Valentine's Photoshoot

For Valentine's I decided that Austyn and I should get our pictures taken so Lance could have some pictures of his girls. So here are some pictures of Austyn and I. Didn't get to take many pictures because Austyn was turned out to be sick. I think these pictures are really cute for the circumstances. The photo's were taken by Tanya Carter with Simple Things Photography.

Christmas 2009

This year for Christmas my family decided that we weren't going to buy gifts for each other at least for the adults anyway. We decided to spend four days in West Yellowstone just hanging out. Here are some pictures of the family hanging out and some adventures we had taken. Hope all went well with everyone this Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone. Thanks for the fun filled weekend Lee, Sharlie, "Z", "Squeaky", Mom, Dad, Auzzy, and Lance!

Fall Pictures of Austyn.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

She stole our hearts!

Well, I haven't posted for a while, but I had to post this story of Auzzy. Yesterday, she wanted to know why her last name wasn't Black. So, I explained to her why. Then Auzzy demanded that she needed to be adopted. I told her she needed to ask Lance.

Later that night, she decided before she was going to go to bed that she was going to call Lance. So, she called Lance telling him all about her trip to the Idaho Falls Museum and was teasing him. She made me talk to him and then she decided she had to talk to Lance again. She then asked Lance and he told her yes. Auzzy's face then just beamed and her eyes sparkled is was the cutest thing ever.

More news, Lance is living in Washington got a new job. Auzzy and I are still here in Idaho waiting for the house to sale or for me to get a new job. It is exciting!

Hello My Name is Joe!

Well, Austyn has been in school a couple of weeks now and is learning lots. Stuff I never thought of learning in Kindergarten. She has been doing addition and subtraction. She has been reading really well too. Anyway, last night at Nana and Papa's house (Grandma and Grandpa Gallup) Austyn was being silly doing Nana's hair and then suddenly bursts out in this poem that I am assuming she learned from school that goes like this:
Hello my name is Joe,
I live and work in a button factory,
One day my boss comes up to me and says,
"Are you busy?"
I said, "No."
"Push that button, push that button!"

The way Austyn was saying it got Nana and I laughing so hard. I am wondering what her teachers are going to teach her next.
