Beach Trip Day 1

When I originally planned this birthday
trip I was expecting it to be a nice 75
degrees but winter decided to show up with
a cold front and the low for our trip was 31!
It may have been a little colder than we
anticipated but that didn't stop our fun!

Happy 9th Birthday!

Aaron turned 9 years old last week! I can't
believe that you are 9! Where did my baby go?
We celebrated with just cake and ice cream at
home with friends and family because mom and
dad had a big surprise planned.... a beach trip
with his best friend!

Last Game

Fall ball finished up last week and we are
so proud of our boy! He played better this
season than any other. This will be the last time
he can play coaches pitch so next season it will
be kid pitch. So proud of our boys!

Yearbook Photos

I never order these kinds of pictures but
I do snap a picture on my phone and put
them on the blog!

Fall Ball

We let Aaron play fall ball this year. This
will be his last time to play coach pitch as
he will move up to kid pitch in the spring.
That was really the only reason we let him
do fall ball because with school and scouts...
lets just say that it has been to much going
on! He has grown so much though with his
skills in hitting and catching. We are so
proud of him. I couldn't post the video on
here so I took a few screen shots of one of
his awesome hits.

LSU vs Alabama

Aaron and Daddy were given some FREE yes FREE
tickets to the LSU game this weekend. They were both
so excited because this is one of the biggest games of
the season!!

The Little Gym

Avery and Brooklyn recently went to
a birthday party at the new Little Gym that
just opened. We went a lot to the one in
Baton Rouge when Aaron was little but this
was the first time that Avery was able to go.
They both loved it. Her favorite thing was
the balance beam because it was "super
easy"

Red Ribbon Day

at school.

Costume Night at Dance

Here are the girls wearing costumes for
their Halloween party at dance class.
Brooklyn was a flamingo and Avery was
super girl.

Halloween at School

Avery was able to wear a costume to school for
Halloween. She went as Elsa because her friend was
going to be Anna and she wanted to be her sister for
the day. For good behavior the kids were able to
decorate foam pumpkins and I helped during that time.

Pack the Pantry

Our Cub Scout Pack had it's 11th annual
pack the pantry night to collect food
for our local food bank. The scouts
collected 440lbs of food and we
later delivered it to the food bank.

Barn Hill Preserve Field Trip

Avery and I went on her second field
trip of the year to Barn Hill Preserve and
Pumpkin Patch. They had lots of wild
animals roaming about. We were able to hold
a baby kangaroo as well. There were some older
kangaroos in this pin and when Avery and I tried
to pet it well... it bit me and scratched her on the
face. It was a little traumatic for my girl! But we
shook it off and had a great time.

Happy Halloween!

Our last event as the pirate family was
trick or treating on Halloween night. This year
we visited a friends neighborhood instead of
our own and it was a welcome change. Thanks
to our friends who own a golf cart and a Polaris
this momma didn't have to walk at all! We just
drove from house to house while the kids got
out. It was a blast!
