The kids made it through
another year of school.
The older they get the faster
time flies! Sara spent last
weekend in St. Joseph with
at her friend Amanda's
Grandma's house and the
boy's and I had a garage
sale at Lolly's with Lolly,
Josh and Claudia. We did
ok but I think a lot of
people were out of town.
We did have fun hanging out.

Sunday night Alex, Sara and I
had a Rocky Mountain Chocolate
Factory booth at Celebration
at the Station. Jack and
Jesse came and helped all
night. Jack was comical,
he wanted to go to the
alligator and it took us a
few minutes to figure out that
he was saying elevator.

Sara has been at Grandma's
for the last couple of days
and the boys and I have been
just hanging out here. Last
night we babysat for Jack, he
kept us entertained all
evening. Today we are going
to babysit for Miss Lily.
We can't wait to see her
roll over.

Things have been crazy around here for
the last few weeks! It seems like we have
had some kind of event at school almost
every night. Both boys had band concerts
and Sara had a choir concert.

Alex had his last few golf practices then
his golf banquet. He had a lot of fun playing
golf and is planning to play again next year.
He will be 16 in less than a month and can't
wait to drive. AARGH!!!

Sara has graduated from 8th grade and
has stayed on the honor roll all 3 years
of middle school. She even got an award
for her math skills. She is really excited
about high school. We went a couple of
weeks ago and she picked her classes and
most importantly she and her best friend
signed up to be locker partners.

Eric is ready to be out of school for
the summer, he has much better things
to do. He did great his first year of
middle school. He finally got to go to
Friday Night Live!

This school year has gone so fast!

Saturday

Saturday the boys and I went over to

play with Ali & Lily. She was very happy

that I brought "Ersix" and Alex with me.

I painted her finger and toenails.

She wanted me to paint Ersix's too but

Ersix didn't think it was such a great idea.

I don't know whats wrong with him!
After that we went over to Grandma's.

How do you keep 4 teenagers and a

bulldog occupied?

BUBBLES!

They are freaks...

Chasing kids and keeping an eye on

those scary bubbles really makes

a bulldog tired!

Honor Roll

Alex, Sara and Eric all made honor roll again!!
Great job guys!

Easter

Crafts Ian hunting eggs.

This was the first time we met Madelyn. She is
such a doll!

The whole crew.

Ali eating bubbles, they must have been

pretty tasty! Matt & Beth will never be

able to watsh her mouth out with soap

as a punishment.

Aaron, AJ and Eric checking out

their loot. Eric and AJ went down

to Uncle Jerry's woodshop and

designed and built a car. They did

a great job and I didn't even take

a picture of it!

Ava needs a shave!

He looks so angelic!

We made a quick trip up to Tina and

Jerry's house for Easter. The weather

was beautiful and we had a great time.

We helped Jesse and Jack move back

to KC.

Weekend update

We had a pretty quiet weekend here. I had to
go pick Alex up from school on Thursday
because he was sick. He ran a fever and
felt bad until Sunday. Sara and Eric went
over to Grandma's Friday after school and
stayed for the weekend. Aunt Tina, Jesse and
Jack were in town for the whole weekend
Tina ended up staying at Demian's house
and didn't come here until Saturday so that
she wouldn't get sick. They have had
the same kind of winter that we've had
with everyone getting sick. Sunday eve
Demian, Jesse, Josh, Ava, AJ and Lolly
came over and we were going to play
games but we ended up just hanging
out and visiting.
Today was wonderful! Tina and I went
and got pedicures, we went to a place
with great massaging chairs, what a
treat!! We also went shopping for
awhile and just had a nice girls day out.
Thanks Tina!

For some reason I can't put these pictures in order...
The kids were on Spring Break last week and we did
all kinds of fun things. The biggest news it that
Alex had golf team try outs Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday and he made the golf team!!
Monday while Alex was at golf and Sara was at
Grandmas Eric and I went to the park
with Beth and the girls. It was a beautiful
day and we had a great time.
Tuesday Mom & Dad wanted to go to the
St. Pats parade so I dropped them off with
Sara, Eric and Sara's friend Amanda about a
block from the parade route. I got really
lucky I was able to get them in and out without
much traffic. Friday we went to the zoo with
Mom & Dad, my knuckleheads, Alex's girlfriend
Alaina, Sara's friend Amanda, Mom's neighbor
girl, Beth, Ali, Lolo And Brett. We took a
picnic lunch and had a lot of fun. It was a
little cool but much better than being there
in 100 degree weather. Saturday night we went
to see Liverpool. Sara and her friends got to
go up on stage and draw tickets for the raffles
and Sara drew Beth's name. She won a t-shirt big
enough for the whole family with a really pretty
bug on it.
