Lots of "firsts"

This past weekend was very busy for the Minor family. I actually canceled a few things so that we could relax a little. Saturday morning, Andrew and Scott went to the driving range with Scott's dad for the first time while Luke and I stayed home to do chores (unfortunately that was not the first time). I never left the kitchen and laundry room! How much fun does that sound? We did fit in another bath for Luke though.

Looking good...

Look at that form - Phil Mickelson, watch out!

Gramps giving Andrew his first lesson. I'm sure Andrew listened to every word. Ha!

Saturday night Andrew, Luke and I went to Boo at the Zoo for the first time with Ellen, Molly and Riley. The kids dress up in their costumes and trick-or-treat at the zoo. There are a few animals out and we rode the train and merry-go-round. Andrew would NOT get on one of the horses that move up and down. We had to sit in one of the seats. Luke was our excuse. It's now my mission to get Andrew on one of those horses. We will be going back!

Andrew and Riley (I think she is Belle? I dont' know princesses - I have boys!)

What a cute Superman!

Sitting on the merry-go-round. Luke's first ride.

Sunday was Luke's first time to church. Look at the cute outfit he is wearing from Mrs. Penny! We received MANY compliments. He slept through Sunday School and Scott brought him home after that. I taught in Andrew's class that day so we stayed. That's another story for another day.

My sweet baby! I love this picture. It's my favorite so far!

My sweet boys going to church!

I had a sorority alumnae event Sunday afternoon - no pics but it was fun. Then I took Andrew to a birthday party. It was so funny! He was one of only 2 boys at the princess-themed party - Andrew's first Cinderella party. Honestly, I don't think he even noticed. He kicked the soccer balls and threw the football almost the entire time. He was checking out Cinderella though.

Andrew playing football. That's my boy!



Andrew did let Cinderella paint his face. He asked her if she had any "boy pictures". He chose a basketball. He told Cinderella that rainbows were for girls.





Andrew and Gibbs (the other boy at the party) checking out Cinderella from afar. Look at all of the princesses!

Lauryn (the birthday girl and dressed as Cinderella) sat with Andrew rather than the other princesses. That was pretty funny. I guess Andrew was her prince charming!

If anyone is looking at this, Andrew would like one of these for Christmas!

What a great weekend! Andrew had so much fun. Not much going on this week but Andrew does have his last soccer class. Next weekend we have another birthday party but not much else. Yea! Maybe we can relax some and prepare for Halloween!
