There is something about hangers that Brant just loves. He will pick them over his toys any day. Maybe I should just save myself some money and get him a 10 pack for Christmas. ha ha

Today was the 10th anniversary of September 11th when our country stood still. Our Middle Schoolers baked cookies and delivered them to area firestations to say Thank-you for rushing in to help while everyone else rushes out.

We went to the Germantown Festival with the Davis Family. It was such a beautiful day to walk around to all the different booths. This was the only picture I got. We were taking the shuttle to the festival.

Day 252: 9/9
Brant's first time to mow with daddy. He loved how loud the mower was.
He is such a happy boy when he is with his daddy! Poor kid doesn't stand a chance though. I am sure Andrew will have Mowing Class 101 for Brant. Andrew is so particular about his yard work. He has been taking his yards seriously since he was a young teenager and had his own lawn business! :) And I hope Brant grows up to be the exact same way! A hard working man just like his Dad!

I love decorating for fall. I was taking a picture of my favorite fall wreath and someone else wanted to be in the picture! :)

Labor Day Road trip to Saint Louis to see family. It was too short, I wish we could have been together longer.

I love yardsaling. I get that from my Granny. I found this at a garage sale and cleaned it up. They have some just like it at pottery barn, but I got mine for a much better price. Cha-ching!

Mommy got to have a girls night out tonight with Beth and Jenny while the kids hung out with their Daddies. We went to see The Help. It was so good. It's a movie I think everyone needs to see.

We are playing with a soccer ball because Brant wants to be like his Uncle Luke. we wish we could be watching him play this season. Luke has gotten to dress for Varsity a couple of times already. We are so proud of him.

My boys dreaming that Peyton will get to play this year for our COLTS!

I wasn't the only "bed head" that woke up this morning in the Raymond household. I hope he is not doomed with my hair.

Tonight we went to a cook-out with the young married class at church. It was lots of fun. For the first time I tried Dump Cake. Wow. Why hasn't someone told me about this before? Thanks to the Butlers I have the recipe now. So easy.

Moes with our Favorite Moes peeps! The Easons. It's so cute Meyers will holler back MOE'S when they say "Welcome to Moe's."

Shane & Shane at Ellendale Baptist. I am so there. It was such a great show because We were the 1st ones to hear their new album "the one you need." Andrew and I had such a nice time together. Brant stayed at home with Great Aunt Saunie and Great Grandmom.
