go do anything, so it will be a laundry and cleaning kind of day.
Curt is at work until tonight, then in for his regular 24 hour shift tomorrow so the boys are getting shipped up to Grandma and Papa's house for a few hours! They can't wait!!!
Off to tackle the laundry monster...

Changes
As you can tell from the title of the blog, we have gone under a "family reconstruction".
Chad and I are getting a divorce, in June, the boys and I moved out. We spent some time living in Grundy Center (Thanks again Mom, Dad & Grandma) and have since moved to Marshalltown.
A new relationship has started, I starting seeing a wonderful guy by the name of Curt. He and I have been friends for awhile, we used to work together a few years ago & have re-connected. He works as a full time fire fighter/EMT with the Marshalltown Fire Department, which allows him to be home quite often. The boys absolutely adore him and they all get along great!! I'll probably let him take over a post so he can tell you more about himself... :-)
It has been a whirlwind summer for all of us and we have gone through some much needed changes, but everything has turned out for the better and we are all doing great.
I hope you will follow along and enjoy life with us on our journey as a new family!!

More pictures
The picture where you can see the house - the car was parked right next to the snow that is next to the house - right in front of the front door.
Fire Pictures
Here is the rundown... I get home from work, think I hear a car door - look outside nothing. Hear it again, still nothing. I hear a funny sound like a rotor - look at my car (which is parked in front of the front door, right next to the house), brake lights are flashing. First thought through my head was did I forget to turn my car off?? See smoke and flame, go into the bedroom. Here is the conversation...
Me - Chad. Chad. CHAD. HONEY. WAKE UP.
Chad - Mumbles
Me - I think there is something wrong with my car.
Chad - Why?
Me - Because it is on fire.
That is when Chad jumps out of bed and runs out to look at it. Should I call the fire department I say - He says no, he can handle it. I get the fire extinguisher - that doesn't work so I call 911 (a.k.a. MY WORK). After that frantic phone call, Chad and I try pushing the car away from the house. Try putting it in gear then pushing it away from the house. Chad gets the skidloader and SHOVES it away from the house. We go inside - tires start to blow - we get behind a wall. And wait. And wait. And Wait. FINALLY fire trucks come rolling in and eventually get the fire put out. From the time I called 911 to the time the fire department went on scene - 9 minutes. Not bad for it being 12:45 am and living 6 miles outside of town. And remember, this was a volunteer fire department - they had to wake up, get out of their house, go to the station, put their turnout gear on, and drive to my house. THANK YOU!!
There is a fuzzy picture at the bottom - Chad was in the process of moving it
The top picture - above the date is my rear drivers side tire
