Where Oh Where is Daddy?


Austin and Connor love to wrestle:)



Playing trucks together


Daddy's home!!!! Allen got home yesterday afternoon and oh my gosh the boys were so excited to see him...so was I:) Alas, he's gone again. Allen is at the new house trying to get it ready for us to move into and he's spending the night and possibly the next 2 nights there and I've been trying to pack when I get a chance, which I should probably be doing as we speak but I need a moment.

Austin is so excited because Daddy brought him home some more Japanese model trains and he is in love with them! He thinks he's such a big boy to be getting such special trains. Austin's been practicing dialing 911 lately on his play phone and we're in the process of making him his own little phone book with our phone number and the numbers of some family to practice. He is taking it very seriously and always reminds me that I can only dial 911 on the real phone if it's really an emergency:) Austin has also been doing great with putting jigsaw puzzles together. We got him a set of 4 - 12 piece vehicle puzzles and he does them all on his own and then a couple days ago he completed his 24 piece giant fire truck puzzle all by himself! He is so smart:)

Connor is in love with any kind of vehicle, mostly his big brother's vehicles! I have the best video of him standing at the coffee table and pushing a transporter truck while making some really cute truck noises! It's priceless! He's been getting more daring standing unsupported and trying to take steps on his own. He loves being outside with his big brother and playing in the tunnel and sandbox. I can't believe he's going to be 1 soon! Oh, these cheeky monkey's grow up so fast:)

Gone Baby Gone


The boys on Easter Sunday


Austin hanging out in his playhouse


Going for a drive:)


Checking out the Easter Bunny during an egg hunt @ local church


Well Allen's gone again:( He left on Tuesday for almost 3 weeks in Japan and the weather has been so cold and rainy the past few days that I've just been in a foul mood and trying not to let the boys notice.

The boys are being boys:) It's so funny to see them start rough housing with each other and playing together. Austin has been using the word "fantastic" a lot lately to describe anything and everything and last night he made dinner for Mommy and Connor. He cut up some fruit salad with his own plastic knife and cutting board and put all the ingredients on our mini pizza's. He was so proud of himself and it was a delicious dinner!

Since about 3 weeks ago Connor has refused to eat jar food. The only thing he will let Mommy and Daddy feed him is yogurt and his bottles. Other than that he wants all the big boy food and wants to get it himself:) On Easter Sunday he stood up unsupported in the backyard at Moesie's for 30 secs! It was awesome.
