Growing uo TOO Fast

Well all I can say is they really do grow up too fast. Austin went for his 18 month check up ( a month and a half late) but anyways we are 50% height and 50% weight, healthy and done with shots for a while. Yeah!! He is getting bigger everyday, saying more and more words and LOVES BASEBALL. He only wants to play with his baseball toys. We decided to do his big boy room in sports and got some cute stuff for it this weekend. He got so excited and just kept yelling baseball!! Anyways he also recently got his 5th haircut (only secod at a real haircut salon) and they did a great job especially since he was not very cooperative. I wanted to get some pics but literally we were holding him down and the camera idea went out the window!! Anyways we are all good enjoying this phase (except the tantrums). Here are some pics over the past week! Above is austin post ice cream sandwhich doing his thinking pose from Blue's Clues-- too cute!

My sweet baby pre haircut! He knows just how to melt his mommy's heart!

Saying cheese for the camera!

Post haircut looking so grown up!!

Easily Amused

Okay so I have discovered this place in Ridgeland where you can go drink wine and paint. I love it. It is called Easily Amused and it is a fun outing that I conned my mom and husband into going to and they loved it. My mom and I painted the cross you see above and they went step by step over how to paint it. It was great. Corey and I went with some frinds of ours to date night and got to do Picasso style portraits of each other. It was so funny and the gys were great sports. Here are some pics from my nights there, I am sure there will be many other nghts!

Mom and me ready to paint!!

The guys were such good sports!! We just told them they got to BYOB and they were in!!

Our Picasso style portraits of each other!! It was kinda hard b/c they gave not much direction!!

Need a Smile =)

Well I am home sick today with strep throat and am laying in bed something I don't do well so I decided to post a few pics from the past week. Austin's newest nontoy obsession is the water hose. He thinks it is hilarious to get water on you. So now when we are outside he runs up the water bill quite well and gives our entire driveway a good wash down. Oh well he loves it. We also went to the Natural Science Musuem for the Monsters Under the Sea exhibit with his bud Hayes and his mom. We had a great time!! Hope you enjoy. Seeing pic of him always makes me smile =).

Austin watching Hayes try to escape from the tree house at the Musuem!

Our pro tee ball player. He is really good and is now learning to "run" the bases!! Can't wait to sign him up for t-ball lessons!!

Playing in the Playhouse at the musuem w/ me!! We are best buds!! He was so sweet at the doctors yesterday and would cry anytime they touched me to get my blood pressure or temperature. He would give them this look like don't touch my mommy again!! Oh how sweet little boys are to their mommies!

Loving the water hose! Looks like he might follow in his daddies foot steps a little!

Summer Fun at the Splash Pad

So today we went to Shiloh Park Splash pad and had a great time. It is perfect fun for this age and younger. It is a basketball court size slab of concrete with water spraying toys everywhere. Austin and Hayes made it 2 hours and probably would have gone longer if daddy didn't have to leave. Anyways it was so much fun and we will be getting a season pass! Here are a few pictures of ther fun and tonight we are headed to the new Chuck e Cheeses!! Life is so much fun with a toddler!!

If you can see his face there is a huge smile on it, but the slide went fast so it was hard to get a picture!!

Austin and Hayes of course to cool to actually play with each other but they are almost always playing near each other!!

What a Difference a Year makes!!

Okay so at the Braves game I realized how fast the past year had gone by!! We took austin to his first braves game on the 4th of July last year and he did great. Now a year later here he is showing me how a big boy eats his own hot dog!! Oh the time goes by WAY TOO FAST!!!

Rounds 2, 3, 4, and 5!!!

Well continuing our fourth of july weekend fun we went to the pool sat morning and made it through to lunch. We then headed home and hoped austin would get a good nap in prior to the Braves game that afternoon (he did). Anyways the game was great, the Braves won, and once again the boys made it to the end to watch the fireworks at 10:30pm what troopers!! It was a great time and we were all pooped. So austin slept til 9 am sunday morning which is unheard of around our house. We then took him on his first boat ride out to flag island to meet up with his buddy zach. He loved the rife, loved flag island, HATED the life jacket. Oh well safety first! We headed home after lunch for naptime which he deided not to take and then that afternoon went to gigi and papa's for some BBQ. Corey and I decided to sneak off to a movie since he was in good hands. I think we are all still recovering from the weekend and Austin has been sleeping well after his usual 7 am wake up. So another great 4th of Juky weekend!! Here are a few pics of the fun!!

Another sweaty night at the Braves Game!!

Staying hydrated with mommy's water!!

Round One

At like 9:40 pm he was all smiles and still ready for fun !!
Me and old buddy Hayes!!

Well this weekend we have alot of fun things planned and it all kicked off tonight with the Balloonfest at Ridgeland. Austin did great! They were jumps and slides for the kids as well as music and food an fireworks. Ausitn had a good time and passed out quickly in the car ride home. We also ran into his buddy Hayes while we were there. So round one was a success, and we'll have to see how round 2 (fourth of july pool party) and round 3 (Braves game) go!!!
