my first born

My Mister Bussy Pants...
you may have seen/heard him referred to as...
austin, austy, rusty, russy, russe,l russel p. nelson busty, bussy, bubby's, dud dud, dubby's, doogy, buddy
my most favorite little boy in the whole wide world!
Austin "I'm a 5 year old boy"
Yes folks it's ture my first born is 1/2 a decade old. How can that even be possible. I remind him all the time that when he as a tiny baby he promised me that he wouldn't grow up anymore... he a 5 year old disobedient boy!

Austin is the sweetest boy! He's smart as a whip and will have you rolling with laughter. He's a still a lover of all animals, mammals, amphibians, fish, dinosaurs but his real love is for reptiles. He is proper and particular. He's a fighter, a ninja, a boy with "scary things"but he loves to snuggle. He a "cowboy" and a "baseball player". He loves to learn about everything. He loves the planet and all its inhabitants. He's sometimes a bat. He loves to brush his teeth like a big boy. He loves to pray and participate in FHE. He loves to do tricks. He's an enforcer of rules and is so, so, so sorry when he breaks them. He has faith and so does his horses. He a drawer, a shape maker and a letter knowing kid. He loves to sing and read book. He is a reverent and rowdy boy. He's got an eye for good looks. He relies on Jesus. He's a lizard catcher, snake charming, horse riding and cat corraling kid. He's my baby...my little boy.. my 5 year old boy! He has his "munny's" heart forever. He is daddy'd best friend, camping buddy, fishing pal... he is his daddy!

We love our boy.
He is ours forever and eternity. How lucky are we to know that and to have him in our family! He's the perfect one to to lead this rowdy bunch of Haught kids!

my baby

Charlotte Louise
lottie lou, tookie, tooks, honey bear, booskie, charbo, charlotta
this little lady came to us in a whirl wind of unexpected but much anticipated action!
ever since her early arrival she had been taking us by surprise
and leaving us exhaustedly in love!

she is full of energy and action.
she loves her people especially when all their attention is on her.
the sound of her dada's voice immediately puts a smile on her face.
she'd be happy to never leave her mama's arms.
she laughs the hardest at her silly brother.
looks at her sister like they've been best friend forever.

she's a paci and bottle baby. she loves strawberries, goldfish, meat and yogurt. she wants to be everywhere but is content to crawl there. she's still learning how to sleep through the night. her laugh is contagious and had been giggling since she got here. she loves loves to sing and dance... crazy girl dance. she is always there to help unload the dishwasher and rearrange the refrigerator. she pulls every bow, flower, headband out of her stick straight hair. she gives the biggest, widest open mouth kissed known to man and the sweetest snuggles. she can imitate a dragon's battle cry... and uses it a lot! she's been kicking her feet ever since she figured them out. she feels like our first baby and sometimes our last.

she's our baby, our daughter, our sister, our little love. i can't imagine my life with out her






happy birhtday baby
love you my lottie girl

the catcher of the year


Remember when i said Austin caught a baby loggerhead.... Well I wasn't joking
We were floating out in middle of the ocean, depth of about 100ft and Austin says
"hey munny there's a baby turtle"
Sure enough there it was a tiny baby turtle. we scooped it up and took some pathetic picture.
you may ask yourselves
"what are the chances of the entire ocean a baby turtle floats right by your boat"
We they were great. We had the reptile, amphibian, mammal, animal lover on the board!





True to form as we were trying to hurry an get out the door to school, Austin started hollerin' about something behind the car.
All the commotion over a little baby snake.
He had to keep it to show grandma who shares his love for baby snakes.
Good thing his big daddy was there to pick it up because his mama uh-uh!!!!
totally CREEPY... no matter how small and tiny and "cute" they may seem

a man and his desire...

one night my man decided it was time again to have chickens.
before i knew it I had chicken tractor plans placed before me.

he started. he didn't mess around. he completely out did himself.


watching his flock
the coop of all coops... these laddies are lucky to be his chicks



love that man
love those kids chasing those chickens that i love
and i love my little chick

Kitty got right in there and was catching chickens left and right. She'd pick them up and put them in to roost.

we love our life with chickens...
and will love the organic free range eggs that we won't have to pay $4 a dozen for at the store anymore!!

The purpose of the chicken coop:
we love having chickens... our kids especially love checking for eggs
we wanted free range BUT our past experiences with the foxes and other wildlife prove that to be impossible!
The coop is on wheels so ever night before we close them in to roost Sam moves the "tractor" to fresh grass. Hence the "free range".

dating

sam and I had lots a reason/people to go on dates
this past summer I think we hit a record for the number of
out to dinners
movies in the theater
hours of bowling
for me any reason to go out with my handsome lover is good enough for me!

of course the men pick the front seats so we are forced into back seat photoshoots

Shelly's 27th b-day and VQ's "not even close to 40th" b-day dinner

when the camera come out I get all kinds of silly faces from this man

our ridiculous night of bowling till like 2am...
haven't been up that late in years

Jupiter, FL

the real deal trip for the RFM reunion... Jupiter, FL
Deep sea fishing
mmmm love every second of being on the water. this year wasn't too kind to us.
spent countless hours rocking back and forth on the deep blue only to catch one pathetic Bonita.
RATS!!!!
Capt Daniel and Capt. Jordan did a superb job in trying to get us on some but... maybe next year.
now, as for my babe.... Grizz as they called him. Had nothing much to do with anything water, boat, fishing or Dramamine. He learned his lesson from last year. Instead he took the time to be with the kids and just relax.

my little beauty checking out the action on the boats

Girls fishing trip

Jordy and his crew telling their tale
They went to catch bait fish and we got right to work at about 90ft... of course we caught nothing and mom caught the Holy Grail
a SAIL FISH
Capt. Dan just relaxing from all the action....
or lack there of
what happens when more than 2 of us girls get together
photoshoot

lines started running.....
dang bonita!!!!
back to the real action... pictures
look at my most beautiful sisters
now if only we could have got the other beauties to come along...
missed you shanda, emily, christine, tiff and heather
Daniel and all his sisters

ohh the tookie... she wild

The RFM MUNNS family
in all it's anchor wearing GLORY

again mother's brilliant idea to bring babysitters proved to be the best idea of the year
us young parents in turn enjoyed some adult activities
such as one of my favorite thing to do... going out to dinner!
EVERY NIGHT

my lover and me

it was the perfect thing to do with the kids
if you find your self in South Florida... GO its FREE

ellie kitty goldie
Kids just don't come any cuter than these
my memory card is FULL of these gems
i can't wait till they figure out that it could be done in one shot instead of giving me a bunch of these faces

Charlotte Louise
she's a wild girl
and simply irresistible

Uncle Jordan took the little kids out for a ride to catch bait fish
who knew the girl that was terrified of loud noises, heights, a/c blowing in her face, fast slide, big pushes on the swing
would love wind blowing in her face and jumping the waves
While we were on the kids trip we decided to just head out for a bit to try to catch something. Well, we did!
My little animal man spotted a baby sea turtle floating right by the boat....
shh don't tell but we netted it and took some darling pictures of Austin with it.
I'll post them when i get them.
