Awwww

Jason got home early today with every intention of going to the zoo. Well, Austin was sleepy so he took a nap. Jason cuddled on the couch with Kayla. He made sure she was super comfy, as you can see in the picture. Can you spot Mickey Mouse? He is propped under her leg because Jason said she was more comfy that way. How sweet. Oh and take note of her holding onto his finger. It only took then both about 2 minutes to fall asleep.

Gotta Love the Entertainment Toys

We never had an exersaucer with Austin so we decided to go for it with Kayla. She has all hand-me-down baby toys so we got it for her. I love it! It keeps both kids quite occupied for a while. When Kayla isn't in it Austin loves to go in it. He is way too big, but he insists so I let him. When Kayla is in it he plays on the outside of it. It gives me a nice 20 minute break. I love you exersaucer!

I Promised

an update so here it is :)

I have been busy with these kids, but still promise to take time to keep up the good old blog. I finally had a moment this evening. Jason is on the couch watching the Red Wings game. I have to say, I like to watch the Wings. It gives me a nice feeling of home.

Things are good here. Texas is for sure getting too hot for me. When I step outside it takes my breath away. The humidity is terrible here. I have a feeling soon we will be stuck inside due to intense heat. We are trying to enjoy it now because they say it is mild..geesh! It makes me miss Michigan even more. The heat brings out BIG yuck monster bugs...ewwww. I have seen several hornet nests around our place, even on our patio. Spiders are out in full force and they have a lot of snakes here too. Some very dangerous and poisonus. You will not catch me outside at night anytime soon! I have also seen a lot of armadillos, but I am sad to say I only see them on the side of the road dead :( I was driving the other night and saw something hopping all over the road. Couldn't tell you what it was though, I have no clue. Enough about that, I know you want to hear about the kids.

Austin and Kayla are doing great. Austin is repeating everything, and I really do mean everything. Jason and I really have to watch what we say to one another. A few times he has repeated things that shocked us, and made us laugh to ourselves. He loves to play outside and of course he still loves Lightning McQueen! I have to say though, Spiderman is growing on him quite a bit. He calls him "Spiders." I have a big announcement to make, Austin used the potty for the first time!! We are very proud of him. He has only done it twice, but he is really getting the idea now.

Little Kayla Bug is growing and changing so much everyday. She is still very easy going and laid back. She always has a smile on her face and it's so easy to make her laugh. I love when she laughs. Her favorite thing to do is watch her Big Brother. She loves him so much and he knows how to entertain her quite well. Austin is really starting to look out for her. She isn't sleeping through the night anymore. She wakes up once a night to eat. Oh well, the good night sleep was nice while it lasted.

Jason and I are doing very well. I still miss Michigan, but I know it's whats best for our Family right now. Jason is loving his job more and more everyday. I am glad he is happy and that he can provide for us while I take care of the kids. I love being with them all day and raising them. I do miss working, but I don't want to miss out on these times with them. They grow up too fast.

We are bummed we can't make it home in May, but it wasn't the right time for us. Don't worry, we will make sure to be back this summer. I can't wait to see everyone. I miss the family friends and life I has there.
