My last few days before work

I start work again on Monday and I'm very nervous that I will be assigned to schools in north city. I hate that I have gotten so little done around the house. Even as I type this, I know I should be doing something else. But alas, I sit on my butt and do nothing. Today I am going to lunch with mom. Sometime this weekend, Krista and I are going to make cupcakes from stratch. Very excited to try!

Also, I hope to post some of Austin's baseball pics from this season soon.

Branson

So, a little late in posting this as we have been back for a while, but here is a summary of the trip. Mom, dad, Austin and myself headed down to Branson for a five day trip. The ride down wasn't terrible this year (no massive arguments, which is good because I had a fairly mean headache for most of the way). However, the bitching did start once we were down there. Between dad and Austin, I thought I may have a heart attack. The condo we stayed at was nice. (had a two person hot tub which was great) But I think I still like stormy point a little better. Anyway, we saw Dixie Stampede (I always enjoy it!), the Haygoods (a musical family), and Yakov dinner adventure. All enjoyable events. We also went to Silver Dollar City (one of my favorite things to do) and of course outlet shopping. This time, Austin wasn't nearly as whiny as I think he is starting to enjoy getting to pick out his own clothes. And, his taste isn't as bad as I thought it was. When skelatons are not a choice, he picks out some very handsome things. I was so proud in the Hilfiger outlet store, unfortunately, the shirts he picked out were for men so we could not purchase them. The trip home wasn't bad either because I think everyone was ready to be home so there was minimal arguing.
