Austin Ross Turns 3

First there were the friends to be invited.Then there was a fire truck birthday cake.And what 3 year old birthday party would be complete with out "cake face"Morgan and Paiton went along for a little ride as well. The grand finale was Freddie the fire truck. I tried to capture the look on Austin's face everytime they sounded the siren, it was truly priceless!!

Granny joined in for the ride. The good thing is she can't hear too well to begin with becaus she was right under the siren for the entire ride.

Papa J and Ma' J wouldn't have missed this ride.

Miss Morgan working on another set of hands to hold and spoil her.

Easter and then some...

An unexpected couple of days allowed us to blow up our fabulous pool in the back yard.

Morgan thought the water was a little cold at first but she adjusted.

Morgan LOVES her bath time, but it usually ends up being a group bath because she LOVES to splash.
Can you imagine what I look like after this kind of bath time activities?

Austin had a ton of fun this Easter. He had a blast dying eggs and then hunting for them. When he found all of the eggs, we continued hiding them over and over again.

We took a trip to Brawley for Easter, this is where we learned the perks of the fabulous blow up pool :-) Thanks Pappa J And Ba' J

Austin checking out the horses. He enjoys every trip to Brawley more and more each time.

And of course Miss Morgan is loving her Brawley sunshine too.

Did I mention we took the Corgi's?

This is the wonder-pool

Spring has SPRUNG!

We have been enjoying the recent warm weather by spending a lot of time outside in the sun. Like Father, like Son. Austin is polishing up his scooter so he gets better gas mileage on the road.

Morgan has been such a refreshing break from the "terrible" twos. We are trying to convince ourselves that she will never be a two-year old.

We FINALLY convinced Austin to go in a bounce house at the last birthday party we went to. It was embarassing to have all of the other parents watching me shove my son through the little doorway of the bounce house while he is kicking and screeming

Morgan enjoying a day at the park.

We have corgi fights in our front yard. Anyone want to place a bet?

This one is for Granny. Austin recently decided to relocate and he took all of his prized possessions with him. He should have called the movers.

Future blackmail photos

That's right, this is just the begining of the numerous embarassing pictures that I plan on showing to Morgan's first boyfriend. Clearly, she is not as entertained by her crazy hair as I was.Getting a little funnier.... Okay Mom, you're right this is funny!!

Lazy days of February

Here is how Austin viewed most of the SuperBowl.A little pajama time on Sunday morning. Do you think we are overstimulating her?

Look at that form. I thinkwe may have a future pitcher here??

Miss Morgan showing us what a big girl she is becoming

Austin reading to Raumi, Shor-Tee and I.

Austin helping Dad mow the lawn...I will let you know how long this excitement over the lawn mower lasts.

Oh, sunny days!!

We spent our weekend enjoying the unseasonably warm weather. I think I had a few San Diego flash backs.

We also went to go visit Aunt Pat at the airport. We all took a nice long nap after that journey.

We went to a soccer game too. Hence the reason for the new-found love for our soccer ball.
