Amidy's New "Bling"

Austin, Amidy and Daddy right after getting her ears pierced!

Right After!!! Amidy is so sad and sleepy!

Daddy holding her down. Not really...just holding her still!

Before...look how happy!!! She has no clue what is about to take place.

Austin and Amidy at Bridge Street before we got Amidy's earrings!

Today was the day...Finally!!! I have been asking and waiting patiently for this day. Finally, Doc agreed to get her ears pierced!!! He wanted to get them done at a jewelry store but there isn't a jewelry store around here that pierces ears anymore. So, it was either Wal-mart or Claire's. We decided Claire's. Actually, it was Icing by Claire's but whatever. We went to Bridge Street in Huntsville to get them pierced. Amidy did very well. She really didn't cry that much. She had just ate so she was very sleepy. When we left she laid her head on my shoulder to sleep. So overall, it was not a traumatic experience it was quite easy!

Amidy's Baby Dedication Outfit

This is the outfit without the bib

With the bib (her bonnet needs to be pulled tighter)

She was after Koda

This outfit is very special because Great Grandma B made her the dress and the bonnet. This was our dress rehearsal...I wanted to make sure everything fit and we are good to go for Sunday.

DeSoto Falls

Amidy, Doc and Me (Austin was taking the picture with his phone since we forgot a camera!)

Austin at DeSoto Falls

DeSoto Falls

Not sure why some pictures are small.

Austin was out of school October 12th and 13th for fall break so we decided to make a day trip and go to Desoto Falls on the 12th but when we woke up Monday morning it was raining!!! I know....Rain, that's a shock! So, then instead of cancelling our day trip we decided to go to Scottsboro and go to Unclaimed Baggage since neither Doc nor I had ever been. That was a very neat store we found a few things for cheap. That was Great! Of coarse, when we get to Scottsboro it wasn't raining so Doc says that Fort Payne is only about 50 miles away so we still could go to DeSoto Falls but of coarse we didn't bring the camera because we were just going shopping and now we are going to the falls. That is why these pictures are not great quality. They are from Austin's cell phone. At least, we have these pictures. This day trip thought me one thing and that is always carry my camera you never know where you will end up! :)

Austin and Amidy after the game.

We had a GREAT Soccer season!!! We won the U-12 Morgan County Championship!!! Which means we are the BEST U-12 team in all of Morgan County!!! This also means the kids will have their names put on a sign showing they are the 2009 U-12 Morgan County Soccer Champion as you enter North park!!! This is a BIG accomplishment....wait to go Priceville Panthers!!!

Wait-to go AUSTIN!!!

OK....I wanted to take a minute to brag on Austin. We got a letter the other day from the Principal's office that basically stated that Austin had made higher than 95% on the SAT test and it qualified Austin to participate in the highly-selective Duke University Talent Identification Program 7th grade Talent search. Which means that Austin as a 7th grader is able to take either the ACT or the SAT. These tests are tests that you would take as an admission process into college. We as parents are super excited about the opportunity that this will be for Austin. This will allow him a better understanding of his academic abilities by comparing his performance with other students. Plus, he will get to see what he needs to learn before he takes these tests in a few years when he is closer to going to college! All I can say is that we are super proud of him!!!
