Bedtime

Apparently we have a new bedtime ritual around here. Rachel insists on tucking Aaron in. :)

Just like her daddy!

No photo for you today. I spent the better part of today editing photos, but I'm now caught up! So here's something funny for you. As you might already know, Dusty is VERY analytical and tedious. :) A lot of times after he's gone to bed, he will get up again to write himself a note for the next day. This happens all the time. Tonight after Rachel had gone to bed I went in to check on her. I found her sitting by her nightlight. When I asked her why she wasn't in bed, she said that she had to write something. There she was scribbling away on an index card. When I asked what she was writing, she said, "Something I want for my birthday." My response - Go to Bed! Which is pretty much the same response I give Dusty. :) Aaargh!!! They're going to be the death of me! :)

Time to play...

...what is Paul thinking.

1. It's early! I wish I would have got the Venti mocha at Starbucks.
2. Why did I wear the same shirt as Jim today!
3. How did I let Heidi and Sarah talk me into playing for a WMU event

(For my non-Southern Baptist readers; WMU stands for Women's Missionary Union)

:) Thanks Paul!

Party Day

Today we officially partied for Aaron's 11th Birthday. He had 4 friends over in addition to all his grandparents, Uncle Joel, Aunt Sarah, Makenna, Aunt Becky, David & Madelyn. Full House!

Notice anything about this little group of friends? Yep...Abbey is the only girl. She was a good sport about it. Even when the boys all grouped together with their skateboards and this was the result.

So she helped the little kids to have some fun of their own.

Then there was Memaw who was also going to make her own fun.

Rachel and Makenna had fun playing together including a rousing game of Peek-a-Boo. However the quote of the day came from little David. After he had fallen off of the ottoman Becky was asking him if he was OK. His reply, "Uggh...I got hit by the floor!" :)

This is me and my beloved after the festivities. Zzzzzzzzzz

Night out

Dusty and I attended the Celebration banquet for the 50th Anniversary of the State Convention of Baptists in Indiana tonight. (Say that 5 times fast!) A fun evening out with Paul & Heather and Jim & Sarah. Let's just say that the older couple at our table was probably wondering how they had the misfortune of getting placed with us.

Mr. & Mrs. PEC

I believe Jim's trying to covertly update his Facebook status here. Sorry Sarah, I don't have a pic of you. Well actually I did have one on my camera, but if I included it you would probably hunt me down and kill me.

Dessert! You know how PEC likes to take food shots.

More Birthday Fun

Since Aaron had a half day of school I treated him to a trip to the skate park in Danville. I also took some photos. No boring school photos here! :) We finished off the evening with cupcakes.

My wild hair girl!

Happy 11th Birthday Aaron

My first born turns 11 today. He even gets out of school early today. (Not for his birthday; there's some teacher enrichment thingy) We'll have a party this weekend. Happy Birthday Aaron! Here he is being cool. :)
