Happy Birthday to ME!

Birthday: PART I: My birthday was last week on May 26. My friend Sara took me out to lunch to Rumbi Island Grill and ice cream at Coldstone afterwards. She loves babies and Austin has tons of fun with her. She also babysat for me that week. We will definitely miss the Lyman's when we leave!

Birthday Part II: Tyler got me Ticket to Ride and wrapped it in one of Austin's blankets...so creative... ;) We didn't have wrapping paper. I played this game for the first time a few weeks back and LOVED IT! Tyler also made me Spaghetti for dinner and Chandler made my birthday cake.

Here we are playing Ticket to Ride right after I opened it. Austin got way into the game and was great helping me choose what cards I was going to play next.

Birthday PART III: So I've had a gift certificate to get a manicure since last summer from Sara (Lehman) Castor when I was a bridesmaid at her wedding. I kept meaning to use it but never did! I finally used it 2 days after my birthday on the expiration date. It was my first manicure and it was fabulous! What a great birthday present. Thanks Sara!

Birthday Part IV: Jana took me out to lunch 2 days after my birthday at Kneaders and we brought all the kids along. Daylen, Kate, Brooks, and Austin. Afterwards Jana babysat all 4 at my house while I went and got my manicure! Just prepping her for her next kid...haha. That was such a nice treat. Here is my niece Kate saying "cheese" while stuffing my birthday cake in her mouth.

Me nephew Daylen eating some of my birthday cake and making a funny face at the camera like usual.

I don't think I take enough pictures with Austin and me. It was kinda hard getting him to smile while holding the camera out in front though, so this is the best one out of a lot.

Supposedly these pants are 3-6 month size....but I'm pretty sure they were labeled wrong...

Austin in his adorable overalls! The best part is the yellow shirt has a cow on it.

Brooks has arrived! 5/8/2010

Brooks Casey Gasaway was born the day before Mother's Day. What a great Mother's Day present! Tyler and I watched Daylen and Kate during the event and took them to church on Sunday (Mother's Day) with us. Boy was that an eye opener! Going from 1 kid to 3 was great practice for the future. We barely made it in time for our church which is at 2:30 PM. But I was able to drive Jana's mini-van and it was pretty fun packing 3 kids around! I felt so old :)

Here I am with Brooks. I spent the week with Jana after Brooks was born so she could have some help with the house and with her 2 kids. Poor Austin got neglected but he did so great! When he gets tired for a nap all I do is lay him down in his crib and he goes right to sleep. No binky and no rocking.

Compared to Brooks, Austin looks soo big! I love newborns! Brooks is such a good baby. He sleeps a lot and his cry is sooo quiet!

Here they are again! Sorry this uploaded sideways for some reason...weird! I love this one because Brooks looks like he is pointing his toes and trying to look as long as possible.

I like Austin's expression here. He looks a bit concerned.

Here are the kids together. It was a fun week!

Take Me Out to the Ball Game!

We went to the BYU Baseball home game this last Saturday and Austin was REALLY excited to go as you can see below.

We met up with Jana and Brad and their kids at the game. Brooks (Their newest addition) is almost a week old in this picture! I couldn't believe Jana was able to go. She said with each kid the recovery is faster. Thank goodness. I love Daylen in this picture! He's got a ton of funny faces.

Austin started getting a bit tired by the end of the game.

Here he is out cold. Precious!

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.
