16 Month Doctor Visit

The time came again for Austin to have to pay the doctor a little visit...although he had lots of fun playing with the toys in the waiting room, the shots were by far the WORSE so far. He had to get 2 shots in one leg, and 1 shot in the other. I was told to hold him in my lap and squeeze his legs in between mine so he wouldn't move. After the first shot was given, it took all my strength to hold him down for the last 2. He cried and screamed and HATED every second. After it was all said and done, he got a cherry flavored sucker that helped dry those tears up...a little!!

Austin's Report:

*16 months old
* weighed 28 lbs, and 32 inches
*no more bottle, only milk from a sippy cup
*Doctor said he was perfect, and still a BIG boy! :)

First Hair-TRIM

Nonnye FINALLY talked me into trimming Austin's bangs...so here it is... the first time scissors have ever touched his baby hair ( and yes, i saved the few little pieces for his baby book)!! He did great.... and for his first REAL hair cut... i don't see that happening ANYTIME in the near future. :)

Cannon-Time!

JoJo and Linds took a trip to Vegas, so Cannon came to stay the weekend!! Our house turned into a play-land for these two boys....it was non-stop action!! I wasn't able to capture ALL the funny moments...but here's few:

 Nonnye bought the boys a water-table...MUCH FUN!

 The water-hose was a great source of entertainment!

 GOOD SWING CANNON!! THE BOY IS A NATURAL ATHLETE!

 Austin was soaking up everything his cousin was doing!

 DON'T SQUIRT ME CANNON!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will cherish the memories we made this weekend forever!! I was able to get a taste of what it will be like having two babies to care for......(2 juices, 2 snacks, 2 babies to load up in the car, 2 baths, 2 nap times, 2 diapers, OH MY GOSH...it goes on and on.) They did great together, only had a few arguments over which toy belonged to whom...(sharing is a hard one at times)...but it was a blast. I love having sweet Joe Cannon come stay with us!! Thank you Nonnye and Mark for helping!!

4TH OF JULY!!

Headed East !!

Austin and I loaded up with Dad and headed East for a FUN PACKED WEEKEND!! Our first stop was Decatear, Texas to watch Dad at the steer roping. He LOVED riding the horses and seeing all the steers.

Aunt Putt and cousin Braylin met us there for lunch...(as you can see, Aust spilled his drink...SO we were in the "spill" zone). For the rest of the weekend, Aust and I stayed in Granbury.

 The weather was SO very very hot...

 Chrissie, Jerad, Braylin, Austin and myself all took a trip to the Dallas Aquarium. It was a blassst!!

 OH....it's just a sloth sitting up in that tree....he isn't going anywhere.

 Bray and Aust checking out the sting-rays.

 HOLY MOLY AUST...A GIANT SEA-COW....?!?!

 Thank you Uncle Jerad for taking us on this adventure!! (Aust was pretty worn out...as you can see)

 The next day we loaded Chrissie's tahoe down AGAIN...and headed to see NANNY!! :)

 Aust found so many new things to explore at Nanny's house...

 Braylin or MUNCHKIN LAAAAAAAAAAND was just verrrrrrrry precious all weekend. SWEET SWEET baby girl!! :)

I LOVED spending some quality time with the family! WE def. took advantage of every second...rodeos, aquariums, lunches, visits to Nanny's... busy busy busy!! Thanks guys!

Some days in May....

So far May has been packed with TONS of fun memories! Below are a few pictures capturing the moments...

We had a little family outing at Osaka's Japanese Steak House. It was Austin's first time to watch a chef cook on the flat top stove right infront!! He LOVED watching and listening.

 He couldn't even BELIEVE it when the chef lit our stove on fire and the flame brightened up our table!

 "OHHHHH....HOT HOT," says Aust!!!

 One afternoon Aust and I drove to Big Spring to cool off in Aunt Cynthia's pool. Amanda and Dallin met us there and we had a ball!! After about 3 hours of play, we drove home..and Aust slept the WHOLE way! He was wore-out! :)

 So here we in the backyard...and AUSTIN FINALLY CONQUERED THOSE STEPS!!!

 HE REALLY CLIMBED ALL THE WAY UP WITHOUT MY HELP!! (That's a pretty big load for a little guy wouldn't ya say??)

 I MADE IT MOMMY!!! He was sooo proud of himself!

 1, 2, 3, WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Down the slide he goes...

Our precious baby boy. :)

Easter Morning Pics

This year's Easter Morning was spent at the Vasquez Granparent's house! I can't believe this is Austin's second Easter to celebrate!! He woke up to an Easter basket filled with goodies (Thank you Nini, Grandpa, Robbie, and Micheal!). We had an amazing time visiting with the whole family, the Lujan clan as well as the Vasquez family....oh....and as always, had WONDERFUL food to eat the entire weekend!!
