Skip-Bo!

While Munner was in for Andrew's procedure, we had to get a few games of Skip-Bo in! :)  Munner had been working with Andrew on his numbers by "playing" Skip-Bo with him as well.  The game is a little different but we enjoyed several games together over the next couple days as a family.  Nothing like keeping up tradition! :)

Chick Fil A!

On our Wednesday together, we took Munner to Chick-Fil-A to see Uncle Jeff and for the kids to play.  Below are some pictures of Alyssa.  The first was of her getting scolded by her Daddy for spitting water again. 

I am not sure what Alyssa was raising her hand for, but we thought it looked as though she were answering to "Who loves Chick-Fil-A??" :)  Our family does - that is for sure!!!

Andrew's 3rd Set of Tubes

March 5, 2012

 Andrew had his 3rd set of tubes and also had his nose cauterized inside to help prevent him from having so many nosebleeds.  He did great through the procedure but didn't like the anesthesia.  It made him nauseous (again) and he didn't like the "loopy" feeling by any means.  But he did fabulous and enjoyed the popscicles.   Munner kept Alyssa at the house so David & I could be there with him.  We brought him home where he enjoyed some TLC and movie time with Mommy :)  We are so thankful that the cauterization has helped tremendously and has prevented nosebleeds thus far!

First Annual Father-Daughter Date @ FBCWoodway

Our church held it's First Annual Father-Daughter Date Night on 2/24/12.  It was such a precious event to hold and we look forward to it becoming an annual event!  Here are a few pictures of them getting ready to go:

I think Alyssa was checking to make sure her bear's bowtie was on straight ;o)

The handsome couple!

Of course, Andrew wanted a few pictures taken with them in his new Spiderman shirt and new Bumblebee Transformer toy:

In her new faux fur trimmed cloak/coat :)

Mommy's weren't allowed to the event, so Andrew & I had our own date to Outback Steakhouse.  Here are pictures that David took.  Below is a picture of the horsedrawn carriage they were waiting on:

She is EXCITED about the horsey!!!

It was a bit chilly!!



Alyssa playing around on the steps at church:

Below are professional pictures from the event:

David & Alyssa had a great time hanging out and even making a sweet jewelry box together.  What a great event and what wonderful memories! :)

2-23-12: The Party Continues!

So the Party Continues!  Thursday morning, everyone woke up and got moving around.  I headed to work and Melinda took Ava, Kaitlyn & Andrew to the zoo and museum.  Alyssa headed to daycare as 4 kids would have been a bit much and exceeded Melinda's carseat limit! :)  Here the girls were playing before Alyssa headed to her class...

Later that evening, we all headed over to Chuck E Cheese for a whirlwind of a birthday party.   Andrew had been asking for a birthday party there for almost a year and much to my chagrin, I gave in to our birthday boys wishes! :)  There were about 20 friends + a few siblings that came.  It was BUSY but soooo much fun!!!

Aunt Melinda keeping Ava entertained...

Andrew, Jacob, Selah, Kaitlyn, Avery and a few other friends...

I tried to snap a picture of Miriam and Andrew together.  Miriam is Andrew's girlfriend from daycare but she moved to another school and now they are going through the typical 5 year old boy/girl stage :)

The Birthday King!

He told me he was "tucking his ears in" ... LOL! :)

Toward the end, Andrew & I got into the Ticket Blaster together.  It was so much fun and we racked up on lots of tickets!! What a crazy, fun & busy night!
