Spring time fun!

April has been busy with lots of activities...here are a few from the last week!

We took Austin to Sesame Street Live...checking it out with Daddy!

All Austin could say was "Elmo-Abby!" He loved it!

Austin is taking his first art class at the rec center!

Look what I made Mom!

"Gallery" time!

Me and Austin after class! I am a proud Mommy!

"Choo-choo"
We headed to the zoo for a class this last week and Daddy was able to come with us! So we rode the train for the first time!


We also celebrated Daddy's birthday!! Austin was really not into the birthday song for Daddy...

...but he was into testing out the cake!

Playing a little golf! Check out the facial expression...we wonder if he'll keep that as he gets older!

Getting ready to putt...

He had a BLAST playing golf...needless to say, I was not the popular person for making him leave to go eat dinner!

Rockies Home Opener!!

We headed to the Rockies Home Opener again this year!! Austin absolutely LOVES "BAY-BALL". He now says Rockies and does the Tulo cheer! It's cute, but of course, we are very prejudiced!! We had a fantastic time!


Love that smile!

Cheering the Rockies onto victory with Daddy!

We have a similar picture from last year...at the game with Grandpa and Grandma Leaycraft (aka Poppa and Nannie)!


With Poppa!



And Nannie!

Family picture by the field!

Heading to the car...but we'll be back soon!

Easter Egg Hunting....

We got to take part in a couple of Easter egg hunts on Easter weekend! On Saturday, we went to the rec center egg hunt! It was chaos but fun!! And on Sunday, we got to find eggs after church and then the Easter bunny came during nap so we got to find eggs with Daddy!!

Hunting for the perfect egg...

Look what I found!

Sun and Fun in San Diego...Spring Break 2010

We took our first family vacation since our honeymoon 5 1/2 years ago and headed to San Diego for Spring Break!! It was a most AMAZING time and we hope to do it again soon! We had great weather and fun at the beach, Sea World, and the zoo! And Austin got to meet Uncle 'B' and Angel for the first time! Here are a few pictures....we took over 600!
Asleep on the plane ride out...it was time for bed!
Austin was an AWESOME traveler! We were so pleased with how he did!
APPLE!
Austin ate his first whole apple...you can tell he loved it!!!

Austin and Uncle B in the pool! We could see the pool from our room which Austin loved!

Checking out the sea lions with Daddy at Sea World...the first day we went!

"Mu Mu" was a hit with Austin!! He still talks about "Mu Mu pool"...

Love the look on Austin's face! Uncle B and Angel came to Sea World with us the first day we went!

"I" as Austin calls it!
He loved touching the ice with Daddy!
I just love this shoot of Austin checking out the underwater part!

We spent the entire day at Sea World...10:30-5:30! Austin was a trooper but certainly worn out at the end of the day! Check out his "Mu Mu bay-ball and glub"...he loves 'em!


We enjoyed the beach one day too...Austin can now say he's had his feet in both the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans or pools...every body of water is a pool!!

Love the facial expression!! The water was a little cool but that didn't matter...the beach was one giant sandbox!!


Family picture at the beach!
Thanks Uncle Nick for taking a few pics for us!

I love this shot of my two favorite guys on the beach!!
Thanks Nick!

Mommy and Austin having a little fun on the beach too!

The beach sure wears a little man out!!

We headed to the San Diego Zoo one day too! Austin loves the zoo!
Austin loved the pandas...there was a baby and now every time he sees the pictures, he says "baby."

Koala bears!

Cool dude...saying cheers with the water!

Checking out the camels!

This vacation things is tiring!!!

We had to go check out Torrey Pines while we were so close too!

Sea World...Day 2!

Mommy and Austin

Last night...dinner on the beach with Uncle B!

Daddy and Austin checking out the upper bunk the last night!

We headed down to Seal Beach before our afternoon flight out! My two guys headed down to check it out!

Another family pic!

I love my little man!

From sand to snow....and 12 inches of it!
