Hayride at the Bailey's

Our friends Bailey & Rudy had a party at their house a couple weekends ago to celebrate Rudy's parents (Steve & Robin) 30th wedding anniversary. They also decided to have a hayride and a scavenger hunt. We did not participate in the scavenger hunt, that was more for the adults, but we did go on the hayride a couple of times...........

Michigan State vs. Michigan

The Hensley household is a divided household when it comes to MSU and U of M.

I am an MSU fan while Kyle is a U of M fan.

So, of course I am trying to raise my children right and that is to bleed GREEN. Ava already knows most of the words to the MSU fight song and Acelynn loves to cheer to our Sparty that plays the MSU fight song. Kyle keeps trying to get the girls to say Go Blue or to wear blue, but so far he has failed......DARN?!?!?!

So for the MSU vs. U of M game, we watched the game at Kyle's parents house. I'm sure most of us know the outcome of the game, but in case you don't MSU came away with the win. Actually it wasn't even a close game.......better luck next year Kyle!!!!

That's my girl!!!

Cheerleader for a game

Every year the Mason Cheerleaders put on a cheer clinic for the young girls and if they participate in that, they get to cheer for the 1st quarter at Mason football game. At first Ava said she didn't want to cheer, but then changed her mind. So, Ava and Laine attended the 3 hour cheer clinic and then cheered the following Friday at the football game!!!!

Learning the cheer "go go get'em get'em, beat'em tonight, beat'em tonight" cheer

smiling at family and friends that were there to watch her.....

Ava had a blast that night and continues to do the cheers at home. She also was a TV star that night as well (channel 6 was there and if you watch the 5th quarter clip from that night, her face is just above the WLNS icon in the lower right hand corner of the screen!!!)

Ava starts preschool.......

Ava started preschool this year. She is going Tuesday and Thursday mornings. It was all she could talk about this summer every time we went past the school, but knew she had to go on the potty all the time before she could go there (what an incentive for us). Well, we were potty trained by July and got the Princess back pack for our birthday!!!

Ingham County Fair

We were able to make it to the fair this year. Kyle and I were curious to see how the girls would do, because last year Ava did not want to ride any of the rides and Acelynn was too small.

Boy were we mistaken!!!!

Checkin' out Eryn and Madie's pigs!!!!

We saw Addison ( a girl from daycare),
so Ava got excited and wanted to ride the rides with her..

Happy Halloween!!!!

This year for Halloween we started over at Aunt Carol's because Jennifer and Shaun sold their house. So, we went over there for dinner and to get ready.

After we got ready and got pictures taken at Aunt Carol's, we were off to my mom's house to go trick or treating over in her neighborhood.

Tinkerbell, Grammie and Sleeping Beauty

The girls lasted for about an hour of trick or treating and got tons of candy. So, we went back to my mom's house and the girls helped my sisters hand out candy. They had a blast with that and were not scared of any of the costumes that came by.

Our new camper

After we got rained on over 4th of July weekend, our tent got moldy. So, we were in the hunt for a new tent....found one, but before we were able to go and buy it we came across a DEAL. Our friends Cortney & Joe were selling their pop up camper for $500.......WE'LL TAKE IT!!!! It's nothing special but we get to sleep off the ground!!!

We took it out for the first time the first weekend in August to Portage Lake. We love it!!!

That weekend we went camping with Kyle's family. We had a blast!!!
