Bath Tub Parties

Ok, so I thought I caught up on my last post, and now 3 months have gone by and I found pictures from Thanksgiving that I like so much, I am still going to post them! My entire family was together so there are some priceless pictures. Here are my awesome brothers....

with us sisters...

with all the spouses and kids...
just the cousins...
Now back to March.
We took Austin to the pool for the first time! However, it was VERY cold. Once the temperature outside hits 80 degrees, they turn off the water heater. Well, the water was very cold (unless you're training for a triathlon). It looks like Austin's handling it better than me. SO... ...we had a family bath tub party to warm up!
Here's all of us working out in gym at our complex. Landon and Austin traded off between sets...


Austin's such a good sport (does he really have a choice though?)

It's nice to be able to hike in January. Landon's sweet to always carry our cute 21 extra pounds on these excursions...


We couldn't get Austin to smile, so we followed his lead-- looks like the good old days, eh?

Austin is very lucky. He has so many friends his age. Here are two of his buddies whose mothers I met in my birthing class at the hospital. These guys were all born within 2 weeks of each other-- Rylan, Max, and Austin.
And here are his friends from our complex and in our ward at church, all within 2 months of each other--Mylie, Garrett, Ethan, and Austin.
And although they don't live as close, (and this picture is outdated by four or 5 months) here are him and his cousins that were all born within 5 months of each other-- Avery, Jayden, Lincoln, and Austin.

I love the B&W picture where you three have serious faces. It really does look like a picture from the 1800's. You know you could have been upset that he wasn't smiling, but deciding to join him... wow, there's a parenting lesson. If you can't get your kids to do something you want them to do, just join them.

Thanks for the laugh!
