Dyeing Easter Eggs

I ended up dyeing the eggs while Austin took his nap. I decided that my kitchen would be safer that way. He did help put stickers on them when they dried so did get to help a little. Sorry Austin. He's had a little too much candy this weekend so as you can tell from the bottom photo he's wearing a paper sack on his head!!

 

What a Mess!

So as I'm vacuuming this morning I notice Austin has gotten really quiet for a bit. I turned off the vacuum to go look for him and hear a drawer slam and little feet just a running through the house. When he got to me this is what I saw...



It looks as if he was trying to draw himself some whiskers like a cat. He had got my eyeliner and was having a big time!

Austin's 2nd Birthday - Part 2!!

We had Austin's 2nd Birthday Party on Saturday and it was a lot of fun. We did a Cowboy theme this year and everyone seemed to have a great time.

This is the gift from Mama & Daddy. It was wrapped up in the living room and I went to the bathroom, but when I came back this is what I found.

He had already unwrapped it and got on in

From the smile on his face, I'd say he liked it

Trying to blow out the candle...

Enjoying cake and ice cream with Uncle Terry

Opening gifts. The 1st thing he found was a Tootsie Roll pop and that's all he cared about!

A little lower dad...

Getting the loot

Thanks for coming Abby...now gimme' some lovin'!

Look at all that good icing left...I think I'll help my self

After a long day he was just nasty...take a look at that face.

Austin's 2nd Birthday - Part 1

This is Austin's gift from Karla & Keebey. His 1st tricycle and he really likes it. His legs are still a little short to reach the pedals, but it won't be long and he'll be gettin' after it. Also notice the hat to match. It says "My 1st ATV".

 

Flowers for My Mama!!

So again we've spent all weekend outside and Jacob and Lexie were down visiting. Austin had a ball. Of course Brandon had Jacob helping us clean the yard up (and Lexie helped too). We're trying to get the "winter time yard" cleaned up for Austin's birthday party. What a job it was. It was such a mess, but we got it all done. Lexie was a huge help with Austin because she helped watch him while I did my clean up. So below are some pictures of my first bouquet of flowers from Austin. He and Lexie picked them all and he brought them to me and said "flowers Mama". So of course I put them in a cup of water and put them in the kitchen window. How sweet is my little boy?

It's Spring Time...At Least For A Few Days

We spent all weekend outside painting our kitchen cabinet doors and building an island for the kitchen, painting molding, etc. The weather was beautiful and Austin was just proud to be out. We'll be so glad when the warm weather arrives just so he can go out more. So here are a few random pics from the weekend.




Our little redneck in his shorts and boots!


I think I'll help dad out and rake some of these leaves


but then again, maybe NOT!


Give out after a long day of playing

It's Funny What Fascinates Kids...

So we went to Wal-Mart this morning and Brandon found Austin some green gloves. Of course after seeing them he just had to have them. Brandon says he looks like Kermit the Frog, but he loves to wear his new gloves.

My Future's So Bright...I Gotta Wear Shades!

After getting Austin ready for bed one night he come into the laundry room with his sunglasses on and telling me "Cool Mama". So I guess this means he thinks he's cool in his shades. I just thought he looked cute!

Potty 101

So we're still working on this potty thing. He loves to "pee-pee" out the door just like Daddy. Hey if it works, that's what we'll do. Of course also like Daddy he likes to read while he's doing his "business".

Look at all these deals they have!



Maybe we need to go to Bass Pro!

Our Little Valentine

Well even though Austin has no clue what Valentine's Day is, he does know that he's getting candy and a "boon" (balloon). So here's a few pictures of "Our Little Valentine".
