I'm Thankful for Secondhand Turkey Feasts

Are we seriously doing this picture thing every day? Alrighty then...

I was sporting this hoodie for my first outing, to Costco.

Dad says my mouth is shaped like a trapezoid. Not cool, Dad.

It hurts us!

Grammasita and Papa are so cool! I can't wait to meet my California grandparents!

Baby Beluga

Can you believe I am almost one month old?

Meet my new friend, the whale. I like to watch him in my crib.

Check out my hand-span. I could have six fingers on these fists!

Counting Mommy's freckles (or flipping the bird... you decide)

Getting acquainted with Muttsy Jr.

Even my bathtub is a whale, how cool is that?

Austin had a momentous first Halloween. He celebrated one week of life by losing his umbilical cord and having his first real bath! He likes having his head scrubbed but he is not too keen on the body wash. Since he got two newborn-sized costumes as gifts, we decided he would start the day as a giraffe! Later that afternoon he made the transformation to frog-man! We decided: Austin as a frog > Austin as a giraffe... what do you think?

About Us...

Jeff and I met in Provo, UT on May 1, 2006 playing volleyball on Stadium Terrace’s humble sand volleyball court. A few weeks later we started dating and now we’ve been married for 5 years! We both graduated from BYU in April 2009 and moved to Denver shortly thereafter. We have an adorable, talkative, three-year-old boy, Austin, who keeps us entertained and loving life. Jeff finished graduate school at the University of Denver in 2010 and started a job as an auditor with the public accounting firm McGladrey in November 2010. I have the pleasure of being a stay-at-home mom and am so grateful that I am able to be with Austin all day.
