11 Months

So I am SUPER late on posting these- My computer ran out of memory so I have to adjust it every time i take pictures- we are hopefully getting more memory for it! But I was able to get these on here and share them! Auklin will actually be 1 in like a week and a half! Its CRAZY! time has flown- he is still working on walking, he showed a lot of interest in it a couple months ago and he has taken about 5 or 6 wabbly steps but kinda lost interest the past little while- but we still work with him and when he walks with us he loves it! He will get there- when he is ready. Other than that Auklin loves to talk and whisper to himself. I often catch him playing with toys and whispering gibberish- it is so dang cute! I can tell he is getting smarter and getting the hang of things- I love to watch him figure things out on his own like how to save his binky from under his crib- there was 3 as a matter of fact under there and I was sitting there with him and he crawled under his crib grabbed one and brought it back to me then he looked back under there and said "ooo!" with his lips on this tight O shape and points at the crib and crawls back to get another binky. Then he did it again for the 3rd. it was so funny! He is getting so so big- we just have so much fun. Auklin loves playing outside so I thought I would shoot his 11 month playing in the leaves! 

Abu

So this post is for Brielle! : ) She was unable to see her little niece and nephews for halloween and she asked me to post some of Auklin in his costume... so here you go Brielle! xoxox

He had to have his "toy" my headband to sit still...

Halloween!

So I didnt finish my costume but i figured everyone would get the idea! Auklins first Halloween was so much fun- we had a blast.  Kasey was such a good sport and made such a cute Aladdin- 

Halloween!

Just wanted to share some of our trick or treaters!!! Halloween was so much fun- So i need your help voting for the best costume!!! Everyone please vote!

10 months continued

So I wanted to post these pictures of Auklin for his 10 months. He is getting so big and has such a personality. He loves to laugh and we can sit and have laughing contests all day. If I look at him and laugh, he will start to laugh and then it makes me laugh harder and then he will laugh harder! It is so much fun- He loves balls, the other day I asked him where his ball was and a few min later he crawled out of the living room an i heard him going down the hall way- I waited a few min and then I heard him coming back and he had a little red balloon that he thinks is his ball every time he sees it he says "ball" :) He went and got it! I could not believe it- he is so big!  Auklin has also been learning to walk he  has taken a few wobbly steps and can stand by himself for about 20 seconds before he gets to excited and falls down. So he will be walking soon! 

Here are my two handsome boys!!!

Auklin 10 Months

So Auklin has been able to clap his hands for a while now but I have never got it on camera until now~ Also we have been teaching him some other things as well and I caught one of his other tricks and I was so excited! Hehehe it kinda sounds funny to say tricks- he isnt a dog and we dont treat him like on I promise! :) Auklin can give kisses, high five, crawl up and down the stairs and I think he is learning what a nose is. He also bites :) hehe hard too! he has almost 6 teeth- two on the bottom that should count as 4 and four on top but two of them just broke through so you cant really see them very well yet! He is getting closer to walking, he balanced today for a few seconds and he got so excited he started flailing his arms and fell- Auklin has a great sense of humor and he is so much fun! I will post his 10 month pictures soon!!!

Matt and Derek.... SOOOLLID!

So as you can see from this picture I tend to try and forget about these two lug nuts! ;) but they are my two brothers in law whom I love dearly and given any day of the week I would oh so totally claim them!!!! These guys are so funny especially when we all get together- when we all get together all the guys seem to go crazy and they are all so fun and hilarious! BUT I wanted to spotlight my two in laws because they both had a birthday and I forgot to mention it on here... So I wanted to say Happy birthday to my two brothers and thank them for so many fun memories! They always make family get together's memorable, much like this picture this tends to be "normal" behavior for the two of them! They are both so fun loving and great to be around. Sorry boys for the delay but I have a life and I wont lie I totally forgot about you (as stated before i try to do this occasionally;) hehe JK)  :) SOOLLID?!?!?! Love you guys!!!

oh ps Derek is in the back and Matt is in the front and this picture was taken at my nephews (Dereks son) 1 year old birthday party! 

Happy Birthday Amanda

So I have not been on the ball and I am a little late to announce my sister in law's Birthday it was on the 1st. Amanda is the funniest little gal ever. She knows how to make any situation funny. She always has a funny comment to say- she is very quick witted! Amanda also knows how to be serious and is such a good listener. She is everyones friends and gets along with everyone. She is so cute with her little girl (4 month old Gracie) and you can tell they just tell each other stories all day long and they just laugh and laugh together.   Amanda enjoys life and knows how to have fun! We love having her in our family- when we go out as sisters we always want her there because she fits in with us so well! We love her so much and love having her around! Happy Birthday Amanda!

9 Months

Well these are a little late for 9 months but o well!!! I just wanted to get some good ones of all his teeth! :) Auklin is growing so fast, he can clap his hands, climb up the stairs and over the back of the couch. He wants to run around and be a big boy! He waves bi bi and points to what he wants. Kaseys favorite is playing pass with him with a ball and Auklin saying "bal" the whole time! I love this stage of him starting to communicate. Its fun to see how much they learn

I love this face!!! hehe

ohhhhh! he is getting so big!

Blank... my big brother

Today is my big brothers birthday and he is an old man! So weird we
are all getting so old- Blake and I have always had our differences
but we have always been so close- for a while there he was my best
friend- then he left me for a mission! ; ) Blake always knows when
there is something wrong and finds a way to help it or fix it somehow.
He hates when someone is sad or going through a rough time especially
his family or friends. He has a knack at getting people to open up. He
has always been so much fun! He has a happy medium between serious and
just plain ridiculous. Growing up if you couldnt find him getting in
trouble with the law, sluffing school, or sneekin out he was most
likely on the computer- not doing homework or anything... no its a
thing called warcraft! ; ) hehehe no blake was a good kid these things
only happened a few times! :D I have so much fun with my brother and
it is so sad I live 2 minutes away from him and never see him anymore!
He works soo soo hard and earns an honest living for his adorable
family! He tries to stay as in shape as possible ; ) by playing
softball and just living life- He now cruises around on a motorcycle,
he is already going through his midlife crises! hehe no he looks
studly on it!  Well I think i have grilled you enough for today! I
love you Blake, Happy Birthday!!!
