Yogi Bear Park 2009

This past weekend we took austin to Yogi Bear Park with his buddy zachary and his family. We had a great time. We camped in a cozy little cabin and the park had activites for the kids all weekend. Friday night we did a hay ride tour of the park and had the option of an outdoor movie but it was ghostbusters and we weren't sure it would quite keep their attention plus it was chilly. Sat. morning we met yogi at the flag pole to kick off the day. We enjoyed crafts in the clubhouse all day, putt putt golf, playing on the playground, and that night they had a halloween carnival and trick or treating for the kids. It was a really good time and they boys were all smiles most of the time. So we can't wait to go back. We are already planning a spring/summer trip when it warms up b/c they have a great splash pad and boats and water activities.Friday night we got the "tuck in" service where yogi comes to your cabin and visits for a few minutes and brings the kids milk and cookies. There faces were too cute. They gave Yogi some good high fives but weren't too sure about hugging yet!

Keeping their distance at first on the golf cart.


Checking out yogi!

Trying to figure out what is going on!

Riding on the back of the golf cart with the mommies!

Okay so one on the perks of our cbains was a remote control "fireplace" (for looks only). The boys would blow at the fireplace and corey or brett would turn it off and they would think they blew it out. This had them entertained for a while. Sat. night we decided it probably wasn't a good idea when we were waiting for the haunted trail in front of a huge REAL bonfire and they were trying to blow it out!

About to go on the hayride!


Giving Yogi high five sat morning at the flag pole!

Showing mommy the ball after he ran down and placed the ball in the whole for a hole in one.

First craft of the day making Yogi bear masks! Austin loves to color!

Another craft was painting pottery. Austin accidentally broke the pumpkin he was going to paint so we opted for a car. He did really good but by the end he found his favorite color black and basically covered all his pretty artwork with globs of black paint. Oh well he did it all by himself!


Their masterpieces austin did the car and zach did the pumpkin!

Just a sweet picture all bundled up in the cold =)!

Ready to go trick or treating and to the carnival!
Our future sports stars!

Doing the monster walk!

Having so much fun he broke out in dance during the carnival to the monster mash!!

Throwing something during one of the carnival games. Almost all involved throwing something so he was in heaven!

Getting this trick or treating thing down!
He is even holding up his pumpkin for her to put the candy in!

Fair 2009

Well another Fair has come and gone and as expected austin LOVED it, all three times. Corey and I took him one night and then we went with grandparents the other two times. Each year is more and more fun and exciting as he gets to do more. This year he could ride a few rides all by himself and many others with corey and I. His absolute favorite was the BIG yellow slide. This child has no FEAR at all. Anyways he loved it all three times. We can't wait for next year. He brings so much fun and joy to our lives and we are loving every minute of it. It just goes by two fast. I can't believe my baby is almost TWO!! Above is austin having a serious conversation with a greedy goat!

Nascar Bound!

First two times they wouldn't let him ride this b/c he wasn't tall enough but with his hats on he got enough height and finally got on!!

Austin and mommy on the ship, this went a little wild for a kiddie ride!

All smiles at the bottom of the big yellow slide!

Driving solo in the blue jeep, and yes it was cold enoug for two hats!

Sneak Peek

Just a sneak peek of Austin's Halloween costume for Gigi and Papa. He is absolutely OBSESSED with baseball and since their are no baseball player costumes in his size we had to make our own so here is our work in progress. We are going to Jellystone Park next weekend to "camp" out (air conditioning, full bathroom, and satellite TV involved). There is supposed to be a full weekend of Halloween activities so we are getting are costume all ready before we go. Anyways I am sure there will be many more pictures to follow!

Bored at Home

Okay so weather has been pretty cruddy around here and when you are home all day with a toddler you have to get creative. So what does mommy do....turn the den into a campsite with our very own tent!!!!
Checking out the roof.... which we even got so creative as to put stars that glow on the roof . He also has a machine that projects images on the ceiling and we put them on the roof of the tent!!!
He had so much fun he even dragged his pillow out at nap time and slept in the tent!

Playing with his toys in his tent.... this is the first thing I think that didn't lose his interest in under 5 minutes!


Future Bulldog

Okay so a few weekends ago Corey and I took Austin to his first MSU football game with my parents. The weather didn't cooperate at first but things improved early in the first quarter. So anyone who knows our child knows he is obsessed with sports, so as expected he did great! Also it was the first time Corey and I have been back to starkvegas together since we graduated!! It was a great game against LSU and we only lost by inches!!! Oh well they played good. Above is a picture of us winning in the first quarter - I took it just in case it got ugly- I wanted proof we were beating LSU at one point =). Again thanks Gigi & Papa we had a great time!!

. Austin tailgating in the back of the car before the game b/c it was raining!!

Supporting the Dawgs with Gigi and Papa!


Eating some popcorn... but he also ate pizza, m&ms, nachos, hot dog, sucker and fruit snacks!
WOW
Mommy and Daddy-- bringing back memories.. we met at STATE in Jan 2002!

So proud of his bulldogs.. all he needed was a cowbell!

Last three minutes of the game and he passed out... not to mention these were the most intense and loudest three minutes of the game
Our baby can sleep anywhere!

He woke up on the way home and kicked back in his seat watching Shrek!!!
Such a hard life of a toddler!!!!
