Happy Birthday Avery

This morning started out with getting a little housework done and out of the way because we knew that the rest of the day was non-stop.
We headed to Avery's First Birthday party.  It was the cutest monkey theme I have ever seen.  I was working, but we had a great time.  I always like it when work and family time and time with friends all go hand in hand.  For more on Avery's birthday party watch the blog at www.monicaannephotography.com I will get to it one of these days!  I would not be me if I was not behind. 

After Avery's party we headed to the old house so Brandon could activate the flea bombs.  I am hoping it works, otherwise there is no way I can go back in there, they were so bad.  Time will tell.  He also grabbed a few more things.  I really need to get my scrapbooking stuff from there as soon as possible.  Maybe we will get it done soon so we can be completely done with the move, it sure would make life nice.

We headed home and got to work some more.  There is so much we need to do and it seems to be just passed over because of time.  If only there was a good way to get some more of that, or some more energy. 

Aunt B!!!

This morning we got up and headed to the lake to get the grill that we bought last year for the lake, it is still in the box and since we cannot get one for here right now this was the best way for us to have one now, and I love to grill especially in the fall. 
We headed to Home Depot to get some pine straw because Brandon has a lot he wants to do in the yard and since it is supposed to be a little cooler this weekend he figured it was as good of a time as any.
Then to the old house we had to get Brandon's grilling box and tools.  We were going to try to pack up a few other small things, but the house has been overtaken by fleas, which means next week I will have to set off a flea bomb or two so that I can get the rest of the stuff out of the office and so that Brandon and I can get to cleaning and have it ready to go on the market as soon as possible.
We headed home and Teresa met us here with some Chicken salad for Danny and Brandon.  She had to go run some errands for the shop and Danny went with her to help out.
While they were gone Brandon got started on the grill and John Michael used the styrafoam out of the box to make the ultimate race car track.  He has got an awesome imagination.

Danny came home with Aunt B, who is spending the night.  The boys are so glad that she is.  They love their Aunt B.  We all do, she is pretty awesome!
