Mother's Day....plus two extras

We hope everyone enjoyed their Mother's Day. It was my first, so i definantly enjoyed it! John took all of us (including bailey) to Honeymoon Island for a morning at the beach which was really nice. He also made me a great homecooked breakfast and dinner. What a great husband and kids I have! Thank you- I had a fun day!!


My mother's day cards, flowers, and gifts from John and Austin.


Mom and kids taking a break..........


Dad and Austin hitting the waves.


In the spirit of mother's day I had to put this pic up of my little helper assisting me with the vaccuming....let's just hope his eagerness to help with chores continues until he's 20 or so!


My mom bought Austin this animated cookie monster (kind of like the tickle me elmo) and he hasn't quite figured it out yet- as you can tell from the pic!

Austin's first beach trip

Couple weekends ago we took Austin for his first trip to the beach. He loved it! We bought him this little float with a shade that looks like a crab and he was perfectly happy to float out in the water with us :)


Am I cool or what??!


Austin trying to figure out what this sand stuff was......


Austin and John out in the water floating....the water was so pretty and clear that day.

A Day at the Park

Here are a few pics (and a couple extra) of an afternoon at the park....


Austin pushing his walker at the park


Grass is sooooo interesting!


We got austin a bike seat for the back of John's bike and he loves it! So we have been taking lots of bike rides in the evenings. He does look silly in that helmet!


This is where we find austin alot these days....exploring our kitchen cabinets. We keep saying if one day we can't find him, just to look inside this cabinet and he probably will have crawled inside here!


Last but not least, Bailey had a great time at the park and decided to pose for this picture :)

Way Behind.......

So we are WAY behind on blog posts! We have had too much going on it seems over the last two months and now it's almost summer! Here's the first of posts to catch up on some pictures. My mom came down for a visit last month- We also got to spend some time with my aunt and uncle from north carolina while she was here. We had a good time and Grammy helped John and I ALOT, so here are some pictures from her visit.....


Swimming at the pool with Grammy- I like this pic of the two of them....


Austin, Aunt Mandy, and Grammy


We went out to dinner one night at the beach with my family- here's john and Austin having fun in the sand.


This is how my mom and I found Austin one day :) He had crawled into the bathroom & unrolled the toilet paper roll!
