brewer game, sleepover, boat, tball, 4k graduation and cooling off in the backyard......

So here we are again....i still can't believe how fast this year is going by....

My mom and dad were selling their old boat so Tim and I talked about it and decided it would be a good purchase for us.  Tim has used it so much already and he found his little fishing buddy also. Ryan loves being in the boat about as much as tim does which is awesome. The first time we went out it was a little rough on the lake so Abby did not have a very good first experience, hopefully she will try it again on a more calm day and really enjoy it!!

My my and dad and sister and I did our annual Brewers / Cubs game.  Thankfully the Brewers won in about 13 innings and a 5 hour game...yes a very long game but it was a blast. Thanks mom and dad for making this an annual family trip..its always so much fun!

Shauna and Mike had a wonderful chance to take a mini vacation to Florida. Mike had some work business to do there and then Shauna met him out there. they seemed to have such a wonderful time and we watched Rachel and Eli for two nights while they were gone.  It was fun, it was our neighborhood rummage sale so the girls wanted to have a cookie and lemonade stand. They ended up doing really well, making a total of about $20 during the day.  They spent some of it walking around to some rummage sales and then Tim took them to the dollar store to get a few pool things since it was a hot 85 degrees that day.  They also came home with these cute little animal rings. The boys spent all day either riding bikes or playing with imaginext toys in our basement. Those two love playing with those toys:)  

Ryan started playing tball this year and so far he seems to like it. He said he likes games more then practices which actually surprised me since there are people at games watching them and not at practices:)  but that makes me happy he isn't too scared playing in front of people. Hopefully he keeps that up.  My mom and dad came to his game on Sunday June 3rd and my dad got some super cute pictures during the game.  

Ryan also had his 4k graduation tonight on June 4th.  They all did such a great job. They sang 8 songs, one they sang and did sign language to.  It was so cute to see all of them so happy and proud of themselves.  Then each kid had to stand up in front of everyone and say what their favorite thing about 4k was. Ryan said the Lego table, and about a minute before that Abby whispered to me and said "I bet Ryan is going to say the lego table." well I guess she knows her brother:)  

Next we are off to kindergarten!!!  Way to go Ryan:)

And last but not least, I have some more just random pictures of the kids being silly and of them swimming in the pool. we have been lucky enough to have quite a few hot days already, and its only June 4th....hmmm kind of makes me nervous what kind of summer we are going to have!!  

And Thats .why I love'em......

lots and lots of stuff....easter, birthdays, loosing teeth, first communion, random pictures....

Well I think we will start this post off about Easter..I don't have many pics but it was another successful visit from the Easter Bunny...took the kids a long time to find their easter baskets which is always fun!! 

Next up on the list...we were bored one day and kids wanted to make some things out of clay. Tim is pretty creative when it comes to making things..so much more creative then I am..im kind of the boring one when it comes to arts and crafts in the house:)  They made some super cute animals and other things and I just loved them. Not sure who had more fun making them... :)  They made many more then what I have shown here, they even made some angry birds for Eli but don't have a picture of those!!  

Kids had also seen online how to make snow globes, so yes daddy had to try those out also..they turned out great!!!  Ryan put a Marine guy in his and Abby put a littlest pet shop!! too cute!!

So Ryan is getting so grown up. so much he has started to loose his teeth!!!  he has so far lost two of them. He seems way to little to be loosing teeth already:( my babies are growing up way too fast!! I believe he lost his first one in April and his second one in May!!! its June now so maybe his third??  we shall see!!!

Here we are already to May...Abby celebrated her First Communion on May 5th....she is so grown up and I could not believe how well she did today.  I am so proud of everything she does and its so wonderful to see her grow into such a beautiful young lady:)
She was so excited to dress up and get her hair done, by her hairdresser, Shauna:)  she also could not wait to get to "take the bread" at church!!!

Here are just a few random pictures I took of the kids one day when they were acting goofy!! I know this post if full of pictures but sometimes those tell our lives better then my words can:)

So I will add one more event to this post...its getting to be a long one...I will add more to another one I do!!!
My niece Kate turned 2 May 12th...I cannot believe she is 2 already, although somethings she does I can't believe she is only 2. She is such a ham and anytime anyone is around her she puts a smile on your face, I love her!!!
Shauna of course outdid herself again for her party. It was a rainbow theme and she did so many neat decorations and her cake was awesome!!  Not to mention Kates skirt and how adorable she looked in that!!

 

Its been such a great spring so far and the good times just keep on coming!!
Thats.why I love'em!!!!!
