Austin Marshall Nye!

He's Here!

Well on Thursday October 23rd, 2008 at 12:22 p.m. Austin Marshall Nye made his first appearance in the world at 7 lbs 15 oz and 21 inches long. He was relatively easy to get here. With only three pushes he was here. On the first day he was very inquisitive and just wanted to look at his new surroundings. As most of you know our other babies were not the easiest babies due to colic and acid reflux but so far he has been very good and is a very good eater. Needless to say his two sisters just adore him and at first his big brother wasn't too sure about him but has gotten better and is a very good helper to give him his binkie and to tell Mom when he is crying. He also likes to give him kisses on his head. We are so happy he's here and very relieved that he is healthy and a part of our family!

1 Little, 2 Little, 3 Little Pumpkins at the Pumpkin Patch!

On Tuesday October 7th we went for Carson's Pre-School field trip to Black Island Farms and got to ride the tractor and the kids got to pick their very own pumpkin. We did this when Kaylee was in pre-school as well but this time the pumpkins were not as big as before. They were kind of puny but they kids still had a bunch of fun.

After the tractor ride the kids got to play on all the fun toys they had there like the hay slides and the giant pumpkin bounce house. They even had piglet races which was hilarious to watch! I can honestly say that I've never seen a pig race and I doubt that I will ever see one again but it was an experience that I highly enjoyed but not quite sure why. All it was was four piglets racing in a circle. It doesn't take much to entertain someone like me!

SPLISH SPLASH!!!!!

Well after almost a full year of Kaylee's begging when the girls were off track we put all three of them in swimming lessons. The girls have had them before but it had been a while and this was Carson's first time. I really didn't worry about the girls but Carson I was a little nervous about because when we went swimming this year he would cling to whoever was with him if he couldn't touch the ground. Surprisingly he did very well and even got used to sticking his face in the water which I never thought would happen. The girls did very well, too. Shelby had kind of a hard time at first until we got her some goggles because she said the water hurt her eyes (can't say as I blame her because I'm the same way!) I had them in the same class and they were very fun to watch! All three of them passed their classes and can move onto the next ones. We might do this again the next time they're off track...but we'll have to see if I'm up to it again!
