Outdoor Summery Fun

The weather has been GORGEOUS lately! I'm ok with it remaining this way all summer. I'll compromise. I'll take this weather on the days I'm home with the kids. It can rain when I'm at work! 

 Liz ADORES to dig in the dirt... and to eat dirt... 

Playing in the sprinkler!

Pre School Graduation

Our baby boy is a pre-school graduate... It doesn't seem possible at all that he'll be going to Kindergarten this fall! Wasn't he just born last year? 

 singing songs they learned this year

 The Procession

 The family

 Michael and his teacher, Mrs. Grant

 Lizzy being a patient observer.... She and Dino did have to pace for a while, but she did great!

Graduation dinner... Michael's requests clams, olives, asparagus, broccoli, chicken and his favorite MUSHROOMS!!! He gobbled them all down!

Mother's Day Tea at St. Jude's

 Mikey and his Mama on their way to the Mother's Day Tea

 Mikey snapped this one of me wearing my special crown that he made me. It was a surprise for us Mama's and he did pretty good keeping it. It slipped out at dinner just before the event what I'd get to wear for the evening.

The kiddo's sang songs about their favorite ladies.

A special Mother's Day craft we did together. There very few photos of Mikey and I together, but this is 1 of my favorites. Our first photo together! Hard to believe just 56 months ago he arrived... 

Mikey and most of the kiddos in his class.... just 2 more weeks together for them... and then Graduation Day...

Spring time Fun at Casa Popovich

We really do like to play here. 

Harris Hill

Nice warm weather when we were in Elmira for Easter meant we could take a trip to Harris Hill to let the kids ride on the Kiddie rides that have been there for years!

 Flying a plane

 Navigating a boat with sister as co-pilot

 Riding the Whip. He insisted he would be brave. Note the kid behind him. They stopped the ride 1/2 way through because that kid was not brave. 

 Note the look of panic. 

 Mikey driving. Lizzy riding. 

Hang on tight Lizzy!!!

My Girlie Loves Her Books

From the beginning, once Liz was able to choose a toy or to carry one around our house, she has been drawn to books. 

 Reading Peter Cottontail

 Reading at Grammy and Dino's

 Curled up in a Big Girl chair with a good book
