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?!?!? :)

Happy birthday Danny !

Happy 11th birthday my sweet boy!


So very excited!!


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!!
Mommy and daddy love you to the moon and back!
