Life is a Highway - Turning 4 Lightning McQueen style

John has been out of town...with the laptop so I haven't been able to blog Austin's birthday. I'm so glad to have my big man back (and the laptop). Austin has been talking about his birthday for the past year. Our Austin has never been a wallflower. He has always been the life of the party. We had a bbq for all our friends with Cars themed games and cake. He told me that "it was the best day ever!"

A look back at Austin...





















John and I spent a long time on the cake but it was worth it. Austin was so anxious to eat a tire.



























"Austin"-isms:

-He calls diarrhea Diet Coke. He told me a bird had Diet Coke all over my car.

-He always says, "What did you said?" instead of "What did you say?"

-When he wakes up every morning he wants a detailed schedule of what we are doing the entire day. "So we are going to the gym, and then lunch, and then ride our bikes, and then hot tubbing, and then Monster Tag, and then..." The list goes on. So unlike John and I.
We love you Aus.
