family night out

Some of Daddy's family (our Great Aunt Cookie & cousins, Adam, Sara, Kaden, Cameron, Carson, & Kali) came to visit us from Ohio a few weeks ago. We had a fun time hanging out with them, and we are so glad that they came to visit. One night, we all went out to "Big Fire." Afterwards, we headed over to Dairy Queen for a yummy treat. While walking in, we noticed a fire truck parked close by. As we were looking at it, the firemen came out to their truck. So, we asked them if we could look inside. They kindly said yes, so we explored inside the fire truck and had a fun time!

Thank you, Huntersville Firemen...we had fun!

Then, we all got to enjoy some ice cream. Brecken go to hold his own ice cream for the first time...

He thoroughly enjoyed it!

Yummy!

Fun family night out!!

life is good

A few hours after Mommy took our last picture of the 3 of us, I (Averie) lost my top tooth (3rd tooth). So, of course, Mommy had to take a few more "updated" pics of us. So, here we are...the 3 of us...the next morning...only things that are different are the outfits, the couch we are sitting on, and the fact that I am missing another tooth :)

little gym...averie

We love being involved in fun activities. This past school year, I chose to be a part of gymnastics at the Little Gym. Of course, I loved it even more when I got to be in gymnastics class with my BFF and cousin, Stephanie. We had a fun "season," and we learned a lot. On the last day of class, we had a "program" for our family to attend, and I had lots of fun! I love gymnastics!

Stephanie & me...ready to head to class!

little gym...brady

During the school year, we get to pick a "sport" that we'd like to participate in. This year, I (Brady) got to do sports camp at Little Gym. Each week for an hour, I'd learn different sports, the basic rules, and how to play them. I learned about hockey, football, basketball, baseball, soccer, and golf. It was a lot of fun! On the last day of the "season," we got to invite our parents to watch our "program." Our program was just showing our parents some basic skills we learned from a few of the sports we talked about. And, even though I had just gotten my stitches, I wanted to participate...and I acted like I didn't even have them :)

Here I am...ready to go on the high bar!
