11 Years....

11 years ago, I was going into labor with our second child, Avery! We were going through a very difficult time in our life and he came just at the right time bringing us so much love and joy!

When everyone meets Avery, they think he is this quiet, innocent little guy....well, he has everyone fooled! Ha!!! He is our "sneaky" child!! :o) He is so full of life and loves to laugh! He laughs at everything!!!! He even laughs when he is in trouble! :o)

It is so hard to believe that he is now 11 years old and not my "little" boy anymore! Where does the time go?

Avery wanted to go to the paintball field again this year, but this time Daddy was not allowed to play....Remember last years accident?! We were not taking any chances! Ha! Luckily, everyone had a great time and no one was injured!

I wanted to get some good shots of Avery in action, but in order for me to do that, I would have been in the line of fire with my camera and I was NOT taking any chances!!!! So all I got was this snapshot of Avery headed back into the woods after lunch!

We met my MIL & FIL for dinner Saturday night at Soul Shine Pizza to finish off the birthday celebration. I made Avery a "paint ball splatter" cake and took it up there with us. I think this is my favorite cake yet! I had so much fun doing it and Avery really liked it! Getting ready to blow out the candles.He racked up on money this year!!! What kid does NOT like money??? I have not met one yet! We went shopping after the birthday dinner and he bought him two pairs of shoes! :o) Happy Birthday AJ!!!!!

We love you SOOOO much!!! -
