Andy goes to Austin

Andy goes to AUSTIN!!, not to Austin, Tx, but to

Austin Jackson.

Ragedy Andy that is.

Nana made this for Austin for his 2nd birthday. It is almost a replica of him, with bright eyes, and crazy red hair. Aus loves him and takes him most places he goes. Thanks nana for making him such a special present. HE loves it!!!

EVERYONE LOVES ANDY!!

NO SHAME!!!

When we came back to the front yard
from mowing the back, this is what
we saw.....


Heath, standing on the truck, no pants, singing, shakin' it, squirting water. What else could you need, some shame maybe? He does come from a mom who loves show tunes, and shakin it.

Half painted front door

Stuffy nose, fighting kids, stray mean dog in backyard, cell disconnected, full dishwasher, spaghetti stuck to floor, bathroom light burned out, no milk, library books overdue, front door only half painted.

But, beautiful weather, visit from old friend, new episode Miami Ink, Sonny home early, home dinner date with husband alone in the middle of the week, comfy pants on at 5:30 p.m., unexpected choc pie from home teachers, lite whip cream on hand to go on top.

LIFE IS SWEET!!!!!!

2 CUTE

AUSTIN TURNS 2 TODAY!! It is hard to believe our baby Aus is turning 2. He is such a charming little boy, full of spirit, a sense of adventure and sweet, sweet, sweet!! He loves to play outside, be with his family and EAT!!! People are attracted to his fire red hair and awesome dimples. He is one of our greatest blessings. We are having a great time watching him turn into a little boy.

HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY AUS!!!!

MY LADDER DAY SAINTS

Here is the giganta hole in the ceiling, from the glamorous leak in the upstairs master bath. It has been there for one month now, but everyone knows the hole in the wall places are always the best. Plus the look is way chic!!! Here are my ladder day saints that showed up to help with the situation.

How do I always get the cutest crew??!!

BOOK WORM!!

Heath brought home his first kindergarten readers yesterday. They are books his teacher has chosen for each student based on the sight words they have mastered. They bring them home every night, so they can practice the words and reading out loud with us. It was so fun to see Heath so excited to read to us. He sounds out the letters and sounds and gets so excited when he masters a word. We are having a blast watching our little guy learn to read. He brought home 4 books, THE FALL, THE PARTY, PET DAY AND SILLY SANDWICH.

We have ourselves a BOOK WORM and we are so excited about the gift of reading.

He loves it!! GO Heath.

CLEAN UP CREW!!!

The clean up crew arrived right on schedule, more monkeys than muscle. They were the motliest crew, but they sure were cute. I had fun flirting with the (TALL) red head. There is just something about a husband doing manual labor, muscular arms, a wheelbarrow and cutie pies having fun!!!!!

HURRICATION

We opened our door to this, after the winds stopped
The house after the storm
The huge limb from our nicest oak tree

We survived our HURRICATION, mostly hurricane with a little vacation. No power, almost survivorish. We are 3 weeks post IKE and doing great. The neighborhood is getting cleaned up and people on with their lives, kids back to school. It seems as if september just passed us over. Here are some of the pics for the fam and friends out of state, to see what it looked like. We love you and appreciate all of the prayers, help and support.
