Weekend Wrap Up

I am at this moment sitting at home all alone and I have to say it's nice. Papaw picked up Austin before lunch and Brandon is at work. This is the first "home alone" time I've had in a very long time.

We've had a rather busy weekend with grocery and gift buying on Friday, a couple of birthday parties on Saturday, one for my niece who is turning 11 and the other for my cousin who turned 50. And for today just a whole lot of nothing except for cooking supper.

So here are a few photos of the little man from Saturday.

Look at those big blue eyes (and that dirty face!!)

Trying to hit the pinata, but the stick Uncle Shane had was a little heavy.

 

So instead he just picked up suckers that fell out when the big kids broke it.

 

Here is the birthday girl, Ayla. I can't believe she is fixin' to be 11 years old.

And here is one of Mikey with half of the pinata on his head. You never know what that kid is gonna do.

And of course the sweetest, cutest little man around. How precious is this little guy.

 

An Interesting Read...

or I'm assuming it was. I went to check on Austin while he was in the bathroom a few days ago and this is what I found. Of course I ran and got the camera when I found him this way. Apparently he takes after every man in the world where the bathroom is their official "library". He was looking at a Sportsmans Guide catalog and also like his Daddy was checking out what was on sale. I'll so embarrass him one of these days with pictures like this.

 

 

 

Feedin' the Cows

One of Austin's favorite things to do is going to feed the cows with Papaw. He waits on him to come pick him up so they can take feed to the pasture. So every few days Papaw shows up to go "peed the cows" as Austin says. I rode down over the weekend while they were feeding and filling up the water tank so that I could get a few pics. I don't get a lot of the two of them, so I thought it would be a great opportunity to catch them in action.

 

Watcha' doin Papaw? (over and over)

Come on Papaw, I'm gonna crank it up!!

 

Makin' a Cake!!

On Monday Austin and I made a birthday cake for our cousin Rosemary (Austin calls her Ro-Ro). Her birthday isn't until Thursday, but we went ahead and had a little early birthday celebration for her. Of course I had my little helper as usual and he did the duty of cleaning up the spoon and beaters afterwards!!

Ummm, Ummm Good!

 

The finished product. It didn't turn out that great, but it's kinda hard when you have an almost 2 1/2 year old poking his fingers in it everytime you look away. Oh well, practice makes perfect (or better in my case), one of these days I'll figure out how to decorate well.

 

I've Got My Mask On...

so lets go hunting Daddy. As always Austin is right in the middle of everything we're doing and when Brandon cleaned out all of his hunting stuff that was no exception. Austin found a couple of Brandon's old face mask and of course he wanted to wear them. These two masks have officially become Austins.

 

 

I'm not sure what this face is, but he was trying to get his mask just right.
