what a week it has been...

Well to start off, school started back last Wednesday. Austin Lee went into the 6th grade, I just can not believe I have a 6th grader!!! yikes. And Landon started 1st grade, so far school is great for them, Austin Lee likes all his teachers and Landon loves his. Last year Landon had problems keeping his mouth shut (he gets that from his daddy) so I was afraid of what this year holds, and what did he come home with yesterday? yes, a yellow light... for what? TALKING.. he is a mess. I will post pictures of there first day later on.

Ok so another thing that has been going on. Scott and I have for many many years now wanted his son Austin Todd to come live with us, but we could never talk his ex-wife into it. Austin Todd turned 12 in July, so we knew now was the time to jump at the chance. We hired a lawyer... wow they are high, and we got the papers drawn up. We had court this past Thursday it was a very long and drawn out deal, we were there allllll day. I had to actually get on the stand (which ive never done) I was soooo scared!!!!!! They did question Austin Todd, which I didnt like, but the judge wanted to hear him out. So finally 3pm comes and the judge says she didnt realize that this case was going to be hard my heart melted... she wasnt making her mind up that day. However she did say it was in the childs best interest to remain with his father until she makes her decision, which will be tomorrow. So we've talked to him and explained to him that he may have to go back. The thought breaks my heart but Im trying to keep an open mind and tell myself "he might have to go back". We feel really good about it, but i want everyone to say a prayer tonight for us, we will know tomorrow!!!! Im hoping for the best. There is just so much stuff that goes on where he lives and it worries us sick!!! I will let you all know something tomorrow... REMEMBER PRAY!!!!!!

July 4th

July 4th
Here is Logan on the 4th of July, he was the only child we had that night, so we didnt do too many firecrackers, he stuck to sparklers and poppers bless his heart, the others scared him. I didnt realize how much firecrackers cost... wow... but he had a good time and we did too watching our friends kids madalyn and dillion do their fireworks. It was a nice relaxing night.

Happy Birthday Logan!!!

Happy Birthday Logan!!!
Yes, I know I'm late with this... but my baby Logan is 4 years old!!! :-) We had a party for Landon and Logan at the same time being that their birthdays are only 4 days apart... it was fun, we had a good time, it was a swimming party and well a hot tub party I guess, the kids stayed in the hot tub alot too.. more pictures to come, yes people, i dropped my camera and its broken... the one Scott just got me, remember, he dropped mine at Christmas and broke it and now my new one is broken. So Tracy if you have any pictures send them to me!!!!


Austin and Mrs. Smith... she is wonderful!!!!

Happy Birthday to Scott!!!!

Happy Birthday to Scott!!!!
Yes, my hubby will be 37 tomorrow, I joke with him, cause its sooooo close to the big 40!! wow. But since his birthday fell on Easter, we dont have anything planned for this weekend, other than hunting eggs with the kids (which i love doing that). But last weekend we were able to get away and go out of town and eat with our friends sarah and jon, last weekend was sarahs birthday... :-).... but we had a good time, Scotts mom kept Landon and Logan over night for us, so that was a much needed break, we had fun. as you can tell Scott was a good sport about trying on "birthday hats" for us...

awww this is where I found Landon and our cat Rico... taking a cat nap!!!!
