Avery's Golden Birthday

So, Avery turned 10 (August 10th!) And I'm just now getting around to sharing some images from her amazing party. Our dear friend Lauren planned the most amazing, fun, beautiful party and Avery loved every minute of it!



We had a photo booth, a science experiment, and a nail salon. It was such a good day! Avery was surrounded by friends and family that love her, the food was fabulous, and her cake was amazing! It was so fun to celebrate this amazing girl who first made me a mother!

And a few after the party pics:

Fun with Whitney

It makes me sad when I don't blog, and then I can't remember what we did. One thing I do remember is what a blast it was to have Whitney come and spend New Year's Eve with us! She introduced the kids to Studio C, hilarious! Then the kids put on a few skits of their own. So fun!

Avery and Whitney also made a spa concoction and did each others nails. Can't wait until they can play again!

Quality boy time building cars with k'nex.

This is Halloween

Wishing you a happy Halloween! From Gotham City, Hogwarts, the Dark Side, and a woodland cottage! Hope you have a spooky fun day!

Chapel

I love spending all day with this girl! And I love that she keeps asking me to take "one more" picture of her! She really makes life Fun! (Apparently, she really loves this shirt!)

Maybe she'll be a Jack-o-lantern for Halloween...

This little girl lost another tooth! And for maybe the first time in our history, the tooth fairy actually managed to show up on night one! Which led to lots of snaggle-toothed smiles!

Then this little girl wanted in on the action. I was happy to oblige!

An apple a day...

Brittain and her good friend Nashalie

Two field trips in two weeks, not bad! Brittain's kindergarten class went to Skytop Apple Orchard on Friday. The apples were a bonus, Brittain was most excited about her first bus ride ever! We also enjoyed a tractor ride, picked apples, played with friends, and ate the most amazing apple cider donuts known to man!

Arboretum Here We Come

Mason with his good friend Finn

Mason's second grade class went to the Arboretum for their field trip this year. We had loads of fun looking for crawdads and crane flies in the creek and learning about weather and tools to measure weather. Chapel also enjoyed her first bus ride. The day was a success!

Back to School

Better late than never!
