Austin's Baptism

Here are a few pictures from Austin's Baptism yesterday - 8/10/14

Summer 2014

wow - Our Summer has been a great one as you can tell from my lack of posting - it's easier to keep a few post on Facebook posted than to keep up the Blog - which I do love to do because I have it printed out in book form for keepsake books! Here is a rundown of what we have done. Anthony graduated from Pre-k and received the best manners award from Mrs. Watkins - YEA! The first two weeks after school Anthony had swim lessons then we went to Heber Springs and took a much needed mini short vacation with my parents on Greers Ferry Lake. Came back home and spent the 4th of July just catching up on the farm duties and relaxing. Then Vacation Bible School for a week - took a week off - went to the waterpark in Denton with Tony- then our great friends visited for a few days and Anthony had gymnastics camp that whole week and went to the waterpark with them. Oh, I forgot Tony and I celebrated our 17th wedding anniversary the same day our good friends Trish and Seth Taylor were married and Anthony also started Karate once a week - somewhere in all of that! We just came back from Camden - had most of the family together and Austin was Baptised with David and Susan Mencer as his Godparents - it was a great service and so glad for all who attended. We have done our back to school supply shopping - got a new school haircut and new shoes -now just a couple of more weeks before Anthony starts Kindergarten! I will also mention now as I am still 39 ;) but the big 40 is coming up this weekend - WHAT! not really possible as I still feel like I am in my late 20's. I may have missed a few things here and there but that's what we have been doing. I hope everyone that reads this has had a wonderful summer and pray that everyone is doing well. May God continue to bless us all.

Austin at 7 months

OK, so these have been the hardest so far to take. As you can probably tell from the pictures - we have a crawler on our hands. He learned how to sit up and crawl in about a weeks time - now these past two weeks since taking these pictures he is FAST! And now can pull up on some objects and stand on his feet.

Brother Love

Anthony loves his little brother so much and Austin just lights up when he sees Anthony. If I am trying to get Austin's bottle ready or if we are traveling in the car and Austin gets upset - Anthony can always make him laugh and stop crying. I pray they continue to be the best of friends!! I put Austin on the floor to play one day as I was putting away clothes. Anthony got the Kindle and found a Power Rangers movie (really into that right now!) and got down with Austin so he could watch it as well!

Finally got the bouncer set up for Austin and he really likes it - of course Anthony is right there to help!!
