Another update!!!

Hi all! We have been as busy as ever, but we're having a great time. We LOVED George and Jodi's wedding, and we've been enjoying all of the fun we've been having with our friends. Lots of BBQs, bubble blowing, slip-n-sliding, and even a little hiking! Danny has been working on his golf game, and I'm starting my first ever quilt. We're getting really excited for our trip to WNY in just 2 weeks!!! It's hard to believe June is already half over!

We hope you are all enjoying yourselves and the sunshine....and of course, our latest pictures. See you soon!

A man and his fighter jet

So handsome

The first step of Lila's quilt....it took me forever to lay out the squares and make it look nice. Now I need to get the nerve to start sewing!

Birthdays, graduations, and tee ball....OH MY!

I know, I know.  It's been two MONTHS since I have updated this blog!  What can I say?  We've been very very busy!!  It's been an exciting two months.....Logan started tee-ball, then Logan had his birthday, then Lila had her birthday, then Logan graduated from preschool.........it's been TONS of fun!  

Because I have so many pictures to share, I won't write a long post this time around.  Just to cover the bases - Logan turned 5 in the end of April.  He had a Superman birthday party here at the house and he loved it!  He started tee ball in mid April and just finished up last week.  He really enjoyed that too, and he looked soooooo cute in his uniform!  And the biggest event....he graduated from Preschool last week!  It was a great little ceremony (and of course, I cried).  I am sad to see him leave Ramah, because I truly love it there.  He is feeling a bit intimidated by the thought of Kindergarten, but we know he will love it and do so well!  In the mean time, he will be spending 3 weeks this summer going to different camps in town and he is looking forward to that.

Lila turned 3 in the end of May and we had a fun barbecue with a mermaid theme for her.  She is really starting to turn a corner and act less like an irrational child and more like a civilized human being, so we are really excited about that!!  She has been LOVING having her big brother home all day now that school is out, and they spend their mornings playing school, house, and superheroes.  I love to watch them play together...they really love eachother and get along so well and there's not much more I could hope for!  She is looking forward to starting preschool at Ramah in the fall.  She tends to be a bit shy at first, but I know she will be fine once she settles in.  This weekend she is going to be the flower girl for some of our closest friends.  She has a beatiful "princess" dress and we have big plans to bribe her down the aisle with fruit snacks!! Hopefully it won't take me 2 months to post those pics!  

Okay, so on to the good stuff (LOTS of pics this time!)!  We hope you're doing well and enjoying summer!!  We miss you all and are looking forward to seeing a lot of you soon!!!!

By the way - you can click on the pictures to see them in a bigger size if you feel the need!
