Birthday Boy

Austin celebrated his 2nd birthday on Saturday Oct. 13th. He had over 20 family members come and had a great time. He loved the attention :) Here's a picture of his b-day cake made with love by his mommy.

Here's his "cicle" has he calls it. A little big for him, but in a few months hopefully he can reach the peddles.Chris and I found him the other night playing in his room like this :) He got the new Tonka truck from Aunt Beth and Uncle Steven and loves to sit in it. He was piling all his toys on himself for ??? reason. Only a 2 year old would know.
Also, we have to find a new renter :( Our current one called me last night because she bought a house. Great move for her, but not for us. She was EXCELLENT (well at least for the 4 months she was renting from us). So now the hunt begins. She did give us plenty of notice so hopefully with a little advertisement we can find another renter as reponsible and clean as she is.

Birthday Month

I forgot to bring pictures to work to post but we've had a busy couple weeks. We went hunting/camping for one night. Austin and I were cold and bored so we went home early. Our group had a 50% success rate. My friend/cousin ended up shooting a 3 by 4 point. Great job Karrie! It was fun to have the Franklin family camp together for the first time since a long time. The temperature dipped down to 18 degrees and froze all the camp trailers. Thankfully nothing broke that we know of.

October is our family's Birthday Month. We celebrated my cousin Michelle's 27th b-day last night. Today is my Mothers. Saturday is Austin's & then my nephew and sister-in-laws is the week after. Chris' grandpa's is the 30th. For Austin's we are having a family feast Saturday night. I was hoping for nice weather so we could have a picnic outside, but the forecast does not look promising. We might all have to cram in our small house. All 15 adults and 6 kids :) Should be fun. I'll post pictures next week...hopefully. I plan to make a 3D car cake and apple crisp for dessert.
