DirecTV

So today was a lot of hurry up and wait.  We got up and took a load of boxes to the new house.  We have a lot to get done and while we will have time I do not want to live out of boxes.  DirecTV was scheduled to be at the house between 8 and 12.  I love the moving services that they offer.
While we were waiting Brandon and Nick hung the ceiling fans in all of the bedrooms and the family room and game room.  We decided to go buy those ourselves instead of paying DR Horton $250 for $75 fans.  It works because ours were not much more than $75 and are so much nicer than the ones that they install.  I just did not want to motgage fans, that did not seem like the smartest of moves.
DirecTV got here and then Hell broke lose.  The technician was wonderful.  He had work orders that were not at all what I had discussed with the moving department.  Anyway, I ended up on the phone with DirecTV for over three hours.  The woman in customer retention was wonderful and is the only reason that we are still with DirecTV, because I was about to just be done with them.  Glad that we got it all taken care of.  We now have the whole home DVR which is pretty dang cool.

I took the boys down to the pool. I needed to cool off and they needed to get some energy out.  We had a great time and are looking forward to spending a lot of time there.  They were excited to see Kiersten and Elliott swimming.  They all seemed to have a really good time, and of course none of them wanted to leave. 

T is for Tornado

Fridays are always a lot of fun and always super busy. With Brandon being off most Fridays we try to get a lot squeezed into one day.

Today was show and tell and they were supposed to bring something that started or ended with the letter T. John Michael chose to take Tornado his beanie baby horse. He said that everyone really liked him, especially his name. I am so glad that they have to think about what they bring instead of just grabbing whatever. It is great for John Michael.

We thought that DirecTV was coming today, but we later realized it is next Friday. Now it is not going to happen until October. There is always a better way to get things done and while we have to wait a little longer to get them out here, this way should save us a little money, not much but $3 is $3. It will also save us a lot of hassle, which is always a positive in my books.

I had a shoot with a month old baby this morning. Avery, and she is precious. I hope to do more pictures with her as she is absolutely adorable. Like most babies she was not a fan of the tutu, but we were able to get some super cute pictures.

Tonight we went to Brittany's soccer game. They were playing at Clay so we were glad to get by there. She did really good and the boys, especially John Michael, thought that it was cool to watch Aunt B play soccer. Unfortunately they did not win, but they played good and I was glad that she was out on the field. After her game she played a little with the boys, which is always a treat for them. Hopefully we can start getting together more with Aunt B.

Danny is starting to sell boyscut popcorn for the cubscouts!

Well, I am working on pictures and homework and probably not too long for bed. I am tired. Know that you are all in my prayers. I hope that everyone makes memories this weekend.
