summer list

One of my MOST FAVORITE blogs I follow has an annual Summer List. We have made one before, however have slacked in recent years.... HERE is our first summer list

Half way through, Finley thought we needed a song break....seriously.
The finished list.....
WISH US LUCK!!!!

the jury is still out

First of all.....Monday was the LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!! Whoo hoo!! That was Braden, not me...haha, I kid. We have lots planned...including making our summer list. We are making it tonight...should be an interesting one ;)

Miss Fin has informed us SHE wanted to play baseball too....so i signed her up for the Y tball instead of the league Brady is in. The Y has practice once a week and their games are Tuesday evenings. Since we weren't sure if she would like it, we thought the easier schedule was a better route....and as you can tell....the jury is still out...

lego night

our family LOVES legos...even the girls. we recently got a few of the new pirates of the caribbean sets and decided to split up (think girls vs. boys) and put them together this week.

fins favorite is putting all the characters together...
jack was even nearby....dont be fooled by the chew toy...he tried to steal jack sparrow multiple times







...yes some of these are switched ;)

off topic....can you tell someones favorite ice cream flavor??

jack...

Jack is 10 months old!! He is so excited that the weather is nice enough to be outside....all...the...time!! So are we ;)

Jack at Christmas...

spring happenings

So its the ritual for every Catholic second grader...First Communion. Brady successfully completed his requirements (think lots of memorizing of prayers and the ten commandments) and was able to have his First Communion on May Day.

As quickly as the spring is passing us by, we did get some plants planted....
Which is great, because we have had some doozy storms!!
