The Easter Bunny Came!

Austin's first Easter was this year. It was a great day. The EB came bright and early and brought some great things! It was so cute seeing him pick up and inspect the eggs. We went to my aunt and uncle's house in Peoria in the afternoon then to Cassandra's parent's house at night. Nothing like good food, good friends, food family, and good times. I can't wait until he is older and can actually do an egg hunt.

WOW! The EB bought him Peeps!

Calleigh's Birthday and Easter Bunny

Wow! What a busy weekend we had!! Saturday Austin's cousin Calleigh had her birthday party. She turned two last Friday. Then on Sunday, we went to Bass Pro Shop so Austin could see the Easter bunny!

Parties are so much fun!!

Picture Day!

I finally got around to asking a friend of ours to come take some pictures of Austin. He's 7 1/2 months old and we have no "frame able" pictures of him. Adam did a GREAT job! I know he says that he isn't a pro, but the pictures look great and I can't wait to get a few framed.

Austin was very well behaved. He got to play with things while we took pictures. We even did an outfit change!

One of my favorites. I love him so much!

On December 13th, 2008, Ryan and I took a picture right here as new husband and wife.

Happy Birthday, Cassandra!!

We took some time to celebrate Cassandra's birthday on Saturday. It was a few days after her birthday, but it was fun getting together with the family. Calleigh was very excited about seeing Austin. She even would go sit down on the blanket and wait for Austin. It was all fine and dandy until Austin started picking on her. Poor girl sure has some tough years ahead of her.

Happy Birthday, Cassandra!!

Austin is 7 months old now! Wow, I can't believe that in five short months he is going to be a year old!

My boys

We're 6 months!

Austin Hunter Smith is 6 months old! Wow! Where did the time go?

My love, the day we got to leave to come home

Is this the same boy? He's so big!!

All I do is grow, grow, grow!!!

Well it is official, Austin is getting to be a little boy. He has two teeth growing in and we can now sit on our own! He's still wobbley, but he can sit for about five minutes before tipping over.

I'm such a big boy!!

Hold on, I'm busy

Take Me Out to the Ballgame

Austin had a great time at Diamondback's Fan Fest 2011. This is a special event that the organization puts on. There are so many fun things like blow up bouncy houses, running the bases, playing catch with the players, and autograph sessions. The kids get free autographs and Austin got 8 autographs on the baseball that is on a shelf in his room. Only a few more weeks until Spring Training starts! Austin's first Spring Training game will be March 16th and his first regular season game for this season will be in April. (He's already been to his first game)

Had to eat before the autographs
