Build a Bear with Grandma, Mimi and Laci and Calista

Today we got to go to Build a Bear. Mimi and Grandma wanted to take Haley so after her doctors appointment and her 3 shots off we went to Fire wheel! She was very brave she only cried when she got the shots!

We got there a bit before they opened and grandma was already there so Haley of course wanted to go and sit with her. And here is Austin wanting to drive the car!

Poor Austin he did this the lat time we want to build a Bear...rode around in the stroller. Lucky for us Aunt Laci ALWAYS comes prepared. Whenever I need something for the kiddos she always has it...it is amazing, I am not sure how she does it, but I am glad she does! Calista getting her Longhorn stuffed! Uncles Dustin was not pleased with Calistas choice of things to get stuffed but he still loves her inspite of her taste in schools!

Calista also likes Rudolph but he didn't come home with her! Each girl only got one stuffed friend to live with them!

Haley and I making Avery the dogs birth certificate!

Calista is going to love pushing baby Carsyn around when she gets here.

Mimi, Haley, and Grandma after the big adventure. Haley was one happy little camper!

Thanks for the fun day!!!

Some more smores...Please!

Nana and Papa got Hlaey a smore maker for Christmas. She l0ves it. We made some yummy smores. All you do is get all the ingrediants and put it in the microwave.

Christmas Eve

We had so much fun this Christmas Eve. We always start at about 4 at Mammie and Pops house and we get to open one gift from each person. We had a great time and then we headed off to grannys! Where we always have a blast...it is one of my favorite Christmas traditions!All the great grandkids! Except for Beths new addition coming in January, Adriens new one coming in June and Michelles coming in July!

Haley and Drew wearing thier silly glasses!

Wow! This was the second year in a row that Santa has come to grannys . The kids must be really good to deserve a Santa visit. Unfortunately Pops was not able to see Santa again this year, there is always next year. Here is a picture with Haley and Santa!

Austin was so tired...he would crawl around then lay down. Then get up and crawl again!

Fall 2008 home videos

Well, I (Dustin) finally had time to upload some videos I had taken this fall. Here are the highlights:

Sweet Little Austin!

He is 10 months old today!!! Here is a little about him!

He loves... his sister, water (to drink and to play in), attention, to eat real food, to play outside, to put anything in his mouth!

He hates... changing clothes, getting his face cleaned, being told "no", when Haley won't let him play with her or her toys!

He can...stand alone, feed himself food, dance, make a "tart" face, smile on command, clap on command, put his blocxks up when you ask him to "put them up".

Today he took his first step...it was a very small one but it was a step!!!!

His favorite song is Down By the By sung by Haley.

He has 2 teetyh in and 2 more are just poking through!

Here is Austin in the shirt I bought to tell Dustin we were having a boy! It finally fits him!!!

Here he is standing up trying to show off his new skill.
