Red Dirt Diaries

Well I know it has been awhile since I updated but things have been crazy around our place and at work..

Dad helped me create a website for the pictures I can take on my phone so be sure to check it out http://www.heathersmobil.blogspot.com/ Thanks Dad!!

Let's see, knock on wood no calls from the principal on Andrew thus far. I have at least one picture on his first day of school before we left for school that day..He seems to be liking his teacher and his class. He was a little upset at first b/c his friend Jackson had moved to another school over the summer but he was fine once he got to know some of the new kids and a couple of the old ones from last year. It sounds like he is enjoying all the activities that they are doing through out the day. He seems to be telling us a little more each day. We have started a deal with him he must tell us two things that he did at school each day whether he liked them or he did not like them...Seems to be working...They have picture day tomorrow. He has already sold his stuff this year for the fundraiser..They had grandparents day last Friday and he had both sets of grandparents show up he was excited. If you check out dad's website you will see pictures. He is already busy making up his list for Christmas this year hard to believe that is already getting close..

Maddie is just going and going...She will talk your ear off about anything and she is like a mocking bird right now or as her brother says a copy cat...I take her to get her shots tomorrow so she will not be happy with me...

The kids and I went to Walmart on Saturday and they picked out their costumes for Halloween. Andrew is going to be a pirate and Madison is going to be Tinkerbell...

Paul is teaching in house a new rookie this week and then next weekend he goes to Edmond for three days for his SCUBA certification class, he is very excited about that. He has been busy with work and then working on his days off he is working the votech some and then football season for the high school has started...We head to Eureka Springs the first of October and are excited about that. Paul is hoping that he is certified by then so he can SCUBA Beaver lake, I would like to try it but not sure I can do so we will start with just seeing if I can snorkel first the dive guy told Paul.

Last weekend we went to Austin Hooten's Cowboy party and had a blast, good food and fun watching the kiddos play games and ride the horses..I have pictures of my two riding the horses on my photo page, check them out..

We had a fish fry last night for the general he is getting ready to go over to Iraq. It was good food and a good time...Lots of fried fish, beer bread and Tawni's cake..Even Uncle Bud made it to sit and BS with around the table with the guys..And we took some group pictures which when they get them will try to post them.

We got to see Jon and Dylan this weekend they were all down for a wedding and the girls were getting ready on Saturday so missed Randi and Kaitlyn but maybe we will see them soon for Jon's bday. Also got to see Uncle Jake and Aunt Trish and Granma and Granpa..

That's about it for now I am sure I have forgotten something...Until next time..
