poor Austin....

In the last month -- He had his fingers slammed in a car door that locked when the door shut. He poor little fingers were cut from it and swelled pretty good, couple weeks later found a mouse trap and got his other hand caught in that. That cause a little welt wasn't too bad. Last night took a spill on his trike -- look at his poor bump. This picture doesn't do it justice. I know boys will be boys but I didn't sign up for this!!! I sit there and go back and forth each time wondering do I take him or would that be over reacting. Whats he going to do next. This kid sure is busy and he is also pretty quiet so you never know what to expect. I think I may put a bell of some sort on him so I always know where to find him.

I know I have a ton of posts to catch up on and I will soon!! Hopefully!

yesterday.

Yesterday

I was the big 26! Although it wasn't the greatest....I woke up so sick a little bit of allergies mixed with a bad cold, I got really annoyed with the humidty, mitch had to work, my family was out of town, went and got a shot in hopes of clearing up my overwhelming allergies, took a nap with Austin, went to work for the night.

Today

is a new day I decided today is going to be my psuedo birthday in hopes that it will go a little better! I am still fairly congested but not near as bad as I was, I will in deed be sleep deprived but nothing that a fun day at the pool can't wash away! I will go to dinner with my cousin and laugh. I will spend the day with family and be glad that 26 years ago I was born.

Some pictures of my greatest accomplishments!

My Big Boy

I swore I would not put Austin in a real bed til he could crawl out of his crib. Well I didn't wait that long. We had tried a few other times to put him in a big boy bed, but he just wasn't ready. Then last week I was cleaning there room up and I took the railing off the crib and decided to try again. The only difference was this time I was going to be at work when he went to bed and Mitch would have to do it all. I kind of worried but figured it he wasn't ready Mitch would just put the railing back up and put him in the crib. Well I called him at around 10 to see how it went and he said Austin only got up 2 times. After the 2nd time Mitch told him that he needed to go to bed no more getting up. Put him back in bed and never saw him again. So I got a little teary eyed when he told me that and I made him go take a picture of him. I was thinking he would be on the floor or playing with something he shouldn't be, but nope he was snug in his bed! Really, why am I crying he stayed. And he has stayed for a week now. We have not had any problems with putting him to bed. This little (big) guy is growing up so fast. I remember telling people last month how I was kind of worried because he doesn't talk. Well I guess the lord blessed him because now he doesn't stop talking. I have to tell him no more talking, I sometimes just need a break from his manly baby voice! I love him so much, he has such a special spirit about him. It is so hard to get mad and stay mad at him. Ask any aunt, babysitter, grandma -- He gets this cute little smirk, when you tell him not to do something or explain what he did wrong he simply says "oh" -- Really oh --- Come on!
I could seriously go on and on about him, but I will stop! Good night!!!

Perm

Yes I did....Alivia now has a body perm! I was born with natural curly hair. I hate it, but love it! Alivia was born with naturally strait hair! Not a huge fan of that! She loves her hair curly so I will usually braid it after a bath! We will gel it the next day then an hour later it is strait again! So my best friend Noel is a hair dresser and she suggested we try a body perm! So now Alivia's hair is curly! The first thing she said was now I look like Teenie (her Aunt)!

My favorite part -- Noel washing her hair! I wish Noel would wash my hair every day it feels so good!

She watched Toy Story while she had her hair done -it entertained her for the most part but it was a long process and she did get a little frustrated in the end!

Suckers make everything better! Noel always has them on hand even if she says they are all gone!

The finish....She was so irritated with us by this time she didn't want Noel to style her hair! She just wanted to go and play with Carter.

She really loves her curly hair! I like it too, just sick of this no washing period. It bugs me not being able to wash her hair.

Bath Time Fun

The kids love taking baths at Grandma Cindy's after Sunday dinner. Here are some pics she sent me!!!


You have to look at the reactions on the boys faces to Liv's silliness! Its almost like they were thinking who let her in here?!?!?!?

Alivia's 1st Horse Ride

For fathers day we went to Blackfoot to visit my grandpa's! It was a lot of fun. We bbq'd and just enjoyed being around all of our family. On our way home we stopped at papa mike's and Alivia ended up going on her first horse ride. She was grinning from ear to ear, she was so excited. She was a little hesitant at first, she walked out to pet the horse and Mike lifted her up, neither of us expected a ride. Luckily I had a camera in the car to capture the moment.

Here is Alivia with Midnight.

Here she is getting to know the horse a little
