Then I got some cute pictures! :)

First Day of School

Stephen and I walked Avery to school on her first day of first grade. She was a little bit nervous, but not overly. She started pouting because I wanted to take video and photos of her, but I told her one day she would appreciate it and if she wanted to pout during them, she could:

Meet the Teacher - 1st Grade

Stephen and I took Avery to her meet the teacher at Donald Elementary for 1st Grade. Avery has Ms. Thompson. She seemed like a wonderful teacher. Avery will share a locker with Jaycee this year and attend ESD (Extended School Day) at the school after class.

Birthday Party

I was so proud of Avery. Recently, we went to a birthday party for a little friend of hers - Connor. Well, at the party, Avery was last in line for the little go kart races. It ended up that all the kids made it on the ride, but Avery. She got to go the second time around. I was so very, very proud of the way she acted. She did not cry. She did not act ugly. She acted perfect. It was one of those moments in life where you are so immensely proud - I wanted to cry and I did tear up. I am very blessed to have her!

Baby Lauren

First time fishing!

We went to Tulsa this past weekend and went fishing in a little pond. Avery caught two perch with her little Barbie fishing pole. It was precious. Stacy, TJ, Jerry, Stephen and I were there with her.

Lost a tooth

In the past two months, Avery has lost her two bottom front teeth. Stephen showed her how to wiggle them to get them to come out. She really did well getting them out. She wrote a note to the tooth fairy asking if she could keep her tooth. The tooth fairy let her and gave her a $2 bill. The second time she wrote a note asking what if the tooth fairy was a boy or girl. Avery was told that all tooth fairies are girls.
