Anyone jealous ?!?!

Just what every family wants to see in their driveway!
Especially on the weekend :(



Yes we have sewer backup :(


Thankfully hubby has a shop vac!


Turns out the pipe just outside the foundation has sunk a good 4-6 inches. The plumber was amazed we have not had a backup in the almost 2 years we have been here.
We are now flushed out so we will not need to use buckets anymore today (the kids thought it was SO much fun!) but it means we need to take apart our front porch and dig up at least the first pipe. A neighbor stopped by with all the excitement to tell us the previous owners had issues ! Argh !!
Luckily it is not raining anymore so the kids are playing outside because the smell in the house is gagging :(

Anyone want to come over?!?!? :)

He got a newer iPod touch for his bday, so he can take pictures, FaceTime with mom and dad and text with us. He is in heaven!!

Love my boy!! He has been home over 9 years now and continues to amaze us. My momma heart grieves when he struggles so much, but he is growing up to be such an amazing boy and we love him so!!!

Happy birthday my sweet boy!!

Gerri's 2nd grade concert :)

Gerri's 2nd grade program was dedicated to all the families in the military, past and present.

She was SO excited about her dad being there to watch.

she is in the middle with the white shirt and blue pants

singing her heart out to God Bless America!

they did signs for this land is your land :)

She had a Great time!! She sang her little heart out :)
She is hard to see as she is in the front row and SO tiny, really shows how small she is compared to her classmates.

busy weekend!

Our checkup in Philly went well, no surprises - which is always a good thing!

I got to meet two of my families, which is always the BEST part!

 We go back in 6 months. Gerri was very excited to tell dr vB that she would see him when she was in 3rd grade :)

Friday was a very long day of travel.

We left Philly at 11:00 and did not get home till 7:30! second longest travel time ever :(

We hit traffic everywhere! it usually takes about 6 hours.

We got home in time to shove pizza down in our mouths and have dessert and spend some time with family while celebrating sweet Nicole's birthday!!

Saturday we were up early to stack wood!!

hubby getting everything ready for us :)

it was a family affair and it took 2 hours to stack 2 cords!!

 we celebrated by going out for chinese food for lunch :)

who doesn't love to draw on the driveway with chalk?

Lots of swinging and hanging around!!

had to swim as well!!

I love how well our kids play together! :)

Philly again!

No room at with Rmh, most hotels booked. Luckily Rmh has several hotels they have room deals with, so we are in center city at the Hilton doubletree and it is beautiful! It was a long hot ride here in a car with no working A/c :(
But we are resting comfortably now :) had an awesome meal in the lobby bistro, just did FaceTime with the family and chilling.
Here is the outside


In the lobby- it is mezmerizing











So worth every penny :)


We see the dr first thing in the am and hope to be in the road by 10!
