Happy Birthday Avery

Sept 5, 2006, 2:51 pm Avery graced us!

We are so excited to celebrate Avery's 3rd birthday! She has grown up so much and we wanted to share some pictures of her. She keeps asking and even praying for her ears to get peirced for her birthday, we'll have to let you know if that happens. We love our beautiful Avery so much, she brings so much fun into our home. Happy Birthday little girly!

Kindergarten, WOO HOO!!

Jaeden is all ready for her first day of school.

The whole family walked down the street together to take her.
Avery wanted in on the camera action too.

I couldn't resist taking her picture at her new desk(well table really)

She was so excited despite the screaming classmate. It was hard to leave her but successfully their was no tears (for either of us).

Jaeden and Audrey

We came and picked her up from her long day of school. She said she was so tired and hungry. She kept telling me all about her day and how much she loved it. I can't believe we have started the world of school but Jaeden is so smart and ready for it.

Kindergarten Party

We thought it would be fun for Jaeden to be able to play with as many of her friends that were starting Kindergarten one last time before school starts, so we had a Kindergarten party. The kids came in their swimming suits and we had a slip n'slide, a cool shark pool (thanks Lara) and a fun sprinkler (thanks Abby). When the kids were starting to get bored with that Rushell brought a fun waterballoon game to play. We had lunch and then crayon popcicles. We had a great time, lots of fun!

Surprise Shower for Janelle

Rushell and I made this carseat cover for Janelle. It was our first time, Janelle may be the lucky one to have the one and only original. It was fun to make.

Janelle, Rushell and her mom Kathy

Rushell picked me and Janelle up for a girls night out to Cheddars for dinner a few weeks ago. We had a little surprise for Janelle when we got there with all these fun ladies to celebrate Janelle's baby girl, Ainsley who is due in a couple of weeks. She got lots of adorable baby girl clothes and other fun baby items. It was so fun and we are excited to meet this cute baby girl.

Crowe's Nest Farm...in August??

Dominic's first hayride, we saw tons of cute little baby ostridges

The coolest place of the farm, under the tunnel that led to the Fairie Woods

All the cute kids that survived our fun outing. I wish I would have gotten a picture of Laura too. We actually really had a lot of fun despite the over 100 degree temperature at 10:00am. It was the last day the farm was open until October so Laura invited us to join her and her kids to see the animals. The last time I was at this farm was 5 days before Dominic was born so we had a little bit of a different experience this time around.

Sleepover with the Chambers

Jaeden, Audrey, Avery and Aiden

We had the Chamber kids over for the night while their parents celebrated their 10 year anniversary. It was so fun and they all played and slept so good. We definetly need to do it more often.

Swimming Lessons

Jaeden's class, level 3

Aaron, Avery and Aiden ran around and played together every day while the older siblings had their swimming lessons. Next summer these 3 will be able to join them. Jaeden loved her teachers and loved going every day. It is so fun to watch her swim. It also gives me a peace of mind that she knows how.
