Weekend in Granbury, Tx

On August 7th, Austin and I flew to Dallas to visit Aunt Putt and Uncle JP. The flight was so much fun!! Austin did great... the flight attendants LOVED him so much that he got to help make the announcements! After sipping some juice during take-off he fell asleep. He didn't experiance any problems with his ears not equalizing...thank goodness!

Chrissie picked us up at the airport and we drove back to Granbury...after we took a small detour to go buy some delicious grub at Central Market! The HEAT was on in the Dallas area!! Holy Moly!! Austin had to wear his sunglasses and sip water frequently!

The funnest part of the whole trip was going with Chrissie to see Doctor Tabor for her check-up! It was amazing getting to see Baby Braylin Jae on the sonogram machine! She is PERFECT and HEALTHY and I am SOOOO proud to say that I got to feel her kick me through her mommy's tummy! AUST CAN'T WAIT TO MEET HIS BABY GIRL CUZ!!

During the day Chrissie had to work, so one afternoon Marla Moo took us for a swim at a local pool. It was alot of fun! Austin seems to love the water, and his little (or big) legs kick real hard!! I think he will be a natural swimmer!

Austin had many "firsts" this weekend... I wasn't able to capture all of them on camera, but here is a low-down on a couple:

*First time to fly

*First time to eat bananas

*First parking garage in the BIG CITY

*First time a public swimming pool

*First time to get licked by a puppy dog (Fibi..who doesn't believe she is a D-O-G..shhh)

*First time to have lunch at Uncle Julios with people eating lunch (he had cereal and prunes)

*First time to go to Church!! It was awesome!!

I know I'm leaving A LOT out (sorry Chrissie..help me rememeber) but that's a few. The pictures probably won't be in order... so you'll just have to take them in stride.

I am soooo blessed to have such an amazing sister! I am so excited to become an Aunt to a beautiful baby GIRL named Braylin Jae!!! I LOVED our time together. Austin and I had a wonderful week full of many adventures...and I can't wait to go back.

Hahahahahahaaaaa!!!!!

WOOHOO!!

AUSTIN'S POOL (thank you Nonnye!!)

Well.. Baby Aust got his verrrrrrry own swimmin pool.... so today we tried it out!! :) He put on his baby splasher diapers (so we don't have any floaters in the pool) and dove in!

POOL RULES:

1.) Only Aust can pee in the pool

2.) Don't splash cold water on his shoulders and he will be just fine. (he's not real sure about the cold water up that high yet...kinda scary)

3.) Have towel ready as soon as you exit

Other than that... anything goes! He loved it... good times.

4th of July Roadtrip!!

(the pictures are NOT in order... so excuse me...) MY VERY FIRST LAKE TRIP!! The water was VERY fun to stare at...

Sitting outside Aunt Putt's house.... enjoying nice weather and good company after the long road-trip.

FIRST STOP AFTER 3 HOURS OF INTERSTATE... JUST A SNACK AND DIAPER CHANGE IS ALL.... IN THE PARKING LOT OF DIARY QUEEN!!

peek-a-boo... I'm still here Aust... go back to sleep dragon face!

Over this past week.. baby Austin has ventured out of his "Odessa-bubble" and all over Texas!! We began in Lubbock, then to Granbury to visit Aunt Putt for the fourth, back to Lubbock.. and finally home! It was the longest we have been away, and he did AWESOME!! While in Granbury, Aust got to experiance the lake, sunshine, and fireworks! He LOVED IT! I wish I would have taken more pictures, but I forgot my camera while we were at the lake. (Hopefully Chrissie can email me some she captured on her phone and I'll post them). He was stylin in his red, white, and blues all weekend...and ofcourse his aviator sunglasses (thanks uncle Rob) CUTEST ONE!! Much to my suprise he slept from Lubbock to Merkel (3 hours) in the car before waking up to eat/change diaper. On the way home, he slept from Granbury to Post... amazing!! WHY DOESN'T HE SLEEP LIKE THAT WHEN IT'S JUST ME AND HIM DRIVING?? I guess he likes having company sit beside him in the backseat... spoiled baby!! :) Thank you Nonnye and Aunt Putt for an amazing week!! LOVE LOVE LOVE :)
