Back to School Family Fun Day!

Andrew had the day off on Friday so we used that day to
have a back to school family fun day! We spend the morning
bowling, going to Costco (this may not seem fun but our kids love
going there), going to the mall, and finishing the HOT day
at the zoo.  We were so happy to spend some time with
our favorite daddy!

Day Trip to Alexandria/Pineville

Since we were already going to Alexandria
to celebrate Jackson's birthday-- Aunt Hollie
asked if she and the kids could come along
for the ride. She arranged us to spend the night
with our good friends the Byrds for the night.
They have a great pool and the kids spent almost
our entire time there in the pool! We also visited
Louisiana College to show them where their
mommies met 16 years ago!

Happy 2nd Birthday to our Jackson!

Cousin Jackson turned TWO this week!
He is getting so big! We celebrated his
birthday in Alexandria at Chuck e Cheese..
We were so happy to be able to celebrate
his big day!

Cousins and Best Buddies!

Skating Aaron

We went garage saling last weekend...
one of my and the kids favorite things to do!
Aaron came home with a new to him pair of
roller-blades.  Ever since we went rollerskating
for Elizabeth's birthday in February he has been
asking for a pair of skates.  He insists he will have a
roller skating birthday party this year...... but
we will have to see about that.

Adventures with our buddies

Before summer started our good friends
asked me to keep her kids for a week since
they would be without childcare only that
week of the summer. I agreed.  The kids
loved having some playmates for the week.

We went swimming, went to the movies,
ate lunch out, and played outside in nearly
100 degree heat!

A bunch of train Conductors

Slidng Fun!

Our friends let us borrow this
great slide for Avery's birthday party and
since we had it a few days the kids took
advantage of it.... shhh so did daddy but
I didn't get a picture!

Cub Scout Skating Party

Aaron's Cub Scout pack has a few summer
activities and this was the second one...
Skating party at Leo's! Jackson came

Avery's 4th Birthday

We celebrated Avery's 4th birthday
this Sunday on the HOTTEST day
of the year so far! The parents were
sweating buckets but the kids were
nice and cool on the water slide!

This year Avery requested a Frozen
themed party so of course that is what
we did!

We celebrated with family and close
friends.  Ms. Ott made her great cake!
We played put together Olaf, had a
water balloon fight and the kids
had alot of fun on the water slide we
borrowed from a friend! 

Happy Birthday Avery!

Happy 4th birthday to our precious girl!
She is spunky, sassy,
and sweet all rolled into one! 

Sweet Summatime!

We have thoroughly been enjoying our summer days!
Most days we get up late, go swimming, maybe a playdate
here and there with our friends.  I am so sad to see the
summer break coming to an end.  Both kids will be in school
in the fall and that makes this momma so sad!
