Skyler's Skating Party

Skyler (my sister's youngest)turned 6 years old and
wanted his party at the local skating rink. The party
was today and boy did my kids have a good time! This
was the first time Aiden had been to a rink and I
wasn't sure how he's react but he loved it! He was
determined that he was going to skate and was getting
pretty frustrated that it wasn't happening! He kept
pushing my hand away when I tried to help him. Shae
learned to skate years ago and she was just flying
around the rink. This made Aiden even more frustrated
because he wanted to be like "Sissy". It was pretty
cute ! Thank you Maresa for including Shae and Aiden
they had such a good time!

Shaelyn's School Years in Review

First year of Preschool

Second year of Preschool

Kindergarten

First Grade

Second Grade

Third Grade

Fourth Grade

Fifth Grade

Today was Shae's first day of 5th grade! I was a bit sad

thinking that this will be her last year in Elementary

School! She has grown up so quickly. I took out her

scrapbooks this evening and was looking back at

all her "First Days of School". I am amazed at how

quickly she has gone from my little preschooler to my

5th grader! Where does time go??

Daddy's Socks

Aiden surprised me this evening when he came into the

room wearing a pair of Rob's socks! He had taken the

time to put them on all by himself and was very proud

of his accomplishments! As you see they were more like

thigh-highs for Aiden but are actually Rob's ankle socks:)

Too cute!

Shaelyn's Artwork

Shaelyn took art classes this summer at Waterworks

Visual Arts Center and had a terrific time! Here is a

picture of her displaying one of her projects. She used

charcoal pencils and oil pastels. She created this project

to look like Sophie. She was very pleased with it and we

were so proud of her accomplishments. She is definitely

our budding little artist!

VBS - 2009

Every year our church has Vacation Bible School and each

year we volunteer to help with some aspect of it. Well this

year we played low key since we are busy chasing around

a very active 2 year old. We did however, help with the

decorations and had a really fun time doing so. Here are

some pictures of Aiden and Shae in the "swamp". Our

theme this year was Crocodile Dock!
