Blueberry pancakes!

We had a great Saturday! Rob had switched his days off this week as we went to the Avs game today with his family. So we were able to enjoy a family morning! Daddy was the best as he let me sleep in a little bit and played with Austin! We gave Austin blueberries for the first time about a week ago and he likes them just like his Daddy likes blueberries! So we decided that we'd have a family breakfast this morning and all have blueberry pancakes!

When I came downstairs this morning, Austin and Daddy were already making the pancakes!
What a sight...it makes my heart melt! I love them both so much!

We're not too messy yet....

YUM!!! I LOVE blueberry pancakes!

Yeah for pancakes...look at that face! You can tell I enjoyed them!

Enjoy the video!

Fun Christmas presents!

Austin was spoiled by many friends and family for Christmas! Here are a couple of his presents! Getting ready to go down the slide on the little play gym that Grandma and Grandpa Hunt got Austin...Daddy put it together last Monday so we played with it inside a little before taking it outside!

Austin LOVES to swing!

The drum Grandma and Grandpa Leaycraft got him!

Austin the 9 month old!!

It's hard to believe our little man is 9 months old! He has changed so much in the last month and especially in the last couple of weeks...we can see his personality coming out more and more! We took Austin to the doctor last Monday for his 9 month appointment and he's now 20 lbs and 28 inches!! He's learned to pull himself up...and did so in his crib for the first time on Christmas morning so naps have been interesting lately (be sure to look at the pictures!) and he's now crawling up all our stairs multiple times!

No more leaving the burp cloth on the side of the crib! Austin pulled himself up Christmas morning to get it!

Crawling up the stairs...

All worn out on New Year's Eve!

Life is rough....

All sorts of playing!

I've been out of school for two weeks so with that and the holidays, there have been lots of special occasions lately and fun times with special friends!!

Playing Deal or No Deal with Aunt Juju and Uncle Ray-Ray at Dave & Busters to celebrate Julie's birthday!!

Austin got to play with friends Madelyn and Jonathon after they had us over for breakfast!

We spent New Year's Eve with the Brandts!! Nyah shared her toys with Austin and helped him play the piano!

We went over to the Craft's house and Austin was able to play with Genesse who is 6 weeks younger! Her dad, Justin, and Rob grew up together and it's going to be fun to watch the two kids grow up too!

Playing at MY GYM with Mommy!!

Austin LOVES the swings!

Austin's 1st Christmas...

We had a GREAT first Christmas with Austin! Rob ended up having Christmas Eve off so we enjoyed some family time! We went to church on Christmas Eve and then on Christmas morning had breakfast, opened some presents, and in the afternoon we headed to Rob's parents house to celebrate Christmas with them. We opened presents there and then my parents came from Estes in the afternoon and we ALL had Christmas dinner together which was very special. The day after Christmas, we celebrated with my parents.

Daddy and Austin before we left for church...I think this is one of my very favorite pictures of the two of them together!!

Austin in his new Christmas jammies in front of the tree before heading to bed on Christmas Eve!

Me and my little man!


Getting ready to open his stocking on Christmas morning!

Watching Austin open presents was fun...and slow! He loved the paper!

A present to Austin and Grandpa Leaycraft from Grandma...seat belts for Lizzie, Grandpa's 1929 Model A!! I've told them Austin couldn't ride until Lizzie had seat belts...now Grandpa just has to wait until spring!

Merry Christmas Eve!

Rob, Austin, and I wish you all a VERY Merry Christmas! We hope everyone has a joyous holiday! We are so thankful for this year and all that it has brought!! We wanted to share some of our joy from today....

Austin says Merry Christmas!

Smiles and a picture with Mommy!

Austin opening his first Christmas gift...we thought we might start since it seems to take Austin a while to open presents....

Austin found one of Daddy's presents and decided to help him open it!

A fun few days....

We've been busy the past few days...'tis the season! But we've had lots of fun times! Here are a few pics!

Austin's godmother, Julie Sykes, came to town so we went up to Estes to visit her!

Daddy actually said he had to go grab the camera to take a picture of Austin and I in our "matching" pajamas!!

We went to visit Daddy at work and take him a little lunch on Sunday before heading to Estes. My two handsome men!

While in Estes, Grandpa Leaycraft finally got to show me the elk right outside their condo on the golf course!

A quick picture with Aunt Juju and Uncle Ray!
