Imagination At Work

Austin has really started to play with a purpose these days. He no longer plays with things just to pacify himself or just to make noise. A few nights ago we came home to find his latest creation (with Nana's help, of course)....."Sheds." A boy with this many trucks definitely needs sheds!
He spends a lot of time pushing his trucks in and out of each slot so they can take "a nap" after a hard day of work. They even snore once they're safely in their place!No shed is complete without a place for your animals and beautiful landscaping. You'll notice that even the chickens (and a duck) have a place of their own.Next to his shed is the garage where he keeps his work and recreational vehicles -- his mail truck, race car and driver, and four wheeler. It's so neat to see his little imagination at work. I can't wait to see where it takes us next!

Pee-Wee, The Prairie Pigeon

We adopted a new pet at our house. Pee-Wee, The Prairie Pigeon has decided to make our nest his for awhile. We're not sure where he came from but he has a tag on his foot so someone claimed him at some point. Austin loves to chase Pee-Wee around. Nothing makes for better entertainment then an almost-two-year-old chasing a piegon. Poor bird didn't know what he was in for when he landed here!
(**I know, I know birds are gross and they scare the crap out of me too. Just to clarify, we have never touched Pee-Wee!)

Mother's Day 2010 Recap

On Friday night, Nana, Aunt B. and Austin surprised me with a gift that Austin had picked out all by himself. He told Nana and Aunt B. he wanted to get me "hair," so I a new hair brush and hair ties. So sweet!

Saturday we headed to Fairview to get my gift -- a new Droid Incredible! I was super disappointed when we found out they were out of stock, but now that I have it...it's well, Incredible!! I no longer have to hide my phone in embarrassment! I tried to give my old phone to Austin but even he won't play with it! After Verizon, we had lunch at Longhorn, which is my favorite place!

On Saturday evening we enjoyed dinner, cupcakes and yummy chocolate covered strawberries with Grandma K. We celebrated with Nana on Sunday night with very tasty ribeyes!

A Mother's love is the fuel that enables a normal human being to do the impossible.

Happy Mother's Day!
