Mother's Day

The kids got me one of the coolest Mother's Day gifts thus far...a pot for them to paint.  Thanks honey!

Love it!!

We also got in a fun little hike.

We're Going to DisneyLand!

We told the boys when our piggy bank was full (a.k.a. Crown Royal jug) that we cold go to DisneyLand.  We put a suitcase in the livingroom and Nick brought out the jar and told them it was full...took Zach a minute, but Ben caught on right away (and sis just got caught up in the excitement).  We had bought the trip a few months back, but waited until about a month-out to tell them so we didn't have to hear 'how many more days' for quite as long.  Leaving the week after school is out!

Little Buddies

These sweet little stinkers get to hang out at daycare...Courtney and my friend Melissa's little guy Mikaiden.

How can you say no to cookies at 10 pm to these little faces!  Courtney and Emerson (Robbie & Nikki's)

Meadowlark Fun Run

I didn't make it to the Fun Run this year at Ben's school, but Nick stopped by and caught some of the action.

Ben's 1st Communion

Celebrating a special boy and special day!  Ben made his First Reconciliation earlier this year and now made his First Communion.  I love watching his excitement for this part of his life and am very proud of him!

Gramma made a cake for the special occasion.

My mom stuck in some pictures of me on my First Communion Day...apparently Ben got a kick out of it.

So glad my parents came for the special day!
