Zoo Day

Grandma Karen came to town and took us all to the zoo!!

 

Reagan loved seeing the animals, I think her favorites were the otters and penguins.

 

 

 

Blackberry Picking

We had lots of fun today picking blackberries!

Reagan played in the dirt and ran around Mom and Shawn's yard while I plunked berries into my bucket.

By the end of our berry escapade we both needed a bath!

Weekend Recap

What an action packed weekend for us Austin's!

 

Reagan and I headed off to Bickelton Friday for the night and came home Saturday, Cody had to work so we left him at home.

 

 

Saturday we spent lots of time outside, loving us some farm time!

 

 

If this face doesn't scream 'trouble maker' I don't know what does!

 

Nana and Reagan, so happy Reag is getting to spend time with her Great Grandma.

Four generations of Gray girls.

 



Uncle Rick harvesting.

 



 

My Papa, a true farmer at heart.

 



 

After a great day visiting with family we ventured home.

 

 

 

Sunday we got up bright and early and decided to go for a little Sunday hike as a family. We drove out to enumclaw to mud mountain and did a straight up hill 4.5 mile hike. It was great to get some fresh air and load up on vitamin D.

 

 

When we came home Reagan took a nap and Cody and I started a movie. About an hour into it I decided a nap sounded pretty good, So I indulged in a little nap myself.

 

It was a great weekend with lots of family time.

 

 

Gender Predictions

I thought it would be fun to give some old fashioned gender predictors a try. If you google it, you will find hundreds of old wives tales that can help you predict whether you're having a bouncing baby boy or a beautiful baby girl. Luckily I was able to find a handful that didn't require me mixing my pee with toxic chemicals, or painting my belly in buffalo blood.

 

So here it goes::
