Happy Saint Patty's Day!!

Zoo

Austin and I went to the zoo today. Although it was fun I will Never go back again during spring break! The line to get into the zoo was stopped up on the highway. Then all the parking was full including the overflow parking. So I parked BEHIND the zoo and walked all the way around to the front. At least I didn't have to pay for parking and I really got my workout on. The first time Austin went to the zoo he wasn't to into it. This time he had a great time! I think his favorite part of the zoo were the elephants. He does a great elephant impression! He also liked watching to Otters. They were very cute, chasing each other and playing. I didn't get many pictures because it was just me and him so they wouldn't turn out very good. Here is the video of Austin looking at the elephants. He is saying, "Elephants, Elephant, Austin is here! "

Here are the cute Otters resting after chasing each other.

We went to the petting farm and the animals wanted nothing to do with all the crazy people. Austin was yelling at the goats to come here and brush.

My accomplishment

In January I start a program called Couch to 5k. It is a program that gets you prepared to run a 5k. I ended the program in March and ran my first 5k on Saturday! I ran the three miles in 36 mins and only walking for at the most 5 minutes! Im so proud of myself and can't wait to run another one! I ran it with a coworker , well I say I ran it with her but she took off and ran it in 28 minutes.

Fort Worth Science Museum

I had President's Day off so we got into the car with Grandpa and went to the newly redone Science museum in Fort Worth. They opened a new children's area that wanted to check out with Austin. We meet Aunt Kimberly, Caroline, and Alayna there too!

We first went into the dinosaur area! He wasn't to sure about the huge dinosaur skeleton that was in the middle. I thought it was pretty cool! There is also a molding of a footprint that kids can sit in. Austin wouldn't do it until Alayna did it. Once he saw that baby Alayna could do it he was all for sitting in the footprint.

Then we went into the children's area and it wasn't very long until Austin spotted the trains! He was in the train section for most of the time. I had to take the train away from him and carry him away from it do other things!When I got him away from the trains we went into the grocery store section. That is where you shop for food and then check it out.

Then it was back to the trains for awhile. Kimberly and Dad had a great time too!!!

Here is Caroline saying "CHEESE" and here is Alayna chillin in her stroller!

A Snowy Day!

Record snow in Ft. Worth!!! We had about 10 inches of snow in one day!! I cannot believe it! It all started on Thursday. We had school and had to watch the snow through the window. The district actually canceled school for Friday on Thursday night! This is shocking for our district! They normally don't call school till almost 7 in the morning when I am half way there! I have so many pictures I don't even know where to start! I tried to get Austin out in the snow many times but he just doesn't like it! I think he doesn't like the wet cold feeling. He stayed in the garage or under the porch while I played! Thursday night Steven and I went outside together and played shoveled the snow and threw a couple snowballs around. It was really fun. On Friday, Daddy did get him to pick up some snow and throw a couple snowballs.

Here is a little video of some of the pictures for our Snowy Day!!

Happy New Year!

It has been a very busy beginning of the year for us! Austin is talking so much and is trying to get away with everything! He is going to be a little handful this year! A couple mornings ago he woke up at 4:30 and instead of crying or screaming he yelled, Cock- a-doodle-doo! Time to wake up!!! It was so funny to hear but would have been funnier if it wasn't 4:30!! While putting away the Christmas boxes Steven found his old Hot Wheels. We decided to let Austin play with them only when we were watching him. I didn't know Hot Wheels could be a babysitter!! Austin played with them for two hours straight ! I probably could have taken a nap!

He loves to line them up in a row. Then take the front car and move him to the back row. I really would love to know what he is thinking when playing with them.

As most of you guys know, he loves the Imagination Movers. Well, he has a new love now. Elmo, Trains, and CARS! He loves the movie CARS! Papa has given him the hot wheel like car of Lightning McQueen, Doc and Mater. He loves those cars! He takes them everywhere. It is really hard to keep up with them because they could be anywhere in our house! I wanted to share a picture of what Austin looks like while watching the movie Cars. A few weeks ago it was just me and Austin at home and I wanted to take a shower. So, I put the movie and and took a shower. I came out of the shower and found Austin like this!

It is going to be a great year!
