Kids Activities, Fun with Dad, September 2014


Audrey is already for pre-school to start again.  She is in the oldest class and will be preparing for Kindergarten this year.  She is also starting her first soccer season.  I hope she loves it since she loves to run, is very competitive, and is a little athlete.



These cuties love the rain! AJ has also suddenly fallen in love with neon! I bought the mirror and had my friend Karin make  the temple with the words " see yourself in the temple".  I love that each time she looks in the mirror, she sees the temple.


I decorated Audrey's walls. She was very pleased with her mirror that has the San Diego temple on it and pictures of Christ with little girls.


Grammy Roome made a quilt for Audrey with lots of greens and pinks too. 



Playing after preschool.  She is now constantly asking me to take pictures of her LOL! I guess it will help me not forget to document a moment.




Audrey's playing on her first soccer team.  She loves it! She is very competitive and a bit too pushy for this age group, but she is learning.  I think teaching her good sportsmanship is going to be tougher than I expected.  Aaron still loves soccer and has the same coach that he's had for he last 2 years.




Aaron received some scouting awards at den meeting. He also did a great job retiring the flag.



Just made a yummy cake. I love seeing these 2 nap together. Sundays are great for naps!


It was actually chilly in the house so we turned on the fire and the kids got real close to get warm.



Dad took Aaron to drive go-carts in Concord. They had a great time and made some fun memories together. 




Aaron has always wanted to got to Carowinds at night so he could see all the lights on the rides.  He and daddy rode lots of rides, even the haunted one!




Happy Birthday Daddy!! I made him a baseball cake and it didn't last long.  We love cake in this house!




Aaron was very excited to meet Krishner McAruthur who wrote Girls Who Choose God. She came to our stake and read the book to the children then spoke about herself and the book.

Destination Wedding in Saint Croix ~ December 6th - 9th 2012

Image
Aaron's friend Chris from Wake Forest Business School invited us to his wedding on Saint Croix, one the U.S.Virgin Islands. When it finally came time to leave it seemed pretty unreal. Last December we were in Punta Cana loving the beach, now we were again able to be on a beach, only an American one, not in America. We flew to St. Thomas, then we squeezed into the plane in the pictures you see above and below.  It held 10 passengers including the pilot.  He turned around and gave us the basic instructions including the no-smoking bit, but if you really wanted to you just needed to step out the door, it was only 50 feet (or something like that). I was in the last row and my head was touching the ceiling. It was exciting and a little unnerving which just made the trip that much more adventurous. The view was breathtaking in many ways. After landing and taking a taxi (large full size van) that drove on the left side of the road thanks to the once British rul

Baseball, Soccer, Botanical Gardens~ May 18th - 24th

 Audrey loves the sand box.  She has no problem getting or being dirty.  The heat also does not deter her from playing in the sand.  I stand in the shade most of the time unless she wants me to build her castles that she can knock down or step on.  AJ's soccer season is over and he had a great time.  Above is a picture of the parents vs kids game we played at the soccer party.  Thankfully this year no parent or kid got hurt.  After the game we had a picnic and the players got their medals.  Audrey ran circles around the field and kicked loose soccer balls around. We had these 2 coaches for 2 seasons and they were awesome with the kids.  AJ definitely improved because of their abilities.  We will miss them as they move on to college in the fall. AJ is still enjoying his baseball season.  In the pictures above he got a single, but eventually made it all the way home.  Daddy was there to see it since it was on a Saturday, and Audrey enjoyed watching L

Some sweet things...

I went to tutor at AJ's school.  I work with one 4th grader, and two girls in AJ's class.  After turoring, I stayed and played with him and his frineds at recess.  He was the line leader and he was so proud to have his mom with him holding his hand.  All his friends wanted to play with us on the playground.  At lunch, everyone asked to sit by me.  AJ was happy to have me there and to spend time with just him.  When I go there for lunch, I let him buy a sherbert push-up and that makes it extra special. On his behavior chart at school he has been earning greens (everyone starts at green) and purples (extra good). He earns special treats at home whenever he gets a purple.  At the end of the week if he has all green and purples, he gets an egg nog shake.  We have bought as many half gallons of egg nog ice cream as we can fit in our freezer. Its a family favorite that comes once a year and we try to make it last as long as we can. AJ continues to improve his reading and it is so fun
