Great weekend

Hey guys! What a great weekend. Austin got Baptized and we had wonderful family and friends to help celebrate. The Doanes and Elwells were in town for the big day and Austin LOVED the attention. It was almost as if he could not imagine something as great as a day about him. Tons of kisses, snuggles and love from all the family to all the boys but Austin knew Sunday was his day. Austin looked Handsome!!! His baptism was wonderful, he slept for most of it but considering some of the other options we were all very proud of him. Rob held him over the holy water for what seemed like a long time and when he pulled him back up there was a collective sigh of relief from our side of the church, everyone had been holding their breath hoping that he didn't puke in the holy water, but he didn't and he is now one of the newest members of the church! After church we had some friends back at our house for a pool party and cupcakes.

The rest of the weekend was pool time fun with Grandparents, wonderful dinners for the adults and great company! No complaints!!

The boys had a trip to the Children's museum that was a blast, they played and ran for hours. There was a little boy there (prob about 6) that was a COWBOY! He had on a hat, button down shirt, leather vest with a sheriffs badge, belt buckle, jeans, boots and SPURS! This was the real deal and Caleb....found his idol. Caleb tracked him the first time he walked by and then when we saw him again I said "Caleb, did you see that Cowboy?" The boy heard me and smiled from ear to ear, he looked back at us over his shoulder. Caleb (mouth agape) stared....."Caleb" I say, "doesn't he look wonderful, he is a real cowboy" The older kid is thrilled with this and smiling at Caleb's effort/boots. Caleb still unable to speak because he is standing so close to a REAL cowboy, just nods. "Show him your boots Caleb" Caleb, does not break stare.....throws one foot in front of him resting his foot on the heal of his boot. "Nice boots says the boy" and just like that....the cowboy was gone.
The whole 30seconds was hilarious!!! Caleb definitely had a wonderful time at the museum.

Braydon was a monkey all day at the museum. He was climbing, jumping, running, he couldn't believe that there were buildings that big built just for playing! He had a blast and was exhausted!! He loved the time with his extended family this week and we are still asking about when we will be seeing everyone again and if they will be at his "number four" birthday. :) We did a little voice recording for a picture frame of Mary and Steve's today, we had a few things that Caleb and Braydon were going to say so we practiced and practiced and then tried, and tried, and tried, and tried and .... well you get the picture. 30 horrible recordings later we had just entered our voices in the frame one last time, we listen to it again to see how it came out and as if B had not been doing this with us for the last 20 minutes, he cocks his head to the side and says "hey mom, there are people in that box talking"......I didn't know what to say.
