Trip home to Walla Walla

Lori needed a ride home after the semester was over, so we decided to take a trip home. Tyler GRADUATED as well so it was a good break from school and work.

Austin's first LONG road trip. He was pretty concerned at first but he did great overall!

We decided to go to Palouse Falls, which ended up being a very windy and cold day, but it was very beautiful! It was our first time going there and I couldn't believe what I've missed out on growing up having this so close by.

Very recently someone rode their kayak over the falls and survived! Talk about crazy.

Austin inside the car since it was so windy and cold.

All bundled!

Austin's first time in his Bumbo chair! He did a lot of head bobbing!

This is at home in a flower patch in front of our house

Family picture!

Mom and Dad with Austin

All the girls with Austin. He has a hard time looking at the camera...

The kid knows how to smile! :)

Austin loves his little yellow friend! He always stares at him when his swing is going.

My friend Lyette got this outfit for him. So cute! His hair looks orangish in this picture. We're still crossing our fingers for red hair.

I love this outfit!! He looks like he's doing a little dance jig.

Tummy time with a little help from the boppy...

Starting to get a little bit tired of holding his head up.

I really like this shot.

Happy 2 Year Anniversary!

Just thought I would post some pictures from our wedding. It's fun to look back at them every now and then. AND, we're going country dancing tonight to celebrate so I thought it would be fun to post a dancing picture.

This is overlooking the Fielding's orchard. It was the perfect time of year to get married!

Tyler accepted his offer to TCU in Fort Worth, Texas so we will be moving there this August. Austin is very excited as you can tell! Actually, this picture was actually taken about 3 weeks ago but I thought it fit.

This is his classic look when he is surprised or sees something for the first time. The whites in his eyes make him look a little crazed!

We went down to Jana's house in Salem to watch conference and went on a walk between sessions... It was cold so we bundled Kate and Austin up real good. At one point Kate started singing to Austin when he was crying to try and soothe him. So cute!

Our little family!

He's just not quite sure if he likes being bundled up or not.

Now he for sure knows he doesn't like it! Good thing this is after the walk was over.

Don't they look alike?

Watching sports together...already...If we only have one channel, ESPN, Tyler would be a happy man.

Personality!

Sorry these are so small...They are from my phone and I have not a clue how to make them any bigger or if that is even possible. He has so many different expressions so I thought I would share them all with you. He's got plenty more but I haven't been able to capture them yet. Hope you enjoy!

Austin's Baby Blessing Week

This is Austin taking a bath in Great Grandma Hair's sink. He actually liked his bath in here. I think he's still afraid of the big tub.
Tyler's brother, Chandler, was having extensive jaw surgery this week so this was the best time to bless Austin since the whole family would be in town. Austin cried through the entire blessing...but then again he was only 3 and a half weeks old. I don't have him trained yet. :)

Lori, Jana, and I with Austin

This is our first picture we took with Austin all dressed up since he's been born! I usually wear sweats all day.

4 generation picture. Great Grandpa Al, Grandpa Richard, Tyler, and Austin

Grandpa Glen Gilbert came down for the weekend. Austin's middle name is Glen who is named after my grandpa here.

Daylen and Austin

Kate and Austin. They're all ready for a new baby brother who will be here the middle of May.

Tyler's dad with Austin

Austin's aunt Amanda. She loved holding Austin while she was here.

Who said babies don't smile before 6 weeks? Here is Austin at 4 and a half and he usually has a smile a few times a day. Mostly from passing gas I do believe. But here he is super happy just stretching out on the floor after a full tummy and a clean diaper.

More Pictures!

Classic!
He's still so little

Tyler's mom came to visit and help out after my mom left. I was so spoiled!

We looked at Tyler's baby pictures the other night and there is one that looks exactly like Austin!

Austin's aunt Amanda (Tyler's 10 year old sister) sewed this blanket and then sewed it to this bear's hand. Austin loves it! Well, he doesn't really have a clue what's going on. Especially when we take so many pictures of him and blind him.

Austin's first bath! It was a bit stressful since he cried the entire time until we got him all snuggled in the towel. Thank goodness I had some help!

This is our good friend Eliana. She cooked us an AMAZING Argentinian dinner and we all ate together and caught up on recent news.
