mY bAbY iS 4!

Aussie turned four on Friday! We never go shopping on black Friday, we took Austin to a movie instead. This may have been just as bad. I wanted to get a picture of him at the theater, but because of the lack of parking and long lines, lights were already out by the time we got to our seats. He had a lot of fun. we took him to see "Planet 51", it was really cute. then we took him shopping with the money he got from Grandpa and Grandma Kartchner. Not surprising he picked more toys from "Cars". Then we bought him a pizza for dinner.

The Birthday Boy!

Austin Has been slightly obsessed with Transformers.
Here his a picture of his Optimus Prime that he got from Mom and Dad.

We didn't have his birthday party until the next day. He wanted a Tranformers birthday. Here is his cake. Due to technical difficutiesit did not turn out exactly as planned, I never clammed to be a cake decorator, but he was happy with it.

Jason and Melissa gave him this cute helmet and steering wheel.
He has had fun pretending to be a race car driver.Jared and Sarah gave him this remote control Backhoe.
My boy loves tractors.

Grandpa and Grandma Peterson gave him this Nerf gun.

It is a little loud. I think we are going to end up with 2 of them,
because Jeremy had just as much fun with it as Austin did.

They also gave him these cute Optimus Prime pajamas.
Don't worry Mom, they fit perfect.
It was a pretty good party but the birthday boy was acting a bit wild all night.
Can't miss out on a chance to post an embarrassing photo of Jeremy.
He brings this on himself.Here is a cute picture of Sarah and Jared that I told her I would post.
Glad to see you found your husband (at least for the day)


Side notes

I never seem to get pictures of Thanksgiving. Too busy eating I guess. Went to Jeremy's Grandparents house and had a wonderful meal. I made all of the pies, they seemed to turn out well. We are having another party for him tonight with the Wyatt's so I will post picture from that later. We also set up our Christmas tree and outdoor lights on Austin's birthday. It is our Black Friday tradition. I also set up my Christmas village for the first time since Austin was a baby. I didn't know that I had collected so much stuff over time and had to expand it out a bit.

Happy Holidays!!

Austin

Austin is going to turn 4 on the 27th! I wanted to post some old pictures of him on his birthday. I decided to do it early since his birthday is in the middle of such a busy holiday weekend. The last 4 years have gone by so fast. We love this little guy! Here are some of my favorite pictures of our first year together.
Later this week I will try to post some pictures of him when he is older.

I know this is really late but here is the rest of our Halloween pictures!

Pumpkin Walk 2009

This one is really dark, sorry.

My pretty princess! Not sure why he wanted this one.


And our Pumpkin Walk tradition. Jeremy as a princess. (last year he was Ariel)

Our pumpkins

These two we carved at Jeremy's parents house.
Jeremy did the transformer for Austin,
and his brother Jason did the mickey for his daughter Brinley.



Another pumpkin Jeremy did for our house.
I wonder who chose this design.

Our favorite Little cowboy!

Finally a picture with a normal smile!
He likes to pull weird faces lately when I ask him to smile.
I thought these were cute.

This is the face he pulled when I asked him to make a sexy smile
instead of a goofball one. Makes me laugh every time!

And you've got to have an action shot!

Good news! I got a new camera this week! now I won't have to steal pictures off of Jeremy's iphone anymore. Yay! It is part of my early Christmas. My sweet husband new that I was freaking out not having a camera. Austin's Birthday is in less than 2 weeks!

Happy Fall!

Jeremy messed with my camera and got it to work for a little while. The night before Halloween it died again. I was able to get a few pics of Austin playing in the fall leaves before we raked them up. The rest I will have to steal off of Jeremy's phone.

Every time I ask Austin to smile I get this face.

Isn't he cute!


We have this fun hole in our walnut tree that goes
all the way throuh the tree. Austin is trying to put walnuts in it.
They are just a little too big.


Finally getting down to business!


Well sort of?


Austin has a unique raking style!


Happy Fall! More to come.
