Happy Birthday Austin!

I can't believe Austin is 6 years old!  He is such an amazing kid and has been since day 1.  He is maturing into a little gentleman and Brandon and I are so proud of him.  Aside from being super smart, he is a kind person.  He has really made alot of nice friends at school this year and seems to be thriving!  We are so proud of how much he cares for others- including his brother and sister.  He still is strickler when it comes to the rules and very rarely does he get out of line or do something is not supposed to do.  This year, his love for traffic lights and roller coasters have taken a back seat to his new infatuation with Nascar.  He plays with his cars, he draws pictures of cars and the race leaderboards, he watches racing on tv, he plays racing video games, he runs around and he is always running in a race.  This year Austin has become so helpful around the house- he puts his dishes in the sink, he takes showers all by himself, he helps with his sister, he is becoming very independent and simply turning into his own little self.  We could not be prouder of the gem he is!  We love you A-train!

To celebrate, we had a family evening the night before his birthday and took the kids goofy golfing and then to Chili's for dinner. Austin was so excited for the wait staff to sing "Happy Birthday" to him. Then, on the day of his actual birthday he had a party at a local pizza place. He had a great time playing with his friends and sharing his race cake. Overall, he said he had a "fantastic" birthday!
