Midget, Lear Jet, Pouty lip and Already 11 weeks old!!

Wow! Sorry my blog fans that its taken me so long to update...but with laundry and a house to take care of and a yard and a husband oh and wait, a new baby! its amazing how fast time just flys by. It seems like you barely get up and ready for the day and before you know it, its time to go to sleep again. It really is true that time just keeps speeding up, and I can't believe my handsome little baby is almost 3 months old!! AAAGGGHHHH its going WAY to fast! I'm trying to enjoy each little moment and not take any of it for granted.

So back to what we've been doing for the past three weeks. My aunt Laura and cousin Caroline came up from San Diego and visited. We had a great time and Austin really enjoyed them. Then my Aunt Tammy, Uncle Keith, Lindsay, and Casey all came down from Washington. We had a great visit with them and boy does Austin love his cousin Lindsay! It was really fun to show him off and pass him around to everyone. We spent lots and lots of time at my grandma's cooking and eating and cooking more and eating more and just being a family. It was a wonderful week with them and makes you realize that family really is the most important thing. Meanwhile Joey has been working on a midget for Austin. For those of you who are like me and are wondering what the heck a midget is, it is a 1950's minature go-kart. Joey's dad had started to fix it up for Joey when he was a baby but never finished it, so now Joey is going to fix it up for Austin. Its really fun to see him get so excited and work so hard on this project for Austin. He sure loves his little boy! And last but certainly not least Austin went on his first plane ride. Joey knows a wonderful pilot, named Roger who offered to fly us to Sacramento to visit Joey's mom Tammy. He also invited my grandpa to come get a ride in his lear jet and returned him back to Bishop when they were done. Austin did great on the plane ride. As soon as we were in the air he fell right to sleep and could have cared less that we were 12,000 feet up and going almost 600 mph!! Then to make it more fun Roger let my grandpa sit up front and help fly the plane with his other pilot Brit. It was a lot of fun for my grandpa who used to be a pilot but had certainly never flown anything with that many bells and whistles. Then to our suprise when we got to the airport Roger had a car waiting for us to use the whole time that we were in Sacramento. WOW! We felt so incredibly blessed. He is such a kind, generous man. When we landed back in Mammoth after 3 days in Sacramento, I told him that it was such a relief to only have a 30 minute plane ride versus a 5 hour car ride. God has certainly blessed us with some amazing people in our lives. Next we come to the pouty lip. Austin has been making this pouty lip for the past couple of weeks whenever he starts to cry but I can never get it on camera. Every time he does it we joke around because he really looks just like Joey, so we had a photo shoot last night and I finally got some pictures of it. Poor baby, he really looks pathetic when he does it!! He is getting so big though and I can't believe that he will be 3 months old on thursday. Oh and some other really big news of the week is that Mommy is going back to work. Yep, Wednesday is my first day back. I can't really complain though because I am only working two days a week. And it is actually going to be perfect because Joey is going to watch him on Wednesdays and my sister-in-law Sarah is going to watch him on Fridays. So he won't have to go to day care and won't have any strangers watching him. But still, I think I'm going to have a hard time with it. It will be sooooo nice to see my clients again but at the same time, leaving my little baby is going to be difficult. But at least it is only two days a week and I'm sure it will be good for the both of us. So I will try to write a little more often and wish me luck on my first day back to work!!

Look at those chubby cheeks with that little pout lip!
