Halloween, Brownie outings, Gigi's birthday and the Austin family tour of the ATL...

So I am so very bad at updating our little blog here but thats ok as it is mainly just for me and a handful of folks that check to see whats going on with the Austin's so for those of you checking- sorry I am such a slacker!! We just stay so dang busy living this life of ours that its hard to find time to document it all or most of it anyway. Not complaining- feel very blessed. So, here are lots of pics, from gigi's birthday celebration at La Parilla to Halloween to our family tour of the ATL!M and Dixie Belle- our "pseudo" doggie Dj is really looooooving looking at Christmas lights but D and M had a ball!

The Latest "goings ons" of our little gang....

Love this pic of my littlest one. My friend Brittany is an AMAZING photographer and even though she is not really taking pictures anymore, she agreed to take D's 3, 6, 9 and 12 months pics and I love them all.
Silly cousins at the beach....they have the best time together.

Aunt T made all the kids precious sand buckets with their initial on it. They were so cute! Thanks T!


S and B hanging at the beach.....



The fam at the beach (the trip that T could go with us on...). He unfortunately had to miss the big family trip for a work trip- oh well!! We're just thankful he has a job in this crazy economy so we made do without him even though we missed him so bad. In fact, we made a flathead of T so we could include him in all the pictures...I will post some of those later as they are funny!




Silly sisters....


Love this one.


First day of preschool for little girl. Yes I start them early. Good for mommy and good for baby:0)....

D's 1st birthday party at gigi and poppy's- what good friends came to celebrate our girl!

Do ya think she liked the cake?


Me and my baby girl.


On the go....

D is 1 and WALKING and school starts!

Lots of fun stuff going on around here, I barely have time to keep up! M started 2nd grade and S started Kindergarten. So far so good for both so praise the good Lord for that! D is 1 and she is doing all sorts of fun stuff. Having her big 1 year bday tomorrow so will post pics of that later but here are some of her actual bday. Such a big girl. Also a video of her walking. Yummy- could just eat her right up!
Since she is now 1- here are some things going on in her little life that I would like to document....
- she is my biggest baby by far- at the same month she beats her sisters by 3 and 4 lbs- awesome

- she walked at 11 months which is my earliest walker- strangely I never put shoes on this one as I went to Coggins to get her foot measured she was already a 5.5- what??? I had a bag of size 4 and 5's upstairs from her big sisters but I guess when you are baby #3 you are really just lucky to have clothes on much less shoes:0)...

- she is so cuddly

- she loves her sissies so much and constantly stares at them and tries to "play"

- she is about to start the young 1's program at our church- she will have fun but its mainly so I can help out at the big girls school as that is not fun for her anymore to sit in her stroller while mommy does her thing- she will be much happier playing for a few hours a week.

- her hair is so soft and stark white

- she really looks just like her sisters- especially M


- She loves to say "hi" and she says it very fast and very sweet


- she already has 8 teeth so maybe we'll have some steak at her party:-)


- this little one is loved so much by all of us


My prayer for her is that she will grow into the Godly woman that the good Lord wants her to be- just help her daddy and I be the best parents we can be- we will for sure be imperfect without a doubt but I pray that the good Lord will use us to show her how much He loves her!!!


S with "Teddy"- her classroom bear.

M and S in their "spirit" wear! Gooo Due West Hoya's!
S, D and M on D's ACTUAL birthday! We got her a cupcake and let her go to town- she was a big fan!
Here is little girl mid cupcake- yumola!!M and S on the morning of the first day! On D's birthday, we met Gigi and Poppy for breakfast at Waffle House and we got D a baby waffle and put a candle in it-she was like, huh?

S on the first day with her big backpack!our little walker!M with her "peep" toe wedges (holy moly) and her messenger bag (what a big girl!!) on first day of 2nd grade...

S is 5 and some other interesting stuff....

First of all, my middle baby is 5. Sounds so old doesn't it? She is so so great that one. Such a little stinker. There are so many things I love about this one (of course I love all 3 of them but each of them hold a very special place in my heart- unique to who they are). Here are some things I just adore about my S...

- that child could play by herself for hours- so creative
- I am serious when I tell people that she could rip a napkin in two and have two "people" and they could entertain her for 2 hours- seriously

- she loves her big sister more than life

- she loves her little sister too and is learning to be more gentle with her

- she loves to snuggle

- she loves spaghetti and cocoa pebbles- well not together but you get my drift

- she could play polly pocket and/or Barbies for hours

- she loves to watch movies

- she loves when me and her daddy are proud of her

- she is a super good sleeper and always has been
- love her red hair

Those are just a few things I love about my girl. But mainly I am just humbled to be her momma. I am so blessed.

Here are some pics from the big Horse birthday party!!

Can't believe my big girl is 7....








Happy Birthday M!!!


We have been busy busy busy!! With swim team, soccer camp, VBS, play dates, you name it- it has been a busy Summer. I wouldn't have it any other way (well maybe a nanny would be nice to stay home so little girl gets all her naps in but who am I kidding???) We do pretty good- well we do the best we can! M is loving swim team, S is loving her swim lessons and drawing, and baby girl is just loving life. We are truly blessed and I don't take it for granted one single bit. Thanks Lord. Oh and since M turns 7 I wanted to document, so far, the things I love most about my biggest girl...
- her heart
- her laugh
- she is such a good big sister- always helping me take care of the little girl
- love how she and S love eachother so much and how either of them don't like to sleep in their room when the other one is not there
- love how she loves to make new friends
- loves her zest
- loves that she loves school
- loves her loyalty to her friends
- loves how she pointed out that she had a picture of me and her but not her and her daddy beside her bed so we went and got one done... she loves her daddy!!
- loves how she will try new foods and most of the time... she likes them!
- I love how she is teaching me about patience (and how I don't have a lot of it but am learning!)
- love how comfortable she is in her own skin
- love how she doesn't take herself too seriously... this will serve her later in life too...
Thanks Jesus for the gift of my sweet M. Help me to the momma she needs me to be.
