Almost 1 year old...my how time flies

This week we got Austen's 1 year pictures taken. His first birthday isn't until April 14th but I wanted to get pictures done for his invitations. The weather was nice but a little chilly....and Aus isn't as chipper in the morning as usual. But he did great. Below are a couple of his pictures..there are more on Tara Swains blog She did an amazing job and I am so happy with the pictures.

Hope you guys enjoy these as much as I do. :)

What a week!

This week has just flown by! Tab and I went to market with Sonya last weekend and I feel like I have been playing catch up ever since. BUT, we have some pretty awesome stuff coming in over the next few weeks. Friday we got new buggy seat covers and some cute cute cute new diaper bags in from a company that totally supports cervical cancer research which I believe is a very worthy cause.

So, St. Patty's day....did everyone have a great one? We did the wearing green thing of course (ya don't want to get pinched :) ) and I decided that I was going to cook an Irish meal for my fam and some of our friends. I had planned to research what to cook on Monday and Tuesday but got so busy at the store that I ran out of time and guess what we had......SPAGHETTI...not Irish but still very good!

Here are some pics of Aus in his Irish attire and some of him doing his new favorite hobby...which is swiffering. Out of all the colorful and noisy toys to play with he is happiest with a spatula and a swiffer. :)

I wear my sun glasses at night.....

Haha, not really. But my Mom told me that when I was a kiddo I would watch MTV and rock out to that song! And I actually have a scar on my forehead from headbanging too hard and accidentally hitting the TV...OUCH!!

What made me think of it is this picture below of Aus with his Auntie Ang...he loves when she comes to visit him at the store!

The weather has been so humid and warm lately! I love it...but I hear that it is not going to last and we should be getting another spout of cold weather this week. (booooo!) I love Spring & Summer. I am just not a cold weather person. I guess that is good since I live in Texas.

Me & Aus have been to Hobby Lobby just about everyday since it opened. I think he likes it too. Yesterday morning we went and I let him pick out an Easter basket. But as we are pulling into the parking lot, I promise, I heard him grumble 'What are we doing?' I almost had a heart attack! It was as if Ryan was in the car with us hidden and speaking to me from the back seat, lol.

Austen is doing so well at the store. He loves seeing Britney & Camdyn every week. And he actually cried last week when a customer left. (Mary D. he knows who you are and ran to the door and cried when you left last week)

I hope everyone had a great weekend and an even better week!



oh and this is where Austen stays when we are at home.....digging in the pantry :)

Just watching one of my fav shows...

Brothers & Sisters on Sunday and low and behold when Kitty brings her new baby Evan home for the first time she is prepared for her first diaper change with a Pee-pee Teepee!!! Of course I immediately text Tab to share the news and she responds that she also saw a diaper caddy (available now in our store) and a Boppy (on its way to our store) in the room too!!! We get so excited when we see the actual products we carry in our store featured on a TV show or more commonly in Parents Magazine.

If you are having a little boy or know someone who is the Pee-pee Teepee's are a MUST HAVE for diaper changes!! :)
