~Friends~

 Last day of school. These 3 are friends. They look so cute.

ZOO

 On May 18th, St. Joe's was off school because they didn't use any snow days. I took the day off and headed to the zoo. I promised that we would come back and see the Stingrays.  We were in the tent for probably 30 minutes. They could have stayed longer. They all took turns feeding the stingrays. We met some friends there and ended up having a great day!

Mother's Day 2015

 We ran a 5K for Mother's Day this year as a family! The kids did AMAZING!!!! I was so proud of them!

 Tinker had a Mother's Day breakfast at school. They read some poems and sang some songs. She did great and was so excited that I was there!!!! (She is the tallest in her class and she is just so special. It doesn't phase her a bit. She has always marched to her own drum and now that she is getting older I see that as one of her best attributes! )

Helping Dad

 This boy loves helping his dad.  Matt stayed right by him for safety of course!!!!

~Anabelle Turns 5~

 Happy Birthday to my sweet, sweet girl

 Anabelle had a swimming party for her birthday!!!! She had a blast!!!

Tinker Turns 7

This post is out of order because I was looking for the pics but they got deleted from Matt's phone. This girl got her ears pierced for her 7th birthday.  I wish I had the video and pictures from Matt's phone.  She yelled-she screamed-it was awful for about 2 minutes. They did one ear at a time. She yelled....stop...forget it...after one ear. Matt got in there and soothed her-talked her off the ledge so to speak.  Tinker is fearless...nothing hurts her.(I guess we found her weakness..) Oh boy did she cry.....
She is better now.

Easter 2015

ZOO (Spring 2015)

 We went to the zoo over Spring Break. The kids had a blast. Some lady at the zoo gave us free tickets to the sea lion show. We had never been so we gave it a try. It was AMAZING! The kids LOVED it. It was so cool! We will for sure be going back. Everyone gets to pick what they want to see since there is so much to see at the zoo.
Lily-picked the Stingrays (was sooo disappointed that they were not open yet!) So she settled for the penguins
Anabelle- Picked the monkeys and giraffes
Aidan- He loved the sea lion show and the penguins so he was happy!!!!

I promised Tinket we would return when the Stingrays were open!!!
That last pic cracks me up!!!!

Let it Snow...Let it Snow....

 The kids LOVE sledding!!!!!!

A New Tradition

 Nana and Pop started a new tradition where they take each grandchild out to eat on their birthday at the restaurant of their choice. I don't have any pics of Anabelle but that is a pic of us in Cape celebrating her birthday at the movies!!!!  Their choices this year were....
Lily- Applebees
Aidan - Stefanina's Pizza
Anabelle- Cracker Barrell
The kids love it and we love anytime Nana and POP come and visit!!!!

SNOW

 The girls enjoyed playing in the snow! Aidan had pneumonia so there are no pics of him!!!!
