Austen's First Day Of School


I can't believe this day has come, but today was Austen's first day of Kindergarten.

We took some before school pics.




He was so excited to go and had no reservations whatsoever.  He even told me to make sure I did his hair really good so that he could attract lots of girls.  He is hilarious!

Getting out of the car.

Walking in with Daddy.

And of course the words of wisdom from Dad.



Seeing his teacher outside in the line.


He kept giving me the thumbs up!  This kid is so cute!

And off they go.


I won't lie, I cried my eyes out the whole way home.  Then Archer went down for his nap and I was essentially alone.  It was so weird and I had no idea what to do!  Free time is foreign!

This Kid Is CUTE!



I have been a major slacker in the blog world.  But we've been having tons of fun this summer doing all sorts of outdoors stuff.
Austen is about to start kindergarten in 5 days (I might cry for a week about that).
Archer is saying 8-10 words, understanding and pointing to couple body parts, and slowly starting to like more foods like chicken and salmon.  He's still not a fan of any fruits or vegetables.

I took some pics of the little guy in the backyard today and I just love them all so I posted a ton.  I love his facial expressions!  Besides that, he's pretty much the cutest kid ever!












Eating a rock....I love those smiley eyes of his!

Father's Day




Father's Day was yesterday and we had a good one.  Brian golfed in the morning and then came home and took a two hour nap!  He started a new job a few weeks ago (a whole new career actually) and traveled for work last week, so he was exhausted.  After he rose from the dead I made dinner and then we headed off to the lake to take some pictures.  I got a lot of good ones, so you're going to get bombarded.

If you spend any time at all with me, you know that I idolize Brian and of course our kids do too.  He is the greatest Dad!!!  He's patient, present, and fun!  He makes the best memories and moments for our kids.


These two are the best of friends and just plain cute!

He noticed the baby ducks, so he had to take a closer peek.







Racing of course.

Austen's face....

Archer was quickly out of patience and did not want to hold still.

That's when things started to go downhill.....but how cute is his sad face?


That smile and his teeth.....I die!

 All this kid wanted to do was explore as usual.

Then Archer was just plain done cooperating.


So for everyone that thinks Archer is always happy...here is one of his epic fits in action.  Also, Austen kills me in these...he's just doing his own thing...marching right along.



Brian did manage to get a few good ones of me and the kids though.




Then it was back to exploring.....


 Walking back to the car I snapped a few more good ones.


 I love these next two because Archer is always doing crazy stuff with his arms while he walks.
