Vacation Day 2

Calista got to ride around with us today while Mr. Austin rode in Aunt Laci and Uncle Jeffs car.

First thing we did was ride the train! It was a lot of fun, we saw a lot of wild deer roaming . The kids really enjoyed it!!!

Here is Mimi and Carsyn! Carsyn was so good the whole vacation she was a trooper in the heat!

Daddy and his buddy Austin!

After the train ride we went to lunch and off the boys went to kyak. Mimi, being the brave person she is told Laci, Krystal, and I to go shopping and she would watch all of the kiddos. So she didn't have to tell us twice...off we went. We went shopping for Jacks room and I got a lot of cute things. We also bought some very good fresh fudge!!! We were not worried how the kids would be when we got back but we were glad to see that Mimi was ok....they hadn't ties her up or anything. Our kids can be pretty crazy when they are having fun!

Vacation to Broken Bow: DAY 1

The day was finally here! We left for Broken Bow, Oklahoma where we would be sharing a cabin with Mimi, Gramps, Laci, Jeff, Krystal, Calista, and Carsyn for a few action packed days. Here is Day 1!

We got there about 3 in the afternoon, we unloaded all of our gear. Let me just say you have a lot less gear when you have no kids :) Our car was packed with all kinds of things. Then we decided to head over to Beavers Bend to the swim pool part of the river. Daddy adn Gramps went hiking, everyone else stayed back and swam.

Here is Austin and Calista enjoying the porch of the cabin and being out of the car for a few minutes.

We also went paddle boating with is quite an experience 8 months pregnant :) I went with Krystal and Austin, Laci went with Haley, and Jeff was with Calista! The veiw was beautiful there.

Austin loved the water!
Calista also had a good time playing in the cold water!

Our Chunky Monkey!

Here he is!!! Jack Tyler has a heartbeat of 140 bpm. He has a lot of hair on the back of his head and he has very chunky cheeks! All three of these pictures are of his face. They are estimating that he is already5.8 lbs. I have about 5 1/2 weeks until my actual due date but only 4 weeks until my scheduled c-section so we will see how big he gets! I go back to the doctor next Tuesday.

Jack's face. Where the arrow is is pointing almost at his lips. You can really see his round cheeks!

Here is the same shot but at the top of the picture next to his eye you can see his hand sitting on his head!

Sucking his thumb!!!

Happy 4th of July

We had a great 4th of July! This year both kids loved the fireworks. Austin has no fear. A firework would go off and Austin would just clap and smile! Granny rented a big water slide this year that Haley loved and Austin was very sad that he couldn't do!

Haley loved picking out her fireworks with Daddy this year! She was so excited!Anything that she can do with her Daddy she loves!
Austin ready to party!

Everytime Austin would pass a speaker playing music he wouldd stop and dance :)

Austin loved Aunite Pams root beer slush she made! Yummy!

Haley thought that she had the coolest PopPops because he went down the water slide. She thought it was very cool!

Austin loved playing on all of the tractors.

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY! I HOPE YOUR DAY WAS GREAT!

Lets hear it for the boys!!!!

Yesterday and today Dustin has been a very busy boy!!! Yesterday he and Marcus planted 3 large trees. It doesn't look like a big deal but they were pretty heavy and they needed big holes. They are all 3 liveoaks, I think. Thank you Mracus for spending the day with Dustin getting the trees put in and getting the wood for the cover of our patio.And today from 7:30-4:30 Matt, a high school friend of Dustins, came over and helped Dustin build the cover... they got it all built in one day...wow! Dustin is currently working on putting the roof (shingles) on. Then we will stain/seal the wood and Dustin will run the electricity for our 2 fans. It should be a very nice hangout when it is all complete. After it is all done we will of course have to buy new patio furniture to complete the area :) Then we will have somewhere to sit, out of the sun, when Jack arrives!

One very tired worker bee.

Thanks to all of our helpers we could not have done it with out you!!

Baby Jack

Unless something comes up Baby Jack will be making his debut on August 7th at 7:30am. I have a sono this Monday at 12 to see how big the chunky boy is, so I will repost then with any new information on Jack Tyler.

Swimming Lessons

Before heading out for swim lessons. Still in Pj's.

Austin played in the kiddie pool while Haley did her lessons. He enjoyed pulling all the june bugs out of it and putting them on the concrete:) He is all boy! Haley ready to swim!
