Sunday Fun

Sunday mommy and daddy took me to the Natural Science Museum. It was our first time to go and I had a great time. I terrorized some fish and snakes. Ran around like a heathen. Played in the toddler room. And touched absolutley everything in the gift shop. I even pitched one ugly fit when they tried to get me back in the car. Anyways all in all it was a good trip. I wonder what other things are out there that they are hiding from me? Here are somne pics from the fun!!

I really didn't want to sit on the frog, but they wouldn't listen. So I wasn't gonna smile!

Outside! Outside! Outside! Need I say more!!

Just chillin in front of the fish tank.

Showing mommy the turtle!

What a Day!!!

On Monday mommy basically tried to get me to the point of complete exhaustion. It all started at 8am when we headed to the courthouse for an hour of nusery (mommy working out and me terrorizing the kids club upsatirs) then we ran home mommy changed and out the door we went to storytime at 1015am. Above is me at storytime looking at mommy like she has lost her mind if she thinks I am gonna shake my egg like the song says.

Alos here I am actually sitting and listening to the story. I usually choose to explore / climb while all the other kids are sitting but today I decided to join them and see what all the hype was about. Anyways it was actually a pretty good book and mommy was proud I sat still til almost the last page.

Then if nursery and storytime weren't enough we had a playdate at the park with Zachary. It was cloudy at first and then out came the sun and we had a great time.

Zachary's smart mommy packed sand toys and though we didn't so much play with them together, we didn't fight over them either. It was a very fun day and I think I wore mommy out just as bad as I was.

So here we come to the end. Two red cheeked (the sun actually came out the whole time we were there) and overly tire little boys. I slept like a baby (but i am a big boy)!! Hope zach had a great time too!!

A note from mommy..

Well I had a not so good day at work and just wanted to thank God that I have this amazing blessing to come home to everyday. He is the joy in my heart as soon as I open my eyes in the morning, and the smile on my face when I close them at night. He has brought more to my life than words can express and I look forward to what each day brings. Just wanted to say thank you God for this wonderful blessing. And to all the Mommy's out there and mommy's to be. Hold your babies tight, tell them you love them, show them you love them, and thank God everyday for the blessing you have been given. For I unfortunately have seen far to often how quickly it can be taken away.

Austin's First Snow

A few weeks ago my mommy and papa lou took me to Nashville to see some of my papa's family. It was a great trip and mommy got to visit with aunt Karla. Anyways I was suych a good sport, and went with the flow. It did though happen to be the one week it decided to snow over 12 inches in TN, which made for a long drive home ( = 9.5 hours). Papa Lou got us home safe and sound though just like he promised. Anyways here are a few pictures. Above is me showing Aunt Dot ( papa's aunt) how to use somethinh she had sitting in a basket by her chair.

Here is me and uncle danny (papa's brother) checkin out my cuzin Tommy's police car. I got to turn on the lights and the sirens. Mommy said that better be the only time I am in a police car.

And here is the snow. This is one of the thirty or so cars we saw covered in it along the highway. We stopped at a gas station once and mommy fell outside b/c of all the ice. She wouldn't let me play in it though. It was 29 degrees so they wouldn't let me out of the car.

More Snow. Almost a foot along the interstate.

And me getting awfully restless. Mommy was snapping photos but it was getting me a little mad. I took a nap hoping to pass the time but when I woke up 2 hours later we had only one like 30 miles. Don't understand, but it was making mommy quite ansy!!!
