Our wonderful week..

This week we did a lot of this..

built a castle with daddy

took cool autumn walks with mommy

saw some "dangles" ( aka triangles)

had tacos for the FIRST time ever

Austin ate THREE!! he loved them!!

played in the leaves with 'pooh'

climbed trees

had a lot of fun

And tonight we had our first snow flurry
To say Austin was thrilled would be the BIGGEST understatement of the century!!

he was SUPER thrilled!!

look at this smile!!!

I went back on Saturday to visit baby Kiera, and she was under the lights, but as of today she is doing a lot better, off the lights ( I think) and they are talking about transferring her to Lewiston..

She is gorgeous!!

That's our motto

This weekend was long, and hot, and jam packed.. In all the right ways too..

With a forcast of all rain, all weekend, it was pretty ambitious to have Keiths family visit, and to throw a cookout. But God had something else in mind. He blessed us with blue skies, hot days, cool nights and fun times.. Thank you Lord.

They arrived on Friday night, after the daycare party, and stayed until early this morning.

We got up every morning, had a good breakfast( thanks to my hubby), did fun things ALL day, stayed up late playing games at night, and doing it all over for three days straight. Austin had a blast, and was quite the little tropper for us.

Bear with me, in my lack of posts, I am cramming for my insuranse exam hoping againest hope I can pass, so June 7th, make sure to pray for me!! :)

anyhoo..

May was a month, of mostly rain! Some sun here and there, however the general forcast was RAIN!!!

So, after 10 days of nothing but crop-growing-wet-stuff, We had sun, and 80 degree temps. and my girlfriend and I, did not hesitate to take advantage of it.

So, we packed up our kids and headed to the beach. Where we not only found a deserted beach and playground just for the taking, but we also found a texas-size black flys nest*

* dont worry you out-of staters, your not missing anything with black flies

we got eaten up, and had to leave after about an hour.
BUT! We had a lot of fun!!

He has  ZERO hesitations about water
( also pronnounces " YABBA")

Playing on the beach

Baby Jasmyn

Say: "EEE"

Austin's favorite thing at the playground
as Jordyn would say: the swing!
LOL

After the beach I thought it would be fun to get pulled over, so I got that over with and then went to Nana's to play with "eddie" ( mckenzie) and " ee-um" ( Liam) ..

Yesturday we spent alll day at Meme's house.

We were throwing Nany a surprise party...

luckily Meme has a screen house
can you say: NO BLACK FLYS?

So many pretty flowers in bloom (more to come)





Apple blossums we picked.. and forgot to take home
( you know me)


Nany and keke finally made an appearence and we had a blsat with the boys..

What a great Week!

Today is our Teddy Bear party at daycare!!!

Mothers Day Weekend

This past weekend Keith and gramp found these cute little guys.

puppy Foxes

cute little pups

They are cute. BUT. only from afar. Its nerve racking with a little, and a friendly doggie around, being around a protective mother fox, but they are far enough away that Austin doesnt go up by himself, and neither does the dog.

They are cute to look at, and we didnt even point them out to Austin at all, just in pictures.. Didnt want him running up to them. ( I doubt he would)


But, while this was going on, I was feeling productive cleaning our carpets, and Keith helped Rus sheet rock. Keith has gone almost 4 weeks now without any ciggs. Which just means all he does is eat, and move.move.move..
Dont ge tme wrong I love it.. ( not in a gross way..winkwink)
We have gotten so much done.

I even made THREE rhubarb banana cobblers..

Then, we were going to go to the petting zoo in town, but it was really looking sort of thunder-y and storm-y
So we did this instead..

And you wanna talk about a proud daddy?
Just watch him teach his son to fish, and watch hi ACTUALLY do it..

So amazing to see.

Our son is growing so fast, and getting so much smarter and indendent as each day passes.

I have had some promising job stuff. And have really gained ALOT of ground on our book ( hope to be 'published' by Christmas)

Not to mention, I LOVE, and Austin LOVES going to nana's and Papa's almost each day, playing with Kids and doing lots of work..

Fun.fun.fun
