Happy 6th Birthday to my Aaron!

Aaron's actual birthday isn't for another 2 weeks but
I have been so busy with craft shows and Andrew with
studying-- we opted for an early birthday party.  This
year we went low key-- just family and a few friends.

We didnt have a "theme" however I would say it was
more of an "uncle Christopher" themed birthday b/c
Aaron wanted an air force cake and he requested a new
uncle Christopher shirt to wear the day of the party. We
also promised him a sleepover with 2 friends and we
are taking him to toyrus to pick out something he wants.

JJ the beta fish

Aaron was selected as star student in his class this
month as I mentioned earlier in the blog.  For being
selected star student he received a free Raising Canes
kids meal and the local pet store gives a gift certificate
for a free beta fish!  Meet JJ our star student's new beta
fish! 

Homecoming Parade

The homecoming parade rolled through main street
on Friday afternoon... Elizabeth and Spencer joined
us for the fun and candy catching.

A few more pictures

These pictures are from Aunt
Hollie's camera.... The first is at the
girl's dance party and the others are
from David's last baseball game...

My girl makes the cheesiest faces!

 

I'm still in awe of how long Avery's hair is--- this night I didnt
pull it back up... she kind of looks like cousin IT!

Happy Halloween!

Our orginal plan was to go to the
church down the street for their trunk or
treat and then visit our favorite neighbors for
more trick or treating--- however-- it was
pouring! So we opted for pizza at home
with family and then the local yogurt shop was
offering free yogurt for the kids!  On the way
home we did let Aaron run out in the rain to
get some candy from our neighbors.... they
sure did load him down with candy since
no one else had visited them earlier in the
evening!

Character dress up day and school

Our handsome boy choose to be Uncle
Christopher for character dress up day...
he sure does look handsome in that
uniform!

Halloween Party at Dance Class

Avery and Brooklyn had a halloween party at
dance class this week. The girls could wear their
costumes and they had goodies to eat.  We think they
all looked so cute!

The Waldos and the Wendas at Zoo Boo!

We continued our yearly tradition of going to Zoo
Boo... plus we get in free with our membership and
the kids get candy and coupons for free ice cream!

Our costumes this year were picked by mommy...
and Aaron as we introduced him to our love of the
Where's Waldo books! We had lots of great comments
on our costume choices!

Star Student October 2013! K-5

Our Star Student! Aaron was selected
as star student in his class for the month
of October!  We are very proud of him!

Pumpkin Patch with friends

Last weekend we went to the Pumpkin Patch a little
outside of town with Aaron's best bud Jackson and his
little sister Rebecca. The patch offered pumpkins,
a hayride, and also animals...there were kangaroos,
turtles,  bunnies, goats, and a few others.  The kids
had a great time... the mommies were hot as it was
a typical 90degree fall day!

Happy Fall!

Dance Video

This is Avery's favorite part of dance class--

she says "we dance in a circle"

Dance Update

Avery has now completed 3 dance classes.  She has
warmed up a little more to it each time.  There is no
more finger in her mouth but alot of the time she just
stands on her spot and stares at everyone.  But when we
get home she does the movements and says what the
teacher says to do .... so I know she is actually paying
attention she is just shy I guess.
