At the end of September, Zach participated in the yearly jog-a-thon at school. This year he ran 13 laps during the time alotted. It was fun listening to Avery cheer him on and yell, " Yeah Zach...Good Job Zach" everytime he passed by.
No pictures of Zach's birthday this year. I couldn't find my camera when it was time. (I hate it how you remember where it is after the fact...in my bike pack from our ride 2 days before the party) We had a great party at the house with a bunch of kids from the neighborhood. They played games and did the whole cake and ice cream thing. I even made a cake/cupcake tower. Overall it was a good turnout and most importantly I think that Zach had fun! He even won when we played musical chairs. I can't believe he is 8! Wow!
I love these two pictures because that beautiful smile of Avery's that you see is so her! Real and genuine like we said we were going to get her and she is laughing because she is about to be tickled! Then, anytime I get to have a picture with my kids is reason enough to put it on the blog!
It seems that all the girls Avery's age have a thing about dressing up. We went to a birthday party today and the older girls were dressing hte younger ones up in all sorts of princess outfits and other costumes. this one was my favorite by far!
