Brother's

Saturday morning Austin wanted to go with me to get Ryan out of his crib. When we got in there Ry was wide awake and ready to play. Austin asked me if he could get in Ry's crib. At first I didn't want him to, but then I thought why not? I ended up having to grab my camera to capture the fun they were having! Enjoy...

Daddy's Little Helper

Keith has started his parents kitchen, hall and bathroom floor renovation. Austin was VERY helpful! He made sure that when we got dressed this weekend that he had on "work" jeans just like daddy and had to take his tool box to help Keith tear up the old floors. He was very serious about it and did not appreciate me saying how cute he was. He responded by "Mama, I am not cute. I am working."

Goof Balls

Sometimes I think I may have the goofiest kids on the planet. People don't believe me, but spend a weekend at Kirkland Manor and you will see. Austin thought it would be funny to run around in Keith's helmet. Let's just say it was a little big on him and he looked like a giant bobble head doll. Then we were sitting on the sofa watching cartoons when Austin started signing a song he just made up. I am not really sure what it was about but he thought it was hilarious. Ryan just pretended like he didn't know him. These two are crazy.

Our trip to NASA

Last weekend we took a family trip to Huntsville. While Daddy and Uncle Matt played golf I decided to take the boys to the Space and Rocket Center. It was amazing! I will have to take them back when they are a little bigger so they can do the helicopter simulator and the rides. Austin had fun walking around the rocket park outside, but his favorite part was the gift shop;)

Bounce!

I think Ry is going to be a little dare devil. He loves to bounce as high as he can. The higher and rougher the more he laughs. He also loves to be startled. He thinks it's hilarious if you can catch him off guard with a loud "Boo!" We are going to have to keep an eye on this one!

Night owl

Our littlest one has already started teething! So far he is taking it like a champ, but he has started waking up at night and is wide awake and ready to play. This may be a loooonnnggg few months.

Party time!

Sorry it's been awhile since the last post, but it has been busy busy busy at Kirkland Manor! I had a great visit with the beautiful Petty women at our family lake house, and this weekend we had Austin's 4th birthday party. Man, these kids sure do grow up fast! He got so many great things and had a blast. We stuck to a simple and small party at the house. I don't understand why parents try to go overboard with these birthday parties now a days. All you need is cake, presents and great folks and everyone has the same great time as they would if you spent a fortune on decorations and big venues. Anyway, here on some pics that my wonderful sister in-law took since I am horrible at remembering the camera:)
