Buy Some Popcorn!
Cub Scouts are selling popcorn this month. Our goal was
$400 per scout and we are already over that. Aaron loves
to sell stuff... he must get it from his momma!

Avery writes her name!
This may not be a huge deal to some but our little
lefty has been struggling to write her name but this week
she finally got it! We still need to work on the E but we
are so proud of her!

Dot Day
Aaron's school celebrated Dot Day on Friday.
Don't ask me what that is because I have no
idea but all the kids were supposed to wear
polkadot clothing. Most boys do not own
anything with dots so we came up with this
shirt for him to wear.

PreK Tricycle Ride
Avery's school had a tricycle ride as the major
fall fundraiser for the school. The girls and boys
put on their best cowboy outfits and rode laps
for pledges. I made her a shirt and found some
boots at a consignment shop. I think her little
cowgirl outfit turned out cute!

Grandparent's Day at School
Avery's school celebrated Grandparent's
Day this week by inviting them to come
for a short visit. Avery was so excited
that both sets could join her for this special
day. They showed a slide show of pictures,
sang songs, had crafts ready, and a snack
in the cafeteria. I also included a photo
of our Bub Bub so we could remember
her as well.

Aaron has started his 2nd year in scouting this week.
We are so proud of him! This year he will also be joined

to be a great year in Cub Scouts!

New Fish
A friend gave us this great fish tank a few months ago
but we never had the time to fill it up until this weekend.
Aaron's beta fish JJ (who we had for almost 2 years!)
died a few weeks back so it was great timing that we were
able to go on Labor Day to buy new fish.
Meet George, Yoda, Rose and Violet!
on a sad note: Yoda as already bit the dust but we are
taking his lifeless body (that is currently in my frig)
back to Petco for a replacement!

A Hiking Surprise
While staying in the cabin we decided to go
on a hike and stumbled upon $30 in the woods!
It was a nice surprise for mom and dad who used
it go to on a date the next weekend! HeHe!

Bogue Chitto State Park
We rented a cabin last weekend at Bogue
Chitto State Park. Pop Pop and JuJu were
able to make the weekend trip with us. There
are so many great state parks in Louisiana
and we are trying to stay at some over the
next year. This park offered a great playground,
a water slide, fishing and canoeing. The kids did
great on their first canoe trip! Thankfully it was
just an hour... the adults arms were starting to hurt!
We would definitely go back to this one for sure!

Cousin Party!
Aunt Brittney and Uncle Matthew hosted
a Sunday afternoon back to school cousin
party to celebrate the start of the new school
year. It was only a mild 101 degrees outside
but the kids didn't seem to care! We had ice
cream, brownies, and some time on the go
kart!

Avery Goes to Big School!
Our baby girl is headed to big school
this year. Mommy has so many mixed
emotions about her going. She is ready but
mommy is not! We have been together
24 hrs a day for the last 4 years and it
will be so different not to spend my day
with my little girl! She is excited though so
it makes it a lot easier. Below is a comparsion
to when Aaron started pre-k!

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!
