Happy Gotcha Day, Ava Kate!!

Eleven YEARS!!! 

ELEVEN!! 

It's been a heck of a ride and I couldn't be more in love or prouder of my girl. 

Thank you to the Good Lord for matching us with this perfect person. 

With so much going on, we kept is low key and had the grandparents over for hibachi night. 

Her gift this year was a ticket to the Pentatonix. Her and I will be attending the concert in December! 

 

Get Air Fun!

I started working with a mentor program through the school. 

For about a year, I have been mentoring Jacey and Bryson. They are a super sweet set of twins! 

We've really bonded over the last year and they adore Ava and Addy.

We were invited to celebrate their 8th birthday at Get Air! 

One full hour of play equals lots of sweat and even more smiles!

Trick or Trunk

Our church hosted their annual Trunk or Treat. 

We decorated our trunk with Halloween decorations and our little banana had a blast!

 

Ava's First Middle School Dance/Party at Lucy's

While we were filling the candy bags, 

Ava Kate had her first Middle School dance! 

She was part of a big group that dressed as Toy Story characters. 

She was Forky! (red shirt, white mask).

They met at her friends house before for photos! 

They has a great time at the dance and even won the grand prize got best costume! 

Back to Lucy's for fun and swimming!! 

Yes, in October. 

 

Happy Birthday, Aunt Emily!

Aunt Emily turned 44!! 

We celebrated the day after and she chose Olive Garden for her birthday lunch. 

It was a super yummy lunch with great company. 

After lunch we headed back to Nana's for Aunt Tammy's chocolate cake and ice cream. 

After cake and ice cream, we started to fulfill Grandma's tradition of candy bags for Halloween. 

We filled 500 bags of candy. 

However, Addy had no desire to fill the bags so she created a pillow kit from Aunt Tammy. 

So cute!!

Friday Night Rain!

Our Friday nights are usually at the football field, rain or shine. 

I actually really enjoy the rainy nights because this girl and I snuggle under the umbrella the whole night.
