Summer wrap-up

 In August we didn't really have any trips or events where we took a lot of pictures, but we did have quite a few small things and just some fun, everyday kinds of pictures that I wanted to post.

Scott and I went to Eddie V's off 7th street in Fort Worth to celebrate our anniversary.  The seafood was great and the dessert was even more amazing.  We had Eddie V's famous bananas foster with butter cake and pralines and cream ice cream. SO good!  Unfortunately the flames didn't show up in the picture :(

The girls helped me make this chocolate sheet cake (the Pioneer Woman's recipe) to celebrate my spiritual birthday.  This was something that Scott and I decided to start celebrating just this past year.  Everyone in the family has a journal that we write in on their spiritual birthday.  The kids are already looking forward to celebrating their spiritual birthdays one day.

Avery wanted to trying hatching a chicken from a store bought egg. She used wooden puzzles and tinker toys to make an incubator and her guinea pig's timothy hay for the nest.  He idea was that maybe the sunlight coming in from the window in the nook would keep the egg warm enough.

The week before school started we met Sheila, Bailey, Braden and Brooklyn at McCalister's for lunch.

Judson was outnumbered 5:1. I guess Brooklyn managed to sit out of this picture.

 The Friday evening right before school started we all walked down to Granger for Meet the Teacher.  Avery has a sweet, cute, young teacher named Miss Henderson and Kendall has a bubbly, fun, but more seasoned teacher named Mrs. Schindler.  I think both are going to be great!  Here are a few pics from Meet the Teacher night.
