Austin helped mow the yard for the first time today. First Stormy is teaching him to change the oil in the truck, then let him use power tools to work on the house & now mowing. I think Stormy is working on his plan to get out of having to anything around the house.

Will's Special Day

Sesame Street Live Came to Town

Will had a couple of days all to himself with big brother out of town with Granda. So, we did the best we could to fit in as much as we could on one of those days.

The day started off with Sesame Street Live.

I was really exited to see that we were going to have good seats.

Will didn't really understand when I said we were going to see Elmo, but he soon understood & was fascinated!

After the show was over, we had to wait for Daddy to come pick us up. Thank goodness, the Watergardens are connected to the Auditorium.

After that we had lunch at WaterStreet Oyster Bar (okay, that was more for Mamma) and then went walking around Water Street Market.

After that we walked to Nana's office for a short visit. After that we drove down & looked at the boats on the sea wall. After leaving the sea wall, Will fell asleep in the truck for a short nap. Then finally, we finished the day off with a tractor ride with Uncle Paul.

Needless to say, Will (and Mamma & Daddy) had a full day and went to bed about 30 minutes early that night!

We had to get out of the house the other day so that a realtor could show our house. I was trying to find anything to do to kill time & decided to see if the Watergardens were running. Luckily they were. The boys had never been & they both just loved it. Austin especially enjoyed flicking mamma & brother with the water. Will just seemed to be in total amazement. Needless to say I had to promise to take them back for a picnic.

I had to post a picture of Will. He is growing so fast & starting to talk a lot. Mostly he just repeats. He is the total opposite of his brother. Independent is an understatement for him & loves to test the limits. A LOT!

As you can see, Austin is starting to turn into his father. He loves helping out around the house, which we officially put on the market a few weeks ago.

The cross he made with some spare wood & nails that he found while we were working on the house.

He was also very proud that he helped his dad change the oil for the first time.

Valentines Day

Well, Valentine's Day has come and gone. The boys had a blast making candy necklaces that Austin received at his Valentine's Day party at school.

Austin did a great job copying all of the kids names onto the valentines that he handed out. He will tell you though that he was extra careful copying Trinity's. The boy is in love.
