September Picture Posting and Catching Up

We made a trip to the zoo with some friends and found some cut cutouts to pose in.  Austin is my little squirrel.

Now he's my little cowpoke.

Austin cruising the driveway at Granny and PaPa's beach house on Labor Day.

Somebody likes mini-fudge stripe cookies!

ALOT!

PJ time with friend Andrew.  They match.  Lisa and I do too much shopping from the same places.

Trying out our new pj's for Halloween!

Be afraid!  Be very afraid!

I'm pretty sure we have a runner on our hands.

Playing outside with daddy.

Here I am!

Boo!

I think I can!

And I did!

Helping with some chores.  This kid LOVES a broom.

Now this is how you water the yard.

Porch Jail

All dressed for our recheck at the doctor and then a lunch date with Kara.

I know you all really look at this for the pictures so I'll try to keep it short.  Sam wasn't able to go with us to the beach for Labor Day because he was at an air show in West Virginia.  My grandparents were able to come up and visit him for the day and they finally got their flag that Sam fly over Iraq last year.  Other than that, September has been pretty uneventful and time has flown by.

Austin is back in the swing of things at day care and bringing home all the germs to share.  I'm working my way through my MBA classes still and so is Sam.  Sam is hopefully going to finish his lead upgrade training sometime soon and then we will be gearing up for another deployment.  Surprise, surprise, right?!

That's about it.  We will be making another trip to Granny's this weekend so I can put on a bridal shower in Austin for my best friend Presley.  The following weekend is the air show at LRAFB and we are also planning a trip to the pumpkin patch with Lisa and Andrew.  Then it will be Halloween before you know it!

Hope September was as good to you as it was to us!  See you in October!

Myrtle Beach Pictures

We met the family this year at Myrtle Beach for our week long vacation.  Here are a few pictures of the Monster.

He made us chase him all over the beach.

Playing with the toys in the sand.

Watch out!

Here I come!

Giggles with Mommy.

I'll get you G.G.!

When all else fails, ask Great-Granddaddy!

Rocking on John Ave.

Picture Update 2

Aug 2nd - First attempt at dinner with a fork.  Messy to say the least.

Getting the hang of it.

Straight to the tub for a new hairdo.

Wild man

 Aug 5th - Cowboy hat.  This one had to go back to the store.  It wasn't made of the right material to stand up to Austin's handling.

Aug 7th - Watching a movie on his nap mat.

Aug 15th - Listening to some tunes with Daddy.

Aug 19th -  Pooped out after day 2 at day care.  Time to watch a movie and have a snack.

Aug 22nd - This morning while I'm trying to do this :)

Picture update

One Year Pictures with Big Boy Haircut

In case you missed this on Facebook, a baby deer decided to hang out in our flower bed at the end of June.  It stayed there for about an hour before moving on.  Austin got to watch it through the front window.  It was sweet.

July 19th - I made Austin a hat for the winter.  This was before I put two buttons on it.  He's such a cute baby model.

July 20th - Here's the Monster and his master piece.  He loves to color.  Ok, so he did at first and now he likes to try to eat the crayons.  Good thing they are non-toxic.

I need my dad to send me some Myrtle Beach pictures.  Stand-by.

I'm back

I know that I am terribly behind and I apologize.  I have no pictures to put up right now.  We went to Myrtle Beach for  the week including the 4th of July.  Other than that, we haven't done any traveling.  Austin has started back to daycare and is in the toddler room.  He was bitten the first day, but no marks or anything.  He seems to be okay with it and happy when I pick him up.  I watch him through the window for a few minutes before I let him know that I'm there.  He also peed on his potty for the first time this weekend.  It was Friday night and I was at a friend's birthday dinner so I missed it.  It was just before bath and the naked baby was running the house.  He was playing on his potty in the bathroom when Sam told him to go potty and he DID!  It hasn't happened since, but it was pretty neat.  And that's really the first FIRST that Sam has gotten to experience.  Well, I'm going to try to round up some pictures and get us caught up.  Sorry it's taken so long.  The summer was pretty busy.
