I know I have been bad about posting on here. I have been really busy with work and Austyn, but this weekend was all about Austyn. Austyn has finally conquered her ear infection and cold. Its so much better having a happy baby, instead of a sick one. Also as most of you know Austyn's birthday is coming up in about a week and a half. We are so excited and so sad that our little girl is growing up, but she isn't so little anymore. She walks all the time now. She can say more words. And she is just a ball of energy. So for Austyn's birthday party (by little I really mean big. There is about 30 people that will be coming). We were going to spend the 20th of September cooking food then taking Austyn up to build a bear so she could pick out a little stuff animal. We really wanted to make a tradition for Austyn(even though she really won't remember it, it was still a fun time to spend with Austyn). Well we decided that on the 20th of September due to everyone coming over we took Austyn to build a bear early. Alex and I both picked out our favorite animal. I choose a monkey and Alex choose a horse. Well then we held them in front of her and had her choose the first one that she liked. Well it was the horse, but she absolutely loves her horse.


We had such a fun car ride down to build a bear. Austyn just kept trying to talk to us the whole time. What a big girl.

This is Austyn's horse on Daddy and Mommy's bed!!

After build a bear we decided that we wanted to go on a picnic. Fortunately it was a in the moment kind of thing and we luckily had a blanket in the trunk of our car...

While we were at the park we found this cat. We first thought someone brought there cat to the park, then we realized that the cat was a outdoor cat. Austyn kept wanting to pet it, but that was a no no.

This is the kitty kitty Austyn kept wanting to pet at the park. It was such a nice, sweet cat.

On the way home I turned my head around and found Austyn. She was so tired on her way home, but we all had a blast.

Overall we had such a wonderful weekend full of fun.
