Alexxa's Daddy Football Talk Video

So I kind of interviewed Alexxa about her Daddy and Football...

Cheer Camp!

Averi participated in Cheer Camp this year at East Noble and loved it!!!!  I took a few videos:)

Let's Go EN Cheer!

Ouch!

So we had our first major injury with the Amstutz kids and it was Mommy's fault!  The kids and I were all ready to head to Averi's soccer game when I put down the back hatch door on our Jeep and accidentally caught Averi on the head.  I thought she was going to have to get a staple, but because the gash was in her hair we decided she could handle having a scar!  She was a trooper!  She barely cried and was brave the whole time:)  She was mad that she had to miss her soccer game that day, but she was back at it the next weekend!

Our Annual Notre Dame game! Go Irish!

We went on our annual Notre Dame Football Game Date the other weekend.  We had so much fun and Notre Dame beat Michigan State!

Cleveland Zoo

We visited the Cleveland Zoo this summer!  Some of our friends had a little baby girl, so we headed to Cleveland to meet her and while we were there we gave the zoo a visit!  It is a really cool zoo!  They had Camels, Elephants, Lions, Tigers, Giraffes, Gorillas, Koalas, Grizzly Bears, Polar Bears, Rhinos, Monkeys, an amazing aquarium area, and so much more!  The little ones passed out about half way through.  Check out the pictures!

Averi's 1st T-Ball Season

Averi enjoyed her 1st T-Ball season this summer!  She was on the Wolves team and she grew a lot as a little baseball player! She was super excited that Addison Shippy was on her team too!

Presenting Averi Lynn our T-Ball player!

I am not sure what was going on here...
but there was a conversation happening on the pitchers mound and
 I think they were both playing the same position:)

I am pretty sure every girl has done this to their daddy before, as he coaches them:) LOL!
I know I have...sorry Dad! :)

Growing Our Butterflies!

We grew caterpillars into butterflies again this summer.  The kids loved it. They watched them as they grew from little caterpillars into fat caterpillars. Then, they changed into crystallizes. Last, they blossomed into Painted Lady Butterflies so we fed them some watermelon for a few days and then let them go up at the lake!

Averi's message to the butterflies is....

I love you and have a great life!  :)
