Happy 8 month Birthday Austin!

Dancing

There is nothing cuter than watching Dean imitate the dances he sees on his favorite show Backyardigans. He has them all memorized. I know he feels proud when he catches me watching him with a smile on my face.

Today I had Austin on my lap on the couch in the family room and Dean was next to us. Austin was screaming with excitement that his big brother was so close talking to me. Dean mistook Austin's screaming for something being wrong with him. So Dean asked him "Baby Austin, what's wrong? Are you ok?" Then Dean ran to the kitchen saying to us "It's ok, I got it" and opened the refrigerator (I have to get a lock for that) and came back with a bottle for Austin and said "I got it!" and pushed the bottle into Austin's mouth. Austin had just eaten so he definitely wasn't hungry, but it was so cute and nice of Dean to do that for his brother. He takes such good care of him.

Back from Vacation

Well I recharged my batteries while in Cabo with a friend for a couple of days. Since I've been back, I'm taking on big projects around the house everyday. I try to get a lot done during naptime. Today, I cleaned out the pantry and our car. I also went for a run in the morning, so now I'm beat and haven't even started dinner yet. Since I've been back Kevin had events to attend after work, so I guess I had perfect timing with my trip. His brother is in town this weekend and they have a full fun weekend planned of golfing and going to a baseball game. We thought about them taking Dean to his first game, but we weren't sure how long Dean would actually sit in the seat. So it's me and the little ones this weekend. I'll try to take them somewhere fun so that the weekend doesn't pass us by without them getting to do anything.

Dean is saying "I love you" a lot and I love every time he says it. It's so cute to hear. The boys were happy to see me after my trip, but I think they had fun with kevin while I was gone. It's a good change for them to be around other people nonstop and not just me.

Some more Easter pictures

Just wanted to share some Easter pictures that we took...

Easter

We had a good Easter despite the rain. Dean liked coloring eggs and had fun with his new goodies from the Easter bunny. Kevin and I left him unattended with his basket while we made breakfast and he ate his entire chocolate bunny in 5 minutes. He didn't touch his breakfast after that.

When we were coloring eggs, I took out the metal octogon shaped spoon that the coloring kit came with and Dean pointed to it and called it a stop sign.

Easter Egg Hunt

Easter is coming...

I had good intentions today to try to make it to the store with the 2 kids and get some Easter shopping done. I wanted to pick some things up for the party we're having tomorrow here at the house. Ialso need to get things for the Easter baskets Sunday. Note to self: NEVER shop for Easter candy/stuffers with the kids again. I happened to be the only mom there with the kids. Not sure where all the other moms had their kids, but I guess they're in school. There were plenty of mom's out at Target today in the Easter section!

So we did make it to the store, but we weren't there very long. Unfortunately my list was too long and the store was too crowded. Not to mention both kids in my cart were whining/crying a lot of the time. So I had to leave in the middle of my list which can be very frustrating as now I'll have to try to go back later tonight when Kevin gets home from work. For most people that isn't a big deal, but Kevin gets home about 7:45 and that means I won't be able to get to the store before 8pm and I'm already ready to crash and it's only 4:30 at the moment. Ugh.

Hopefully the weather is ok tomorrow as it is forecasted to rain and we're planning to have an egg hunt in the backyard.

Austin's getting his first tooth! It's so cute and exciting!
