Swim Team!

So summertime for us means school is out and swim team begins! These are photos from last year swim team, but they both did really well. Now it is time to get back into that mode again. By the end of the summer I am a fried momma, from being at the pool for a few hours a couple days a week, but can't complain the kids get exercise and fun at the same time! Happy start to your summer!

Going back in time...First Communion/Confirmation

This is back from April 18th, but forgot to post it....Ryan made his First Holy Communion and Confirmation at St. Bridget's Catholic Church. We are so very proud of him and this accomplishment. All he had to say was that the outfit was "DORKY" ! And if any of you know Ryan, he is a crocs kind of kid and would rather be in comfortable clothes. Also, church hasn't been the most exciting thing he does, but later in life he may come to find a need for his faith and will be happy that he has done these sacraments. I know as a parent, it was important for me to have him do this.

The pictures totally catch Ryan's enthusiasm about the whole deal??? huh?

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all my wonderful mommy friends! Or as my kids use to say it when they were little "Mudder's Day". Hope this finds you all having a great day and lots of rest or things that mom wants to do :)

Earth Day, just a little late

Yes, I realize that Earth Day was about 2 1/2 weeks ago, but here are some cute pictures of our Earth Day in the neighborhood. Our neighborhood had a ladybug release for Earth day and the kids got their faces painted and then put their hands into a bucket or this wagon above and get HANDFULS of ladybugs to place on a tree or wherever they chose. Madyson (niece) seemed to love them crawling all over her. Very Sweet!
