Mischievious Austin

Thankfully this did not come out worse than this. Wondering where Austin was and why he was being so quiet. I turned the corner and here he is sitting in the hall and dinning room pumping hand soap out onto the floor. Thankfully it is just the two drops and it is on the tile. What a stinker!

On your mark get set go!!!!!

The boys (Eric, Jake and Travis) wanted to race and after Jake getting into the inner tube they came up with this brilliant red-neck plan. Eric obviously won because Travis got ahold of Jake's inner tube and pulled the plug that holds the air in.. What a cheater.... We were all dying laughing so hard I am amazed the pictures came out as good as they did.

Jake... Or Jaqueline???

Our friend Jake put on as you can see the baby floaties, child inner tube and snorkel... all in pink. I guess he doesn't realize I have a blog out here on the net :). We all got a good laugh out of it as Jake is also training right now to be a rage in the cage fighter.. So I think his nick name should be Pinky Tinky Jakey or something cute.. :)

Slip N Slide

Whoopsie!


The kids had such a blast on the slip and slide. Austin loves to drink the water and as he walks across he slips. Jarae as you can see slides across on her knees she isn't quite brave enough to get her whole face wet and slide on her belly.

Attack of the ERIC!

Memorial Day we went with our friends Cassie and Eric to swim at Cassie's mom's house. This is a slide that sits on the side of the pool and the kids were sliding down it into the water but then they pushed it off into the water and all the kids were pilling on like a life raft trying to stay away from the evil water monster Eric! The kids has a blast.

Aqua Austin!

Austin loves the pool. Swims all over with no fear and drinking lots of water and burping. He loved wearing the goggles to I guess if I was that close to the water with everyone splashing around me I would to. He is such a joy to our lives and so precious.

Car Ride

Austin loves sunglasses and it cracks me up when I bring out the camera and instant cheez comes on his face. Do you think I take a few pictures of my kids???? :)

No Fear... To be a kid again...

My little darlings... They love to tear apart this couch and jump all over it like little monkeys! If you see all the toys in the picture with Jarae that is what is below Austin as he stands on the arm. That and more I should say all the trucks sit there. Now you know why I have heart palpitations!

Storytime!

One of Kasen and Jarae's favorite stories is the 5 little monkeys. So Jarae decided to tell Kasen the story it was so cute! And Austin just decided he was going to grab a book and pose :)

Night Night... Sleep tight my little darlings.....

After Jarae's bike crash both the kids crawled up with me on the couch and passed out.. So cute.

And when I crash....

Jarae crashed for the 1st time since learning to ride her bike without training wheels. She was goofing around wiggling her handle bars back and forth saying "whoa". Well the Handle bars kicked back and down she went with her arms back, this really could of been so much worse. But she scraped her chin and her lip giving herself a fat lip and bruised her cheek a bit. What trooper she is as she wanted to ride her bike again the very next day.

I can ride my bike without training wheels!!!!

On Saturday Travis and I worked with Jarae and here she is riding her bike without training wheels. She is so proud of herself. We are so proud of her for being 4 years old and having the confidence and will power to want to ride her bike without training wheels.

PaPa Quader and Austin

Everyone was just cracking up at how Austin just breaks out his cheez smile when the camera comes out. He crawled right up next to Papa Quader and busted out his Cheez... Such a ham Austin is. Nice Cheez Papa.

Kitty & Jarae

For Mothers Day we made the rounds. Our 1st stop was to see Great Grandma Kitty. Uncle Glen had traveled in from Maryland so we spent the morning visiting.

Austin is 20 months old now and climbs everything he can possibly climb, crawls into,under and over everything in sight. So this him ready for bed and climbing into a box from Costco.. Mommy was able to get the camera out because she wasn't having a mild heart attack and running over to pull him down or out of something.
