Boys

This is how Austin has been dressed most of the morning, playing with his cousins who are over, and watching TV. It just makes me laugh how girls are born to play princess and boys, superhero figures. Buzz & Spiderman- 2 of his favs. AND he has his Batman shirt underneath all those layers.

See that coffee table right there? My awesome husband built it and then stained it. I would take some credit but I didn't do much. He took right over. I seriously lucked out. Aaron can figure out, fix, build, create, just about anything out there and he works his butt off for us! I guess I'll keep him. ;D

It's ok that it's 11 am and I'm still in my jammies blogging right?? haha.

Photo Friday

I am going to try to take a pic and write something fun we did that week each Friday! Today we are lucky enough to have our cousins Markie and Graham over while their mom is having a baby!! YAY!! We can't wait to meet the little guy. Michelle and I usually like to have our babies a few days apart. I am sad to not be joining in this time! =) But only because EVERYONE around me is having babies!! We live right up the street from each other, so it is so fun for our kids to grow up together! Especially since Michelle is MY cousin and none of my kids actual cousins live around here.

*just got a text from my friend Elizabeth with a pic of her brand new baby boy- so precious!
*waiting to hear from Whitney on her new little girl!!

*and for Michelle's baby to be here!!

ALL ON THE SAME DAY!

SEE- EVERYONE AROUND ME IS HAVING A BABY!!

While I was typing this these two were having fun outside spitting milk at each other....lovely huh?;D Good thing they're cute!

They're just a little guilty with there milk faces.hahaha.

TROUBLE

mascara left on the bathroom counter

How can I possibly get mad at that precious little face???

He was so proud of himself too!!

He is such a quiet little destructor....but I love him anyways!!!

Three Years Old!

Austin turned 3 last weekend! I honestly wanted to cry, but we had a fun day! The night before his birthday we took him to Target and told him to pick out whatever toy he wanted. He chose a big Buzz Lightyear! (surprise, surprise..haha!) He has Woody and he LOVES it so we added Buzz to the collection. On his actual birthday this is what we did:

Morning: He requested his favorite. Chocolate chip pancakes and chocolate milk. Took 2 bites as usual. (this kid DOES NOT eat EVER!)

Grandma & Grandpa came over to give him his new Toy Story bike from both grandparents!

(Sidenote: I tried talking A into getting a bike put together at Wal-Mart. NO- he wanted Toy Story. (how did he even know they had them?) SO I had to call 6 different stores until I found the very last one in stock at Toys R Us. Good thing my hubby is handy and can put anything together in 10 minutes with his busy schedule...)

Lunch: Cafe Rio with his grandma and grandpa

Then we headed to St. George so he could have a party with his cousin on Aaron's side. They're 8 hours apart. Austin wanted a spiderman party. Statlen wanted a Buzz & Woody party. SO we had both. We had pizza and cake at a park with almost all the cousins and Granny & Papa Bruce! A fun time was had by all! Saturday birthdays are the best!

Austin LOVES his bike and is always begging to go outside and ride it. Good thing it has been in the 60's for a couple weeks now so we can go to the park and ride outside everyday!

I love Vegas the months of October to about April!! Can't beat it!

Happy Birthday to my little man! Time- please slow down...please!

My Babies Are Growing Up...

*picture done by my friend May. just a random moment she caught of my kiddies.

"I'll like you for always, i'll love you forever, as long as I'm living my babies you'll be"

My babies are growing up on me. Austin will be THREE on Saturday and Sienna, 3 weeks after that, will be FIVE!! NOOOOO!! It honestly makes me tear up a little bit. I love the ages they are at. Granted, there are plenty of fights, fits, and whining that happens around here. I still love them with all my heart and think they are at SUCH a fun age. I can take them pretty much anywhere and not want to pull my hair out! I just wanted to take a moment and cry. =) I know they are still little but I still can't believe how fast the time has gone. I cherish every second that is a happy, fun moment with them and hope I can be close with them forever and hope they don't cause me TOO much grief as they grow!

*As I'm typing this Sienna is blowing in a straw making it whistle in my face and laughing like it is the funniest thing she has heard...i tell ya I was sent this little angel to teach me patience....everyday is such a joy with her!! haha!

Disney On Ice

For the 2nd year in row, Sienna and I went to Disney On Ice. She has been asking about going for months and so off we went! We had dinner at Outback at her request. Nothing like some Mac' A Roo N' Cheese! Then off we went to the show. She loved the princesses and asked me if they were going back home to their castle. Precious- the innocence of a child! It was fun and it is always nice to have some one on one time with her.

We definitely could use some sun- that's for sure! We look WAY too white!

At dinner time....

The wonderful princesses!!

And this picture is just too funny to not post! These two were cuddling on the couch (WHICH IS A RARE THING) and I thought I better get a pic before hair was being pulled, slapping, pinching- you get the idea. Sibling Love!

Chocolate anyone?

Austin is very obsessive compulsive. Even at the age of 2. He is OBSESSED with his milk and there better be some chocolate mixed in. He lives off chocolate milk literally. He has maybe 2 or 3 bites AT THE MOST of the food made, but give him some milk (with chocolate!!) and his blanky and he shuts his eyes as he sips it like it is his little piece of heaven. The other night Aaron made chocolate shakes and Austin was in LOVE.


Obsession 2- his masks, guns, and cowboy boots.
Austin can be found most of the day with one of those items on. I just had to snap a pic of him the other day in his usual get up.

All day long we have to strap the mask on over and over and over. SUCH A BOY!!
