Boys always end up in their underwear...

We spent Saturday at Alana's with her son Jack who's 3 and her nephew Isaac who's 7. I think these pictures will tell you how much fun everyone had;) It's funny how they all decided it would be more fun if they were as close to naked as we would allow. Men never change...Jack was Breaking it down
Everyone dancin' in their underwear...well not Alana and I;)
Austin is very content...naked playing with trucks

"Don't judge me. I make this pull-up look good!"
Boys will be boys
Playing in the tunnel

What a bunch of hams
This is when Austin decided he wanted to have more fun and be naked too
He started with removing his socks, and the rest was not far behind

Buds

Keith was out of town this weekend so Alana and Jack came over Friday night for a sleep over. We had a blast! I am so glad these boys will have each other and they get along great. Something tells me as they get older they will have just as much fun as their daddy's did. So, pray for us;)

My hero

Paw-Paw

I was trying to get Austin dressed Sunday morning, and he decided after he had his socks and "underwear/diaper" he didn't need anything else on. He ran around laughing and having a blast. I think he'd be so content to just run around naked all the time! At least it's warming up here so I don't have to worry about him catching a cold. He looks like an ol' paw-paw but it doesn't look like he cares;)

Can't live without it

If you have noticed almost every picture of Austin he is carrying a car, truck or tractor in his hands. Isn't it funny how we are all pre-wired as children? He just picked a car up one day and knew exactly what noise to make and how. It's like little girls immediately know how to nurture. It's so much fun watching his mind work as he plays with his toys or flips through his books. Right now he is having trouble enunciating his T's. So, when he says truck it actually comes out duck, or tractor is dactor. I try to be very articulate when I say these words so hopefully he will understand. Our friend Alana had the same issue with Jack except his T's were F's. Needless to say she was nervous every time he saw a truck in the store;) He can say it the right way now so I am not too worried about Austin.

This is the life!

Libby has really loved being a "Cuntree" dog. She is 11 and probably in the best shape of her life. She has 4 1/2 acres of land and plenty of room to sun bath, chase animals she'll never catch, and roll in God knows what. Austin shares her enthusiasm of the great outdoors, but we don't let him roll in things. Just can't wait for warmer weather so we can all jump in the pool!

Austin got a grill for Christmas...or is it a shopping cart?

Apparently, Austin hasn't really watched Keith grill. I think he is a little confused as to how it is supposed to be used. Oh well, he is having a good time with it!

Baby it's cold outside!

They are talking snow down here!!! I know you folks in Kansas don't feel sorry for me, but I don't think they even have snow plows down here. If it snows the whole state shuts down! I guess I will be one of those crazies in Walmart buying water and toilet paper. Hope everyone had a Happy New Years. Keith and I are going to Cancun this May and we have to get our bodies back into shape. I guess that could be our New Year Resolution, but I think I am going to add another one. I am going to try and enjoy life a little more. Not stress out so much. That may not seem like a big deal to most, but to any of those who really know me I stress out to the point I make myself sick. I try not to, but I am a "bit" of a control freak;) and when I start to lose control I start to have panic attacks. I know our family doesn't have a great track record with heart attacks, and I seem to have some sort of Lymph Node problem that has stumped the medical world. So, in order to be healthy and not drive my husband crazy, I am going to make an extra effort to just breath and settle down. Wish me luck! Stay warm everyone.
