First Game

We finally had our first game today! It should have been our 4th, but the weather has NOT cooperated! The kids had a lot of fun and they did really well - especially considering we haven't had practices or a game for two weeks! Cavan took a line drive to the thigh at the end of the game - he was tough and didn't cry but it made me really worried! He has to have surgery in June to remove an umbilical cyst as well as close up an umbilical hernia, so I was very relieved that the ball got him in the thigh and not the stomach! He fell to the ground and I couldn't tell at first where he got hit so I panicked internally for a second!

Easter 2011

Our Easter plans had to change last minute but we still had a nice day. Kiara ended up getting sick and when the motrin wore off she was miserable until it kicked in again. The kids had fun finding their baskets, having an egg hunt, and then playing a few "minute-to-win-it" themed games.

C's Birthday Cake

We are having a bowling party to celebrate C's 5th birthday! I decided to make the cake myself :) I carved a bowling pin cake and then made bowling ball cupcakes to go with it! Hopefully C* will appreciate the effort I've put in to make his day special :) I'm certain that B* appreciates all of my hard work as the cake/cupcakes cost less than $5 verses the $50 it would have cost at the bakery!

C* is FIVE!!!!!

She's a FOURTH grader!!!!

Yes- you read that right! K* started her first day of fourth grade today! I can't believe just how fast she is growing up :( I am so proud of what a beautiful, smart, sensitive young lady she is becoming but at the same time I miss having her home with me....summer just isn't long enough!

GO COLTS!

You've gotta love Aunt Colleen! She is such a fun aunt and sent us a cookie cake to help cheer on the COLTS today....but don't worry Chicago- she's not cheating on you!


Someone should really let her know that the Bears didn't make it to the superbowl :)

More from yesterday....
