Fire Station Tour

For those of you who don't know, this week is Fire Safety week! In honor of Fire Safety week I arranged for a Fire Station Tour for our playdate group! It was so cool! The Firemen were super nice and did a great job talking to the kids. They taught them how to stop, drop and roll. They showed them all the gear and had one of the men get into the full get up! There is a lot more too it than I thought! They are tested and have to be able to get everything on in less than 60 seconds! The best part was when we got to play on the truck! The kids just loved it, and Mommies got some great photo ops! Unfortunately our tour got cut short after that. We heard the alarms go off in the station and the Firemen were off! It was kind of cool to see them drive away in the truck while the kids stood outside and waved them goodbye!
Afterwards I had lunch with a couple friends and then finished up some errands. We have tons to do this week before our big trip to Wisconsin! This will be our first plane ride with Austin, so we are nervous and excited. I'm also happy to report that my camera has been found and I will be getting it back on Friday =)



Some of my Mommy friends were nice enough to take photos for me today =)

Happy 18 Months!

Happy 18 Months to Austin! I can't believe how fast my little baby is growing up! It seems like only yesterday that we were checking into the hospital and awaiting his arrival. The past 18 months have been the happiest of my life. Austin is an amazing little boy, always happy and has tons of personality! He amazes me every single day! I can't wait to see what the next six months will bring, 2 is just around the corner! I love you Little Guy!

5 things that made me Smile this week

One of my Mommy friends does a weekly blog called "5 things that made me smile this week" I think it is such a cute idea that I'm going to start doing it too! I just love reading her blog..so I hope everyone will enjoy mine too haha! So here goes, my 1st "5 THINGS THAT MADE ME SMILE THIS WEEK"

1. Austin running into Papa arms! We made a quick trip to CS on Wed. to see my parents. Austin loves all of his grandparents very much but has never really run up to my dad to give him hugs voluntarily. So I know it made him happy when he said "Austin, come to Papa" then stretched out his arms, and Austin came running up to him for lots of hugs and kisses! It was so sweet I wanted to cry haha!

2. Game night. Tim and I love to play games! Especially card games, and now we have friends who do too! Markus can Shannon came over Monday night with the kids for our very first game night! The kids played and watched a movie while the adults played a game of spades. Molepske's 1, Reagor's 0! better luck next week guys hehe!

3. New Recipes. Last week I went to a recipe swap with my Moms group. I got some wonderful recipes and decided to try a few out this week. We had a yummy Asian dish, stuffed peblano peppers, and super easy chicken tacos! All 3 were great and it was nice to try something new!

4. Playdate at my house. Tuesday I had a playdate at my house. I love hosting things at our house. I set up snacks and coffee for everyone to enjoy. The kids played and the Moms got to chat, which I always enjoy!

5. Soccer Practice. On Sat. Tim and I were babysitting 6 and 4 year old boys!! We got to take them to soccer practice, which was very fun! Austin just loves Colton and Caleb, they are so sweet to him. At one point Tim and I both looked in the back seat and said.."3 boys could be nice" LOL! It was cute to watch how Austin reacts to the boys. Everything they do and say is HILARIOUS to him! I really think Austin is starting to talk more lately thanks to being around all of his older friends!

Hope everyone has a great week!

1, 2, 3!!!

Since I've become the organizer for My Mom's group, we have been busy busy!! Last weekend we were in Dallas for a wedding. Jay and Meg who we have both known for years now tied the knot. They had a beautiful and fun wedding! Aunt Kristin was nice enough to watch Austin so that Mommy and Daddy could enjoy the festivities. =)

This week Austin and I hosted a play date at our house, made a quick trip to CS, and went to the library. Tomorrow we will be bowling! My camera is missing in action, so no pictures for now =(

But Tim did take this video at the mall..Austin thought it was so much fun to swing up in the air after counting to 3. It is really amazing how many new words he is getting out each day! I'm sure tomorrow will bring a new word!

Organizer! wahoo!

Today was a good day! I have been a member of a Mom's group here in Georgetown for several months now. I have really enjoyed getting to know the mom's in the group, it's amazing how I just "clicked" with some of the ladies so quickly and have made some amazing friends! Austin really enjoys our outings and loves playing with his friends! About a month ago the Organizer of our group made me an assistant organizer! I was so thrilled! This allowed me to host play dates, and schedule all kinds of fun things for our group. Well, our organizer just found out that she is expecting her third child! So she has handed the group to me!!! I am so excited! I LOVE hosting and planning things! I can't wait to do fun crafts, awesome play dates and outings! I just hope I do her proud! =) So stay tuned for pictures and blogs about MY Mom's group hehe! Love it!

Happy Grandparent's Day!!

For those of you who don't know, September 13th is Grandparents Day!! Austin is so lucky to have 4 amazing Grandparent's and 2 wonderful GREAT Grandmothers! We are so blessed to have them in our life! They do so much for us and love us so much!! Austin told me that his only complaint so far is that he doesn't get to see them enough! I told him we would have to work on that ;) We love our GG, Jojo, Grams, Papa, Grandma and Grandpa very much! So..

Mommy!!

I keep forgetting to blog about this!! We have just been so busy lately! But in the last week or so Austin has started saying MOMMY! His first word was Mama, and he still uses that a lot. But now I'm getting lots of Mommy's from him too!! It just melts my heart every time I hear it! He is really working on getting more letters and sounds out! He is starting to develop his own little vocabulary LOL He will also say "Wuu" Which is for his dog Wucy...aka Lucy haha! I guess we are getting to what I call the "speaking chinese" stage haha! This is where only you and your husband can understand what the heck your toddler is saying! I love it! But I'm glad I finally remembered to share this!
