first day of pre-school, dr's appt., and happy birthday to my dad :)

First off, Happy Birthday to my Dad :) He's the big 4-6!! :) I don't think he'll mind me sharing that, he's still pretty young! He's a great dad and papaw too! Brycen thinks the world of his Papaw Rick, they are best buddies :) This is where Brycen gets his love for motorcycles at! My dad is already looking at little ones for him (are you kidding me?!) lol.

I had a really cute lion costume for Brycen that he picked out for halloween... but then we went to my parents and he took it off and decided he wanted to be a Harley Rider like Papaw Rick instead :) Thankfully, we were able to gear him up pretty quickly :)

Tuesday we had a busy day! It was Brycen's first day of preschool!!


He was so excited! He kept saying, "Now I'm a big boy!" He had a really good first day! I had to go to Evansville for my 10 wk check up at the OB's office. She said everything felt & looked normal and the heartrate was 187! It was very strong and loud and it made me so happy to hear it!! I also had a bunch of other stuff to do while I was in Evansville. I had to find Brycen a pair of brown dress pants and a cream colored shirt for a wedding he is in in three weeks. And an outfit for Pike Central's Homecoming b/c he is the ball carrier and that's in four weeks! He is going to be quite the busy little boy! I also wanted to find some maternity or at least bigger clothes, but I couldn't find ANYTHING! I don't know if I was being too picky or what! I found one pair of maternity jeans that were cute and fit at Old Navy. I also had to pick up Brycen some jeans somewhere b/c he has outgrown all his from last year! I found ALL the stuff I was looking for for him, plus some of course! haha. The outfit for homecoming is the cutest!! I love it! I made him try it on last night and he looked so stinkin' cute! Then I had to go sit at the Evansville BMV for an hour and a half. It was ridiculous!! But I had to get an "official" copy of Ryan's driving record for his interview, and you can only get it at Evansville or Indy. Plus, I ran by the Harley Davidson store to pick up my dad some stuff for his birthday!! I was wore out by the time I got home! Brycen was excited, b/c Ryan got to pick him up from his first day at Pre-School since I wasn't home in time. After I got home we had to go straight to Montgomery to can green beans at Ryan's parents. We got 28 quarts canned! I was pretty excited about that. I was so tired when we got home that night though!
Brycen w/ his Crayon Crown that he made on his 2nd day of preschool! He was so proud of it :)

Yesterday was my day off! I was so thankful for it! I missed my little booger while he was gone to pre-school, but I got sooo much accomplished at home! I dropped him off and went to Wal-Mart to get our stuff (i always dread walmart). And then I went and washed and swept out my vehicle. It was in need of it pretty badly! Then I went home and got to work on cleaning away! I have just been "spot cleaning" here and there when something needed it since I haven't felt like it at all, but yesterday I really got down and dirty! I felt so accomplished... and tired! I also fixed a big supper. Ryan was surprised to find that his wife seemed to be back when he got home from work! He was like "wow!" haha. I was glad he noticed things were looking better and that made me feel even better! I think I might of over done it a bit. This morning my back was killing me and my feet were a little swollen (oh no, not already!), but let me tell you, I slept GOOD last night! :)
