The Dentist

We went to our bi-annual check-up and passed with flying colors. Austin loves it there. They have a carousal, train table and a variety of games for them to plat with. Austin did a great job getting all 20 teeth cleaned
all pearly white!

Excuse the mess, art is being made

We attempted stamping with different objects like bell peppers, toilet rolls and stamps. It sure was messy but lots of fun!




Austin's magic trick


had a FAIRly good time

This past Thursday we went to the fair as a family. My awesome neighbors got us in or free. Pam won us tickets and Kelly won us free parking, I know I say this all the time but my neighbors are awesome. We had fun sampling all of the different types of food
Austin loves corn





We also visited all of the animals

he loved petting the goats too




What a great family night out!

Yup he also likes to bounce

He's a swinger baby, yay! (In the voice of Austin Power's)






I think its safe to say someone enjoyed their first time on the swings


Hailey

Hailey is the newest addition to our day. I watch her for my friend and neighbor during the day. She is a great addition to our day. Her and Austin have become fast friends. Not only is she a great helper but is a good example for Austin on how a "big kid" talks and acts. Since she has been here Austin has potty trained himself, his vocabulary has soared and enjoys having a buddy around to play with every day!

Play Doh Fun!!!!

I was feeling kind of crafty and tried my hand at making homemade play-doh with the help of a utube video and an 8 year old showing me how to do it. I figured if she could, I could too! Not too shabby for my first time
Austin had so much fun playing. He kept saying dough, dough!

and the next day we invited of some friends to try it out. They all had so much fun.

They were so proud of all of their creations.

Here is Luke with his green snake

Neighbors

Not only have we moved into the best neighborhood, into the best house but we happened to move next to the best neighbor who has turned into an Auntie for my kids and one of my very best friends. We share, text, laugh and occassionally cry but through it all its nice to have a great mommy friend to go through it all with :-)

We have been trying to get Andrew to practice crawling and since he loves eating we figured this would help give him some motivation to move

Puyallup Fair

Rachel and her adorable daughter and my crew packed the car and braved the fair traffic on the "free" day at the fair. It was both of our first time there so we weren't sure what to expect but we knew we would have fun. Austin was in love with the ponies and kept making horse sounds
he was so gentle with the pony, petting it very softly

Austin: "mom I want one"

Mom: "ask your oma"

and he even got to see a big pig and her babies

It was a fun day at the fair especially since we had friends go with us. There was a lot to see and do there.

He is on the move people!!!
