A work still in progress...

We are still trying to finish the Mustang. But just to let everyone know, I won the battle on the paint color. Red metallic!!

Let's get caught up...

The first day of school

Lexie is now in 2nd grade and Braden started K-4 @ HES.

I guess...

I just realized that I haven't shared anything that has really happened to us over the summer. Let me take you back to May. I got pink-slipped at HES, which was an emotional blow. I totally wasn't expecting that. It made for a really stressful summer...we didn't know where money was going to come from. The kids started back to school on a Wed., that night I got a call from the board offering me a job @ Burkett Center for the Multi-Handicapped. The conversation consisted of asking if I wanted to the job and I immediately said yes. I was extremely nervous not knowing what to expect...these kids are severely special ed. I love my job. There are positives and negatives just like any job, but these kids can be really loving. And the ladies that I work with are incredible. All I can say is that GOD IS SOOOO GOOD!!! I know that he made that job available to me.

'With all that said, I have a few prayer requests...1) Pray that God gives me some direction in going back to school. 2) My brother has changed duty stations in the Navy...he is now stationed in N.C. and will deploy in Jan. Please pray for his safety and the safety of the others he will be with. He will not be in Iraq or Afghanistan, he will be on the USS Nassau. 3) When praying for Dustin, pray for the rest of the men and women fighting for our country...they are fighting for us. 4) Lastly...for our country (enough said).

I should be blogging soon...

I was able to get all my pics back...thanks to the totally awesome Brian. He was able to retreive everything. I owe him big!!!!! I should have some new posts by this weekend. I hope you haven't missed me too much.

Ok, so I'm a little behind...

Yes, I realize that I've been quite neglectful of this blog. To my avid readers...I sincerely apologize. Now that I'm trying to be better, my desktop at home is on the fritz, which is where all of my pictures are being stored. I have to much to blog about...1st day of school, field trips etc. and my pictures are out in limbo somewhere being held hostage. I promise as soon as the problem is rectified, I will be back with a vengeance.

Sincerely,
Dawn =)

Reader Beware

Just a warning...this is the mega-post. There are 13 new posts. But again since it was brought to my attention that I was being a blogging slacker, I had to do something. So, you are now going to be caught up on the Northcutt Summer.

Family Shots

Ok, the beach pictures of the family turned out horrible. But these pics from the Lagoon side turned out great I think. I personally love the tree shots.

More pics

Our condo was on the Lagoon this year and we couldn't resist taking some shots that weren't your typical beach shots.

Beach pics

Just some pics of the kids.

Adventure Island

We played some putt-putt while down in G.S. We had a good time, even though Brandon won.

Gulf Shores Beach

We stayed in Gulf Shores and Braden and Lexie had a ball playing in the sand. They also met some friends while we were staying there. Mattie and Connor, from Little Rock, Arkansas, were they beach buddies for 2 days. They built castles and buried Lexie.

Naval Aviation Museum

When we were in Pensacola, we visited the Naval Aviation Museum that is on the Naval Base. It was a blast...the kids loved it more than I thought they would. The were able to see old and new planes, sit in the cockpit of the Blue Angels (the old ones of course) and look at different memorabilia. Then as we were touring the outside planes, we were able to see the Blue Angels and Fat Albert Jr. (the huge plane with the Angels) take off to go to an airshow. Braden thought that was awesome.

What will we do free food?

Dress like cows of course. July 10th was Cow Appreciation Day for Chik-fil-A. Dress like a cow and get free food, so the Northcutt's participated.
