Mr. Beef Jr.

This is A-Ross at his Poppy's (Grandpa Ross) office. We figure this is the closest he is going to get to any real cattle at the feed yard for a while. I am just waiting until Austin is old enough to traipse enough manure through the car to really send his father through the roof. (Don't worry, I will keep Adrian's blood pressure medication nearby).

El Jefe - The Boss

We always joke when we have to abruptly leave somewhere it's because "the boss" said it is time to go. We thought it would be appropriate to get a picture of the "boss" in the bosses chair. This is Austin in his Grandpa Ross' big boss chair in his office. For some reason that adorable smile always commands all of our attention and we are always at his beck and call, when he says jump, we say, "how high?"

Designated Driver

Our little road warrior got to take yet anohter journey to the desert. Austin got to go to his Uncle RJ and Aunt Dawn's wedding this past weekend. During the rehearsal dinner Austin decided to audition for the position of designated driver for the wedding. CLick on the link below and you will find more pictures from the wedding.

Clearance Sale at the Salvation Army

That's right, even the Salvation Army couldn't give these shirts away. Being the charitable soles that we are we were kind enough to take one off their hands. In case you didin't know our home is divided by the Bay during football season. Granted neither team has much to brag about but at least we are not winless. By the way, who won that Raider/49er game? I think Austin is going to have to be a Charger fan just to keep everyone happy.

One combo burrito to go

If you keep up with the blog you know that Austin loves to be outside and on his favorite blanket. I guess you could say that he is a little steam roller now because this is what we found the other eveining. Austin managed to roll himself completely into a little boy burrito. It must be the Mexican in him :-)

In search of the "Great Pumpkin"

Is bigger better? I guess it depends who is measuring your pumpkin. Austin is roaring and ready to go for his 1st Halloween. This year we decided to forego the Monkey cosutume for something more practical...you will have to wait and see...

5 months and counting...

Okay, so we are a day early but everyone knows that real birthdays are only celebrated on weekends anyway. :-) Needless to say, Austin had a very busy weekend of celebration, he went to a car show, a flea market, and of course Target. The only let down for the entire weekend was the ending. It rained or sprinkled all day on Sunday. There are only two things that Austin truly hates but he is very passionate about those them, his car seat and being inside all day long. Hopefully next weekend the weather gods will shine down upon us.

No more photos please.

Being a first time mom you can imagine how much time I spend searching for that "perfect" photo. So picture this through Austin's eyes; Austin is laying on the bed, all decked out to start his day and he is FULL of smiles...until I pull out the camera. I start encouraging him to smile by modeling my smile, I get nothing. Then Adrian jumps in and he too is trying to get him to smile, still we get nothing. By this time we are waving every toy within arms reach in front of Austin jumping up and down, heck we even held the dog up to see if she could get him to flash those gums. Instead this is what we got, he rolls over puts his head down and sighs (the picture above). Once again Austin show us just who is the boss in this house.
