Hurricane a coming?

Well we have lived in Louisiana for almost 2 1/2 years now and have not seen or been through a hurricane. We've managed to see a few rain storms, have our yard flooded but thats it. As of now it looks like we may indeed get to go through a hurricane and his name his Gustav. Not sure what to expect.....but where told LOTS of wind and rain and most likely will loose power. The boys have Monday off for Labor Day and the school cancelled school on Tuesday.

Its kind of scarey not knowing what to expect. I went to the store and we bought plenty of water, canned foods, toilet paper, diapers and candles. Its better to be prepared than not at all. I have my fingers crossed that its just a little hurricane.

Kindergarten Blues :(

Thursday was Tylers first offical day of Kindergarten. He of course was so excited and even up that morning before anyone else. I on the other hand didnt sleep great and woke up crying and sad. I of course am not sad he going to school but more for the fact that hes growing up and I am going to miss having him at home. When I took him that morning he looked so happy and of course told me that he would be fine. Later that afternoon on his arrival home he let me know he had the best day ever and couldnt wait to go again.

Heres a few pictures of that morning.

Look at that smile.

Summer Vacation is Over :(

Sadly summer vacation is over. It seems like Joshua just went on summer break back in May. Here we are again in August with school starting again but not only do we have one child going to school we now have two. Joshua is now in the 2nd grade and now our other little boy is now in kindergarten. This week was busy for us. Thursday we had kindergaten orientation, followed by meeting the teacher. I am very happy with Tylers teacher and I hope he has a great year with her. Joshua started school Friday morning and his teacher also seems very nice. We got up this morning and went and registered both boys in soccer, which we are very excited about. Monday I am taking Tyler to his kindergarten evaluation and he offically starts school on Thursday. I have no idea what Emily and I are going to do with out both of the boys here all day.

Our beautiful Kittys

Bailey is our little boy kitty. He is the biggest cat I have ever seen. Bella is our little girl kitty. She is super tiny compared to her brother.

Bella's picture is first and then Bailey's picture.

Joshua & Emily

Joshua and Emily playing in yard, having fun.

She does smile for the camera

Emily is 19 months old and I have taken over 1000 pictures of her and we hardly ever get a smile. She is a very serious picture taker BUT I was able to capture these very rare pictures the other night. Look at that smile!!
