September 2013

I've never been this behind in blogging but glad to be writing September's blog in November.  

So, our Craig's month began working hard in the heat, cleaning, scrubbing, washing, repeating, painting, and more painting on Labor Day weekend.  He worked so hard and we have a beautifully stained deck because of him.  

Of course, he had two little helpers that did a great job too

Avery watched from the inside

The end of August, Davis got 5 stickers on his Potty Chart (for going #2 in the potty) and we told him he could go to the toy store and pick out anything he wanted.  He was set on getting his own soccer shoes, ball, shin guards, socks, and bag.  He was so excited and it was a great incentive for him!!

Craig was able to get Ranger's Tickets from work.  We had a great time and it was a beautiful (warm) night!

Beautiful sunset - the boys love sitting up at the VERY top of the stadium

At our great seats that we sat in for a few innings 

Silly boy

The boys were so excited to pull a Hike out of the Daddy Date Jar.  They went on a fun hike with walking sticks and all.  

Davis was attempting to put on his night time diaper (he is now wearing pull-ups at night and staying clean and dry most nights)

Love Avery's face, she looks likes she is up to something

Mimi and Mammy brought some bubbles and fun wands-they had a blast with them

The Birthday Girl

This girl loves phones and Papa was kind enough to let her play with his

Caleb all dressed up after Bible Study (he does a great job dressing himself, coordinating his clothes, and looking spiffy)

This girl melts my heart

We had a fun family project and Craig worked very hard entertaining my pinterest crafting

Everyone had a turn painting

Figuring out how to hang it

I LOVE the finished product

Measuring Time!

We even attempted to measure Avery-Ha!

The boys wanted to measure Daddy

Around Caleb's birthday he was "Friend of the Flag" at Chapel School

A day in the rain

I found some other pictures from Caleb's Birthday Eve "Camp Out" and sparklers

Avery loves monkey walking and when I need a little break, I have her push the boys around on the car

Love our night routine of Daddy reading God's Word to the boys

I love my Tuesday/Thursday mornings with this kid.  When we play baseball he has to dress the part

Ah! I just love him!

Avery saying "Thank You" in sign language-usually slaps her faces or it kind of looks like she's blowing a kiss

When I say "Smile", she makes this squinted eye smile

She doesn't enjoying swinging but for 30 seconds

Having fun on a car trip

All 3 swinging for 2.3 seconds

Entertainment while swinging

Another GREAT Dentist Appointment and 2 loose teeth!!!

Avery enjoys selfies

Chapel School Pictures-this is Caleb's little class, Hedgehogs

The whole group of precious kiddos-all 4 classes

A collage of Avery and Mimi's silly moments, she grabbed her nose then was trying to bite it and was laughing

Hook'em Horns

Avery loves music and dances to the beat

One of the many afternoons at the new park up the street

Preciousness in a bow

Sweet Boy 

That was our September (along with 2 birthdays, 2 birthday parties, a lot of out of town family, a trip, soccer games, soccer practices, 2 Ranger's Games, and much much more).  We had a blast and made a ton of memories.  We are so blessed, thankful, and grateful for all that we were able to do and experience.
