Austin's 8th Birthday

On November 13, 2010..Austin turned 8 this year!
He enjoyed a singing telegram by the Bensons, skyped with Daddy and got a Utes shirt from him.
At school on his birthday (Friday the 13th this year....ooooh) did he want me to bring him a Happy Meal? No. PIzza? No. What the birthday boy wanted was his favorite food...SUSHI!! So off to Wegmans sushi hut I went. We both enjoyed our tasty raw delicasy together!
At football, we surpripsed him with a football cake and the team singing to the Birthday boy!

That night, we celebrated at home with his best buds Cameron, Dylan, Evan and of course Ashley. In fact the prize to one of the games was when Ashley came down in a white (wedding dress) and said the winner can marry her. Then there was an awkward silence....
Pizza, Cake, Games....the party ended with an awesome dance off and goodie bags!

Happy 8th Birthday buddy!!

CHAMPIONSHIP

Austin made it to the Championship game! As Defensive Lineman--anklebiter football--WAY TO GO GRIZZLIES!!! Grandma was even cheering on the team from the sideline!

Mid November

The weather is getting cooler, football season is coming to an end..the leaves are in full color. I love the fall in VA!!

Cowpoke

Preschool had their annual Harvest Hoedown! Lassoing, and rode a real horse. So sad this is our last hoedown at HBCP.
