 The aquarium was so fun. I love going to places that are made for children! There are play places and hands on things, benches everywhere and always a changing table in the restrooms!

Halloween

Happy Halloween

Flintstones
Wilma, Fred,
Bamm-Bamm and Pebbles
My family is such a good sport wearing all these cheesy costumes I make for them =)
 Jax did not want to wear this costume but told him he had to if he wanted to get candy
 Jordyn didn't seem to have a problem with hers

My little stinkers

  Jax had so much fun this year with Rex Layne going Trick-or-Treating
 SSOOOO CUTE! can you tell Aaron put her hair "bone" on.

SWU Homecoming w/ Austins

25 October 2013
Jordyn & Quorra
 Laura (Aaron's sister) was asked to speak at the homecoming chapel for her alumni university SWU in Central, SC. Aaron could not make it because he had to stay behind and finish qualifying for staff. We missed him but were real glad we made it to see the Austins. I'm the worst! I left the camera on the big day on campus were they had bounce houses and the boys had a ball! oh well at least I'm getting a little better about taking pictures.
 They were nice enough to share their hotel room with us and we had a party!

13 October 2013
 We were all getting dressed for church one Sunday and I looked around and said to Aaron. "Well if you change your tie we could all be matching." So he did =)

Sunday Quiet Book

10 October 2013
I am so excited about this book I made. I hope my kids are just as excited in sacrament. The front cover is a piece of a baby blanket that was mine but was falling apart, most of the rest of the book came from a play book that my Aunt Diane made for us kids when we were little a long time ago.
"Make a funny Face"
 The face and most of the pieces came from Aunt Diane
 "Story Time"
All the characters came from Aunt Diane
 Tick Tack Toe w/ Bows and Buttons and a collage for I-Spy
 I-Spy again and practice shoe tying 
 Back pocket for any extras like crayons and paper

Aaron Turns 27 Years

10th September 2013
 Aaron turned 27 on the 11th of September
He requested an ice cream cake from cold stone. I think we all loved it!! We spent the day downtown just walking around the shopping district and letting Jax play in the Pineapple fountain. Since Aaron had to go to work the night of his Birthday we spent 2 days celebrating.

 27 September 2013
 I've been telling myself forever that I'm going to make come hair bows for Jordyn and I finally did! I was surprised how well they turned out. They're not the best pics of Jordyn but she always looks cute =)

24 August 2013
I love this video. Aaron caught this while Jax was playing ball out back.


Jordyn

31 August 2013
 Jax absolutely loves his sister. He asks to hold her all the time. So this is him "holding"her. That and he thinks that he's big enough to pick her up, which mommy doesn't really like... Good thing she's so tough because Jax likes to lay on Jordyn and throw pillows at her. Sometimes she just laughs, it's a good thing she loves him too.

6 September 2013
oh I love those chubs! I just want to squeeze her!
 Looks like we've got another toe head baby! Most of the dark hair has fallen out and blonde is comin in.
"ya?"
9th Sep 2013

Hands and knees already baby, crawling before 6 months here we come!
People keep asking how old Jordyn is and my response is "5 months and ya my kids need to chill out!" Both Jax and Jordyn have been so strong. Most people are surprised how strong she is. She is always wanting to sit up and be in the middle of all the action.
17 April 2013
Jordyn 5 days old
I had stopped posting videos cause they wouldn't load, but it's working again and I wanted to share this one! I caught Jax taking care of Jordyn. Jax has absolutely loved Jordyn since the day she came into our lives! I love my sweet children!
