Austin is 11!!!!!!

March 25, 1997 at 7:10 pm I held Austin for the first time!! It's so hard to believe that he is 11 already. Where does the time go?! I am so proud to be his mom!! My mom took him to lunch a couple of weeks ago and the waitress commented on how kind and polite he was. "No thank you, mam." "Yes, please, if it's not too much trouble." She told my mom that she could tell that he was going to make someone a nice husband someday because of how he treats others now. Awww... that was so sweet!!

He's never been that hard to please. He's pretty laid back and easy going for the most part. Everytime we go to the mall he wants to get a cookie from the Cookie Co. so this year, I dropped the boys off at school and scooted off to the mall to get him the cookie of all cookies (and a few other things of course!)!! Can you believe the balloon is from Valentine's Day?! Needless to say he was estatic with all of his gifts this year.

Austin: "Oh, my gosh! You drove 2 hours just to get me a cookie?"

Me: "Yes, yes, I did. Why is that so hard to believe?"

Austin: "Wow! You're awesome! Thanks!"

Me: "Mom's do crazy things when they love their children."

Austin: "2 hours for a cookie?! Wow!" (Still not knowing what to think)

Some time goes by... we eat some cookie and laugh, he opens his gifts from us...PSP game, book, and a GAP box...

Austin: "Hey, mom, isn't GAP in the mall?" (with a devilish look)

OK, OK... so I didn't go just for a cookie... how nutty do you think I am... don't answer that!!! You all know I'm a push over when it comes to my kids!!

He still thinks I'm cool though and that's all that matters!!!
