Austin 6/29/15

Austin is the best little boy a gal could ask for. The past while I have been tryin to be goo bout walkin and workin out. He has been so good bout pushin me to do more, askin to go on one more walk mommy. Just one more. He was so good bout walkin with me so much, he even went on a special 1 mile walk with just mommy. He was so talkitive and happy to just spend time with me, without Allie. Love my little man.

Kids

When you go out and your babysitter is able to catch this jem, and text it to you. Melts my heart how much I love them and there babysitter loves them as well.

Pretty in pink our first poney tail

It's really hard to see but she has a poney tail on:) this was from May 

Loved this dress so much :) was so girly and cute.

Just because u need a little "old" Austin he calls it when we do this:)

Family

I sure am thankful for my little family and all the love we have for each other :)

Happy family Sunday time

Happy Sunday yall!!! While out grillin our dinner we all got to sit on the swing and play together as a family :) Allie is in love with Austins  helmet and he's in love with his bike!! Allie sure does look like her daddy :)

Star Wars

So I am not one to let my little kids watch Star Wars at all as of yet they have been too young. But Austin does love his light sabers he got a few years ago for Christmas. 

So we thought we might spice up his Saturday last weekend with some YouTube.

 

He only got to watch the old ones, and the big epic battle.

I made sure to tell him bout the ouchie a befor they happened.

His favorite is the red right now.

He loved it so much, he was coping moves and tryin to do it just like darth Vadar. It was the cutest thing I have ever seen. 

Article of Faith update

 Mr man can now do article of faith number 3 and 6!!!! He's only been in primary since January and has been asked to do the AoF 2 times now and we have worked really hard on gettin him to remember then befor he goes up.

Allie second no tear bath!!!!!

Tonight had her second bath with out screaming!!!! Normally I have to have her shower with me is the only way to make this happen. But you can't forget the hairbrush or the water works start up. Happy 9.5 months Allie!

Sleepy smiley baby Allie

This is the only face that makes waking up early count for!! Just the thought of me waking her up every morning makes me cringe but when this is what I get, who could be happier! She would sleep till noon if I let her...

Sometimes you just need a little dirty face:)

Sometimes we just need to take a moment and enjoy the mess :) Allie at 8.5months 

Austin is 4!!!

It's so hard to believe that my little boy is 4 today!!! Where has the time gone? How did this happen? When is time gonna slow down?! 

I wish that I could say I am being good about writing down all the cool and fun things he says, but let's face it since little miss Allie came along 23 have been a little busy with all her many many doctor appointments..

This year with Austin has come and gone and so much has changed. We got a house, he got a baby sister, and he is now a sunbeam in our new ward! 

He has gotten a few really good bumps. His black eye, his 50 ant bits in one week, several minor cuts, and feel off the back of a seat in the costco food court:( that one hurt a lot.

But we have had many ups Austin has memorized his article of faith number 3, he can say prayers all by his self, he can drink out of a cup, he can fill his cup with water from fridge door, and we are finally complety potty trained!!! We only put pull ups on him when we fly just in case :) 5 hours is a long time to not potty and he doesn't like that the potties don't have water :/ 

We had lots of fun trips this year. We went to visit and stay with Travis grandparents Newell, we flew to Seattle to see my parents, then drove with my parents to Utah to spend Christmas with my aunt the Taylor's and grandparent Chase and uncle the Chase's it was so much fun. We were also able to see grandma Rawson for the first time since her stroke in January of 2014. It was a blessing to go see her not knowing if we would be able to see her again.

What a blessing you have been to me Austin, our days maybe hard and stressful, we may spend most of the day in time out bit know that mommy loves you. And you are the best gift I have ever been givin. I love you Travis Austin!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
