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!

Avery's Birthday Pictures by Molly Mankins

Molly did a great job with Avery's first birthday
pitures! I am super pleased with how they turned
out. So glad that I hired her to take the pictures
and that I didnt spend the entire party behind
the camera.

Blue Bayou

Pop Pop treated us to a day at Blue Bayou
water park last Thursday. We were a little
unsure of how Aaron would like the park and
the slides but we were all suprised at how much
he LOVED it. He even rode 3 big slides including
one all by himself! He has asked to go back
next summer as well-- which Pop Pop will
be more than happy to take him back!

Also a big thank you to Gram for keeping
Avery ALL day for us so that we could have
some water park fun!








This is the big slide he rode all by himself

Our first trip to the Circus!

We attended our first family circus show this
Sunday. Our very good friends (the Davis Family)
joined us as well. Aaron and Kinley have been
friends since they were born... everyone had a
great time! Even Avery loved the show and the
animals. We also enjoyed $12 cotton candy!


No activity is complete without some of mommy's
shirts!


Just clowning around!



Aaron's turn



Ready for the show!






Aaron insisted that his favorite part of the
circus was the motorcycles






Everyone is enjoying the show!

Those crazy kids...

Here are just a few pictures
from the last days of summer
break with both kids at home
with me. I am sad and excited
all at the same time... here is
a little taste of the craziness....


For some reason Avery loves
to just lay on the kitchen floor--
maybe she likes that it feels cold?





Art time



I walked into Aaron's room to
find her standing on his stool--
this is right before she also took
his night light apart

guess she was tired..
