My FIRST (and hopefully last) 911 call....

As if having 2 birthdays and trying to sell our house wasn't enough for me to deal with (and kids with the flu and 24 hr throw-up bug) this month.....my sweet lil' William decided to start throwing temper tantrums.

And last Tuesday while Audrey was home sick, William was mad at me for not letting him go outside and so he went over to the stairs and grabbed the railings while screaming and crying. I told him we could play toys together, then sat down on the couch and waited for hime to "get over it."

He stopped crying, and when I turned to look at him, his head was stuck between the rails and he then started wimpering "Ma-ma, hep".....

I could not for the life of me get his head un-stuck....so I had to call 911! And what do you know....when ALL the rescue vehicles arrived, a big, burly man walked in and smiled and then proceeded to bend back the railings and pull Williams head out like it was NO BIG DEAL!!!

I'm so grateful for 911 and the men and women who come at a moments notice to help!!!

And sooooo, I told Gene on the phone what happened and he said..."Did you get a picture?" NOOOOOOOO I didn't! :) So sorry there is no picture to accompany my first 911 story! lol!

Happy Birthday Audrey! ...the BIG 8!!!

Audrey had her first friend party this year!! And she had it at the skating rink with all of her school friends....even her teacher Miss K. came...lucky! :) She got A LOT of gifts and was kind of overwhelmed by that...but THRILLED...to say the least!








Audrey skating with her teacher and classmates. I have to say that this was Audrey's first time ever skating...and you would have never known! She must have gotten some of Grandmommy Broadhurst's genes!


Austin with his friend from church Brandon Brock


Daddy and William skating....William was a HANDFULL at the skating rink...he wanted to be out on the skating rink floor running around the entire time...he wore us out!

Happy Birthday Austin...the BIG 11!!

Austin's birthday morning....he opened his presents first thing since we were having a family party this year! :)
