"Mommy beats me"

Okay, now I realize this sounds awful! Tonight as I was getting the boys ready for bed, Austin informed me that... quote unquote... "Mom, you are under arrest because you BEAT me." Flabbergasted I respond... "Excuse me??? Why am I under arrest???!"

Austin- "Well, because you beat me. You got Colin's pajamas on before I got mine on. You won the race! So you are under arrest!"


So yes. I did beat my child. Good night :)

TO BE!!!!

We will be moving on May 15th! Oh dear, I should sound so excited. It's going to be A LOT of work!

To be or not to be.... that is the question!

Easter 2010

Fran made her famous Bunny Cake again this year!!! Yummy :)
I am sure you'll all be surprised to find pictures of Colin eating!!!

The women behind the wonderful food :-) And by the way, all that food for 7 adults and 2 children!
Austin decided to skip the fruit and dive right into the fruit dip!

Notice how the boys are sitting at the grown up table.
This is where we ended up ;)

Colin's Chuck E Cheese Birthday Party

All the pics are unfortunately out of focus because the flash was not working. We had Colin's Birthday Party at Chuck E Cheese. Life couldn't get anything better for our munchy, food and fun!

Austin, Colin, Mom, Dad....

All written by himself!!! He is always making big strides when it comes to writing. I was soooo worried that he wasn't learning how to write his letters. Now I realize... Austin sings to his own tune... he will write when he wants to write, sing when he wants to sing and dance when he wants to dance! Earlier in the evening I asked him to write all of our names... this is what he came up with!! Lovin it :)


The artist himself!

Months of the year Macarena

There is a dance (The Macarena) that goes along with this song but I couldn't get them to do it. I'll update the video if I can get them to do the dance with the words. Too cute!

Austin's Spring Concert

Austin started a new school in February. He is in a class with his good friends Amelia and Ethan. He is doing wonderful. We've been practicing letters and numbers and Austin can write his name on his very own! The concert was fun to watch. For the first half of the concert, Austin was acting up and not really participating. He and the little boy to his right were taunting each other. It was pretty embarrassing considering they were the only children (out of 100) not paying attention. However, as soon as he saw grandma in the audience, he started singing the songs and doing the dances :)

Please notice Austin not paying attention. FANTASTIC!

Happy Birthday Colin!!

We woke up this morning to celebrate Colin's birthday and there was a foot and a half of snow. Spring time in Colorado :) Happy 2nd birthday my little munchy man! We love you to infinity and back ;)

Another Angel gets her wings...

Great Grandma, Marcile Lucius, passed away today 3/5/2010 at 3:30pm. She died peacefully in her sleep. GG has been bravely battling diabetes for nearly 30 years. She was sharp as a tack, witty, endearing and funny to the very end. She will be laid to rest in Ohio next to her husband. She was 87 years old. Her last words of advice to our family was to keep living like we've been living and to always keep smiling. I know that we will have no problem doing that GG :) The last thing she told me was she would see me on the other side. I will be looking for those beautiful wings to greet me because she was truly an angel :) You were very loved and will be missed.

Family Picture time

It was a valiant attempt but unfortunately the boys just could

not get into it. Oh well, they are still cute!

Colin and his cutness in full effect!

Need I say more...
:-)

He sure does clean up well!

Valentines Party at school...

Here's Austin and Amelia with their new teacher, Ms Nancy and Ms Victoria :)
Don't they make a cute couple ;)

Seriously, this kid just takes my heart!
