To Aunt Mel

Aunt Mel sent us this shirt in the mail. We all know that daddy and Austin are HUGE Charger fans. When we opened it up Austin said...awe it's Steelers. So I thought we would make it wearable. I only did this because it came from a second had shop (at least I am 99% sure). And the best part... Austin did the painting and is now happily wearing it at the moment.

The new front and now the hat reads Steelers stink

Grumpy

Now that Savannah has started to really show off her personality it's hard not to compare Austin and Savannah. It was pretty hard and still is to Compare Valerie to Austin because of the big age difference and well different daddy's.


I have always known that Austin pretty much has my personality but it really show's now that Savannah is around and well let’s face it, she has Robs.


For the most part Rob is easy going (unless it comes to winning a game). We all know he is very friendly and can talk to anyone.


I don't remember too much about my younger years, maybe I blocked it out. But I always remember that my granddad nick named be grumpy and when my Aunt Marie first starting see my Uncle Michael everyone told her not to try and warm up to me because I was grumpy and wasn't very friendly. (She was the one person I did become friendly with I guess.). As an adult it is pretty hard for me to warm up to people still. I don't think I am mean...maybe guarded? Once I get to know you I think I am friendly.


Well back to the reason for this post. I have noticed that Savannah is a generally happy baby, smiles, will go to anyone and the big thing I have notice when she wakes up she is really happy (daddy).


When it comes to Austin he takes awhile to warm up to people, he is pretty nasty when he first wakes up (mommy), and when he gets mad he gets mad at everyone.

I think Valerie is a pretty good mix of Troy and Me. She is laid back like Troy, has my attitude, Troy’s built and looks like me.

So…Savannah not only looks like Rob but I think has his personality and Austin has looks like me and has my personality.Let’s face it the kids all give my nasty looks when they are mad.

productive day

I got a lot of crafting done yesterday, normally I would just put this on my craft blog but I thought these were cute, and Austin helped me make them. He can't wait to eat off of them. We have to bake them today.

We are waiting for Valerie to come home for Easter when we can get an updated photo and she can help me with hers to add to the plate family.

Can you make me

Yesterday I took the kids to the salvation army in search of some good finds. At the register there was a glass case with a antique toy tractor inside. Austin was asking questions about it but never asked me to buy it for him. When we were all in the car driving home, Austin asked if I could make him a toy tractor? Of all the things he could have asked me to make...I tried to explain mommy could only make things out of fabric, that maybe I could find a pattern for a tractor softie. He was ok with this. It seems he has high expectations for mommy. We stopped at Michale's and I scored, In the $1.00 bin I found a wood tractor that you paint and put together. Even better he can help!

So instead of making him a tractor softie he got this...

Made out of a mens sweater found at Salvation Army for $3.00

Hair cut

Austin's hair has been getting out of control lately and I didn't know what to do with it. He didn't want it cut, but didn't want it combed either. His hair looks really nice when combed, but if it's not combed it looks really really bad! Tonight I finally put my foot down (against daddy's better judgment) and cut it. It is our summer staple...mo hawk. This is not a dramatic one, but if you look close you will see it. His hair even curls better now then before the cut. Now we wont need all his hair products, I swear he had more hair products than I have to keep it tame.

Roses

A few days after they were bought.

I got these flowers from daddy on Saint Patrick's day,( can you tell what is daddy's favorite holiday?)

And a few weeks ago Weezy got Granny flowers for her birthday from the kids. Each time they were given to Austin to give to the recipient. But when it was time to present the flowers to the person Austin got pretty upset and didn't want to let the flowers go. He thought they were for him. I was only allowed to have 1 flower the rest were his. Granny was able to take her's home but she had to give Austin a rose before she left.

Austin and the computer

We have a few computer games left over from when Valerie was younger, so we have started to let Austin play them.

He is now able to do the games all by himself. He can navigate through the main menu and find which part he wants to play. Daddy even taught him how to use the mouse on the lap top, which is a hard task for some adults.

To think that at the age of 3 Austin has started to learn how to use the computer.
