Tatoos

The kids got some 'Toy Story' tatoos last month for Valentine's Day from cousins Will and Abby. They LOVED them! When they woke up the next morning, they looked up their sleeves to see if they were still there. They were pleasantly surprised to still find them. They liked showing them off.

Speaking of 'Toy Story,' maybe this is what sparked Austin's interest (or infatuation) with the movie 'Toy Story 2.' Most mornings and evenings, Austin will take one of us by the hand to the tiny tv in our room and say, "Moomie. Moomie." You can't help but smile. He'll either sit on the floor or in his little chair and watch a good portion of the movie. Thanks cousin Will for sharing your love of this 'moomie!' I can see a Buzz or Woody costume in our house this Halloween. :o)

I'm a big girl now...

Or so she thinks. She has to do EVERYTHING on her own now. She eventually gives up on most things and asks for help, but not before she tries it for herself.

One of the things she HAS to do by herself is pull up her sleeves. This is one of the few things she's successful at.

Look...our daughter is so talented, she can play on the phone and pick her nose at the same time!

Waiting for Daddy

On the nights that Dustin closes the store, the kids and I are upstairs playing when he gets home. As soon as the kids hear the garage door opening, they run to the stairs and lay on their bellies to wait for Dustin to come upstairs. It's almost too cute for words!

Waiting for Summer

While Dustin was cleaning the garage this weekend, the kids found their lawn chairs and just HAD to bring them in the house.



We are more than ready for summer...can't wait to get outside again!

Any similarities??

Cards and TV

All that a boy needs.

More faces of Lilly...

When asked several times to smile for the camera, this is what I got...

And finally...

Tent Fun

The kids had a blast playing with their cousins this weekend. The biggest hit was yet again their tent.

The girls would get in the tent, zip it...and as you can see from Austin's face, he LOVED it when they unzipped it and scared him!!





I think Lilly liked yelling, "BOO!" as much as Austin liked being scared...

They had a blast! (I think the big girls even had just as much fun as Austin and Lilly!)

iPhone Craze

Lilly and Austin have definately caught on to the iPhone craze. If they spot us using our phones, they won't stop until they get them in their hands. Austin's getting pretty good at some of the games; he managed to beat himself at Connect Four the other day. I'm sure it was all genius and zero luck. ;o)
