Austin's 1st Cereal


We gave Austin his first taste of cereal the other night. He wasn't too sure at first but quickly gobbled it down. I would say that he did better with it then Jenny did when she first tried cereal. I didn't let him finish all of it as I wanted to see how it would sit, but there were no problems. Both Bryan and I were anxious to have him sleep through the night due to the cereal, however, it was completely opposite. Austin was up every 2 hours. It was miserable! The next day, though hesitant to try it again, I gave Austin another round of cereal. He ate all of the cereal plus a little bit more. What can I say, except that I have a "growing" boy. Ha Ha! Austin did not sleep through the night that night, but did sleep for a solid 5 hours. So, I'll take that. Overall, it is very exciting to see him take this next step.

Miller Farms




Last weekend we went to Miller Farms with Nana, Papa, Taniel, and Kelsey (Trevor's girlfriend), and we had a blast. Yes, it was cold and wet, but we still had a good time. Miller Farms is off of 1-25 and exit 243. They have so many fun things to do like a corn maze, hay maze, tractor derby, petting zoo, and an air slide. You even get to take a hay ride out into their fields and pick as much as you like of potatoes, onions, carrots, pumpkins, corn, squash, etc. Jenny loved riding the tractor's with Daddy. Daddy's legs were very sore afterwards, but as he said "it was worth it to make her happy." Austin slept through most of it, but he was still cute.

Lollilocks

Today I took Jenny and her best friend Joey to Lollilocks to get their hair cuts. Jenny has been here before, but this is the first time she has willingly sat on one of the animals so it was a "kodak" moment. Joey, however, was very excited to sit on the motorcycle. In fact, Joey was so confident that when the lady told him she liked his hair color he said "I know." We all laughed.
Joey chose to have blue spiked hair, and Jenny chose to have her hair braided in the back with a pink and black ribbon (to match her outfit) and sparkles. They had a fun time!

Just Sharing


I don't have anything really to say except I have two cute kids.
I guess I should explain the doll in the picture. That is Leana from Barbie and The Diamond Castle, Jenny's favorite movie for the week. :) Jenny has a chore chart where she has certain chores she needs to do every day. When she does a chore she gets to put a happy face next to it. We decide how many happy faces she has to get before she gets a reward. Her reward this last time was to get the Leana Barbi doll from that movie. Jenny is now working towards getting Leana's best friend, Alexa. She is already well on her way.
