on having given love and attention to your own family, what have you really
accomplished?

Good Times

My parents put up the trampoline this Spring. Emily and Ty sure have enjoyed using it. They look like pros out there jumping around wearing themselves out. Their favorite part of this is putting the sprinkler on underneath the trampoline and jumping around in their swimsuits.














Just some more random pictures of my babies playing outside and having a great time with Emily's BFF, Piper.



















Rick, took an afternoon off and we took our children to the zoo. It was the official 1st visit of summer break.

1st Grade Field Day

Emily had Field Day just before school let out for summer break. Rick and I along with Ty went to go watch the festivities. Ty thought he was a super big kid and hung out with the bigger kids all day long. I don't know who had more fun....

Spidey Rules

My baby boy is getting so big. He is Mr. Independent. Anybody who has spent anytime with him, knows that I am so telling the truth. We had a few people over to help Ty celebrate his 3rd birthday. He had so much fun being the center of attention. Which is where he likes to be.

We played a musical chairs and pin the web on Spider Man and then of course had to have the pinata. Ty had so much fun playing with his friends.






Spring Is Upon Us

Easter weekend, Em and Ty took part in a neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt. Man, were there a ton of kids. We enjoyed dying eggs with family and friends. Then on Easter Sunday, my parents and sister, my brother and his wife and their adorable twin girlie girls and our neice and nephew joined us for a fabulous feast. It was a great day.


















The kids enjoyed playing together with Bella and Sophie.

Diva Nite Out

For Christmas, Rick got my mom and I a wine tasting party for 12 of our closest family and friends. We started the evening off with a fabulous dinner party at my house and then waited for our limo to arrive before we headed out to the tasting. I tasted some of the best wines ever. My mom and I loved sharing this amazing gift with all our "Wine Divas."

Winter Fun

One of the favorite past times this winter was sledding. Rick took the kiddos sledding down the big hill that is across the street. They had so much fun. Needless to say that when they finally made it back home, hot coco was a necessity.

Holiday Season

Christmas was AWESOME. We spent Christmas Eve at my parents with all of us present and accounted for. It was a great evening.















I finally got my Christmas wish that has been a couple of years in the making. My babies got to wake up Christmas morning with my mom, dad and my sister at our house. I could not have asked for a better gift.














Funny thing is that every gift that Ty opened, he would carry it over to my dad and make papa unwrap the gift entirely before he would even consider opening the next. So having said that, we opened gifts for what seemed like hours. We all made out like bandits.
