What we've been up to...

Bros
This is Austin's daily veggie intake...ok, this is what Austin harvested after the frost killed our garden
Jensen takes baths like a big boy and LOVES them
Go mighty Couuuugars!!!
Watching some sports, just the guys
Luke is a really good older brother to Jensen
He loves to kiss and hug him - whether Jensen likes it or not
RIP garden - the day after the frost. It treated us so well and gave us so much produce! It was a fun first garden for us
The last bushell of the carrots from our frost bitten garden. These things taste one million times better than the ones you buy at the store.
We had a nice walk, and Jensen had a nice nap

Teaching Luke how to skip stones
I love these shots, we should take our family photos here - Sarah, when are you coming?

As dad Kramer calls him, Austin's " Technical adviser"
Our dryer died this week so Austin just called his dad and he told him what to do and $45 later, it was fixed! In the mean time, Luke loved playing in the barrel of the dryer. I seriously think Austin, with his dad's tutoring, can fix anything.

Thanks for the great truck shirt Grammy - so cute!

Luke was so excited to get presents from Grammy Kramer! He loved his new hat.

Jensen has been a Rays fan his entire life!

Go Rays

Luke shares the cool stickers that his great Grammy Williamson sent him with little Jence.


Luke playing at park in Provo. He went down this slide over 30 times - he loved the place!

Gracie Grace's how to slide the slide instructional video

While I tended Jensen, Bethany was so nice to entertain and push Luke and Grace on the swings, etc.

Grace loved the swings

Happy naked babies - so many fun bath toys - neither wanted to get out till Luke splashed Grace - sorry Grace.

Jence looking very grown up, he was content to rest on the bathroom counter while his brother got a bath.

Auntie Haley, always teaching - what a good aunt!

We got to see Haley for lunch on two different days when we were in Provo, it was really fun

Future Olympian Marathoner Haley Flake

This is Austin: This is the on campus clinic at Des Moines University. It is state of the art. Really impressive. This is where I will spend a lot of my time in the beginning of the third year of school.

Luke is pleased with his souvenir from his dad's travels

this pipe....used to be one piece. Yah, Grace just snapped it in two!!

Can anybody vouch for this babysitting service??


Luke stole a baby

The man cave

Up close and personal

Will Cass again be the favorite of all the aunts and uncles?

Jence say...you seem OK Cass.

Always sleeping, get a job already and pay some rent!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, I guess you don't have to pay.

Cousin Power!




We really like living near Joel and Melanie and their 5 kids who are great cousins and friends to Luke and Jensen. Some of Luke's cousins are a better influence on him than others. Emery, for example, potty trained Luke. Seriously, Luke watched Emery do it and wondered at the treats he carried around as rewards, and Luke was convinced! Last night he asked to get on the toilet 3 times and went to the bathroom each time! Today he has gone once so far. I think Emery's tighty-whities were an inspiration too.
Wesley and Preston's influence is more...physical. Sunday night they played tackle football in the living room! Of course, this is something Austin plays with Luke everyday. He has trained Luke to "hike"/throw the football to him and then to tackle him. In the video you'll see this, every time someone says "hike" Luke tackles them. It's pretty cute. He'll be a BYU football star in a few years! Go cougs!

Luke showing his brother the intricacies of how to survive his dad's infamous baby burrito.



Luke really loves his brother Jensen. He is really curious about him and always wants to be around him. After we put Jensen to bed last night, Luke wanted to go get him every 5 minutes.



Oh...how'd this get in here. This is my beautiful HOT wife 2 minutes after giving birth. Gorgeous!
