Birthday Party & Soccer

Our little Aubrie started PreK this year. The first 3 weeks were HORRIBLE! She cried everyday! I hated making her go, but after the third week, she LOVED it! She has a wonderful teacher and is making so many good friends that she will be with for the next 13 years, so I am so happy for my little social butterfly! She got invited to her first bday party with her new friends and we had a great time! Here they are posin' for the camera!Gotta get in those silly faces!

On the hayride she had to sit by Austin. She informed me about a week before the party that Austin was her boyfriend because both of their names started with "A"....and then proceeded to tell me that he kissed her in the "block center." The teacher told me that they had a class talk about saving those kisses and hugs for mommies and daddies! Go Aubrie! More pics on the hayride....Soccer season came to a close in the middle of this month. Here are some shots from her last game. Gettin' some lovin' from the "Mims" (meems)Waiting on the sidelines enjoyin' some blue gatorade....Gettin' some more lovin' from Daddy post blue gatorade (check out that blue mouth).Team shot of the "Wiggles"!!! UNDEFEATED!With Coach Wayne (AKA Daddy Wayne)....the most wonderful soccer coach on the planet!

Aubrie, we love you so much and are so proud of the beautiful and sweet little girl you are becoming! So blessed to have you in our lives! We love you more than you will ever know! Oh, and STOP GROWING SO FAST!

October Madness...

Halloween was a fun and busy time for the McCarters! Our kids are at the perfect ages to really enjoy all the festivities! They all loved dressing up, getting candy, going on hayrides, and being with good friends!

This is on Thursday before Halloween at Emma's Kiddie Kollege party and Fall Festival.

With her class....Smiling for the camera....Saying "Meeeeow"Her buddy Ridge. She prays for her friend Ridge every night! Too sweet!An attempt at a class pic before going into the festival...yeah...ok!Enjoying the "treat walk".....And playing golf...I know her Uncle Ryan will be proud!Hopscotch....I was so glad that I decided to take 1/2 a day off of work and enjoy her party with her. I feel like my life is in fast forward and I'm missing out on so much! One day soon, they won't want me anywhere around, so I try to take advantage of every second with them....Emma & her teacher Ms. Audreyand art teacher Ms. JillFriday night we went to a party at some friends' house! SO MUCH FUN!

My little "flower child".....she can't take a pic these days without the peace sign....

Precious Cowgirl!!! She really wanted to be Gloria the hippo from Madagascar, but we couldn't find a costume. She settled for this cowgirl costume, but wasn't absolutely thrilled!And mommy's "titty tat"....that's how she says it since she says "t" for "c"....See what I mean about the peace sign!?Emma & Christopher...stopping to smell the roses.Emma & the "ghost"....that is what she called.Great time was had by all: Jack, Kaitlyn, Christopher, Kate, & Aubrie Spiderman was trying to help the titty tat with her ears and she thought that was pretty funny!She also found her big sister quite humorous!Aubrie and me on the hayride! Love this child to pieces!They had light sticks and thought that was so cool!Candy + Party = EXHAUSTION!Saturday we went Trick or Treating with the Cannon's and the Poore's who so graciously let us join them. (Justin, Cannon, Daniel, & Kaitlyn in back; Emma, Anna Claire, & Aubrie in front)Kaitlyn and one of her best buds Abby...Emma & her best bud Anna Claire In case you didn't notice, the cowgirl decided to be a princess Saturday for trick or treating. But the princess' shoes were too little and Poppy had to carry her most of the night....that or she rode with Mimi in her electric chair. Spoiled much!?It was so neat to trick or treat with my friend Melissa. We have pics of the two of us trick or treating as kids and now we have little girls just 5 months apart that are getting to do the same thing together. Too cool! Thanks for the pics, Missy!
Hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloween!
