Zack's New Helmet

Zack has a flat spot on the back of his head, and so for the next 12 weeks or so he will be sporting this new helmet. It's actully kind of cute I think (probably just the kid :), but he has done really well so far. And if you happen to just stop by the house on any random day you might find Ava looking something like this...In a dress or "spinny" skirt, with this most fabulous crown (my headband), and wearing her high heels (or mine) she is ALL girl and it is so fun!

EleVeN!!

Doesn't she just look older in this picture?! Happy Birthday you are such a beautiful girl on the inside and out! As the girls get older, the breakfast requests are getting even tastier...we have pigs in a blanket with cream cheese bread Mmmm.

Here are my oh so crafty cupcakes. Lee and I went and looked at a few craft stores for anything that had to do with roller skating, but they have not yet hit the roller revolution because we found nothing not ever stickers, but luckily I think the party hats turned out just as cute.

Georgia decided to have a roller skating party. It was definitely one of the family favorites. All the kids skated their little hearts out, ate pizza, drank soda, and played games while I got to sit back, visit with my friends and watch the kids have fun.

The DJ had all the girls come up and request a song and then do a "shout out" of HAppy Birthday to Georgia. So cool!

We took pictures of the skating but unfortunately the crazy lights in the rink blurred out all the pictures this was one of the better ones.

And if you are going to throw a roller skating party too, glow stick necklaces and bracelets are a must for the party favors!

Happy Birthday Georgia you are such a wonderful happy daughter and a great big sister we love you!!

LeeAnn's Pinning

Yaya!! LeeAnn has completed nursing school and with honors! Mom and Dad came out for her pinning and we all celebrated! Way to go Lee we are so proud of you; you are an example to all of us!

This picture says it all!

While Mom and Dad were visitng, we took a fun trip to the lake. Georgia mastered the wake on skiis!

I bought a bunch of peaches while they were on sale so Mom and Ava went to work and made the most delicious peach jam!! We have been eating it right out of the jar it is soo good.

The girls have so much fun riding with LeeAnn, they were dancing in her sunroof.

Preschool here She comes!

I am constantly asking her to stop growing on me, but she refuses...

1st Day of School

The first day of school! (Sorry the pictures are sideways they came from the phone camera and I couldn't figure out how to rotate them). Georgia started 5th grade this year and Macie started 3rd. This is their first year wearing uniforms and it has only been a week of school and I LOVE it! (they won't admit it but I think they do too). They stared at a new school this year, and so far it has been a smooth transition.

The Footes visit

One thing LeeAnn and I love the most is visitors! And lucky for us our brother Gordon brought his whole family to visit. We had such a great time! We went to Sedona the first day and played so hard we completely wore ourselves out. We did some hiking, a picinic, shopping, Slide Rock and cliff jumping. The bumm train

The belly trainAva and EllieAva's bumm train - this was the first year Ava really got in the water and she loved it!

Me and Zack chillin on the rocksThen we made our way to the cliff. I really wanted to avoid the cliff. It looks much too dangerous but we have a few dare devils in the group who just couldn't pass it up. At first I think they wondered if they shoul really jump

But then Jamie ran and jumped off first and everyone else had to followMaddie TannerGeorgia and AnnaThe next big adventure was the lake. We left the babies at home and everyone got plenty of ski, wakeboard, and tub time. It was so much fun! Gordon
