Fishing Fun

Alyssa wanted her grandpa to take her fishing, so on Friday we went to a little farm pond. She was determined to catch a fish, she told us that she would stay until it was time to come back to PA if she didn't catch a fish. Well grandpa got her rod ready and in the water and wouldn't you know she caught a fish before everyone else was even ready. The kids all had a good time and everyone caught lots of fish.

Back Home

Well we are finally home after 11 days of vacation. It definitely feels good to be back, but we had a great trip. Rob's dad was pleasantly surprised with his party and his kids being home to visit. It was great to see everyone, especially Rob's sister and her husband. We had a lot of fun. We also got to visit our good friends in Cincinnati, it was great to spend a little time with them. Now it is back to school and work. I will post some pics from our trip.

Our fun photo shoot

We had a great Mother's Day, first we started out with a soccer game. The coach gave all the boys a red rose for their mom, so there were 13 boys and 1 girl all crossing the soccer field with a rose for their mom. It was great. They won the game and it was a very physical one. Then we went to lunch at my favorite restaurant. After lunch we went to the trail to take pictures. We had a really fun time. We have decided this is something we will do often. Here are some of the pictures we took that day.

We have had a normal week, games and practice. Although last night we actually didn't have anything, so we worked out in the yard. Rob planted a weeping cherry tree for my mom for mother's day. And I started getting the pool ready, it is nasty because we didn't cover it. Hopefully it will be ready when we get home from vacation. Next week will be a busy one, I have to start packing.

Soccer Pics

Here are the new soccer pics. Isaac's gold team is the U-12, and the green is U-10. Ashley plays U-8 and Alyssa plays U-6.

Other news

We won our baseball game on Wednesday, it was a big win for our team. The team we played is one that we haven't been able to beat in a few years. Our boys played a great game.

Alyssa passed her kindergarten screening with flying colors. She impressed the teachers with her reading skills. So now we can request the teacher that we wanted, he is a great guy. All of the kids love him, and he pushes reading. I think Alyssa will excell with him as a teacher.

Tonite I am taking Lexi and her friend Emmy shopping for their birthdays. We will have fun.

Good News!

I just wanted to let everyone know my mom's heart cath came back good. They said everything is great and no need to worry about her heart. Plus her vascular doppler on her legs didn't show any problems either. I want to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers.

We had 4 soccer games this weekend and won them all! Ashley played goalie and did a great job. Lys didn't want to play and quit near the end of the game. It was nasty and rainy all day Saturday, when we had 3 games, but Sunday was beautiful and 70. Last night we had a baseball game and won by 10 runs. Tonite and Thursday is soccer practice. Wednesday a baseball game and Friday practice. Saturday is a crazy day, a 10:00 soccer game, a 12:00 soccer game, a 3:30 soccer game, and finally a 6:15 baseball game. Plus Lexi has majorettes at 10:00 and a dance at 6:00. Thankfully Sunday is only church and a soccer game.

On Wednesday my mom has to go in for a heart cath. The doctor says just for precaution, say a prayer for her. I will update as soon as we know something.

Off to our busy week, plus I need to start getting ready for vacation in 2 1/2 weeks.
