Mr. Austin sendin his Mom a message while with Daddy. Austin has such a big heart and always thinkin about everyone else before himself. Love ya buddy

Boys will be Boys!!

SO fun to watch these three run around and laugh and just have a good time together. I love having boys they always add some kind of excitement around here. The water is starting to slowly go down and we are so thankful for that. Sean had a fuel tank in front of the white shed. This morning we noticed it was gone and was found behind the white shed. We will definately have some cleanup of just debris when this is all said and done. The only bad thing is the current is a lot stronger today and you can see it is washing out the driveway for the second time this year.

Looking down the driveway from the highway. That was an interesting walk up the driveway. The current was strong enough to feel it pullin at your legs. I found out that mice can swim that grossed me out beyond belief.

I can already see what my boys will be doing today. If the waters not to cold I might just have to join them

Wordless Wednesday

Day in Sioux Falls

Brandi joined us for lunch at the Olive Garden.
Grace was so excited that she was able to meet us for lunch.

I will have to say these two can sure find trouble together. Brandi has watched Grace grow from a little baby in a carrier to this little girl with lots of character. We love ya Brandi thanks for being a part of our lives.

After spending a good hour at Toys R Us. She had so much fun looking at all the toys. Of course and a few melt downs when I told her she couldn't have everything she liked.I sure enjoyed the one on one time with Grace. She is going to be my little shopper that is for sure. Watch out Daddy this might get a little spendy :)

Grandma Town & Grace

Grandma got Grace a new back pack and the baby room for her Fisher Price doll house at toys r us. We sure enjoyed having my Mom there with us to share the special day. I pray Grace is close to my Mom like I was with my Grandma. I sure miss her and wish she was here to enjoy Miss Grace.

Happy 5th Birthday Miss Grace

It is so hard to believe that 5 years have gone by. She has been our little princess since the day we found out she was a girl. The last 5 years have gone by in just a blink of an eye. Before we know it she will be going to her first prom. She is my best friend and I love spending time with her. Like my Mom has said in the past what goes around comes around. She wasn't a kidding there, just the other day I was braiding her hair and she kept saying I want it tight Mom not like that tighter!! OMG it took all I could do not to laugh at my own mothers words cause I remember saying those exact words to her when she would braid my hair. Yikes is all I got to say!!!
