Happy Birthday Paige

Paige insisted on going bowling for her birthday this year. We all had so much fun! The kids bowled on one lane - Avery came in first place. The adults bowled on a separate lane - Adam won with me a close second (thanks to my three strikes in a row!!)

Pumpkin Carving

It's pumpkin carving time again! As usual, Paige was very interested in helping and Avery just wanted to see it when it was done. Thanks, Daddy, for doing most of the carving!

Eww! It's so gooey!

My very brave Avery got her ears pierced! Such a trooper and she didn't even flinch!

Mini Vacation

A couple weeks ago Adam had the opportunity to attend a Kawasaki event and stay for two nights at the Gaylord Palms Hotel. The girls and I took advantage of this and turned it into a minivacation. The girls could not contain their excitement of staying in a hotel. Now they will think all hotels are like the Gaylord. We had an awesome time!!

The Key West area of the hotel. Quite a pose, Avery. :)

We spent one day in Downtown Disney checking out all the shops and seeing a movie. Whale's Tail in 3D.

Sailboat inside the hotel.

Earth Day and Congrats to Danielle

This past Saturday was graduation at Florida Southern College where I work. Our dear friend, Danielle graduated and I'm not quite sure what we'll do without her. She has become like family over that past several years and even volunteered to pick Avery up from school and help her with homework this spring. She loves my girls like they were her own sisters. We are so excited for what lies ahead for Danielle as she travels to Memphis to teach in urban schools. She has a heart for God and I can't wait to see what she will accomplish in life. We love you Dani!

Lowes was giving away free trees for Earth Day so we headed there to see what it was all about. They gave us these little tiny trees that we are supposed to plant in a pot for a year before transferring to regular ground. My track record with plants is not too stellar so I'll be shocked if they make it a year. I hope they do well.
