Memorial Day Weekend...

We had the best Memorial Day Weekend!  Beautiful weather had us outdoors everyday enjoying the sunshine and our family and friends!!  From playing in the sand at the beach, to celebrating Austin's birthday and just hanging out in the sun, it was absolutely wonderful!!  Couldn't resist posting a bazillion pictures of our weekend...

Of course we can't go anywhere without our baseball gear!!

Brooke loves laying out in the sun already!!!

Austin looking too cool in his shades!

LOVING this sunshine!!!

Brooke showing off her red, white and blue for Memorial Day!!  (Actually it's her outfit for the 4th of July, (yes...she has an outfit for the 4th of July!!!) but we have discovered it's probably going to be a bit too small by then!!!)

Me and Brooke enjoying a nice night out!!

Me and the kids ;)  

Loving being in the blow up pool, even if the water was actually freezing!!!

Austin being brave in the cold water, while his cousin was smart and opted to stay out!!!

Celebrating turning 2 is so much fun!!!  (I think we lit his candles and sang Happy Birthday at least 5o times!!  He couldn't get enough!!!)

Happy at the Park!

What's a 3 day weekend without a good nap!!!

As you can tell, we were busy, but couldn't have had more fun!!!

Happy 2nd Birthday Austin!!!

HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY AUSTIN!!

Our little boy is officially 2 years old!!  It's amazing to look back on the last year and think of all that he has learned and experienced!!  In the last year he started walking, talking, running, & jumping; he's lived in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Diego, Arizona, Washington and soon Japan (Ah the life of a baseball kid!!); he's learned to throw some pretty darn good tantrums; he goes potty on the big boy potty every so often and is so proud; he can throw a good fastball and hit the ball pretty good too; he's driven his matchbox cars around on the floor the equivalent of 5 cross country road trips (he LOVES his toy cars!); he experienced color crayons and loves to color; same goes for reading books; he learned to eat with a spoon and fork; he learned to climb out of his crib and show off his acrobat skills (see earlier post!!); he's learned the word "No" and loves to use it (ah, the terrible 2's!); and most importantly he's just the happiest, most loving little boy and big brother, and we are just so proud of him! 

Waking up on the morning of his 2nd Birthday to balloons and the happy birthday song!!  Austin loved it!!

Happy Birthday Austin!!  He loved waking up to see his balloons!!

Nothing like birthday pancakes to start off the first day of being 2!!

Our 2 year old!!!

Happy Birthday Love Bug, We love you so much!!

Love, Mommy, Daddy, Brooke & Hunter!!

Austin's 2nd Birthday!

Today we celebrated Austin's 2nd birthday!! (His birthday isn't actually until tomorrow!)  I can't believe he is 2 years old already!  It was such a beautiful day outside, we had a little birthday BBQ for Austin over at his Aunt Kirsten and Uncle Gary's house (thanks guys!!!), it sure was a lot of fun!  The kids had a great time playing outside and running around and Austin loved blowing out his candles and of course eating his cake!  (He has come a long way since his first birthday, he wanted nothing to do with his cake then!!)  

Happy 2nd Birthday Austin!

Austin blew out his candles all by himself!

This picture is so funny! He is blowing out his candles so hard he is cross eyed!!

Making sure he gets every last candle blown out!

He was SO excited to eat his cake!!

Digging in!

YUMMY!!
