Family Pictures





We had some pictures taken for the church directory...we got some cute pictures but I'm not thrilled with the ones of Avery and Andon so we are off to get their way-to-late 4 year pictures tomorrow...I'll post them as soon as I get them!

Halloween and Yet another cyclists

~As promised here's a pictures of all 5 cousins, AKA, the Wiz Kids, at Halloween...


~Well, we knew it wouldn't be long but a few days after, Avery became a non-training wheel cyclist! She is getting so much more confident now!

Another cyclist in the house...

Timeline...

October 30- We head to Chicago for Halloween and Andon is in awe of his cousin Nathan's ability to ride his bike without training wheels...too bad Andon has ZERO balance on his bike with training wheels.

November 4- Mark takes Andon and Avery's training wheels and pedals off so they can use their feet to learn how to balance. They head down to the greenbelt by our house and get some momentum going down the hills.

November 7- We head outside and start rolling down the driveway without pedals or training wheels. They do great!

November 8- We head over to the greenbelt, put the pedals back on and help them down the hill...the kids both need help as they start to go down the hill and then are able to balance on their own on the flats. On the way home, ANDON STARTS RIDING ALL ON HIS OWN! Avery still weeble-wobbles and is about 85% there! Unbelieveable! Grandma and Grandpas watch out...he can't wait to show you so be ready!!!!

I started to lose it ....he doesn't need me anymore for one more thing...balling my eyes out for about 10 minutes. I'm better now and realize that this will be happening more and more now! I love these kiddos!!!! They grow us so fast!

Halloween...Trunk or Treating
















Well, our Dorothy and Green Lollipop Munchkin had a lot of fun Trunk or Treating at preschool last Wednesday. They had a little program for us and then we dressed them in our costume and went to each of the parents' trunks and the kids had a blast! Out of 5 girls, there were 3 Dorothys!!! As soon as Andon made it out to the driveway he dropped his lollipop....go figure! So it shattered into a thousand pieces (luckily in saran wrap) and Mark made him a paper one that he refused to carry on Halloween night...so everyone thought he was the screcrow! Yes, we did manage to get to Chicago for Halloween night but Michele has all the photos on her camera since we left ours at home! As soon as I get them I'll post them :) ENJOY!
