DALLAS’S ELK HUNT

Success!

Gavin’s new smile!

As promised, here is a picture of Gavin with his missing tooth. He was so excited! He was eating an apple and he told me that it was hurting his tooth. So, I looked at the tooth and tried to wiggle it and it wiggled just a tiny bit so I told him that it was a tiny bit loose but sometimes it can take a while for it to become loose enough to fall out. About 5 minutes later, he took a big bite out of his apple and his tooth popped out! He wanted to go to bed right then so he could put it under his pillow for the tooth fairy. The tooth fairy didn’t disappoint- she left him $5.00!!

I had to put these pictures on here too. These were taken today, Oct 9th. The kids were so excited to build their first snowman! The ended up building three of them. It’s a good thing they went out early because all of the snow, except for their snow-men is already melted. 

New Pictures!

I went out a couple weeks ago and took some pictures of the kids. I think they turned out pretty good. The top three are my favorites!

Avery didn’t want to cooperate. She just wanted to pull faces.

I am just glad I took them when I did. last night Gavin lost his first tooth and I am glad we got pictures done first! I will post a picture of his toothless grin later!

The kids are loving school this year. They both love their new teachers and are always happy to go. Avery is adjusting to her new routine as well. She loves pre-school and seems to be enjoying day-care. Nap time has messed up her evening schedule because she hasn’t napped in over a year, and now she is suddenly napping every day at day-care which leaves her wanting to stay up all night. She is adjusting though, and I am hoping that within a few more weeks, we won’t have a problem. My job is going great! I love it. The days just fly by and the kids in our class are just adorable. It has been so nice to not be stuck home all day every day. It has been difficult to keep up on everything else though…laundry, cooking, cleaning, yardwork, blogging, ect.. But, I’ve just decided that it’s okay if I can’t get get everything done. I can catch-up on the weekends! Yay for weekends! 

Avery’s big day!

Avery’s Birthday was pretty exciting! she really wanted a pink barbie cake so that’s what she got. I was pretty nervous about making the cake and having it look decent but it turned out better than I had thought it would-and she loved it so that’s all that matters! Here she is getting ready for her party and showing me how old she is. I love how she does her “3” with her fingers.She was so excited about her new bike. It took her a few days to get the hang of it but now she rides it all over!

She couldn’t wait to bust open the pinata!

Unfortunately, most of the kids didn’t get a turn to whack the pinata because Gavin hit it a little too hard and it exploded!At least they all got lots of candy out of it! For her Birthday Avery got a new bike and a Barbie play set from mom and dad, another barbie from her friends Kenzie and Oaklee, a coloring book, a cute crayon roll, and a necklace from her friend Hannah, some cute clothes and a really nice Cinderella dress from Grandma Sill, and some money from Grandma and Grandpa Anderson that she used to buy a giant bean bag. She was adorable and had a great day! We Love you Avery!!
