Let's Catch Up!

Where do I start? My sweet Austin is 5 years old and in Kindergarten at FPC Growing Tree. My beautiful Ava is 3 years old she also attends the Growing Tree in the preschool program. Austin enjoys sports, swimming, playing with friends and family. He has several hobbies: T-ball, golf, basketball and football. Austin is currently playing football with his close buddy, Hayden. At his first game, Austin scored his first touchdown. Wahoooo! I am a proud mama for sure- I have it on video. I love that he likes to do the Tebow move when he scores. He is taking Karate and loves it. He sparred for the first time last week. I thought my heart was going to beat out of my chest. I prayed more than a handful of times for him not to get embarrassed if someone hit him or knocked him down. God had Austin in His hands and my heart too. He was aggressive and brave. I was so proud of him. Austin is active in gymnastics with his buddy, Steele. He enjoys working out with his friends and coach Brody. For Halloween, Austin is going to be a Red Power Ranger. He also likes Superheroes, Power Rangers and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Austin loves his cousins Cameron and Caden. He enjoys spending every second with them when they are together. Austin is very spoiled by his girl cousins: Jennifer, Jessica, Mattie and Emily. They will do anything almost anything for him. We are thankful for our kind and loving boy. Ava is full of love and smiles. She is outgoing, girly girl, sweet and laughs all the time. She is in 3K and LOVES her teacher, Ms. Kenny. They do some of the neatest in her class. Ava likes to play dress-up, babies, and crafts. She likes to be in charge and the boss of everyone. If you will let her boss you around she's your friend, but if not, don't except her to be friendly. Every morning before school she has to do her own hair, pick out a necklace with a matching bracelet, and lip gloss. Her favorite color is PINK. Yes, she loves Pinkalicious and sometimes I think she is Pinkalicious. Ava enjoys putting puzzles together, coloring, writing her name and dancing. She just learned how to ride her bike without me pushing her in the cul-de-sac. She likes to ride her scooter when Austin rides his. Ava enjoys riding our golf cart around the neighborhood insisting on playing our music as loud as it will go. She loves to swing at school and at the park. She never meets a stranger. I love Ava's competitive side too. She's my fighter that will never give up. She also takes gymnastics and is pretty good at it. Also, from watching Austin in Karate twice a week, she has learned some fighting moves that she is not afraid to use. She is a Daddy's girl and has her Papa Lee and Papa Tommy wrapped around her finger. Austin and Ava melt my heart by their thoughtfulness, kindness and love for one another. Ava loves her big brother just as much as Austin loves her. She and I are his #1 fan at everything he does. She likes to encourage and cheer for him. Austin is protective of his little sister and makes sure she is always doing what she is supposed to be doing. Ty and I have been blessed with all of our many blessings. This has been fun, I hope to keep you all informed on our family regularly. Until next time my friends…
