Boo at the Zoo

It was a BEAUTIFUL day for Boo at the Zoo! It was a little windy when we first got there but still lots of fun!! Rob, Austin, and I went and Grandma and Grandpa Leaycraft joined us as well as Aunt Deb and cousins Abigail and Paul!

Austin dressed as a monkey which was appropriate...we have called him a monkey for quite a while now. He started as our drool monkey and he LOVES it when Daddy makes monkey noises so...now we have all sorts of monkey things. He has a puppet, a couple of toys, as well as several monkey shirts. And I even have a monkey key chain to remind me of our little monkey man! When we get his 6 month pics back, I'll let you know as we even took a few of his pictures with his monkey puppet! We're hoping his costume may even fit him again next year since it was 6-18 months and a little big this year!

Leaving for Florida...

We leave for Florida on Monday for a week! I am looking forward to being off school for a week with both my men! Rob is playing once again in the Assistant's Championship in Port St. Lucie. It is our first time for the three of us to fly together so it should be fun and exciting! This is the first year I won't be able to watch Rob play but Austin and I will probably go over at the turn to at least blow Daddy kisses! This is our one "family getaway" each year as just us and this is the first time it's the three of us...well Austin was there last year, I guess :) I was 16 weeks pregnant when we went last year!



If you want to follow Rob's progress starting on Thursday, I think this should be the link.... http://www.pga.com/pgaofamerica/events/assistantppnc/2008/



I am taking the computer and if I load the picture program, I may try to update the blog while we're there with pictures!

How our little man has changed...

It's still amazing to us how fast our little man has grown and how he changes! Austin was born on the Rockies opening day in St. Louis. On Friday after he was born, it was their home opener here in Denver so we put him in a 6/9 month jacket. Well, today, I put him in the same jacket and had him hold the same baseball...needless to say, he's grown into a little bit and he was certainly more interested in the baseball!! And don't worry, I've changed the sheets in last 6 months :)

One BIG pumpkin

On Monday night, we headed over to Jason, Nicole, Nyah, and Reece's for dinner! They gave Austin a pumpkin which I think was bigger than both Nyah and Austin put together!!! Nyah was so proud of "Baby Austin's" pumpkin! THANKS!!!!

Estes weekend getaway!

Austin and I headed to Estes last weekend. We stayed with my parents (Grandma and Grandpa Leaycraft) Friday and Saturday night since Rob was working. It was nice to have a couple of extra sets of hands during the weekend and I was even able to get a pedicure which was FABULOUS!!

On Saturday morning after getting up, Austin and I played in bed...I certainly enjoy my weekends with him especially after working all day Friday!

Austin practiced his piano skills with Grandma while we were there...I am afraid his piano may not be quite as fun anymore!! He helped Grandma practice for church on Sunday (she plays for Sunday service at the YMCA). The first time he hit the keys, he looked around like he had done something wrong -- we just clapped and he went right back to it!

We went to the Dunraven on Saturday night...my favorite place to eat when in Estes. It was Austin's first trip. He sat in the high chair and was such a big boy! He was so good while we were there...just playing and hanging out!

Grandpa took Austin up for kids church on Sunday...the theme was butterflies! Bill, the pastor who married us and baptized Austin, had special butterfly cookies so Grandpa ate Austin's!

Some random pics...

We've been taking Austin to MY GYM for about two months...he loves the gym and gets so excited! I couldn't resist this picture in the balls last week! We're taking a couple of weeks off since we're going to Florida for Rob's golf tournament but we'll be headed back when we're home!


Austin is rolling himself all over the place when he wants something!! No, he's not crawling and we're not in any hurry for him too either! Anyway, like a typical man, he found the DVR last week...Daddy came home from getting coffee and wasn't so excited about it. Austin even managed to turn the stereo system on....

Austin likes to help out with the laundry...Daddy's a little more brave than I am but Austin likes the ride!!

One tired little man...

I think these are some of my favorite moments with Austin. He is SUCH a sweetheart and so much fun...but there is something about when he falls asleep and is OUT!! I love cuddling which probably has something to do with it. On both Friday night and tonight he had those times which you can see in the pics...

Jail break...we guess Austin was trying to escape but got tired in the process :)
