Old toys are NEW again

We took out Austin's old toys the other day and it was like Christmas for this little boy who fell in love with his toys he once loved so much (Andrew liked them too)



Bath Time

We tried bath time together and it worked out well. The boys had so much splashing each other and Austin was such a big helper washing out Andrew's hair.Can't get enough of those cheeks!
All Clean!!!


Out Door Fun

Hailey is the little girl that I watch for one of my neighbors. Her and Austin have become great friends. They love to place and be silly with one another. the other day they were playing outside and I hear screams of terror and the 2 of them yelling frog, frog!!! There was a little green frog on the trampoline
our new buddy, froggy!

When daddy and Andrew are gone Mommy and Austin will play

Paul and Andrew went to California for the weekend. So it was just me and Austin partied like it was 2011!


After we dropped them off at the airport we headed to the mall for some fun at the bounce house.


and we went on the carousel

we picked the reindeer

then we went to lunch at Johnny Rockets. Austin picked a song for us to listen to while we waited for our lunch.


happy on a date with mom

we shared a shake (strawberry Oreo shake mmmm)

me and my boy sharing lunch


we also had fun at home, painting and playing around



We had a fun weekend just us two again. It was nice having some alone time together again but we are so excited to pick up Paul and Andrew tomorrow.

He's 2 and it shows

A friend gave me advice for when our kids are in their 2's, take pictures and laugh lots. Well done and done.

Train Ride

Yes we go on the train a lot and yes our son is obsessed with trains but we love him and love to see him so happy! so focused can't even say cheese
we are on a bridge, daddy and Austin are looking at all of the things around them

Andrew is all tuckered out

Austin reliving the train ride

What a great day!


And a special thanks to the Walker family who bought the tickets from Groupon but they unfortunately couldn't make it and gave the tickets to us!


Spooner Farms

I love where we live, within minutes we can be at a real farm and our kids can see how pumpkins grow and see farm animals. We went to Spooner farms and had Andrew dress up as a pumpkin.


Me and my sweet boys

Where are Austin and daddy?
Such a happy pumpkin



Daddy and his boy (yes this is Washington weather but at least we didn't get rained on)

Our sweet family

Austin insisted on wearing his rain boots and good thing he did because he saw those puddles and yelled JUMP!!!

We also said hello to our friend the Turkey, gobble gobble gobble!




They also had rubber duck races. We got wet but it was well worth all of the squeals of delight from Austin.





Happy 4th Anniversary to us!

4 years ago he asked, I said yes! 4 years ago we married at the right place (San Diego LDS temple) to the right person, my sweet heart. 4 years ago we began an adventure together and it has been a busy one with many ups and some downs. Through it all we are the best of friends, partners and love each other very much. Happy Anniversary!

3 year anniversary (couldn't find an actual pic of us celebrating but here is one of us a month later 6 months pregnant with Andrew)

Brothers

Any time Austin does something around Andrew his face lights up. They make each other laugh which is contagious in our house. They have become fast friends and hopefully some day the best of friends.
