Daddy is back at work :(

Well, Dad is back at work! This is not his first day back he started back on Monday. He is not actually supposed to go back until the 4th but he is working now so he can take off more when Jack comes. The kids are definately missing their daddy. Austin walks around saying daddy and then I tell him he is at work and then he brings me the phone and says daddy. Then we have to call dad and say hi. They love to run to him when he gets home... I think it is their favorite part of the day!!! Today we decided that we would go up and bring Dad lunch. It was a lot of fun, here are some pictures.

This is a family picture Haley drew before we got dressed this morning. Baby Jack is in my arms, Austin and Haley are holding hands and Daddy has a heart above his head. Here it is close up. She spelt everything by herself except for Jack, she needed a little help.
Then she had to make a picture for just her Daddy.



It is her and dad holding hands, going outside to feed the dogs. (one of her favorite things to do with dad) The circles are the dog bowls.


Our picnic in dads office. Austin loved pushing all of the buttons on daddys computer.


Crazy Austin.

Haley wanrted a pizza lunchable instead of chick fil a so that is what she is eating .



Both the kids were very sad to leave daddy and they can't wait for him to get home later tonight.

Rain Camping!

The only words to describe Dustin, Haley, and Marcus is CRAZY! They left here about 12 to head for Winnsboro to camp for the night....with storms looming in the future and a flashflood watch in winnsboro. I brought these things to Dustins attention and all I kept hearing was "Oh, we'll be fine!" Well it turns out after 3 storms 6 inches of rain that Dustin was right they all came home fine...but poor Marcus i think slept in a puddle of water. Haley said that she had so much fun adn she loved that they got to see Nana and Papa, that made the camping trip even funner!Poor Marcus slept in water, got kicked by Haley all night, Haley lost 5 pieces of gum in the tent so I am sure one piece will wind up onMarcus' stuff... I am pretty sure Marcus will think twice about saying yes next time Dustin invites him to do something.

Nana and Papa thanks for letting the crazy people camp on your land!!!


Haley in the tent!

Good Friends and a Beautiful Day

We had a fun day with friends today. The Paynes, the Allens, and the Callaways came over to play outside. We brought out the water toys and ate some pizza and cookies. Here are all of the kiddos in our attempt of a group picture.
The big kids did great. Austin has to be bribed with a cookie, Halle was screaming to have her paci, and Reagan obviously didn't like the grass :)

Cooking Cookies at Mame and Pops

We decided to let both kiddos sleep over at Mamee and Pops house to give us one night without kids before Jack comes. So we dropped them off and sent a little activity for them to do together. Fairy shaped sugar cookies with paintable frosting and sprinkles!!! I am pretty sure that next time they spend the night we will be politely asked not to send any activities :) Here are the results! Haleys finished fairy cookies!
Austin drinking the watercolor frosting water! He is so special!


Taking her time to make sure it is perfect!

Haley dumping loads of pink sprinkles :)



Looks like little Austin did not spend much time decorating...in boy fashion he went straight to eating!!!

Shelves and curtain rod made out of old wood sanded and stained (by Dustin)






I hope he enjoys is new home!


Six Flags over Texas

Haley and Dustin left for Six Flags at about 5 this evening. The great thing about having a season pass is that you don't feel bad when you just go for a little while. They had a great time! When they got there at 6 it was raining a little so they had shut down the big rides so a lot of people were leaving which made it nice for them since they were only riding Haleys rides. The rode all of the rides Haley wanted to (multiple times), saw a show, at funnel cake and icees, bought a toy, watched the late night parade! The show they watched was 3d and if you know Haley then you know she has not watched anything like that since she was 2 and she freaked out at a 3d show at sea world. Dustin said that she was very scared at first but he kept having to tell her that she could tell Marcus (Natalies boyfriend) that sshe watched a 3d show about going to the moon. That is the only reason she watched it....just to tell Marcus!!!

Here is a picture of the glow in the dark parade. Dustin and Haley both said that it was very neat. This was at 9:45 at night! They ended up home at 11. Haley was still wind awake :) Haley watching the parade!

About to ride a ride




They both had a really great time. Austin and I had fun too at home. He built legos, ate an ice cream bar, pushed a baby doll around in a a stroller, and went to sleep :)
