We had a big party for them is weekend and it was a lot of fun. Travis' grandparents came in from California on Friday and will go home Wednesday. We have had a good time just getting to see them with the boys.

Elsie's Movie Review.

A couple weeks ago my husband and I got to go see an adult movie. I let him choose and he picked Fireproof. I didn't know a lot about it, but I was just excited that it wasn't a kid movie. It is made by the same people who made Facing the Giants and that is a movie I like. There were parts of the movie that I laughed, that I cried, and that just made me think. He did such a good job at his pick I am now recamending it to all of you. Here is a trailer...

No power!

Our power went out on Sunday at 3:15pm and came back on at 9:45pm on Wednesday. This was all from Ike. We lost all our food and our roof needs to be done now. On the up side I had fun coming up with Things to make on the grill. The boys an I played a lot of games. And I learned to make a fire in the fireplace. So here are some photos of all the fun we had.

No more diapers for me.

As you all know Gavin just tared 2 on August 31 and this week he has told us no more diapers. That is good but it is a lot of work as you all know when boys are learning to go to the potty you are in the bathroom ALL the time. In the last 3 days we have only had one accident and we were at the mall playing and he told me he had to go but I could not get him there in time. So tonight at bed time he had to go potty it was the #2 so we needed a book. I was in the bathroom with him for about 15min and then Tylar came in to help me read. I want out and when I came back in I heard Tylar telling Gavin that all good books end in amen. So I will lave you with

some potty photos.

Look at us now.

We have come a long way in the last 6 years. We have had our ups and downs but now that I look back I am so happy that God knew what he was doing. There were at lot of days that I can remeber praying and thinking that he did not hear me. I don't know if it is that I am older or that I have grown more in my faith but now I can see that he heard my every prayer. I love my life and I thank God every day.

Help from the boys.

They did a good job. Would you like them to do yours?

The boys first Day of school..

Christian and Tylar had a great first day of school. They were so happy to go to school that they got up at 645 (most of the time they get up at 8) I also did good this year, last year I cried. So #1 is a photo of the boys who got to go to school. #2 is a photo of the boys who wanted to go to school. And #3 is the one that did not get to go, so he cried all the way home.

Gavin's Birth Day party.

We had a good time. It was the first time that we could have a party at our home. We had 53 Friends and family that come to see little Gavin on is big day. It was all good but Gavin was not feeling good and at the and he got sick. Not the way we hoped it would be but we all had a good time.

Happy b-day Gavin.

Our little Gavin is 2. He is getting so big so fast. Gavin has a way to make a bad day in to a good day. I love to see how he is growing more and more every day but is also sad. He likes to try to did every thing that the big boys do. Gavin we all love you.

SORRY we have been on vacation. I will stare with telling you about the week before our vacation. Travis' uncle came in town for work so we got to see him. The boys had a good time with him and he taught them a new thing. Can you guess what it was? It was how to put their finger in their nose. Now you can see why my boys love him (and we love him to), he is a cool uncle. Here is a photo of Christian and uncle Micah.
We had a lot going on this week. One of the big things is that Christian got his ear pierced, Yes I only said Christian. Tylar did not want his ear pierced. This made Dad and I happy because it is one of the first things that they have done different. Here is a photo of Christian's ear.

The boys also had there first hot dog and kool-aid sale. They did a good job and made $30.
Gavin helped also. He would get the hot dogs and run and eat them! I have a lot more going on but I need to go to bed so I will put more on soon.
