Okay,  So I've learned through the comments that I missed a few addressees on the e-vite! So, I think I've gotten them resent to everyone I missed - if not, then I must have addresses wrong or simply don't want you to come and figure you should get the hint. Just kidding, I was gonna try to put a link on here, but can't get it to work (an e-vite problem, not a blog problem)- which may be good, cause I think that would make it accessible to any yahoo reading this and I think anybody on the internet could read this, right? People just can't post unless invited? I can't remember how this works, anyway - I've just suddenly panicked and thought that if it is a situation where anyone could stumble across this blog and read our stuff then maybe I should pay more attention to what I'm saying? Some of you "blog savvy" people let me know what the status is on that.  

So, with that said  I'll continue to fill in all you "yahoos" on what's happenning. We are gonna spend the weekend trying to clean up the yard and stuff - having the boys help stain the deck.  We lost our trampoline in the bad storm a couple weeks back when the tornadoes were around. though none touched down here, we did have bad storms.  Happenned when Todd was in south Bend with the boys for a ball tournament and I stayed here with Wyatt cause he had commitments. It was about 12:30 AM when I realized the trampoline wasn't where it was supposed to be - and so I was out in the rain  by myself trying to wrestle it off of one of our willow trees!  It had blown across the yard and came to rest on it's side and wrapped around our tree. All I could think of was how much Todd had been against the darn thing and now here it was laying on top of his favorite tree! I felt like one of those moms you hear about that have the car on top of a baby and suddenly get this super human strength and lift the car - all I could think of was "gotta save the willow tree!" I honestly don't know how I did it, but after wrestling with it for half an hour I finally got it off the tree and upright. Spent the next day on a heating pad. I think the tree will make it (still bent , but it didn't break!), but the trampoline was too messed up to be safe anymore.  Surprisingly, Todd is up for getting a new one - he saw how much the boys loved it and how it got them all outside playing so much.  It's actually not too bad of timing, we'll wait to replace it till after our big party because I'd been worried about how we'd keep kids under control on it anyway - the moon bounce usually doesn't give us any worries, but a trampoline could have given us more headaches I'm sure.  

Our neighbor across the street is back in the news for "just white collar crime" (as he puts it)  - we're taken odds on wether he'll go to jail or not, he's a slippery one, and this wouldn't be the first time he's gotten off! But the house is on the market (yay - we've all been wanting a sign in the yard since they moved in!), though with the market how it is I guess we can't get too excited that they'll move really soon. It makes for interesting talk in the 'hood though - it cracks me up - he's still walking around like he's all that and a bag of chips (like we haven't seen the newspaper or the TV and know what's going on, duh!) and she's saying they're selling to move to Arizona for his work (what work?!) and their kids didn't even know they were moving (guess the sign in the yard wasn't a clue?) Can't wait to see  how this all ends - how's that for a "posting"?!
