Pumpkin Patch 2009!

I can't believe we have known been able to take Austin to the pumpkin patch for the second time.  Time sure is flying by fast.  Last year we could put Austin on the pile of pumpkins and he would sit there and just smile at us...this year was a little different.  Haha!  Not a bad different but just different.  He wanted to climb and not sit on the pumpkins, he wanted to look at everyone and everything but the camera, and would really only smile when Dad was behind the camera.  I think this is because he is used to me ALL the time and gets excited when he sees his daddy.  Well we still got a few good shots in next year will be lots of fun when we bring our two little pumpkins.  Austin and his little brother or sister!

Handsome Penguin!

So this past weekend my friend that I have had since third grade Trisha got married.  Can't believe we are all married now!  Well after Austin was born my aunt gave me the "tux" that my cousin Cody wore to my wedding.  I have to say that it melted my heart to see both of my men walking up to me last night.  I wasn't able to be with them all day as we had lots of girly things to do so David was in charge of little man as well as getting him dressed and then coming to the reception and he did a GREAT job!  Austin looked absolutely adorable and quite handsome.  I even think some of the little girls there loved how he looked because one little girl that was probably four or so grabbed his hands while he was walking around the dance floor and started dancing with him.  Wish my camera was in my hand because it was the cutest thing I have ever seen!  She was swinging his hands side to side and he was just standing there being a good sport.  Here are just a few of the pictures we took of our little handsome penguin....enjoy!  (You will have to ignore his swollen eye.  He got a mosquito bite the night before and he usually swells up when he gets one of those.  He still looks cute though!)

Mac N Cheese!

Austin definitely has some favorite foods but will really eat anything you give him.  The other night it was just the two of us so I decided to make him some Kraft Mac N Cheese.  He of course ate every single noodle that was placed on his plate and tried his best to use his spoon with picking up the food with his hand and then placing it on the spoon but soon realized he could get a lot more if he just shoved it all in his mouth.  Since he was taking huge chunks some would make it into his mouth and others on his shirt.  Austin is not one to waste or every leave food his loves behind so he made sure he got every noodle he dropped on his shirt as well as the ones that fell into his chair.  Haha!

Wow! I have a whole plate full on my shirt I still can eat.

Uh Oh!  I have a piece on my arm.

  No worries!  I will just lick it off!

Can't forget about what fell in my seat!

Austin and Daddy!

This time of year is hard on David because he is gone so much and doesn't get to spend that much time with little man.  The other night it was so sweet because after we gave Austin a bath David was carrying him to bed and Austin rested his head on his shoulder and I was not feeling that great and told David to go ahead and lay him down and he said "but he never does this!"  So he held him a little longer and just stood by his crib with Austin resting on his shoulder and I went and laid down.  I thought it was so sweet!  This past Saturday David taught Austin how to do football dances after you score a touchdown.  I got it on video and as soon as I get a cable that will allow me to download video to our computer I will add it for you all to see because another cute moment shared by father and son.  On Sunday, before David had to go to work they sat together and watched the Texans on TV.  Here is a picture!
