Big Girls Don't CRY!!!

But mom sure does... Yes I teared up this morning when I dropped Avery off for her very First day of middle school. Avery on the other hand was so excited and did not seem to be one bit nervous Thankfully!! I really do think this is going to be a great year we LOVE the school and Avery is really a good girl and I think she will do really well as long as she does not come home with the " I know it all attitude" Ha !!

I did have to sneak this picture when I let her out this morning...because in middle school you don't get to get out and take pictures in front of the school. Now this is not a school rule this was Avery's rule!!!

A fun day at the water park... and the Panthers Preseason game!!!

A sweet coworker of Brian's gave us FREE tickets to Wet n Wild water park up in Greensboro... So we packed up early Sat. morning and headed to Greensboro and oh did the children have a blast!!!!

Seth loving the swing at the water park...I know that lady in the background would have really appreciated it if I would have cropped her backside out. SORRY limited time this morning: )

All "three" children going down the slide : )

Seth refused to look at the camera he was more interested in what that little boy was doing. I think Seth knew when you get to the bottom you have to get up. They are so smart!

***Are you ready for some Football??

OK tonight starts the Panthers preseason!!!!!!!! So how many of you will be wearing your panther pride and camped out by your TV tonight eating some not so healthy food??? We WILL!!

11 months old today....

I think this has happened before already....My mommy almost forgot that I turned 11 months old today. I sure hope she does not forget my birthday next month. I think she just has a lot on her mind these days because I do keep her very busy. See I'm learning to walk right now and I have in the last week or two managed to get into a lot of things I should have not including taking off a dirty diaper and pretending it was lotion for my arms and legs. Yea my mommy was not to happy with that. I'm saying lots of new words, playing patty cake, and waving bye-bye and I have a mouth full of teeth: ) My mommy says I'm growing up way too fast and even though I keep her very busy she says I'm still the most sweetest boy in the whole wide world and she thanks GOD for me everyday!!
