Austin's 7th Birthday

This is clearly not done chronologically, as Austin turned 7 in JUNE 2013!!!!  But I would be a big failure as a mom if I did not record his birthday for our digital baby book :)

This picture pretty much sums up your world AC1 right now....you are Legocentric, and if given the chance you will play with Legos and do nothing else.

You have changed so much this past year and we are so proud of how well you are doing...

 This is your second favorite thing to do....swim anywhere, anytime, any temperature of the water or air!!

 You were nice enough to share your carrot cake with your dad & grandpa for Father's Day as we combined the celebration.....and look more Legos......noticing a trend?!?

 Then there is the new found love of Nerf Guns, and the sheer joy on your face speaks volumes to the love you have for additional weaponry when fighting your mom or dad or sister or neighbor!

 This year you have also gotten a real taste for fishing, which of course makes your Dad, Grandpa, Granddad and Nanny so happy!!  That is your very own tackle box in the big box in front of you....you have worn out some of the lures in that box already!!!

And finally, some more Legos....noticing a trend here!?!  At least you are consistent!!!

We love you!!

Catch Up 101 - First Day of School 2013!!

I never posted Ansley's first day of school picture like I did for Austin a few years ago....so here it is :) the Ansley photo that will just melt your heart ... or at least her mom's....

 and then she grew up.....and went off to Kindergarten....with her big brother off to 2nd grade....and their daddy off to work......we all have had quite an adjustment this fall.....which is what I will blame my absence upon :)

What I wouldn't do for some shorts weather today!!!
