I can't believe it is September already. We have completed 16 days of school!

My first born son, Zachary David Mikula turns 24 today, September 6th. Happy Birthday Zack-man! We always have a great time with him when we get the chance to visit and he ALWAYS makes us laugh. He has this way of saying something simple in such a crazy, loud way that he always gets a laugh out of Linn, Aaron and I.

The dude can swim really well and let me tell you, don't ever challenge him to see who can hold their breath the longest under water. A lesson learned for Aaron. It is scary how long he can hold his breath! You have to beg him to come up for air.

He is engaged to a beautiful young lady, Leighann and they have an absolutely adorable little son that will melt any heart, Zack Jr. I can't get enough of that little junior dude.

Speaking of birthdays, I got a special birthday package in the mail this week from my lovely daughter Linn. She is so sweet, but she doesn't listen to me very well. I told her NOT to buy me anything else because she spent a fortune buying me new makeup when I was home for a few weeks. She has such a giving heart.

I turned my cupcake holder into a sticker holder for school. I love stickers. They add a flare of color to a boring worksheet that sends an encouraging message, "GREAT JOB", "KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK", "LOOKIN' GOOD". Sydney's teacher will quite often tell the students to put a star or smiley beside a section of math problems if they got them all right. So I keep a lot of smileys and stars for Syd.

After finding out from my Aunt Marcie that my Grandma Kies made pizzas using hamburger buns, I had to try it out for myself. I don't know if she rolled the bun flat or not but I went ahead and did that. I added the sauce, cheese and pepperoni for the kids but made a surprisingly awesome veggie pizza for myself. The secret ingredient that made the veggie pizza out of this world was the addition of feta cheese sprinkled on top. I baked them in a 400 degree oven for ten minutes. The kids loved them and they were easy to make. That veggie pizza was really good! I am definitely making hamburger bun pizzas again! Thanks grandma!

The flowers in our backyard are still blooming like crazy.

I don't know what in the world all this stuff is but I guess I'm supposed to use it to clean the house! Yep, it's Saturday cleaning day! The one day of the week that I wish we lived in a one room, bungalow. I better get to gettin'!

Stay tuned for Weekly Review Part 2 - the reveal of the Clintster breakfast, a video or two of the kids and maybe even a pic of the Georgia dome, who knows what will happen. :D
