It's a hard life!

I took this picture of Ava sleeping with a Dorito hanging out of her mouth. It's a hard life!!

Under the Big Top

On Sept 12 we took the girls to the big top circus. They were a little aprehensive at first but they really enjoyed the show. This elephant was 38 years old! Wow! That's older than both Billy & I! Those elephants have such expressive eyes. We also saw ladies that hung by their hair "Ouch", camels, horses and a human cannonball! It was an interesting show?!

Gracie's first game

Gracie cheered for the first Glenvar Bulldogs game last Wednesday. She looked so cute and she had so much fun. As you can see, Ava can't wait until next year when she can cheer. (Honestly, she rather play football).

Our baby is a Kindergartener

Our baby All grown up

Well it's official. Our baby is a Kindergartner. She hopped on the bus early this morning along with John, Abby & Emilee (our neighbors). She was so excited to go. She didn't seem a bit nervous. She loves to learn so I know she will do fine. Ava slept through the whole ordeal. It's hard to believe she is this big!! Billy & I pray that God will use her in the lives of everyone she comes in contact with at school!!

Happy 65th Paw Paw

Today was my dad's 65th birthday. We celebrated at my sister's house. The kids swam and played with her dog Dutch. Dutch is an old english mastiff. He is 9 months old and already weighs over 100 lbs. He is a big baby!!

GO HOKIES!!

On Saturday the Hokies had a scrimage that was open to the public so the family took a trip to Blacksburg for the day. Ava and Gracie had fun seeing Lane Stadium and the athletic center. We sat on the 50 yd line right behind the players and Ava tried her best to get Tyrod Taylor's attention. For those of you who don't know, Ava is a BIG Hokie fan. When we left she started to cry and said " I didn't even get to talk to Tyrod." We are all syked that football season is just a couple of weeks away. Between watching my nephew Tyler play @ North Cross and the Hokies, football season is one of our favorite times of the year.

Thanks

We just want to thank everyone who took the time to pray for us last week while I was in the hospital. Thanks also for the cards, visits, phone calls and meals. We are so blessed to have a loving church family. Both of our immediate families were also alot of help. I am feeling much better now and hope to get some answers from Dr. Taylor on Tuesday. Last week was a good time to reflect on the many blessings that we have been undeservingly given and to remember that God will be glorified in ALL things!
