Halloween Party at school

Aaron and his best buds from school
participated in the fall harvest festival.
There were games, candy, cupcakes, and
lots of fun!

Halloween Night

Each Halloween night we attend the annual

Trunk or Treat at the church across the street.

This year there were pony rides and jumpy

houses. Kinley also came along for

trick or treating

Teo's Sweet Tees

Last Friday was my last day of work at the
Bank of Zachary. I am now officially a stay at home
mom! or work at home mom since I just also
started my own tshirt boutique! Thanks to dad
who bought me a heat press for christmas- I'm in
full tshirt making swing now! I also participated
in the Shop for a Cure event in Brusly-- the crowd
was light but I sold 17 shirts and 8 transfers! My goal
was to make enough to keep Aaron at st. Patricks
preschool for another month-- so I did do just that!

Boo at the Zoo

We have continued our tradition of
attending Boo at the Zoo this year. Avery
as Minnie Mouse and Aaron as Captain
America. Aaron got a bucket full of
candy-- Daddy ate Avery's :)

FIRST Camp out!

Aaron had his first camp out last Friday night. The
weather was cool and Uncle Tim invited Aaron and
daddy to camp out in Gram and Paw Paw's back
yard. Much to our suprise-- everyone lasted ALL
night!

Setting up the tent

The Boys are ready!

The girls came along to eat hot dogs-- then

went home to get a good nights sleep!

A Pirate Party

Aaron has anxiously been awaiting the birthday
party of the year. Jackson Peay's pirate 4th
birthday party! Jackson is Aaron's best bud at
school. You can see they make a great looking
pair!

This party was held at LASM and was fully
pirate themed...complete with digging for buried
treasure, decorating swords and treasure chests,
and stamping with pirate stamps! Aaron wore
his Mickey Mouse pirate outfit-- complete with
pirate mickey underwear!

Baby Girl is growing!

Avery had her 2 month check up today- she
is 10lbs 2oz and in the 75th percentile for height.

She and Aaron both had 3 shots so it was a rather
tramatic morning.

Conversations with Aaron

Aaron has learned that we all have other names--

He got in the car yesterday and said "Momma, My name
is Aaron Gaines, Your name is Abby Gaines, Daddy's name
is Andrew Gaines, and Baby Sister is Avery Gaines"

I asked him if he knew what his middle name is. He said no.
I said your middle name is Griffith. Your full name is Aaron
Griffith Gaines.

He said... "oh no Momma... Aaron Griffith is my time out name!"

St. Jude Trike-A-Thon 2011

Aaron participated in this years
trike-a-thon for St. Jude- he was
super excited about riding his bike
this year.

These are photos from 2010 & 2009

Around the house

Avery tried out the bumbo seat this week-
she is still a little small but b/c of the acid reflux
she prefers to be sitting up
