Avery's Birthday!


Avery's 9th birthday. Her birthday dinner choice...TACOS.

After dinner she opened her gifts. Top on her list was noisy putty. It makes a farting noise when you squish it. Lucky me!


Avery walked passed this large gift several times and never saw it. Finally, we pointed it out to her.

A new bike!
Then it was time for cake! If you look closely, it says "Happy Birthday Ave" She didn't notice that either. I ran out of the gel icing after the 'e'

Father / Daughter Dance

After 2 cancellations because of snow, last night Avery and Chris finally headed to father/daughter dance at our elem school. Below is what I get when I ask for a pic.
Finally, I had to yell at my two goof balls for a serious pic....

Another Exciting Night

Tuesday night was CJ's final wrestling meet of the season. He started off great. He took his guy down to the mat, and hit his knee the wrong way causing it to dislocate. He tapped out of the match, and just laid on the mat with pain on his face. Not a pleasant moment for the mom!
The trainer and the coaches ran out to be with him. The trainer worked on his knee for a few minutes and popped his knee back in its place. They helped him off the mat and then iced his knee. The trainer told us it was the worst dislocated kneecap he has ever seen. He also told us that we would need to take CJ to an orthopedic surgeon in the morning. So, this afternoon he was seen by the orthopedic. The good doctor told us he just needed to wear a brace for a few weeks, limit his activity, and head back to his office in 4 weeks for follow up. All's well that ends well!

A Hartman Valentine!

Kami and Daddy!

By 2pm CJ, Kylie, Madi, and Avery were all out in the neighborhood sledding with friends. So Chris took Kamryn out back to play in the snow. The snow was not ideal for making a snowman, and it was too deep for Kami to just run around in. So they headed to the swingset.

Finally, our little girl making snow angels! She is so damn cute.

The Day After

A few more shot of the blizzard of 2010 from our driveway.
The little dark spec is actually the corner of our park bench.
