Polar Express

We went to the North Pole last week via the Polar Express. We watched the train pull up…All aboard!!

We were welcomed on board by the conductor….


We had hot chocolate and sugar cookies…


We got our tickets punched…


We got to see the North Pole and Santa & the elves joined us on the train…



Carter told him he wanted a fish for Christmas. :) And Santa asked him if he wanted a BIG fish or a little fish...thanks Santa! He gave each child a bell and signed our Polar Express book. Fun times!

Go Lions

Carter has finally started his first long-awaited team sport...I have never seen a kid so excited about something! With his birthday being late July, he has waited very patiently. We are happy to announce his basketball practice debut.

All in a days work...

Averi is by far our mischievous child...she never stops looking for something to get into! She had one day this week that topped the cake. First she and Carter were playing on the bed, she fell off and bit a hole all the way through her bottom lip. Poor baby, it looked so painful! After Dr. Rob glued it back together we went to get Carter from Davis's house. I ran in to get him and came back to the hands covered in ink. We got home and she discovered the train with the candy in it...she emptied the candy and you can see in the last picture what I have found all around the house ...one of them tucked away in her diaper, each piece with one bite taken paper and all! It sounds like we never watch her, I promise we do!!

Happy Halloween

Just a look back...the kids love dressing up around our house on an everyday basis SO Halloween is really fun for them. Carter dresses up as something different everyday, a coach, cowboy, football player, baseball player, farmer, soccer player, police man, fireman...his creative mind is always working. Here's a look back at our Halloweens. I made these to display at our house during this time of year (stole the idea from a friend). I love to pull them out and think back to my little turtle, BamBam, Peter Pan, Tinkerbell, the fireman, and the "girl" dalmatian. I have to laugh at that turtle costume, Adam likes homemade costumes and so I try to do that every year...poor little baby in the awful turtle costume :), he actually only wore it for about 2 minutes.

Today Carter learned how to tie his shoes! And Averi can put hers on...it's a good day!
Also, I am in the middle of Beth Moore's bible study, Esther. It is WONDERFUL! If you get the chance to take this study, DO IT! You will be blessed...I definitely have.

Mi Vida Loca

Yes, mi vida loca pretty much sums it up! We always have crazy things happen to us. Last week Adam was out-of-town for a meeting and Averi comes down with the swine flu, Carter throws up, I'm stuck at home in the middle of it all. It ended up that she had fever for a total of 8 hours, it was nothing, thankfully! I wanted to put a video titled "Swine Flu, Beware" on You Tube of her running all over the house laughing & wrestling with Carter.

The vida loca continued today when Adam got in a wreck going to work. He was side-swiped, spun around a few times, and ended up facing the wrong way in the median. He is perfectly fine! But when he was hit, the other driver took off down the loop going way too fast. Adam called the cops and told them about the hit-and-run. Ended up, the man had a blowout about a mile down the road...SO, it is no longer a hit and run, thankfully! We will see what happens now. He was sad to see his car being towed down the road, I on the other hand was not too sad, I have been trying to get him to get a new car for the longest time so maybe it's a blessing in disguise. :)

Well, I will leave ya'll in suspense...Friday is our annual Halloween costume party and we are the reigning champs, 3 time reigning champs. We will not dissappoint!!!
