Summer fun


We have really enjoyed our backyard pool. Shalynn thinks she should be able to swim instead of taking a bath. She is fearless,
and enjoys playing with her dad and brother.

Shalynn thinks everything needs to be faster--higher--scarier!! I am really afraid she is going to be my trial in life. Every year she makes the other two look alittle more mellow. Never thought we would ever say that about Austin, but I think she is going to be worse.

Poor girl always has butt hanging out.


Either she is a dare devil or she just really trusts her family.

Austin looks like batman with his goggles on. He was telling me that one side of the goggles were alot clearer than the other. Then he poked the goggle on the side that was clearer. He found out real quickly that when the plastic is missing it's alot clearer on that side.

He also found out that it hurts when you poke yourself in the eye. He is so blonde sometimes. And we have always thought that Bridget was the airhead....Maybe it runs in the family.




Austin is really growing up. I was looking at pictures of him from just three years ago and his looks have really matured.


He thinks he looks more manly now!





These are pictures of him just three years ago. Ok I am sure the weight thing makes him look alittle different. But around my house we say weight makes you look buffer..

Austin is 14


I can't believe how fast time goes. It seems like Austin should still be my baby boy who loved to get rocked to sleep every night. I have really enjoyed watching him grow up. We are just hoping he will sprout soon, he is 5'7 but that is short for his dad's family.



Austin this year will be in the 8th grade. He will hopefully be playing basketball, baseball, and football. He is getting really good at doing tricks on his bike and he enjoys hanging out at the skate parks. He has learned alot of hard lessons this summer. One of which is you really need to be careful while picking friends. He has a good heart and its hard to realize that not everyone does. He is a sweet boy and we are so blessed to have him in our family.





OK Austin does have a point I do go to extremes when it comes to his hair cuts, but who knows when his next one will be. I promise not to go to short next time.
