Andrew's First Magazine Cover

Can you believe it? Andrew Young on the cover of Bass Master at the age of 3? Seriously, this was a Bass Pro Shops promotion that they had at the store in Tulsa, OK. We stopped there for two hours on our way back from meeting Memaw and Papaw in Fort Smith, AR. He did such a good job holding his hand out there for the pretend fish that they put in there for him! We got life jackets for our jet ski, turkey calls, a Hunter Dan turkey and tent, t-shirts, coozies, and oil for the jet ski...so easy to find things you need there.

My Handy Hubby!

I really got lucky in the marriage department. David brings a lot to the table when it comes to being able to fix things, install things, and put things together. He is a great painter, and he can easily handle almost any home project. Well, I have been wanting a king sized bed ever since I can remember. When I finally talked him into going to look at purchasing our new mattresses, they were much more expensive than I thought they would be. Anyway, David had this idea about taking an old door, refinishing it, staining it, and using it as our headboard. I thought he was just trying to be cheap because I wanted a bed frame to go with the new mattresses...anyway, here is the final product, and I could not be happier!!

Going to Nana's

Andrew adores having a reason to wear his back pack...I think for two reasons. One: Diego wears an orange rescue pack, and anything that Diego does is super cool. Two: The big kids at school wear them, and we love to look like a big kid! Anyway, Andrew selected all of his favorite toys that would fit into his back pack so that he could take them on his trip to Nana's house. I thought this was a super cute photo of him wearing his back pack. Notice he is giving me a thumbs up because he knows going to Nana's means constant entertainment and attention!

Show and Share - Letter "X"

Even though Andrew was absent from school on Friday, we still did our homework! The letter of the week was "X." I printed out an "X"-ray from a google search that I did. Andrew thought that the bones were from his hands. This was a hard letter...not many things start with "x."

Show and Share - Letter "W"

Mommy and Andrew had a rough start to the day this morning. Whenever I have to take Andrew to school, things just don't go my way. Andrew was pouty as you can see from this picture. Anyway, the letter of the week is "W." We are taking a small, seedless watermelon that Andrew plans to share with his classmates.

Show and Share - Letter "V"

The letter of the week is "V." Andrew is taking vegetable juice a.k.a. V-8. I will be so sad when we get to the end of the alphabet...we are getting close. He was so proud of his show and share item this morning. He wanted to hold it, and he would not let me take it and put it on his teacher's desk. He is such a good boy!!

Show and Share - Letter "U"

For Show and Share on Friday, Andrew will be taking this photo of him from our visit to the Sedgwick County Zoo. He will point out that he learned how to milk a cow by using the "u"dders. The letter "u" was hard as I could only think of "umbrella", and we wanted to be different, so we are going with "u"dder.

Sedgwick County Zoo

Andrew sitting inside the safari truck at the Lion exhibit. They had two brand new baby lion cubs there that were soooo cute.

It seems that everywhere we have been in the last two weeks has been a place where I forgot to take my camera!! Here are two cell phone pictures of Andrew at the zoo in Wichita from last weekend...not high quality, but still worth showing.

Young's Hunting the Country Video

David and friends have a yearly deer hunting trip here in Kansas with friends from Clarksdale...they also have a yearly turkey hunting trip here as well, but this video features the deer trip from last November (2008). In the video, Charles Merkel is featured after shooting a deer with Chism Craig assisting him in locating the deer. David does a great narration...he made this all by himself!

Birthday Pics

Here is a picture from the concert we went to in Salina...Rodney Atkins was awesome. He is now my new favorite singer to download. I want to see him again!!
