Happy 2nd Birthday Austin

Computer must have gone down yesterday when I tried to post this. We had a great party last night with his God-families over. And even Grandpy and Grandma Pat stopped by on their way through town.

Happy Birthday Austin!!!!



I love hearing you say "SpongeBob Squarepants"

You love cleaning with your vacuum cleaner and using the Attachment to get in all the corners and edges - I've taught you well!

Yesterday when it had snowed you couldn't wait to go out and play in the "snowing" and then while we were out there you would be across the yard and start yelling Mom, and when I'd ask what it was just so you could say "I love you" - something you have likely learned from your brother Turner

You give great kisses and hugs and love having you cheek right up against my face when You are giving me hugs so I can just smooch on those chubby little cheeks - I just love em.

I love the way your hair spikes out in back off to the side.

You love your "Charwee (charlie)" and are still always giving him hugs and kisses and it is often that I hear you laughing and running, only to see you a short second later go by pulling one of Charlie's toys with him close at your heels, then you usually fall, Charlie tackles you, Charlie nips at you, you start crying and come tell me, I tell you you are ok and to tell Charlie to be nice, and then the whole thing starts over again.

You are a parrot, repeating anything and everyone - but mostly your big brother.

You are talking up a storm - your latest new word "What EVER!" yes, you even do the hand motion (W E). Thank daddy for teaching you that one, refer back up to previous line! lol

You are out of your crib now and in a big boy bed. Sure we had to lock the door for two nights, but now you do pretty good. Of course you have starting figuring out that Mackenzie and Turner sleep together and they sneak in our room, so I think you are close to following in their footsteps, again, refer back to previous line about you wanting to do EVERYTHING they do!

Gosh Austin, I could go on and on and on with all the things I love about you. You are seriously one of the most adorable kids in the world. You make our house, our family, and our life better by just being a part of it. Thank you for giving me the honor to be your mother. I could never repay you for all you have given me in only 2 short years. I love you!!!
