Fall is almost here!

Fall is ALMOST here...and i have to say I am ready.
Summer was fun, but im definitely over the heat.  Cant wait till it starts to cool down and i can light up the fire place, use my crock pot for warmer meals, light my hazelnut and autumn scented candles and decorate.

But first to kick off the end of Summer i have a few things lined up and i am definitely excited!

First, the girls and I are hitting the road. Vegas, here we come! The countdown has been in effect for a while but effective Friday i will be sippin a cocktail poolside with my girls, shopping, strolling the strip, and hitting the club for some grown and sexy fun.  A much needed extended weekend get away. 

Next up, i have tickets to go to Fresh Fest in LA.  The line up consist of The Game, E-40, Mac 10, Twista, Young Buck, and other surprise guests.  Definitely a great end to the Summer.

I've also changed up my look for fall, i colored my hair...went darker.  When i get back from Vegas i'll probably go get my hair cut and have my layers trimmed and touched up.  Not too short though, i want to grow my hair out. Here's a pic:

Welp, thats it for now, gotta finish up some laundry and start packing so i can make sure not to forget anything.

Back to the routine

Summer vacation is officially over and we are officially back into the routine with the kids, school and work.  Though im sure Kaylen enjoys his Summer Break from school, im glad its over. Two and a half months off is a long time, lol. So...he's officially back in school for 5th grade and his last year of Elementary. I cant believe how quickly time goes by and how fast he has grown. This year I've made a promise to myself and him that I will try and be more involved and take part in the class field trips. I've never been able to because of work.  It hard to get time off to engage in these kinds of things, but its important to me to have that experience with him. 

                                                         His first day back to school =]

Justice is making progress with potty training...he's started to be more consistent with using the toilet on his own. He's very independent, has to do everything himself.  He's talking a lot more these days and definitely has a mind of his own. 

Some recent fun updates:

Cory's cousin China came out to visit from Detroit. It was nice to have her, she visited for a week and it was nice to finally meet her and hang out. 

Here are some other visitors that we've had this summer in the Austin household:

Grandaddy was a surprise visitor


  Aunt Sharon came by to hang out and BBQ

My sisters came to visit, each at different times...and brought my adorable nieces.

Melyssa came by with her hubby and hung out with us, we had a nice dinner and the kids got to play...above is a pic of Molly & Justice

My sis Shannan came by to visit us me and stayed the night...we tried Scrapbook but the kids weren't having it so we watched the Twilight Saga and a couple other movies...here's my niece Sophie (3 mos.)

Could update some more but it'll have to wait...the hubby is requesting my presence to watch a movie :]

Chao!
