Austin's Official 3rd Birthday Party at The Little Gym!!

The pictures above are of Austin in his special birthday shirt.  He got to wear it to school on his birthday and we had planned on him wearing it to his party as well, as soon as I put it on him he started to throw a fit that he wanted to wear something else.  So needless to say we changed....

We had Austin's party at The Little Gym in Rogers. I highly reccommend it to anyone who is planning a party for little one's. They did EVERYTHING!!!! Ran the party, chased the kids, planned activities and games, served drinks and cake, and even helped him with presents ane making a list of what he got and who it was from. All I had to do was take pictures. As you will see most of them are blurry since all the kids were going 100 miles an hour the moment they were let loose. They all had a blast and I am proud to say the party was a wonderful success!!! Happy Birthday Austin, we love you!!!!

Austin got a Buzz Lightyear Rocket water toy from my Aunt April and Uncle Ricky, he absolutely loves it.  Here are some pics of him playing with it in our front yard.

Austin's 3rd Birthday!!!

Austin's 3rd birthday was July 27, 2010.  Since this fell on Tuesday and Shane had to close at work we had a little party for him Monday night.  He was so surprised when he got home, Shane had decorated teh living room for him and had some gifts set out for him.  He had lots of fun and really enjoyed his cookie cake!!

Lake Hamilton (Hot Springs) July 2010

We went to Hot Springs to visit my Aunt April and Uncle Ricky at their place on Lake Hamilton. It was an awesome trip and made some great memories.  Can't wait to do it again. :)  Here Austin is ready for his first boat ride!!  Does he look excited???

Uncle Ricky cruising us around the lake.

Austin loved looking at all the water.

Our awesome little family!! :)

I tried to rotate this pic but it wouldn't let me!!  Had to leave it in here though, this was Austin's first time to put his feet in the water.

Having fun exploring the boat!

First swim in the lake!

Pool time!!

We had a pre party while we were there.  As you can see, Austin approved!

Headed back to the house to get some rest.  We had a very fun day and we were all tired!! 

Great weekend!!!

Update July 2010

It has been forever since I updated last but we are all doing great.  Austin is still learning so fast!!  He is completely potty trained and going to bed all by himself, he has been doing this for about 3 months solid now and my goal was to have it done by his 3rd birthday which happens to be next week!!  We are so proud of him!!!  He is over 3 feet tall and 37 pounds and smarter than ever!! We just moved into a new home and he made the transition wonderfully!!  We really like our new neighborhood and have already met some really nice neighbors.  Austin's birthday party is July 31st at the Little Gym and we can't wait!!  He is such a little ladies man!  So far the guest count is 2 boys and 7 girls!!!  He can say his ABC's and count to 13 with no problems!  He has a little temper on him that we are trying to help him keep under control, I swear he gets it from his daddy (shhh.. don't tell Shane I said that!!!)  Hope everyone is doing well and having a wonderful summer!!  About to post some lake pics!  Enjoy!!

Wilderness Safari

We took Austin to the Wilderness Safari in Gentry and he had so much fun looking at and petting the animals, some got really close to us in the drive thru part and he thought it was so fun to try to talk to them. :)
