Have I got a Deal for You!

So Haley has decided since we won't buy her a bike she would try to earn money to buy it herself.  She decided she would make books and sale them.  She decided to sell them a dollar a piece.   She asked me to advertise on the blog :)

Don't worry , if money is an option she said she would write some for free!

 

 Here she is making her sign!

 Her sign says "Buy Haley's Books for $1 a book! E-mail Haley if you want one at Haleyes1213@gmail.com "(the e-mail on the ad was wrong, oops)  At the bottom it says "Written and illustrated by Haley"

Camping

Dustin and I finally finished Jacks bed.  We wanted a rustic bed to go with his "cabin like" bedroom and we couldn't find anything we liked. So I designed the bed, Dustin made it (he definately had the harder job), then I stained and put the poly finish on. This picture doesn't do  it justice becuase you can't see the footboard!  Jack loves it and has no problem sleeping in it.

 2 crazy kids ready to go camping! They love their camping trips with dad.  This year it was Dustin, Haley, Austin, Marcus, Randy, Calista, and Drew. They had a blast!

 He was so excited to go! This was only his 2nd time to go!

 Jack and I enjoyed our time together!  We ate Tacos from Taco Casa, played outside, read books, built towers...so fun!

 I am hopeful that Austin was not driving that four wheeler and that he was just sittin gon it!  I will have to find out when Dustin gets home from his all guys camp out adventure!

 The camp site!

 Uncle Marcus fishing!

 Drew and Haley! Haley was so excited that Drew was able to come. Dustin said that Drew was a huge help at the camp site, you never would have guessed it was his first time camping.  He loved gathering the sticks for the fire!!!!

 Not sure why Austin is so far away...I am sure he and Haley were fighting :)

 Rise and Shine! Haley said they had the best breakfast of "eggs and doritos". She loved it!

 Haley riding her bike....and yes she does need a new one, it is so tiny! We told her for her birthday she could get one. She was not thrilled with that plan but dad says we need to save money :)

 Playing with 3d chalk from Auntie Pam!

 Dinner of spagetti!!!

The kids and I had a great time at home while daddy is off camping!  We do miss him though.  It will be nice to have all the familly together agian tomorrow!  Friday night the kids are super excited to be spending some time with Aunt Kim. When they heard Dustin and I talking about it last week they asked if we would just drop them off right then and leave them there until Friday.  We said no, we didn't think Aunt Kim would be up for a week of babysitting :)

Happy Birthday and more

Austin is three!  It seems like only yesterday we started trying to get pregnent with another sweet baby. It took a bit over three years to finaly get him but he was well worth the wait.  It took God a while to make him the special kid that he is.

 He loves cars, trucks...anything that makes lots of noise or can go fast.

He loves to camp.

He is still allergic to ants.

He hates people touching his ears.

He loves the number 2.

He LOVES all things blue.

Favorite movie is still CARS.

Favorite Show is Mickey Mouse Club House

He loves to learn crazy things from Uncle Marcus...even if Uncle Marcus didn't teach him he still blames it on Marcus.

He loves searching for Lucy the Lizard with Mame and Jack.

He loves to play games on the computer.

He loves to bother his sister and hates to share with his brother.

He is super sweet until he doesn't get a nap and he can be a stinker.

He loves to be with me. When I am gone he tells me "I was so worried about you mamma"

He loves building and tearing apart with dad.

He is so skinny and he looks just like his daddy did when he was a boy.

Sometimes we call him Lightning McAustin, Chicken Little, or Little Dustin. 

Austin loved his Cars apple juice before school on his birthday.

He really loved his new car bike he got when he got home from school.

Practicing riding.  It is a bit tricky because when you go backwards it makes the brakes go.  He is working hard though!

Haley practicing for JumpRope for heart! All by herself Haley raised a lot of money for heart disease research...thanks to all of her donaters. Also, Haley has learned to ride her bike with out training wheels.  Yeah!!

LOVE those freckles and blue eyes!!!

Austin requested birthday cookies, and we happened to have some cake so I put the candles in that!

Happy Birthday Austin and Carsyn!  Aunt Kim was so kind to host the kiddos tractor birthday.  They had a blast and in Aunt Kim style everything was absolutely perfect! She and Terry did a great job, we were so appreciative!!!

Date night for Daddy and Haley.  Daddy invited Haley to a play at his school! Haley wanted to get all dressed up!  They went to McDonalds then to the play. 

I LOVE this picture, however it also makes me very sad to look at it because she looks so old.  She is not a baby anymore. 

Both Dad and Haley had a great time!  Speaking of Dad's and daughters, Uncle Marcus will have 2 sweet little girls to go on date's with!  Addison and Avery will definately have their daddy wrapped around their finger.  We are all super excited for Natalie and Marcus!!!!

First day of school!!!! If you have talked to Austin lately you may have been wondering hummm what is he saying, is he speaking english???? Well, that is probably because he has delayed articulation just like Haley! It must be genetics, Haleys was worse but Austins is pretty bad.  So on his birthday he was tested to be a part of a speech program CHAT (COMMUNICATION HAPPENING AT 3). Of course he got in and started attending class 2 times a week.  He has the same teachers Haley had, and they are 2 good friends of mine, so we were very excited.

Here are his first day of school pictures!

He was very excited and loves it!  He now goes to Weekday school Tuesday and Thursday from 9-2:30 and Monday and Wednesday he goes to CHAT in the afternoon.  He has Friday's off!!! :)
