Soccer, Ballet and Uptown, Hornets Game ~ March 2015

Our sweet adopted grandma Shirley celebrated her 94th birthday so we took over a cake to make it a party!



Audrey is really enjoying her 1st season of soccer. She is very competitive and learning to be a good sport so her games are always entertaining. 






Aaron loves the projects he builds and makes.  He is very attached to these items so he is allowing me to take a picture of him with them, then we can recycle them.  



Playing and hanging out with these two. Below they are looking at a copy of this blog, The Roome Report just printed.  Then we discovered how fun wet chalk can be.






Aaron is getting some extra help preparing to try out for the school talent show.  I'm proud of him for being brave enough to do it!



Aaron loves choir!  That makes me really happy.  The concert was entertaining and I could tell he was really happy singing.




Aaron is enjoying another soccer season.  He coach is great and really supports Aaron and his team.


We got some free tickets to the Charlotte Ballet Peter Pan production through Autism Charlotte.  The kids loved it and it was encouraging to know that we could finally start attending more cultured events that require good behavior. After the performance we walked around uptown and took some fun pictures.







Aaron loves the tallest building in Charlotte! We also visited the Wells Fargo Museum and learned a little while having a good time.





Audrey is experimenting with her sleeping bag and the stairs.  She actually didn't get hurt and had a blast! I know because I had to watch her, per her request, almost every time.  LOL




There is a slight breeze and blossoms are raining down on the kids! We love spring here!




A little chilly at an early morning soccer game.  Dad knows how to keep his legs warm though.




The kids and I have been training with our martial arts studio to perform at a Hornets game.  We were nervous and excited at the same time.  Aaron loves firetrucks and ambulances so was super excited to see one backstage where we were warming up. We all did well and then enjoyed watching the game afterward.  Daddy even got to participate by holding boards for Audrey to break.  Aaron and I did a martial arts routine with 25 other students.








I made some fun Easter cupcakes for the teachers this year.

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

Image
 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
