Austin's Couch

So while we were in Arizona visiting Chris's family. Austin's Uncle Vernon bought him a little kid spiderman couch. It folded out into a bed and it even had a little sleeping bag built into it. Austin LOVED it! He would sit on it and watch his movie, He would climb on it and pull it out into a bed, and he would take naps in it. We left it in Arizona so he would have it there next time he came to visit. When we were telling his other Grandpa about it he wanted to see Austin in it and we didn't have any pictures. So one day Grandpa Todd went to Walmart and what did he come home with? I'll give you one guess...yep thats right a little kid couch. It was Cars instead on Spiderman but it was still the same type of couch. So once again Austin LOVED it! He has been playing in it ever since. He loves to lay in it before he takes his nap and drink his bottle. So here is a picture of Austin sitting in his couch. Thank you Uncle Vernon and Grandpa Todd!

Long Procrastinated Update

Hi everyone! It has been so long since I have posted. I am not very good at keeping up at this. But I am hoping that since the summer is over and our lives are slowing down a little bit I will have more time to keep everyone up to date. So many things have happened since the last post i will just list a few:


1 - Austin is walking!! He took his first steps about a week before he turned 10 months and about a couple weeks after that he was going everywhere! Mommy is having a hard time keeping him out of everything.

2 - Austin has decided its very fun to reload bullets with grandpa todd. He likes to sit on grandpas lap and pull down the lever for grandpa and help measure the gun powder. it is quite funny to watch and it melts his grandpa's heart.

3 - We had an awesome vacation to Arizona to visit Chris's family over Labor Day weekend. Everyone was home except Chris's brother Gordon who lives in New York. It was so fun to see everyone and just spend time together where we don't get to see them that often. Austin was a trooper for the 12 hr drive. On the way down Chris and I took turns driving through the night so Austin slept most of the way. We got to Page about 6:00 am and Austin had the whole family ready to spoil him. He had a blast playing with his grandparents, uncles, and aunt. Austin got very attached to his Grandpa Will and didn't like it when grandpa would leave to go outside. One day he cried when grandpa went to leave so grandpa took him on a walk outside. We took a trip down to Tuba City on the Navajo Reservation so we could get Austin a certificate of indian blood and on the way there were some stop offs where you could see dinosaur tracks. That is what the picture below is of. As for any other pictures we lost the camera after the trip to Tuba City and did not find it until we were packing to go home so unfortunately there are no more pictures of the trip except for the ones Chris's sister Roni took so when I can get them from her I will post them.
