A Trip To The Lake

We were able to go up to the lake this weekend and had a great time.

This was Luke's second time to go his first time he was only a couple of months old. He loved running around upstairs and was not to sure about the water. But in this family you don't have a choice! Of course Austin could have stayed in the water from morning to night. He did so good and slept at night-can I get a PRAISE?
(Thank goodness Chad had the idea to take Austin's crib with us so he would sleep)

And we had plenty of entertainment and talking points provided by Summer the entire weekend.

We can't wait to go back!

Love this picture-holding hands with dad!

Ready to go.

Austin smiled the whole time.

The BOYS!

Rudy the mountain lion.

Both boys loved eating at the table.

Summer thinks she is a model.

Life is good at the lake!!!!!!

He Didn't Eat It!

Austin lost his first tooth. We have been waiting for one to fall out. I was standing right next to him when it happened. He tried to chew and swallow it so I did my best to get it out of his mouth without him biting my finger off. The first of many and check out that space. He kept touching it with his finger and tongue the rest of the day.

Summer was so excited that Austin joined her missing tooth club!

Happy 1st Birthday Baby Boy!

We had our family over Saturday after the walk to celebrate Luke's first birthday.

Where did the past year go?

Luke had fun playing with his cousins, opening his presents, hitting the pinata and of course eating cupcakes.

We love you Luke-Happy Birthday!

Austin's Army is Amazing

Every year we are amazed by how many people love and support Austin.

This year our Army was 100 strong and we raised $1,207!!
Whether you donated, came to walk or did both-we are truly grateful for you.
Austin says thank you very much.
We are looking forward to next year.

Summer's Big Night

Last Friday Summer's gymnastics had family night and awards. We were able to go on the floor with Summer and see all she has learned this session. She is doing awesome!!!!! Summer started gymnastics last June and has moved up to the red group which is the third level in preschool.

She had so much fun and enjoyed showing off for us.

The kids spent the whole weekend in our backyard.
They make me laugh with their dirty faces, crazy hair and of course puppy scratches!

Special Olympics

Friday was Challenge Day for all of the Tomball schools. We look forward to this day. Austin, his teachers and therapists work hard on the events all year. This year they had the cheerleaders and band there--Summer and Luke loved that part. Summer got to cheer with the cheerleaders and Luke loves anything with music so they both had a great time.

We were very proud of Austin and how well he did. Austin was happy to see his Grandma, Paw-Paw, Aunt Rosemary and even Trista his bus aide. (we had a big cheering section)

As each school was introduced I saw two boys walking with Austin wearing Austin's Army shirts. I couldn't believe it . They were Ms. Jerri's sons (Austin's PPCD teacher) They had come over from the high school to spend the day with Austin. It made my day!!!!!!
