Me and Austin being silly

Austin and I were just goofing around with the webcam. He just kept giggling and giggling.

we did different kinds of pictures and austin just kept laughing after each one. It was very fun he said and it was just after supper..this was in November during the week sometime.

Love you Austin

Austin Lost his First teeth

Austin lost his first tooth and then hsi second in just minutes of each other. Nov 6th before he went to school he pulled them out. he was super pleased and super excited about the toothfairy.

as you can see from his grin in the picture..it says it all!

He got 2 loonies from the toothfairy.

First Dentist Appt

All my boys went to the dentist for the first time (November).They were all great to..well behaved and did everything they were told.. Austins mold is the picture with the yellow mold in his mouth.the boys were calling him quacky duck because the girl came and got Gavin to see austin looking like quacky duck..Austin went back for a filling where he rocked with bravery..Way to go Austin.! I was so super impressed. They all got toothbrushes..in which Ben and Gavin fought about who got what car brush from the cars movie and then Austin choice a transformer one and when Gavin saw it he has a huge fit because he wanted to use that one..haha.

Austin also got a little yellow tooth container that holds his teeth when he looses them and puts them under the pillow for the toothfairy..Ben had just had his surgery the week before and was still not walking yet so thats why he looks so weird in the chair..the way he is sitting. the dental hygenist gave him a pillow to lift his legs..so nice. and even though he was not in perfect shape he to just rocked the appt. the girl said it was like had done this before he knew just what to do!

Austins first reconciliation

Austin had his first reconcilation Nov 28th at 10 oclock. he did an amazing job at remembering what he was so suppose to do and say. he confessesd his sins and we all went out for breakfast after at the early riser cafe. I'm super proud of you Austin..I love you so very very much! You are growing up so fast...slow down my "little man" slow down.

In the pictures above he lights a candle that will burn for 3 days in his honour and he recieves his certificate.

Santa!!! is big this year

Everyday the boys have been asking me to go to the "mall" to see Santa and each day i told them he was still very busy and not quite here yet..until the day we could actually take them. Super happy boys..so excited..gavin got a little shy when he finally got up there but they went right up to him..no fear..and just loved him to pieces..they were so pleased to have met him and talked to him and get candy from him..oh..i moment i will never forget..and a great picture to boot!

Potty Training Progress

Yes you heard me Progress..finally.

I started really trying in sept to get the boys to start going in the potty ups and downs and accidents after accidents..but it is now dec 8th and Gavin started telling us and peeing in the potty after one night we sat with him on teh floor and kept encouraging them and encouraging them before bed..and Gavin peed a full potty ("a lot" as he put it)..and continued to have a few very successful pee trips..and ben who is still not to keen on it follows suit each time gavin does because thats what he does..he does it after to show he is willing and able to and then shows him up by asking to go to the potty adding a Poop to boot...two days in a row..thomas stickers are given and this all started happening more when i told them that Santa would give a BIG gift if the diapers were gone by christmas..gavin jumped on me and knocked me over in glee when i said that..So finally we are getting somewhere and seeing a light at the end of the tunnel.

Way to go boys!

Oct and Nov - Ben's surgery, New baby cousin and The twins first Halloween all rolled into one.

Okay..so ben had surgery ..apparently he had hernia to.(and an undecented testicle).which i kept telling the doctor because i felt he did but she probably thought i was crazy. she finally took me seriously and found it(the hernia that is)..i dont' have a lot of pictures because they didn't have my name right(shocker there..just another stupid story about me and doctors and hospitals) and i didn't get to go into the recovery until he was prettymuch ready to go home..and when we got there they took him immediately as they were running ahead of schedule..but he is in a wheelchair in the picture because he has a mini epidural called an coddle and could not walk.

he did not walk for 6 days..and just kept his legs up and open and refused to move..so his 2nd bday party with my family he just sat ont he couch and had me carry him gently to watch the other kids play..poor thing..but he is fully recovered and running around like a mad man..haha

The important thing as the surgery went well and he is healthy and happy.

My boys got a new cousin..who was born oct 6th in teh morning..his name is matteus and he is my twin sisters little angel..as seen in the picture above. He has been colicy but joyful. I have watched him twice and just loved taking care of him. We all welcome him into our family and

look forward to all his first..One being his fisrt christmas in only a few weeks..

Halloween was great this year..all boys went out together for the first time as a group. the twins first halloween..super super cute. they loved it. they caught on fast they would yell."trick or treat" grabbed the candy and then yell "next house". they got scared when they saw scary people walk by in masks..

the boys were ghost and austin was dracula.. i have video of their walks and i sooooooooo enjoyed experiencing that with them more then i can ever discribe.
