I'm Taking Over

Ok...so Mom just left for Latvia and I too have been waiting for her to update this thing. Seeing as she won't be back for a while, I am taking things into my own hands. By the way, this is Dani. Alex just got back from GSP and she had a BLAST!! She was sad to leave and made some great friends.

Alex and four of her girl friends decided to dance to a Backstreet Boys song for the talent show. They dressed up as guys...alex got Howie...she looked so gross. It doesnt even look like my gorgeous sister in the pictures. A group of them also got into a huge mud fight and they were covered head to foot in caked on mud. She got close with her room mate, Kristen, too! (She is the one in the hooded, wet hair picture with Alex). We were all so excited to get her back. It was weird not having my best friend around for that long.

Grandpa John?

My posts have not been updated lately because I am out of town. But here are a few pics of John and his littlest girls.

Is Mommy Supposed to Laugh?

This was too cute!

Some Little Bug Love

Welcome to the World Baby Sam......

I wish I had a picture to post of new baby Sam. Patrick and Kelly have a new baby brother. Since I don't have a picture of him, I will post pictures I have of big brother and sister from last year.

John Playing with the Boys!

The girls have been hanging out with Shane and Ryan for years and years. They are in many of the pictures I have posted in the past. Well, Friday they had their chance to get back at John for all the times he has "intimidated"them. I mean that is what a Dad is supposed to do when someone is out with his precious little girls.

Shane was excited he got John on his shoulders one time, but I think the winner in this scenario is obvious.

The boys shining moments:


The girls had a few dunkings too:

Summer Days.....

Just dreaming of summers past and thinking that after tomorrow, my kids will be out of school for the summer. It will go all too fast!!!

The Many Faces of Dani in Ireland

Time to share a few of Dani in Ireland. She will never forget this trip. She missed me most, of course.

Jessy's Graduation

I didn't post pics of Jessy's graduation when I got home. Ashley posted a couple stolen pics on her blog, but I thought I needed to dedicate a post to Jessy on my blog.

Please visit my smugmug site to see them all, but here are a few of the "Graduate."











I love this last picture of her with her keys in her hand. Looks like she had graduated and was ready to get on with her new life!!
