Christmas with Nanny and Poppy

Ok this was our last Christmas for this year. Chad's parents came in on Friday so we celebrated with them. Austin loved getting into the presents before we opened them. It was so exciting for Austin he decided to stay up until midnight. Boy were Nanny and mommy tired!

Have a Happy New Year!

Christmas at Grandma and Papa's

This year I asked for clothes for Austin and here is what he received
11 shirts
6 pairs of pants
6 pairs of shorts
1 jacket
2 pairs of PJ'S
He now has a whole new wardrobe!
We went to my mom and dad's today-It was nice to spend time with everyone and watch the kids open their presents. They are all so well behaved it shows what good parents my and sisters/brother-in-laws are.

Once again our family has blessed us. Love you all

Merry Christmas

We spent Christmas Eve at Nanny Black's. As you can see they got him a roller coaster. He loves it and could stay on it for hours. Good thing the battery lasts that long. Now it is in the middle of our living room! When he woke up this morning it was the first thing he wanted to do. I will post more pictures after we have Christmas with Grandma/Papa and Nanny/Poppy.

Christmas Cards-Not Going to Happen!

I wanted to take Austin's pictures myself for Christmas cards. As you can see that is not going to happen this year. He gets so excited when he sees the camera and of course he won't sit still.

So here is our Merry Christmas post/card.

Merry Christmas

We love you all!

Chad, Ashley and Austin

I Love To Feed Myself

For about two weeks now Austin has decided he is going to feed himself. The only problem is that he misses his mouth most of the time. That is why he is eating dinner in a diaper. Look at him trying to get those toys down-no matter what is up there it has to come down.

TRICK OR TREAT

The pictures say it all!

He loved every minute of it.

Pumpkin Patch

I took Austin to a pumpkin patch on Saturday and he had a blast. He found a little pumpkin and held on to it until we left. He kept trying to eat it! Every time a person would walk by he would yell becasue he was so excited or maybe he was protecting his pumpkin.

Holmes Family Reunion

My cousin took these pictures at the reunion and I had to share them. Thank you Julie! We had a great time of course Austin had a melt down before and during the family picture. I think he was crying because his Aunt Jenn, Uncle Wes and Aunt Michelle were not there! ( love you guys) He loved the great-grandkid picture because he got to sit in the grass.

A New Blessing

For those of you who didn't know I had some complications on Monday with my pregnancy and was put on bed rest this whole week. Boy was that interesting. Thanks to my wonderful husband and parents I was able to recover and I am back on my feet. We saw a specialist today and he said all is well. I know that God was in control and all of your prayers helped. As he left the room he said-Oh by the way do you want to know what it is and we were shocked because I am only 14 weeks. He said 95% sure it is a GIRL. We are excited but will wait four more weeks when it is confirmed before we go girl crazy.

CRIKEY

Well Austin got a BAD haircut the day before his 18 month old pictures. Uncle B and daddy were calling him Steve Irwin. Austin thought it was funny. Too bad we had to cancel the pictures!

Yummy!

Austin has finally had donuts and chocolate milk. He loves them both and makes sure he drinks all of the milk and puts the leftover donuts in his hair for later. I have a feeling this will turn into a Saturday morning treat.

Are you ready for some football?

Austin and Chad got all dressed up for the Longhorn game on Saturday. Austin did not enjoy wearing a hat but we tried to keep it on him. He stayed in the garage and watched the game with the boys. He loves sports nights. And yes they dressed up for Thursday game also Go Pittsburgh!
