This morning Austyn was in a play called Nursery Rhymes. She was one of Humpty Dumpty's King's Horseman. Daddy worked very hard on her costume and did a VERY nice job. It was great! We are looking forward to tonight's halloween party with our Lifecare group. Austyn is going to be...are you ready for this...it's a BIG surprise...Hanna Montana. And Avery is going to be a Pirate. We have tought her to say ERRRRRRR Me Hardies. Stay tuned!!!
This is Austyn with her Kindergarten teacher Ms. Rhinehart at McTeacher night. A couple times a year McDonalds here in town allows the teachers and faculty of each of the schools to work and serve everyone that comes in. They also receive the money during those hours which go back into the school funding. Austyn absolutely LOVEs her teacher.
This is our dear family friend Ms. Barb at McTeacher night. She works at the school and watches over our baby girl for us during the day. We also go to church with her and her family. We love you, Ms. Barb.
Before we went to McTeacher Night last night we went to a Jr. High Football game and watched the girls' "bubba" play ball. This is the son of dear family friends of ours. The girls have always called him Bubba. He watches over them like a big brother. He played a great game, kicked several great kick offs, tackled well and the Hippos won the game 20-0. Great times!!!
This last weekend Tripp worked on tillin' up the yard with an actual tiller while the girls thought they would use their hands instead. It was a great time and our yard will look better soon. Thank goodness!!!
Just you just LOVE their form ;-)
I know the picture quality isn't very good but that's because these came from my phone. Oh all people to decide not to bring a camera to something...why me??? On Friday night, Tripp and I went on a date night with very dear friends of ours to a concert. It was Mercy Me with opening act Bebo Norman. I had seen Mercy Me once before and it was just as good again. I could see them over and over again. If you haven't listen to anything of theres please check them out. They are a comtemporary christian group and they are awesome. It was so much fun and memories that will last forever. We even got to sit in the very "FRONT ROW!" What a blessing...dear friends, great concert, great laughs and front row sits. WOW! Oh yeah, we were on the big screen like a thousand times as well but that was a little embarrassing. We couldn't stop laughing about it.
For Avery's actual birthday we celebrated with pizza, cupcakes, pumpkins and family. It was a blast and memories that will last forever. Happy 3rd birthday, Baby Boo. We love you!!!
A week or so before Avery was born her Aunt Krissi painted my belly to look like a pumpkin to make into a card for everyone. We laughed so hard during this we almost peed our pants. A lot of people didn't even realize that it was my belly and not me holding a real pumpkin. Aunt Krissi did an awesome job.
We love you, Avery K. I remember the day like it was yesterday.
This is a very special woman in our families lives. The day Avery was born she came up to the hospital and spent time holding Avery and taking lots of pictures for us. The girls call her Aunt Kappy. She started a tradition last year of bringing the girls a "birthday sprinkle donut" and this morning their was a knock at the door with a special delivery for Little Miss. Thank you, Aunt Kappy. We love you!
This weekend we traveled a little ways up the road to watch two of our nephews play soccer. They both played really good and it was so good to see them all. We don't get to see them as often as we'd like to. Their family now lives about an hour from us. You wouldn't think that would be that hard but between the two of our families and activities we don't get to see them all. The kids got to play on an awesome playground in between games and then we went back to their house for lunch. We hope it make it back to their place soon.
