Soooooo...the verdict is still out on whether or not soccer is Zay's choice of sport. Because honestly most days he'd rather make up some pretty sweet dance moves, wave to strangers on the sidelines, or pull RANDOM things out of his pockets and balance them on his head. But overall, we have high hopes for his soccer career. ;)

I shall pretend that this photo's caption is "I love you, Ellie!" And "Here, it's your turn with the shovel, Zay!" ....Rather than the actual "Ellie - GIVE ME THE SHOVEL RIIIIIIGHT NOW!!!!" {takes said shovel} And "NO, NO, NOOOOOOO!" {crying...lots and lots of crying} Yes....lets just live in a pretend world for a moment!! ;)

Okay...so it's probably not appropriate to photograph someone while they pray, but she was so intensely into her prayer that I don't think she noticed or minded! ;) #praisinjesus

My hubby just LOVES it when I tell him I want to paint furniture! ;) He's such a good sport in helping me with these projects! Bought this hutch on craigslist and gave it some new life! :) Now...three more projects to go...!!

I took these photos this morning to document a day in our life that both kids slept in past 7am... But I think it's a far better documentation of who wakes up jumping for the sunshine and who needs a few more cuddles! ;)

You know it's been an exciting day when the focus of conversation at the dinner table is where it is and is not appropriate to puke. Zay seems on the mend, but Ellie is showing symptoms now! ...Austerman's will most likely be celebrating Easter from the comforts of home! :(

Super woman here!!! I just benched 120#!!!! How awesome is that?!? Okay, okay...April Fools! But I did try my darnedest to edit this picture to make my arms look strong... Didn't work. ;) But the workout thing did happen today! And so did the rest of this... 1. the husband left for work at 5am this morning and still not home this evening 2. cleaned a poopy puppy kennel 3. dealt with crazy-silly-needy-hungry-kids...ALL DAY! 4. loads and loads...and a few more loads of laundry 5. dishes...always, always dirty 6. chiro appts 7. pharmacy stop 8. post office run 9. dinner 10. soccer practice ...so the fact that working out was #11 on my list and it got done, I pretty much feel like super woman! ... That is, a super EXHAUSTED woman!!! ;)
