Austin

Austin had a great year at school this year. He loved his teacher and making new friends. He kept begging me to ride the school bus and eat brakfast at school so I finally let him and I think that it spoiled me. I decided to keep some of the memorable things that he did at school this year but a lot of the artwork was just too big and getting too handled too much so I decided to just take a picture of it, so here it is...

He was in the Fruitland Spring Fair this year and was soooo excited to be in the parade. Here are some of him singing and some of the parade. The theme this year was Dr. Suess Is Loose In Fruitland and the Kindergarten kids were The Cat, In The Hat Turns Orange and Black. It was cute...

He obviously got toothless this year...

And this is Austin during our family trip to Preston. Austin loves it here. He is such a free spirit and here at Grandma's farm, he can roam and play with the animals. His favorite horse is and old horse of the family's named Brownie. The day that we were leaving, he made his mom and dad cry as he had to pet each horse and talk to each one and tell each one goodbye with little tears in his eyes. It broke our hearts. The last picture of the baby horse was actually born the day that we got there.

Which is which?

Lets see who can get it right?

Catch some rays today?

.....apparently WE did!



OOOOHHHHH! My poor baby!
So we were at the park the first couple of hours of the afternoon and I brought hats and Jake just kept taking his off. After the first couple of times of him taking it off I just didn't worry about it. Apparently I do need to! After the park we spent the rest of the afternoon and evening working in the yard. It wasn't until I was just about done mowing the lawn that I noticed poor Jakey's skin. Later in the evening I went to scratch an itch that I had on my arm and just about went through the roof. I also got some rays. I guess it is already time to break out the sunscreen!

Easter 2009

We had nontraditional easter baskets this year. We loved these little wagons! We thought they made perfect easter baskets! The Easter Bunny still found them to put candy in! We had a good Easter and hope yours was wonderful as well!

Stuart Little

A couple of months ago we rearranged the house a little bit and we have all three boys sleeping in one room. This has actually worked much better than I had anticipated. The boys like to be read to before they go bed but I was really having a hard time getting them altogether to read and I was tired of reading the same book three times because they would each pick the same book. So I finally decided that since they are all in the same room, that I would read to them after they were in their beds. THEY LOVE IT! It also helps them calm down and they get the time that they want with mom.

We have quite a few books, short kid stories, but I decided to start a longer book to see how they would do with it. I saw Stuart Little and decided with that one. They have had so much fun listening to the story line and I am surprised at how much they understand. Jeffrey asks lots of questions which is good, it lets me know he is listening. Austin is VERY good at remembering what chapter we are on. Jake likes to just babble in his crib. :) We are having a very good time with this. We will let you know what our next book is!
