Audrie's 8!

Yesterday we celebrated Audrie’s 8^th birthday!!  We had a lot of fun.  We went to Chili’s per her request (I think it’s the only restaurant my kids think there is on the plant).  Sammy quite enjoyed her food, although that girl always loves her food :)

 Then we went bowling.  There were a couple of times I was worried about the safety of everyone around sweet Audrie as she threw that ball.  It was SOOO funny.  Her technique is UNIQUE and slightly awkward (ok REALLY awkward), but completely entertaining.  When her turn she used the bumpers on the bowling lane and still almost managed to get the ball into the next lane, but I think she was using her left hand to bowl then...not really sure why, but it must have seemed like a good idea at the time!  HA!

 All of us girls minus Sammy.

 Sam wanted to pick up one of those balls SO bad.  She tried so hard, but just couldn't!  Look at that sweet face.

Tyler, as handsome as ever!  

Audrie in absolute HEAVEN.  I mean seriously that face just says it all! 

I adore this picture.  This captures all the sweetness that Audrie has.  She is such a loving, tender kind soul that is carefree and always wanting to have fun!  We love her to pieces and so glad she joined our family 8 years ago :)  Love you sweet Adriana!
