Latest Happenings!!

It has been forever since my last post and so I hope this does not end up being forever long. But it has been really crazy around here lately!!! I only have a few pictures to post since everywhere I go I never remember to grab my camera, but hopefully that will change sometime in the near future, because I bought a bigger purse!!!! Now I can carry more of the things I need, like a camera!!!
We had our annual church fall retreat and as usual it was a lot of fun. My parents did a wonderful job of getting things coordinated and everything turned out really nice. My Mom had gotten the idea to have a birthday party for everyone. She had the tables decorated for each month of the year and you had to sit at the table that was decorated for the month you were born in. She had Cathy Bailey make the B-day cake and she had party favors, and if you wanted you could participate in a cheap gift exchange. I think everyone had fun, and here is a picture of the cake. Emilee playing with the gift she received.

I think Austin is trying to get a piece of the cake.

The past 2 years I have let the kids dress up and then go to the few houses around us. It usually ends up being 3 or 4 houses. They do not get tons of candy, and that is the way I like it. This year Emilee was a cute little frog.

And here is my little pumpkin. He actually left the hat alone for the most part. They had a lot of fun as you can tell!!!

Lately Emilee has become even more of a little Mommy. I know that I am going to have tons of fun when this baby comes, but I took them to get their Flu shots, and as we were standing in the line Emilee would tell Austin if he was going to far out in the hallway and when he should not do this and that. I happened to here her say "Come here you little Austin" I looked down and she had him in her arm kissing his head and telling him that she loved him. I was loving it, they were actually getting along good for a few seconds. I am finding out all too quickly what my poor Mom went through. She would ask us to please quit arguing, and I find myself saying the same thing all the time.

Austin is my little clown. My mom keeps telling me that he is going to be a clown and I could not agree more. Everything he does and says usually confirms our thoughts. He definitely keeps life interesting!!! Even though there is never a dull moment aound this home, I could not be happier with the family that God has blessed us with.
