Buckle Your Seatbelt...

I apologize in advance for not updating for over a month. This was one of my fears when I started, but I am not going away! Following, you will find a snapshot of the Route Family over the last month...hope you enjoy as much as we did.



Let's start with Labor Day. About as far from labor as you could get. Courtney graciously came over and hung out with me. (I was kind of having a rough go...) The boys had a great time and in the end all ended up Super Heroes. Well, Rhett was kind of "Super"...he was a Pirate! Boy, the sisters are going to kill me on this one. I am going back on my word big time...but hey, I have to. MOM TURNED 60!!! Courtney and Tracey both had eye infections and swore off photos, but oh well. We love you Mom, you're always 45 to us. Boy, that will be weird soon when I look up and I am 46!

My brother in law, Steven, and I played in a "couples" golf tourney. Shoes should always make the blog, right? I know, I know....he wins with these.

Can you believe Brian commented on my tan here??? He is one to talk!

Landynn turned 3 in Sept!!! OTW home this creature was crossing the road. Inevitably, Brian hit the brakes and we all had to take a look. EEEHHH... We were just glad that my dad was not with us. He would have picked it up.

HUGE news at the Route House. REID ROCKED OUT!!! Maybe not what all 5 year old are in to...but hey, it's great for hand eye coordination. Here's to Guitar Hero. Good Night Austin!

We had a BBQ with some of Reid's old friends from Cornerstone. They are each in their own schools now in their Kindergarten class, but we hope they will always remain friends. They are a great group and we had a really fun time catching up. (Reid thinks Caroline, the girl with the straw, is the best friend ever...)!

And now for the biggest event of the month... THOMAS THE TRAIN came to Burnett!!! Be still Rhett's crazy beating heart. He was pumped. This is the ultimate for him. If you so much as tried to touch his train hat, you would probably at the minimum lose a finger. Here we are at Aunt Courtney's before heading out.

Me and my boys. It was raining and freezing, but that wasn't stopping our parade!

Just thought this was a kind of a cool picture of the boys. They enjoyed looking out the window and we had them open the window for the 2nd half of the ride, which Reid enjoyed.

Oh no....he's NOT camera shy. (Grammy has taken more than 500,000 pics since he was born...he's what we refer to as a natural.)

This was a heart breaker. Rhett saying goodbye to his current Hero. He really loves that train!

It was a fun time had by all... It was special to share with cousin Landynn, who is a Thomas lover as well. (Reid let us know from the beginning that he was just there for the "little" boys.) I remind you that he is 5.

Done.... Wee Wee Wee... all the way home.

Just another month with the Route's... I noticed, as well as I am sure you did, that Brian's photo did not make the blog. They are all still off at the photo lab getting photo shopped... J/K, truth be told, he is worse than a female and always says that "there is absolutely no way he could be that fat" and tries to delete them. He really just wasn't there for many of these. We will make sure you see him on the next blog. I'll get him! We love you all...
