Chandler's Married!

Tyler's brother Chandler got married last weekend so we flew out to Utah for the occasion. Here are the two lovely newlyweds with nieces and nephews. It was a beautiful wedding and everything turned out perfect! Even the weather!

Mr. Blake and his awesome "borrowed" outfit! He looked great

Family picture!

Uncle Chris and Blake

Austin found a piano and we couldn't pry him away. At least he was happy!

Teaching his lil' bro how to play. I'm hoping this interest keeps up for when he can actually learn how to play.

My Boys!

During both receptions Austin found the nursery and stayed there practically the entire time. Here he is chasing a balloon with a frying pan.

Left to Right:

Jane's parents (Grandpa Dan and Grandma C), Jane and Richard, Richard's parents(Grandma June and Grandpa Al) and then us. It was so fun to see Tyler's family. They are pretty hilarious when they all get together. Especially with Grandpa Dan and Grandma C there. They are pretty spunky!

Rolling over!

Ready...Set....Go!

This is pretty fun!

Let's try again

Okay I think I'm getting the hang of it.

I think I can!

I did it!!!

He not only rolled over once...He did it twice! So it wasn't just a fluke. He was so determined to roll over he started fussing when he got stuck, but I kept smiling and encouraging him and he finally made it all the way over. Blake will be 3 months in a week!

Grandpa Al

Tyler's Grandpa Allen has a talent with woodworking. Actually he has an AMAZING talent with woodworking. He built this machine before we came and it is quite the masterpiece. It has two handles. One to raise it up and one to dig with the shovel piece. It also rotates 360 degrees when you sit on it so you can move one pile of dirt to another. I want one Adult size please! :)

Austin loves big trucks and machines. He was a bit too small to work this one by himself but in a couple years he'll be able to dig all the dirt and sand he wishes when he goes to Great Grandma and Grandpa's house.

Austin didn't like me taking over.

Thanks Jana for the Awesome keds!

He's really doing a heel kick...mid air...

I bought Austin a pair of wranglers!!! I went to a consignment sale in Fort Worth and got them for $4.00. And they look brand spankin' new! I felt pretty good about that. Who can resist wranglers on a 20 month old? Isn't that the cutest butt you've ever seen? So, there are a lot of pictures to follow....but I really couldn't help myself. I love seeing him in his wranglers!

Sportin' the look!

Work it

I also got the shirt as well. Now all he needs are boots and a hat!

His "Horse" for now...$12 at the sale!

It was worth every penny

Pure joy!

Blake turned 2 months a week ago! Where has the time gone...He is a very easygoing baby, and smiles and talks A LOT. I thought Austin talked and smiled a lot but I think Blake does even more. He's very predictable and will sit and entertain himself most of the time. He's wearing 3-6 month clothes and growing fast! Too fast!

Stats: 13 lbs. 2 oz (90%)

24 inches (90%)

Austin is also growing and has been eating a TON lately. He likes to stuff his entire package of fruit snacks in his mouth and when he does, he looks like this. His newest trick is throwing a frisbee with dad! He's pretty good at it too.

Recent Happenings

Austin loves having friends come over to play. Even if it means he must be a gentlemen and succumb to her every whim!

"OK mom! We're ready!" That's right, we've hit the roads again. It was an AWESOME last week since the high was only about 85-90 degrees all week. Now it's back to the 100's but we sure took advantage of the cooler weather by going to the park everyday.

Lately I've been ablet o get Austin to eat new foods if he eats them with a toothpick! Brilliant! I've started to smash a piece of bread, spread PB and Jelly on it, roll it up like a cinnamon roll, and cut it into little circular pieces like a cinnamon roll would look. And he NOW eats PB and Jelly again.! It's all about presentation I guess.

Our neighbors gave him this really cool ball but it was a bit dirty, so Austin helped daddy wash it in the sink. He loved the bubbles! I think we're gonna have to start taking bubble baths.

Best buds!

Blake smiles very easily! His best moments are right after he eats. He will just smile and smile and has also started talking. "goo goo" and "gaa gaa". He really gets into it.
