Kiddo TAG...Austin



Austin started out in both families the first grandchild. He is the oldest and I think I put a lot of responsibility on him. He is great with the younger cousins! Dax loves to play with Austin every Sunday at my parents house, and in Chris's side of the family, he is also well loved by Collins, Devin and Jackson. He even loves to play with our little neighbor boy across the street, Jeff. He is 4 1/2 years old. He says that he is his little "brother" across the street.
Austin loves to play soccer. I already did a little post on him earlier about this. He plays year round. He loves to throw the baseball outside with his dad. Chris says that he has a great arm. He also likes basketball. Last year he won 2nd place in the Speed Championships in the WHOLE 3rd grade, so he must be a good shot!
Austin is fasinated with dragons, dinosaurs and mythology. He enjoys learning about them and reading about these things. His walls in his room are covered with posters of dragons and such. He enjoys watching a prehistoric park show on television. he "tevos" it so he doesn't miss an episode.
Austin loves to play computer/playstation games! He will spend hours (if I let him)
playing Wildlife Zoo on the computer. He loves to make his own zoo and make their habitats and stuff. He loves animals. He says that he wants to be a zoo keeper some day.
He is my handsome little boy!! He gets embarrased when I tell him that, but he is. He got glasses this fall to help him read the board better at school, but sometimes he has a hard time wearing them, and I am a bad mom and I don't make him. I find his glasses on the bathroom counter a lot in the mornings, after he left for school, he either forgot, or left them purposely, don't know. He always wants me to tuck him in at night, and I never forget. He is soon not going to want his mom to do that, but I hope it never happens. He is my first born, my little boy, and my best little "BUD". Love your bud!!

I was tagged! My cuz Ashley did it this time. I relly enjoyed thinking of answers to these questions. Thanks Ash!

What were you doing 10 years ago?
Well, I was VERY pregnant with my first child, Austin. I can't believe he will be 10 years old in 2 weeks! I lived in Brigham City, in Grandma Grover's house. I worked at Smith's in Logan plus I worked for Leggs pantyhose, stocking all the stores from Preston, Idaho to North Ogden. I liked this job because you could set your own hours and go when ever I had time. When Austin was born, I even took him for awile, then it got to be too difficult, so I quit.
5 things on my to do list today?

Well today is about over, so here is what I did today. I tried to sleep in, that was first on the list, but my mind was just racing of other things to do, so I got up at 6:30. second was get my color guard papers in order. I had tryouts last night and I have a lot of new girls that I need to add in to my books. third, shower, I love to shower! forth, we went to Austin's soccer game in Mendon. fifth, clean my house, at least the living room, bathroom and kitchen. We had a little neighbor bbq in our yard, so those couple rooms need to be clean right?

6 snacks I enjoy?
I love Junior Mints, Kettle corn pop corn, those yummy mini cadbury eggs (only at easter, thank goodness or I would be really fat!!) peanutbutter m & m's, tostitos lime chips (plain) & my famous peanut butter fingers! I don't make them unless I am taking them somewhere or I would eat them all!

If I were suddenly a billionaire, I would...
First I would pay everything off! I hate being in debt! I would build us a new dream house here and in California. I would pay off my families houses and make sure they were finacially ok. If they would let me. I love my family! I would donate to some of those poor little kids in Africa that need help. I would try to find the best doctors to help find a cure to my dad's disease, so he could have the body that he deserves!

5 places I've lived?
I first lived in Honeyville, Utah. I don't remember it though, we moved when I was 1. Then I lived in Bear River City, in 2 different houses, until I graduated from High school. I then moved to Logan, Utah to go to college and have a singles life. When I got married, we lived there too. We were married for 9 months and then moved to Brigham City in Grandma Grover's house for 2 years. Then finally we moved to Tremonton, Utah. We have almost lived in this house for 10 years now!

5 jobs I have had?
My first job was workin in the video department at Smith's in Brigham during high school. then I moved to Logan for college and still worked at Smith's but in Logan. I worked as the cosmetician there and I learned all about Pharmacy there. I worked for Smith's for 8 years total. Then I moved across the street to Albertson's in Logan to work in the pharmacy for 3 years. I then went to Kent's Pharmacy in Tremonton where I am today. I also work at Bridgerland in Logan as the Head Pharmacy Technician Instructor, and last I am the Bear River High School Color Guard Advisor. Chris says this is not a job, it is a hobby, but I get a paycheck, a small one, but I get one!

5 things people may not know about me?
I do not like to read. I don't have time, but I have a hard time comprehending what I read, so what is the point! I still think I am a teenager some times. I have been in remission from my cancer for 10 & 1/2 years now! I love to go on vacations, even if it is just to Bear Lake.

Soccer Season Begins

Austin plays for our competitive soccer team (U-10). It started up again for the spring. This was our 3rd game. We won our first 2 games and tied this game 2-2.


Austin plays goalie and forward. He is a fast runner and an AWESOME goalie! He was goalie the first half and he ran his guts out the second half trying to make a goal. No luck this time, maybe next. BUT he stopped a lot of goals from getting in the goal while he played goalie.

We have a good little team. It is a lot of the players first season playing competitive soccer, so they are still learning. Chris loves to coach. He is a great coach, I think that is what he lives for, being with his son and sports!

Which Mermaid is Which?




Which Mermaid is Taylee and Which one is Brinley?
Well I can definatly tell! I love this Mermaid costume that my friend Penny made Taylee when she was 2 for halloween.
Brinley wore it for halloween this year. I had to get her picture in it too! They both love this outfit. If you ask Taylee what her favorite dress up is , she will still say this costume, even though it does not fit her anymore!
They are both my little "Ariels"
