I LOVE my life!

It is an awesome feeling to step back from all of the craziness and chaos and just look at all God has given. Wow! It is incredible I have a great, hard working husband, 3 beautiful and healthy kids, an extended family that would do anything for us, a job I love, and great friends that I really miss not seeing everyday. I hope that today you will step back and take a look at your life and thank God for it! Here are some snapshots from the last week of what is going on at our house.

Here is a Jack hanging out on the floor!

Haley loves Jack!

Austin showing off how he eats his eggs with a spoon! Smart boy!!!

AUSTIN WAYNE

Austin went to the doctor today for his 18month checkup. He is so smart that he started vrying when the nurse came out in the waiting room and said "Austin" and he didn't stop crying until we walked out of the doctors office. It made for a very long 40 minutes! Anyways, here are his stats

21 lbs. 1 ounce 3rd percentile

32" 36th percentile

48.5cm 97th percentile

He had to get 2 shots and a flu shot.

And then we got a perscription for an epi pen for his ant allergy because 60% of the time the next time you get bite the reaction gets worse.

We also get to go to an allergist next Thursday for a 3-4 hour test to see if it was the ants or if it was something else that he was allergic to.
I hope he doesn't scream though that whole visit. On the upside of today both boys have been asleep since 1 and it is now 3:15. Also, Haley is now a big girl so she doesn't need naps...so instead of napping she cleans her room and does a few chores and then she get to watch tv for a little while (she thinks she is so lucky to be able to clean instead of sleep) It is great!!!

HAPPY FRIDAY!

Build a Bear and my boys!

My sweet little boys! Austin loves to rub on Jack, give him his, paci, hold him, and give kisses! Austin giving Jack a Kiss!

Sweet Jack

Here Jack is smiling because he is all warm and cozy all swaddled up. He sleeps so good when he is wrapped up very tight!

Sorry theses next few are out of order so you will need to start at the bottom ifyou want to go in order. After Haleys first day of school we loaded up all of the kids and headed to BUILD A BEAR!

Daddy and Jack!

Then we took the kids to the small playground by build a bear and let them play for 15 minutes.

Haley and Leah...she had to get the sleeping beauty dress. They had so many cuter outfits but that is what she wanted :)

Haley cleaning up her bear!

Austin showed no intrest in the bears so we didn't waste our money. He just ran around the store pushing the stroller.

Stuffing her bear.

She picked out her bear...we went becuase they were having a sale 29.99 for the bear, outfit, and shoes. Not cheap but for build a bear it isn't bad.

I just thought this was cute of Austin taking his nap!

Haley's First Day of Pre-k

Today was Haleys first day of school! I got to take her which was really great for me...Daddy has some fun things planned for Haley when he comes home if she was a good girl at school.

Here is a picture of Haley one year ago at her first day of Weekday school. She looks a little different.This morning it was still dark when I woke her up and she said "I didn't know that school was at night" :) Here she is after I convinced her that school was in the morning and that it would be bright outside when we left. We cooked some little cinnamon rolls this morning!
With her new backpack and all ready for school.


Daddy and Haley ready for school.

She picked out her backpack herself.

Haley with Austin. If you look closely at Austins leg you can see it is swollen. Apparently he is allergic to ants. He got bit last night and his lips swelled and his ears turned bright red and itchy and he broke out in hives. After some benedryl he was fine.

Getting out of the car at school.

Haley in front of her big new school.

More posts after school today

Summer is over :(

Haley thought that it would be fun to dress Austin in her clothes and of course Austin will do anythung his sister wats and so this is what he looked like. This is Haleys shirt and shorts :) It is funny becuase he really looks a alot like Haley when she was 2 :)


Meet the Teacher at School
Haley was very excited about going to meeet her PRE-K teacher. It is hard to believe she is old enough to start big girl school! Dad was in charge of taking her since I was meeting my students in my room. There are not many pictures but we will get lots tommorow for her first day !!!



Haley standing outside her room! She can't wait to go tommorow!

Jack

Here is a picture of my chunky Jack...so cute! He is a really great baby! Jacks first piece of mail, his social security card.

Playing on his mat in his cute shoes from the Payne family!

Awesome Austin

Yesterday Austin was 18months old! Wow. He started out his life so peaceful and calm...I remember these days well! He would just lay in my arms so sweet and now.... he is all over the place!
Here he pulled a tub of toys up to Jacks pack n play to stand on so he could get in!

Here he just hoisted himself up into Jacks swing!

Here he found our winter gear and put it all on.

And here he is, my little sweet Austin, in bed going to sleep. He is really good at going to sleep at night because he is such a busy little thing. This is a picture I took of the monitor, he is actually awake laying there. We had to take a picture becuase it is not often that Austin is so still for so long :) I love my Austin even when he is crazy!
