Austyn's first solid food. She isn't too thrilled.

Just some pictures of our happy little girl

It has been awhile since I last updated. Austyn started eating solid foods. We are still on cereal but she isn't enjoying it. She is so spoiled. Colton is getting so big and is so excited for CHristmas. WE went to the Christmas party and Colton and Austyn set on Santa's lap without crying. Wow. Then Saturday I was putting Austyn down for a nap and colton was playing in his room. We keep hearing a strange horn honk and wondered what was going on. Not a second later Colton was knocking on his window shouting Santa. Sure enough Santa was riding around town on a fire truck with little elfs. Colton ran out on our deck and yelled. They stopped the truck and ran him over a candy cane. He was a happy little boy. He thinks this time of year is great. So do we we are so greatful for the Savior and for the little baby Jesus born in a manger. Merry Christmas to everyone.

Happy Halloween

This Halloween we had a blast. We enjoyed going trick-or-treating to grandma and grandpa and nana and pop. Colton got to carve pumpkins along with mom and dad. We had a busy time carving all seven of our pumpkins that grandma gave us.

Winter Wonderland

The middle of October we all woke up to a cloud of white. Colton was so excited. All he could think about was building a "Frosty". So Steven and I bundled up and got Colton ready to go and off we went to build a snowman. We had a great time.

A couple weeks ago it was such a wonderful day after church so we decided to play a little football. We had such a great time. Colton, Steven and Cupcake sure enjoyed the nice weather and Austyn and I had fun being cheerleaders.

Steven & Cupcake trying to get Colton

Last night Colton, Austyn and I rode with Steven hunting. When we got home Austyn was exhausted. Hunting is hard work. Riding around in a pickup eating gets me tired too.

The evil villains

When Steven and I first got married we decided our family would not be pet owners. The first reason is I like cats and Steven can't stand them. The second reason is Steven likes dogs and I can't stand them. Well the end of August I finally let my dislike of dogs stop and we ended up getting Colton a new puppy. Her name is Cupcake. And to tell the truth she is a great friend for Colton. He can go out and just run and play with her.

I told Steven when Austyn gets a little bigger and decides she wants a cat he has to give in.

A fun summer

Getting ready for the parade

Many wonderful things have happened this summer. To start off with we had a sweet little girl join our family and next Colton started using the potty. After we brought Austyn home from the hospital we decided that two in diapers was just too much and Colton was old enough to use the potty. We had tried befor Austyn was born but he was just too stubborn. Every time was a big fight so we just waited. About two weeks after Austyn was born Colton started going to the bathroom. We are so proud of him and more than that we no longer have to buy diapers for two.

Austyn's Blessing
