Outtakes of the Cousins' Photo Shoot...

Christmas Pics of the Cousins!

Ok, I decided that I would keep everyone in suspense by only making a post once a quarter. Ha, just kidding. I've been meaning to update this forever, and well, I'm just a slacker. That's all there is to it. Here are some way cute pics of Austin and his two adorable cousins, Hannah and Olivia. My really good friend Brittany, who is an awesome wedding photographer, took these pictures of the kids. I never have experienced anything like the scene that was this photo shoot. First you have Hannah, who is 4 and the camera loves her. She was ready at any moment to take a great picture. Then there is Livi, who is 18 months, and she didn't want to have anything to do with our photo shoot. Austin, who just turned 1, pretty much followed Livi where ever she went. I think his collared shirt was making him hot and bothered anyway. But even though photographing 3 kids under the age of 4 can be a chore, the pictures turned out amazing. See for yourself.

Carving Pumpkins

Tonight we decided to do some pumpkin art. The new camera had dead batteries, so we had to resort to the old artifacts...basically, sorry for the crappy night picture.

Burke, Burtie, Burkilicious, devil dog,....Happy 3rd Birthday!!! We LOVE you!

Burke turned 3 today. I thought I'd devote a section of the blog to the 3rd member of the family. Although maybe you were put on the left back-burner once the 4th family member came along, we never forgot you. You actually kind of prepared us for the little terrorist who is now Austin. If we didn't have to deal with a maniac dog first, we wouldn't be accustomed to the chaos that is having a baby. But we really do appreciate all that you bring to the family. I LOVE playing hide and seek with you, Austin LOVES to feed you his food that he doesn't want, and Boy Cam LOVES to clean up all your messes! Thanks for getting out of the eating toilet paper phase, being fairly easy to potty train, and putting up with the pack n' play at Grandpa and Grandma Seamons' house. You were the first granddog....and probably the last. But what would life be like with out you? Perhaps a little cleaner, a little quieter, but surely not NEARLY as fun!

How do I add the friends link?

Ok, so I know I'm not a very proficient blogger yet...this has already become common fact since i have waited 3 months to post a comment. I want to add the friends link on my blog, and I can't see where I can do that. Any ideas?

Austin is learning to share....with Burke

Tonight I attempted the sippy cup again, and Austin actually seemed to like it this time. He didn't really get it before, and he always got mad when there was juice instead of milk in it. Maybe he just needed a couple of weeks. He also found out it was fun to drop the sippy on the floor right after mom picked it up for him...little stinker! I think Burke gets slightly envious of all the attention Austin gets, but his time for tail pulling and nose grabbing is coming!

We moved in finally

We've finally moved in! I think I've used the dishwasher at least 10 times in the past week and a half...I think it is my favorite thing about this place. Oh, and not having neighbors living below us, sharing a washer and dryer, a garage, the list goes on and on. Moving was a chore, but with all the help we got from everyone, it wasn't too bad. Here are some pictures of Austin playing on the floor before we moved everything in, Cam got excited about cleaning the new fridge, and the backyard. I can't wait for there to be grass!
