Getting into things......

Austin amazes us each day, he is doing the silliest things and getting into stuff every second. For some reason he insists on coming into the bathroom with me, and he is itching to play in the toilet. After I coerce him out of the bathroom, he darts over to the fridge or the pantry.

He sure keeps us on our toes, but I wouldnt want it any other way :)

The Love Dare

Kyle and I have decided to complete the LoveDare Challenge. Today is day one, and I'm excited to start this process, and help strenghen our relationship. At times we get so caught up in the day to day tasks that we don't spend quality time together. Have you heard of this book, or know anyone that has completed it? It so, we would love to hear your feedback.


The Love Dare personally leads you through daily devotionals, records your thoughts and experiences, and ends each day daring you to perform a simple act of love for your spouse. This 40-Day journey equips you to melt hardened, separated hearts into an enduring love that can withstand the flames of fear, pride and temptation. The Love Dare book will help you reinforce and enrich your marriage.

These boots were made for.......

I got my hair done Saturday (got rid of the horrid "mom hair") and I felt the need to go shoe shopping. What girl doesnt love that!! I have to admit that since having Austin I have let myself go a bit. With my weight and my hair style and clothes. So when I saw these boots.... I knew they were made for ME!!! I got them at DSW 30% off-- and I LOVE THEM. We went to a surprise birthday party Saturday night for my husbands brother, and I wore them with my jeans tucked into them, and a cute little blue shirt I got at Ann Taylor Loft with a tan cardigan!! I felt pretty stylish- fun to get to dress up every once in a while.

It was my day for deals.. Ann Taylor Loft was having a great sale too!!!

Pancakes and Peaches

We have started the tradition of having pancakes on Sunday mornings. And let me tell you, Austin is like a garbage disposal. He ate 3 small pancakes, a cup of peaches, fruit puffs, a 8 oz bottle AND.. he wanted more. It is kind of gross how much this kid can eat.... Does anyone else have a kid that eats and eats and eats- or do you have picky eaters?
He is around 50% on the full term baby scale for weight- so I dont think we need to be concerned. It just amazes us at how much he chows down.
