Family Bowling Night

Over the break we took the girls bowling. It was hilarious and they loved it.  Ava was everyone's little cheerleader and Brynn was a natural.  Great time for all!  Brynn says her favorite part was throwing the balls and winning.

I love this picture of doodlebug

Santa's Wonderland

We had a great little trip with our good friends the Rohrer's to Santa's Wonderland over Thanksgiving.  

This was after she calmed down from being burned by her first sip of hot chocolate.  Just as she wS leaning in for her first sip little Liliana danced by and bumped Brynn's cup so it spilled all down the front of her.  She finished it but said next time we go, we are not buying hot cocoa!

Look at all those beautiful Texas Girls

Liliana just loves Ava!

Ava's fun run

Friends and Family,

Ava Hendrickson is running in the Warner Elementary School Fun Run! Ava is excited to learn more about fitness, leadership, and character and then run 30 - 35 laps at the fun run.
Will you please pledge Ava Hendrickson to help raise needed funds for Warner Elementary School?

Ava asks every day how much money she has because they acknowledge the students at school who have new donations.  If you can spare even $1 she would be so grateful!  Her fun run is this Thursday and I am going up to support her.  If any of you want to join me to cheer her on, let me know!  

Ava's Halloween story

Ava's favorite part of her school day is writing time.  She loves to write stories at home too: 

Translation:  Halloween is very fun.  Everyone loves it.  I do too.  Everybody gets candy.  Candy is sweet and bad for you, it's bad for your body.  You can get sick if you eat too much candy, but you still get to have fun.  Everyone gets to say "trick or treat" it is very fun.  Some people don't give out candy, they give out toys instead of candy!

She makes me so proud :)

Star Student

Ava is doing remarkably well in 1st grade!  We love her teacher this year too. She seems much more attentive and Ava is learning so much.  They are having tests and quizzes weekly, and so far Ava has made 100% on all of them!  They grade them on accuracy and handwriting.  She consistently gets 100 for her answers and an E for excellent on her handwriting!  I'm so very proud of her!!!  She's currently testing on spelling and math. So far she's had 2 spelling tests and one math quiz all 100%!  Wish her luck this week on her spelling test.  She has it on Thursday.

Here is a sample of her work:

Today's dress

I'm not kidding.  EVERY.SINGLE.DAY!  She only wants "ballerina dresses" and sparkly shoes.  Ballerina dresses being a dress with any skirt that "spins".  

Ballerina dress and a bun on her head :). She's too cute!!!

We are at the pediatrician for the girls regular check ups.

             Fridays ballerina top

Dress up when they should be in bed.  This is her new pose now when she sees a camera.

1st day of 1st grade & Preschool

OSummer flew by and I can't believe my babies are already in 1st grade and Preschool!  We love Ava's new teacher, she is super sweet and kind.  Brynn isn't that excited about being in the charismatic cows class, she misses the bubbly blue birds, but she is slowly starting to like it and luckily all of her friends moved with her.  Her teacher told me that Brynn is really smart and already knows her letters and letter sounds.  They were impressed :). She also told me that Brynn is always very good and well behaved in class.

Her morning routine is yogurt upon arrival

Her first time riding the bus to school.  She rides the bus once a week.  She loves the bus.
