Kindergarten Dessert Feast!

Our 'table" ...  there are slices of pumpkin and apple pie on those plates.  We got one of each!

We got to pick which costume to wear.  I chose to be a Native American Pilgrim.

Getting ready for our feast!

Have you ever seen 60 five-year-olds sit still all at once?  It happened!

We told what we were thankful for.  I said, "I'm thankful that my Mommy got me a new truck."  

Hugs for Hailey!  

We celebrated Thanksgiving with my kindergarten class with a Dessert Feast!  While I'm not a big fan of desserts whose main ingredients are fruit, I did enjoy the feast.  And, I had seconds on the whipped cream part of the dessert.  Yum!  The a.m. and the p.m. kindergarten classes celebrated together, so we had 60 kindergartners at our 'table'  ... Mommy was amazed to see that everyone was being polite and following directions.  It was way more civilized than a meal with our family of 4!  ;)

Smart Little School Boy!! :)

I don't know who was prouder... my parents, or me!  :)

Lovin' being on stage and hearing all of the applause!

My award comes with a free kids' meal at On the Border!  Sweet!!!

Mommy and Daddy are SO proud!  I was honored at an awards assembly at my school for being an amazing reader... and for mastering my kindergarten and first grade sight words!  :)  I love every minute of being onstage!!!  I loved the celebration afterward, too!  I picked out two boxes of new Christmas lights as my prize!  I'm learning that it pays off to do well in school!  (Mommy and Daddy hope that this lasts a few years...)  :)

Happy 2nd Birthday, Autumn Faith! :)

Party animals!

Strategizing with the birthday girl!

I liked the blower that made noise... Mommy preferred this one!

Fun in the bouncer!

Little jumpers!

I love to be airborne!

Taking a bouncer rest...

Whatchu talkin' bout?

Playing pin the bow on Minnie Mouse...

She loved the double white chocolate cupcakes!

We had such fun at celebrating Autumn Faith's 2nd birthday!  She had a super cute Minnie Mouse themed party with all of our favorites ... games, bouncers, yummy food, delicious cupcakes, balloons, and friends!!  Danni and I wore ourselves out in the bouncer.  We had fun playing with Autumn (and I especially wanted to help her put all of her new toys together!)  Happy Birthday, Autumn!  We look forward to lots of adventures this year!!

The End of Soccer Season

Tristan is one of my best buds...  I'm really not trying to strangle him!

Always smiling!

My favorite part of the game... the end... when the parents make a bridge for us to run beneath!

Breakfast with my team to celebrate our great season!

Everything tastes better with friends!

Trophy time with Coach Daniel!

So proud of my very first trophy!

Team pic!

Happy soccer player boy!

Silly trophy heads!

Tristan and I tried to get our sisters to take a pic with us...  this is the best we got!

Is it over already!!  Hard to believe that my first season of 'real' soccer is over!!  I learned so much this season and am looking forward to playing again in the Spring!!  We'll miss our sweet little team!  There were only 6 boys on it, so we all got to know each other pretty well and practices could get pretty silly!!  :)  Hopefully, we'll see each other again in a few months!!

Happy Halloween!!

I made an angry pumpkin!

She was disgusted by the pumpkin slime!

Our fearsome threesome!

Gracie and me!

We found a hungry duck at our Trunk-or-Treat event!

Danni found some pretty pink flowers!

I stuck glow sticks in my pumpkin!

Danni and her pumpkin!  (It looks like she has a glow stick crown!)

Danni lover her new glow earrings!  

So did I!

We made the rounds and collected TONS of candy!

I especially liked getting candy from pretty girls!

My FAVORITE part of the night was handing candy out to the trick-or-treaters!

I love to make people happy!

For Halloween night, we decorated Daddy's truck with our pumpkins and took part in our church's Trunk-or-Treat event.  It was pretty cool ... they had about 50 cars, all decked out for Halloween, parked in a field.  The kids got to go from car to car to collect candy.  I got more candy than Mommy will ever let me eat!!  My favorite part of the night was getting to GIVE candy out!  Over 5000 trick-or-treaters came through, so I was a VERY busy candy-hander-outer!!  :)

Happy Birthday, Mommy!

The brithday gir's favorite best boy!

Mommy's side of the fam-bam!

Better than presents and cake....  :)

For Mommy's brithday, we met Mama Vee, Uncle Paul and Aunt Kelly for a delicious dinner at Wood Ranch!  Danni and I were on our best behavior, which was a wonderful birthday treat for Mommy!  After dinner we ate some deeee-lcious cake ... Mommy even shared one of the frosting roses with me!!  She ahd a wonderful brithday!

Drive-in Fun!!

Lovin' on Autumn baby!

Who enjoyed this more, the ticklers or the ticklee??

Some pre-movie cuddling!

Diggin' in to the sweet (and adorable) treats that Miss Jennifer made!

Mesmerized!

The movie was hair-raising!  ;)

We went to the drive-in as part of Mommy's birthday weekend celebration!  Our friends joined us to watch Hotel Translyvania and to chow down on all sorts of yummy treats!!  Autumn and I had more fun messing around in Daddy's truck than watching the movie!!  :)
