My Nick turned 11 this year.

I can't believe that I am old enough to have an 11 year old!!!

Nick's birthday was pretty chill, but according to him it was the best birthday EVER. 

Nick is such a good boy. He woke up and just started doing his chores. We had Nick's favorite, chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast. Aubrey and I brought Pizza Hut and had lunch with Nick.

Nick had baseball practice so we brought Winchell's  donuts for his team and then went to eat at Raising Cane's with all of our family. We got Nick an iPod and he got lots of iTunes gift cards. Man this boy is spoiled AND LOVED!!

Happy 11th Birthday Nicky!!! 

Aubrey's 2nd day of school was make up picture day so she gets be in the yearbook.

This is her "I am not going to smile and you aren't going to make me" face!

Primary Party

This last Saturday we had our 2nd annual  Christmas party for all of our primary teachers and leaders.

We had a roast dinner with yummy sides and a super cute hot chocolate bar/ dessert table that Amber did.

Laura made a cute video of all the kids thanking their teachers and leaders. We played some games and had a great time. Already thinking about next year. I am glad to be able to serve with so many great people!

Aubrey Ann

 11.18.13

Aubrey's first day of school was a success. Minimal crying from the both of us.

Ms. Humm & Ms. Lee are her teachers. She likes Ms. Lee better :)

She packs a lunch box with a juice and snack everyday. 

She is already improving so much in all areas. 

Although I was unsure of what to do with myself each morning all by my lonesome...

the time flies by quickly and I seem to be as busy as ever! 

Just some randoms about Aubs...

She is getting so big, and SO old!! She LOVES "lips". And has to do it herself! 

Aubrey is loving dance and school. And LOVES writing and coloring.

She is very social and each night before bed she asks for someone to come play. Kaylin, Lucy, and Natalie are a few of her favorites.

and She still loves to be sung "Twinkle, Twinkle" at night. 

First Place

We spent Veteran's weekend at the baseball field while the Rascal's played in a tournament. The boys played 7 games over the 3 days and ended up winning 1st Place!!!

The boys worked hard and earned that trophy! 

Way to go RASCALS!!!

Dancer of the Month

At the end of October I received an email from Chloe's dance studio.

"CONGRATULATIONS Chloe Lichty for being The  Innovation Dance Star Of The Month! Chloe works hard and demonstrates great team leadership skills!"

 

Chloe was beyond excited and I was so proud of my girl!
