Fun with crayons

Avery LOVES crayons! She loves
to draw with them and she loves
to dump them out and put them back
in the container. On a side note
I also think she will be left handed
since she always holds her
crayons in that hand.

A Taco Moment

If anyone knows Aaron -- you know that he is a
PICKY eater. If you ask him what fast food place
he wants to eat at he will always tell you
Mcdonalds... well finally... he has another choice
to add. Yes folks-- Aaron is now a Taco Bell
fan! Daddy is beyond excited that he has a new
eating place to share with his boy (Mommy
hates taco bell)!

Avery is not quite ready for her
taco bell moment but she was all
smiles eating her meal from home!

Labor Day Play Time

On labor day we invited Aaron's best bud
Jackson over to play. They had a great time as
usual. There was another boy 2 houses down that
was visiting his grandmother and he came over
to play as well.

Hurricane Issac

Hurricane Issac decided to make
his appearance in Zachary this
week-- the winds were steady
but not as bad as expected. Other
than a little while without power
we made it through easily. This was
Avery's first hurricane and Aaron's
second but he doesnt remember
the first one in 2008. We got out
of the house for a bit and played
in the rain...

Pop Pop's Wedding

This weekend Pop Pop married Ms. (now Mrs.)
Judy. Aaron and Avery walked down the aisle
together-- it was a special treat since we thought
only Aaron would be the ring bearer but since
Avery is now walking Aaron held her hand down
the aisle. It was so cute. I didnt have any pictures
on my camera but I will post some later.

Learning to Walk

My girl has been taking lots
of steps and falling down alot.
Here she is sporting her cloth
diaper and leg warmers-- poor
thing looks like an 80s music
video!

Cast Removal day Continued

This is an older picture but I forgot to post it

with cast removal day-- The morning she got her

cast off I let Aaron draw on it. He had been asking

since she got it on! But she was NOT having it--

he chased her around with the marker for a

few minutes before giving up.

We have a walker!

4 days post cast and my Avery is now a walker!
Her poor left foot is still really turned to the side
so I hope that it corrects itself over time

Cast Removal Day!

We have been waiting for this day
since July 2nd! Its time for the nasty
red cast to come off! Just in time b/c
it was starting to stink!


The Before


The During-- she was not happy!


The after-- she has a nasty looking
rash and it is VERY itchy-- gave
her a bath and put some lotion on it--
here she is rubbing it with a napkin
until it started bleeding :(

Avery's new teeth

Our little snaggle tooth now has 3 teeth--2 on
the bottom and 1 big one on top-- Sorry about
this picture she didnt want to open her mouth

Aaron the Bus Rider

Aaron really wanted to ride the bus this
year but I was set on bringing and picking him
up--- until I sat for 45 mins in the carpool line
so this week... a brave momma put her baby
on the bus for the first time. He has loved it
so far.


Avery waiting on Big Brother



There it is!



My boy getting off the bus!

A new room and a new bed

We have been waking Avery up
alot with her in the nursery so
we decided to move her to the guest
room. Someone gave me this crib
for free and daddy painted it hot
pink for her! I also painted the
bottom half of her new room to match.

Tonight is her first night in the new
bed and new room-- she is still
screaming so we'll see how it goes.

Where is Avery?

We FINALLY got a back door

We have lived in this house for 7 years and
we have been talking about how we needed a
back door for that long! We finally got one this
week and we are all excited!

First Day of Pre-K

Pre-K Meet and Greet

Wednesday Aaron was able to
walk into his new school for the
first time. I have driven by it
a few times but this was the first
time he was able to walk inside.
We met his teacher and found
his cubbie hole, paid for his lunches,
and walked around to show him the school.


His classroom


He found his name and his seat--
next to his friend Tyson from church


Found his cubbie!
