May 26 - June 2 Adventures

For your information, I've decided to make this blog a compilation of current and past events in our family's history. Periodically I will probably post a few events that have already happened and I will try to post weekly updates for family and friends to enjoy.

This week was kind of a fun week for Austin. He is getting so interactive and is really getting more of a personality.  He is talking and squealing ALL of the time. He is also laughing after I say "ewww" when he tries to get his hands where he isn't supposed to while we change his poopy diapers or make faces when he tries to spit his applesauce on me. He'll also laugh and try to run (or rather crawl) away as fast has he can when he is doing something he shouldn't like trying to climb the stairs without us there.

Welcome Home Izzy-Dog!

It was the morning of General Conference which we listened to on our way down to Cabela's in Lehi. This was where we met the family that had our little 7.5 week old puppy. The family from whom we bought her (for $150) were from Nephi and the parents along with 4 or so kids came along. The kids handled giving her away really well - no one even batted an eye when she left which would have been totally different if they had been my siblings several years ago. When we put Izzy in the car, she was terrified and naturally one of the first things she did in was pee - thank goodness for potty pads.

Austin's First Easter!

March 30, 2013 marked the day for Austin's first Easter egg hunt. We took him to the hunt in Aggie Village on the MASA field which is between all of the apartment buildings. I was really glad that they divided the age groups and that there was one for the 0-3 year-olds, because our goal for that morning was to get ONE egg. When they blew the horn I ran Austin to the nearest target and set him on his tummy right in front of a green egg.
