It's all about daddy!

For Father's Day I thought it would be fun to do something out of the norm. Our nearby mountain has a train station. They offer scenic train rides with a BBQ lunch and thought that would be perfect.

This was our steam train

Daddy and Austin both look the part with their train hats. Andrew, well he was doing what he does best...sleep.
Austin couldn't' take his eyes off the train, he was so excited!

Daddy and his boys - they sure do love their daddy

Austin loved sitting next to the window and looking at all of the trees, streams and animals as we past by them.

lovely scenery

trying on the conductors hat. I think he fits the part, don't you?

Mineral Lake - Where we had lunch

Our yummy lunch with BBQ chicken, ribs, beans, coleslaw, bread and to top it all off cheesecake!

We had a great day and this is some we are definitely doing again!!!

Happy Father's Day Paul. Thank you for all of your hard work for me and the boys. You do such a wonderful job providing and caring for our family. We love you!

Turn up the volume for cuteness!!

Pool Time

We love the pool on hot days!

Just another Saturday with my boys

When the sun is out we run outdoors! We ventured out to a nursery and Austin loved smelling all of the flowers. He loved following daddy around and looking at all of the wonderful colors.
We also found some ponds and Austin loved picking out all of the fish that were swimming around.

Fish, Fish, Fish!

Afterwards we went to the Farmers Market and played in the park and got a snack.

What a wonderful Saturday!

time flies...

And my baby is already 3 months old
but he sure is a cutie pie

Here are some quick facts about Andrew:

- Sleeps through the night - has done this at 6 weeks old for 12-13 hours straight!!!

- if you can't tell he loves to eat

- adores his brother

- tolerates tummy time

- is super giggly in the morning

- loves to "talk"

- like to rough house with daddy

- hates his baby swing (although it was Austin's all time favorite)

- likes to go on walks

- loves his Bumbo

- still loves to be swaddles and smiles when you do it because he knows he will be asleep soon (yup both boys are obsessed with sleeping - they get that from their father)

- at this point has beautiful green eyes

- is losing his hair :-(

- his smile lights up the room

We sure do love our newest addition to our family. Andrew is an amazing baby.

Thanks Opa and Oma

Since I couldn't bring both boys to California my parent's wouldn't let me leave empty handed so I came home with many gifts for Austin. Some of his prized possessions were his new Cars backpack, his shake Lightening McQueen car and his bus. He carries them around with him everywhere. Thanks Oma and Opa I miss and love you!

Surprise mom!!!

I bought a plane ticket a month ago and only told my dad, we were trying to surprise my mom and boy was she surprised and very happy. It was fun hanging out with my mom and going all over town, and the weather was great.
