August

Since Austin's baptism -it has been a blur! Really...again! I celebrated my 40th birthday! I survived. Our great friends Trish and Seth kept the boys while Tony and I went out to a really nice restaurant in Denton and had a great meal. We laughed and talked it was really a nice night out - just the two of us - we don't do it enough. Enough about me - Austin celebrated his 8 month birthday - he has two front bottom teeth - can sit and stand (while holding onto something) and is trying to take some steps around the coffee table. He still doesn't make many different sounds but hoping that comes soon. Loves almost everything I have feed him and wants to eat what we are eating! Super cute of course and usually in the best of moods. The week before school started Tony took the day off and we all went to Hurricane Harbor waterpark. Had a great time together - Austin enjoyed the lazy river and then the stroller for a nap! Anthony started Kindergarten - praying for a great school year. Labor Day weekend! We packed up and headed to Hot Springs, AR where we celebrate in style at Aunt Carol's wonderful house with the million dollar view! I counted 52 people but maybe more if I missed someone. We started getting together as a family when Anthony turned 1. With the problems we faced with Anthony's health and how well he did that first year with absolutely no problems at all and thank God still no problems to this day we just wanted to get everyone together so we could celebrate life! It has grown and grown every year and I believe this was the biggest yet - it's now a huge friends and family reunion! It was a blast and all the kids seemed to have a great time and all got along very well. Anthony's 6th birthday at school the teacher gave him some goodies and a hat - Austin and I went and had lunch with him and that night he had Karate lessons and his choice of dinner - McDonalds :(. This past saturday we had a few of Anthony's friends over and had a pokemon birthday party. Tony set up a huge homemade slip and slide - cooked hot dogs, chips, watermelon and cupcakes! All the boys had a great time between riding the 4wheeler - slip n slide - trampoline - and pool! Now for picture overload! And I think I'm caught up!
