First Day of School

First day of school!!! Austin started school Wednesday at Isle of Wight Academy...This is a big change for him academically, but we know he will do great. Hallelujah for only 16 kids in his class and a required cursive curriculum, in fact everything he writes has to be in cursive!!! :)

Childrens Museum Visit

I took Rea to the Childrens Museum on Wednesday to keep my mind of Austin starting school that day. I think Michael and I were more nervous than he was...Rea enjoyed the mommy and me day!

First Weekend Playing Select

Austin has been working hard all summer getting ready for the start of travel soccer. The season has not started yet but they had a tournament last weekend playing two games on Saturday. First Game Austin was in goal the whole game, and did awesome. He blocked every shot besides one and trust me the team was kicking them at him, we won 7 to 1!! Second game coach took him out of the goal and he scored 3 shots. we won the second game 11 to 1. This weekend we have another tournament in Yorktown sat and sun for a total of 4 games. Austin has learned a ton this summer and grown as a player, we look forward to seeing what this team can do!

Austin's 9th Birthday Party

 We did Lego theme this year and I think I had the most fun with this one than any other. 

 Lego Cupcakes

 I made all 13 gifts bags...thats 78 little circle cut and adhered to the party bags.

 This was a dart game. I had some neighborhood kids come over and stuff balloons with prizes then we blew them all up and strung them on the fence so kids could pop them with darts, a lot like at the carnival. 

 Silly string wars...

 Happy Birthday Peanut.

we even decorated the TV with the Lego Movie Logo. and filled mason jars with Legos. And in the picture below I filled my candle holder with legos instead of candles!
