I Scream, You Scream

Allie dressed up as her favorite food...ice cream!  I was thrilled when Ayden decided he would be the ice cream man to Allie ice cream cone.  These two were adorable in their homemade costumes.  

  

Pumpkin Picking

A chilly, but fun day pumpkin picking.  Nana joined in on the pumpkin picking adventure...too bad Daddy wasn't feeling so well.  Cider and warm doughnuts made a wonderful breakfast early this morning before we headed out on the hayride to the patch. The littles picked out their very own pint size pumpkin and we took home one big pumpkin.  Fall is here and we are officially ready!

Fun Runs

Our little athletes crushed their fun runs.  Allie was the top girl runner in her class with 23 laps!  She earned herself a pizza party with the principal.  Ayden ran the whole entire time.  Way to go!

Home Run

Sunday Funday at the Tiger's game It's Girl Scout day and these lovely ladies were the first scouts to walk the field before the game.  We watched the Detroit boys play while we enjoyed nachos hotdogs, and cotton candy.

Apple Picking

Ayden is SIX

Ayden is sweet, loving. loud and curious.  He loves flying airplanes and driving cars, building with Lego's and Magnatiles, and playing Minecraft.  Ayden loves to eat frozen Gogurts, veggie straws, and hotdogs.  Staying at home and playing with his toys is what he loves most.  Ayden is a ninja and continues to play tennis.  He likes to play baseball in the backyard and riding his bike on adventures around town.  Ayden loves penguins and chickens, but is scared of bugs.  He's great at organizing and cleaning.  Ayden is learning how to read and likes to do homework.

Ayden celebrated his 6th birthday in the backyard with all his buddies.  They had a smashing good time jumping in his monster truck bounce house and smashing open the Grave Digger piñata.
On the day of his birth, six years later, Ayden awoke to the family's elves...who left a little surprise for him.  Ayden picked Samurai for his birthday dinner and Dairy Queen for dessert.  He loved all his Monster Truck birthday gifts and his new Minecraft game...of course!

Back to School

Here we go again!  Allie is entering third grade at her brand new school , Scotch Elementary.  She has two fabulous teachers this year, Mrs. Donovon and Mrs. MacColl.  She will ride the bus from Gretchko everyday too.  Ayden is in "real" kindergarten this year in Mrs. Wild's class.  He was so excited to hear Mrs. Wild would be his teacher this year.  This will be my 18th year teaching elementary kiddos.  I'll be teaching second grade again at Gretchko this school year.
