Bye Bye Jeep

Well, I sold the Jeep today. Wouldn't ya know, the driver was uninsured so I took the insurance to pay off most of the Jeep, called the uninsured driver and he agreed to pay my deductible, and called an auto broker who has a body shop and sold it today. So, it all turned out OK, just that I own no vehicle now. My mother has a car that I can use and I may end up buying it from her, but not sure. It has a lot of miles on it.
The boys are great. Austin is getting bored and is actually ready for school to start! Cameron is just full of himself all the time. I have 2 days of workshops tomorrow and Monday then start the 18th. The kids start the 25th. We're looking forward to tax-free weekend shopping! Austin needs new shoes AGAIN! His feet are growing so fast that I told him we were going to the local thrift store to get shoes. He didn't like that thought at all. We did go to one recently and I told him that it's a good place to get name brand stuff real cheap! It's just like a yard sale. He was embarassed that we even walked in to the store! So, I guess I'll only save $ on mine and Cameron's new wardrobes because Austin just wouldn't dare wear anything from there! I told him that a lot of his clothes he wore when he was younger were from yard sales and it didn't hurt him at all!
Summer is growing much shorter, but the days keep getting hotter and hotter. I think we've had 26 straight days of over 100 degrees! I am going to try someday and put a video on here, but haven't learned how to upload onto youtube yet. I'll work on that. Later.

About Me

Austin is my oldest son. He loves most sports with a ball (especially baseball and football), used to take taekwondo, used to play the piano (when forced to practice), now plays the trombone,and is a very good chess player. I could go on and on here, but needless to say, I'm pretty proud of all his accomplishments. If this is what he does now, I can't wait to see what his future holds! My younger son is Cameron. He's 4 going on 30. His life is full of admiring his older brother, trying to be just like him, but also pestering him just as Austin pesters him. Cameron loves to eat and never misses a meal. He is into trains, trucks, just about any vehicle that he can "drive" or push as fast as he can go, likes to watch Little Einsteins, Barney, Spiderman, Stuart Little, and has now joined the Harry Potter club. He is also trying to see how far he can push my buttons. I think that is a normal 4 year old thing, maybe???
