The Beginning of July 09

Well, I am behind in my posting (imagine that)! The month started off with my sweet husband's 30th birthday and his big party. Pictures and a detailed post to follow as soon as I edit, delete, and organize his bday pics!
The boys had their pictures taken back in June (Logan's 2 yr picture and Austin's 6 month - taken at 7month picture)-they were finally ready to be picked up. My mom also purchased Logan's 6th month baby parts (9pictures) as well as Austin's 6 month baby parts they were matted and framed beautifully. I will take a picture of them. Incredible. Thank you Mom! Mom says "they will only be little for a short time and you must have nice pictures of them." She is great.

****I tried to upload scanned pictures and they wouldn't upload - anyone ever try to upload scanned pics?

We took the boys to Lake Lanier Water Park last weekend and met Brian's parents up there. Of course our two fish LOVED the water and when we left they were sleepy!






My great dad, took my mom to Key West last weekend (he had her bags packed and tickets waiting when she got home from working out - he is a great guy)! So we had my brother's over last weekend. Saturday I took Logan and Austin garage sailing with Kevin and Amy. Then that night I had Mike, Kevin, Amy, and their friend Justin over to watch the UFC fight. Sunday after LLI we came home and had Mike, Kevin, Amy, Julie, and Ryan over for a cookout (hot dogs, mac n cheese, baked beans) - it was fun. Logan and Austin LOVE their uncles and aunts!

We bought some office furniture and are having the bonus room painted. I am thinking about tutoring in the fall a few hours a week. Some extra money would be great to put away. I am going to get a flyer out to schools and see what happens. Oh I have also been selling items on Ebay! Things we don't need or use. So far I have made 200.00 and I went to a gold party this week and brought some old, old jewelry that was broken or outdated. I thought I would get like maybe 10.00 - I made 102.00! It was so exciting! So we are using that money towards having someone paint the bonus room:)!

Our flowers look great (thanks mom and mom-in-law) due to all the rain! Logan wanted to wear his rain gear (thanks Kisgen family) when it was raining last week and go outside. He looked soooo cute!



Logan and Austin are playing more and more together everyday; they crawl chasing each other, Logan makes Austin dance, he tells the baby what to do, tells me what the baby is doing, hops in Austin's crib in the morning and after nap time to sit and talk to him and play until I get Austin out. Logan has such a GREAT imagination. He held up a tortilla chip, started running and said "Look mommy I am flying a kite!" Then he took his dad's level (not sure why that was in his reach)and put it between his legs and said "giddy up, giddy up" as he galloped through the house. He sings songs: Row, Row, Your Boat, Old McDonald (says the eieio and animal noises, Beyonce's "Put a Ring On It" - he sings the "uh uh oh" part - so funny and lots of other songs. Dancing is a family favorite, oh how we love to dance and laugh. I love my family. Some days I need to escape for a few minutes of mommy time but I am constantly reminded of how blessed I am.
Here are some pictures from today. Logan put my purple panties around Austin and put some toys in our new ottoman - that is not a toy box. They are busy, after rearranging toys, I found them in Logan's room with Logan saying "Baby look at the books" with about 20 books surrounding them, Logan hopped in our new ottoman that has a place for storage and tried to pull Austin in at one point yelling "get in baby!" Austin tried some dog food, Logan made me chase him to dress him, Austin played in the dogs water, Logan said "damn it baby" after I said it when I burned myself with the iron. That was all before 10am - two boys 2 and 9 months = Craziness, but I wouldn't trade it for anything.
