Our boy gets INTO lots of stuff

He likes to play in the dirt and it usually makes it into his mouth

he likes to take a look at every single one of his wipes

he has recently learned to climb on the table

and when I went to make Paul's lunch and grab a bag of chips I found this...

Austin is a boy who likes to figure things out and doesn't stop until he does. We love how curious our little boy is. We love him!

Our family of 3 is becoming 4

We are excited to announce the newest addition to our family, due to make its arrival in the beginning of March. We are so excited to meet this little person.

Day 3: Auntie is here

In the morning we went to the Children's Museum in Tacoma. They had a lot of fun things for Austin to do. They even had a toy car for Paul

We had fun dressing up too

We also painted

An Austin original

After we all napped we went to dinner

Thank Paul

Austin loves the bread sticks!

Another funfilled day in Washington!

Day 2: Auntie is here!

In the morning we drove to the fish market in Seattle. They have a lot of fish!!! mmmmmm crab legs!
My sister also bought me flowers

Austin sporting his beanie that my sister got him, soooo cute

then we came home napped and played

after Paul came home we all went to the park

but we were being followed...

My sister bought a life size version of Edward Cullen from the Twilight Saga and we were being silly.

Austin sure does love his Auntie

It's been really nice having my sister here

Day 1: Auntie is here!!!

For the first day we stayed local. We went to the mall where my sister could blow a little cash and play with Austin. Austin always has a blast at the play park in the mall
After Austin's nap we went for a walk which made Auntie very hot and tired

so we cooled off in the backyard

We have the best Auntie in the world!

My sister and I have looked on Criagslist for the perfect play set for Austin. We finally found one and my sister got it for her nephew. So we picked it up and Paul put it all together Putting the puzzle together
It's complete! What a great play set, complete with 2 slides, playhouse, crawl spaces, climbers and a tunnel!

Austin loves it!

Thanks Auntie!!

Family fun on a Bike

We just bought a bike trailer from Costco. So we put it together, hooked it up to the bike and off we went. It was a lot of fun
There is me and Austin, wait is Austin giving us the bird?

Happy 4th of July

Our friends for our ward invited us to their house for burgers and fireworks. We had a blast!

Austin and his first sparkler Watching the neighborhood fireworks
Austin couldn't look away

What a fun day

But this day would be complete without thinking how blessed we are to live in America where are have freedom. We are not perfect but what society is.

Remember only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you...JESUS CHRIST and the AMERICAN SOLIDER. One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Father's Day

I woke up early and make panacakes, scrambled eggs, and hash browns mmmmmmmm!

Austin is enjoying his pancakes too
The we went to the Mini dealership and had some fun test driving some of their cars

Then to get Indian food, one of Paul's favorite types of food

Austin was helping feeding daddy

Happy Father's Day

Did I mention on this day Austin chose to say mama for the first time :-) I sure do love my little boy

Happy Father's Day DAD!

Tons of memories...many laughs along the way. I am so glad that I have a family to experience it with. Thanks mom and dad for all of your hard work and sacrifice.

Happy Father's Day
