Mowing the Lawn

Austin has loved mowing the lawn with Grandpa Todd this summer. I took this picture a few weeks ago and I love it!

The Zoo

On our way back from Arizona we stayed in Salt Lake and took Austin to the zoo. His favorite animals were the meerkats. He got so excited watching them run around. He would just giggle and chase them back and forth across the window. He also liked the zebras and the elephants. He took a ride on the carousel and the train. The carousel he wasn't crazy about but the train was a whole different story. After the ride was over and the train stopped everyone was getting off but Austin wouldn't budge. He sat there gripping the handles not wanting to get off. It took both Chris and I to pry him off and he kept saying "choo choo! choo choo!". It took a little while to get him out but there was no tempertantrum or major meltdown thank goodness:). It was so fun to watch Austin get so excited about the things he saw. I think Chris and I almost had more fun them him. It so amazing to watch everything through Austin's eyes. It makes me appreciate the little things that as adults we sometimes take for granted. Thank you my sweet boy!

Arizona and Graduation

So I have been a real slacker and haven't updated the blog in a REALLY long time. But in my defense we have been very busy the last month and a half. In the middle of May we took a trip to Arizona to go to Chris's little brother Jeremy's graduation. He was the last of the siblings to graduate high school. It was so fun to see all the family and watch Jeremy. The graduation was really nice. Austin was a really good boy but got tuckered out and didn't make it through the whole thing. On Sunday there was Seminary graduation where Jeremy gave an awesome talk. We were really proud of him!

Austin had a blast playing with all his uncles, his auntie, and grandma and grandpa. Gordon, Chris's brother that lives in New York was able to come. Austin hadn't seen him in a year but he warmed up to his uncle Gordon pretty fast.

We had such a good time and wished the trip could have lasted a little longer.
