| Austin- 3 months old |
I finally scanned and organized photos of Austin Dodd. I promised myself that I would not blog again until first blogging about my most amazing 3rd child. It seems like you can ooooh and aaaah and be gushy about girls, but that is not the way it goes with boys. You have to be a little more careful about what you divulge about them even though the things that you want to divulge are all positive and great, those positive items may be extremely embarrassing and uncool. So, just so you know, there are many more things I could say about Austin, but I just can't say it all...
I am so proud of this sweet little boy who grew up to a tall, 6'2" still sweet (but not so LITTLE anymore) boy. He is almost sixteen and we're not sure if he is 6'2" forever or is still moving upward.
This kid is awesome! Austin loves to have fun, keeps us laughing with his variety of different ethnic impersonations.
He loves most sports. This year as a Sophomore, he has played Football, Basketball and will play LaCrosse in the Spring, all while receiving straight A's at Logan High School.
He takes time to be prepared and organized as he studies, although his room rarely reflects those qualities. Oh well...
He has been patient this year with me as I have learned more about sports. Since the girls moved out, we have been watching markedly more of ESPN and therefore, I have had to take up a serious study of football with his expert help.
Austin is a grateful child, which is a wonderful blessing. He is so great with kids...they love him! He is a great help and a hard worker and I am so happy I have him around, he makes our home a fun place to be.

My favorite part of Austin is his love for Texas...anyone who loves Texas as much as I do is golden in my book! ;) p.s. i think you did a great job of showing all his good qualities without sounding mushy :) p.p.s. sorry we missed you guys at the get together :( We plan on bringing a treat by though for christmas..love ya!
Thanks Crystal! We missed you two at the 53rd ward reunion party, but some things are more important! I hope to see you soon!
Oh my Shelley! Those pictures of little Austin made me tear up! When did MY little buddy Austin grow up so much?! He is still just as cute, but I wouldn't even recognize him!
Everyone says it happens fast and it really is true! Take lots of pictures of your sweet little ones and lots of hugs too!
I love Austin! I was looking at a family picture from a few years ago and I thought, man, Austin sure shot up! He is such a considerate kid yet the life of the party. Have I mentioned lately that I wish I lived closer to you guys. I still need Austin to explain lacrosse to me!
My mom said it's a Christmas miracle that you blogged. Must be because she's gone and you don't have anything to do. :)
He seems like a really cool kid. What a great family.
I love Austie!
