Avery - drinking a mocha....she loved it!  I really love her smile in this picture!  She looks like she's up to no good!!!

 



Jack had a project at school where he needed to dress up like Abraham Lincoln and give a speech.  This is him, dressed up like Lincoln!  So cute!

This is a picture of the baby dedication at our church.  We dedicated Avery. 

 



Here's just a silly photo of Nick wearing a big wig...hilarious!!

 



This is Avery pouting...I can't remember why.

 

Below is video of Nick's chior singing a beautiful song based on John 1 in the Bible.  It was so gorgeous!  I had to post and brag a little bit! 

Addison's Dance "Recital"

Costume #1

 

Adies had her "dance recital" a couple weeks ago.  It wasn't really a dance recital so to speak, they just had regular class, but allowed the girls to choose costumes to dance in.  They also each received a tiara and a little blush to make them look beautiful!  Then they just did their normal class routine.  Parents sat along the side of the room and watched the mass chaos of pink flittering about the room!  It was quite cute!  Here are some pictures of the cosutmes she chose and her dancing!  It was so cute!

 





Costume #2

Costume #3

She LOVES dance and was very sad that it was over for the summer!  I'll have to coach her on her outfit choices though!!  The ones she chose were crazy!!!  

The Wedding!

 My littel brother, who is not little (he's 26 yrs old) got married over memorial weekend to the sweetest girl - Sara.  My boys were ushers and my two nieces were flower girls.

 

 Here are all the grandkids...we really struggeld to get them - Avery in particular - to pose.  This wedding happened during their nap so Avery was quite tired and a bit contrary.
