Watching fireworks

Austin crawls like Mowgli from Jungle Book!!! He doesn't use his knees (I think because they get so scratched up and he can crawl faster this way), what a crazy kid! I LOVE HIM!!!

Annual 4th of July wheelbarrow races...

I honestly don't know if I've ever seen Austin so excited! When we got him out, he just kept trying to climb back in!

I ended up winning the race, but only because Austin kept trying to sit up while Jeremy was pushing him, so Jeremy had to keep stopping!

Look what I can do...

ha ha, Daddy styled my hair, but that's not what I wanted you to see...keep scrolling down!!

I crawled up the stairs all by myself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And it was only my second time trying! The first time I fell down them, but I was only on the first or second step.

SOOOO CUTE!

I JUST LOVE HIM...

Happy 3rd of July!!!!!!

Austin loved the fireworks last night. Air supply was playing down the street from us, so we walked over to see what was going on and then stayed and watched the fireworks after. I was very impressed with the fireworks! A lot better than I was expecting, (but then again, how can you not be impressed by huge bombs exploding colorfully in the air!) Austin got a little scared at first and climbed up on daddy's shoulder, but then the rest of the time he just stared at them, with no expression. I think he was in awe. These are pictures from the parade this morning. There will be more fireworks tonight, so I'm excited to see them.

Park City

We went to Park City for the weekend with the Whiting side of the family (Jeremy's mom's side). Here is a little video of Austin showing off some of his tricks! He's growing up so fast! You might want to turn the sound down (sorry, i'm just so loud).

Park City

Austin loved the stairs and spent most of his time playing on them and climbing through the bars!! WHAT A CUTIE!!

Aunt Julie got Austin to sleep!
We shut Jessie in the Murphy Bed!! haha

Four generations:

We all went down the Alpine slide and roller coaster. The coaster is our favorite!!
Grandma and Grandpa going down the slide.

He wasn't so sure about the ride and wanted to get off. he was okay once i got on it with him.

I think this was when he bonked his head on the pole when the ride first took off! I thought I was going to drop him!!

Allie, Jacqui, Brett, and Jessie

NEW HOUSE!!!

Yahoo!! We got into our new house. It only took about 2 1/2 hours on Saturday, but we got all moved in! I LOVE OUR NEW HOME!!! So much more space! We are almost completely unpacked. Jeremy's mom helped a ton with the unpacking and Jeremy has been awesome in getting our sprinkler system all fixed! Jeremy spent the day yesterday fixing all of the broken sprinkler heads. Wow...Sprinkler systems are so nice. We don't have internet yet, they are coming tomorrow though, so then I'll be able to post some pictures. Stay tuned!!!!
