Tumbling Expo







Believe it or not the theme for the tumbling student expo was "A day at the Zoo"



Check out the tiger in the middle of the photo. Our "Tiger" has been taking tumbling lessons once a week since last fall, and really has a good time. His class was the youngest group of students, and they really enjoyed watching the older students perform.




Some cute photos










Well, we sometimes even take photos when we aren't at the zoo, hahaha.




Here is just a small sampling of some cute, recent photos.

Zoo with Grandma




Fast foward a week or two from the last post and we visited the zoo again! This time with some cousins, aunts and Grandma, to celebrate her birthday. Happy Birthday Grandma, we had a great time!

Zoo with Grandpa




A few weeks ago the boys and I took grandpa on a trip to the zoo. (Daddy was attending the Third Annual Thomas O'Daniel Memorial Golf outing) We saw many animals up close, enjoyed the beautiful weather and finished with a ride on the merry-go-round. Thanks for coming Grandpa, we had a great time!

Babies in the Shower...or tub!




I just thought this title was cute with the post below! Give my sister a little time and she'll have cute tub photos to post someday soon. As you can see, our little guys love bath time!!!

Baby Shower!



Last week my sisters and mom and I had a baby shower for my sister, she is due the beginning of June and we can't wait to meet her baby! I hosted the party and took very few photos, but it was a fun celebration with lots of friends, food and baby gifts.

Lets go fly a Kite







As opposed to a previous post, the wind was actually blowing this beautiful day. The kite flying kept our oldest busy while we mulched all weekend! You can barely see it, but he kite is flying over the house with all of the kite string unwound, it was awesome to see!! As a bonus we managed to land the kite without entangling it in anything. A very successful kite fly!!!

Another trip to the Zoo







We have already gotten quiet the use out of our zoo pass this year. These photos are from a weekday trip with some friends. Two moms and six boys! Thanks for inviting us Jenn. We had a great time.

Minnesota/Wisconsin Trip














































Well, this trip was back in April, but we took so many photos I've had "bloggers block" trying to figure out which ones to post! Of course we have stayed busy since returning home from this trip and have many other photos to post, so I am finally just updating the blog and I hope you enjoy what you see.
Our trip began after arriving at the MN airport after an hour and a half airplane ride with the boys. It went well, but an hour and a half doesn't seem long until you have a 19 month old to occupy! We immediately drove to WI to visit three family farms! Yes, three! We saw lots of animals, and family too! The kids really enjoyed feeding the animals and collecting fresh eggs.
Friday night we stayed with some of my dads family, thanks again Uncle Tony & Aunt Cindy, and Saturday morning we had a visit with a lot of my dads syblings and Nonna too!
Also, our boys got to catch up with their young cousin who lives in Wisconsin. (Picuted above with our middle son)
The reason for the trip was to celebrate my Aunt Marilynn's and Uncle Rod's (on my moms side) 50th Wedding Anniversary. They threw a great party and we enjoyed seeing even more family at their Mass and celebration.
The trip wasn't complete without lots of time in the car, a trip to urgent care, not making it on our flight home with our luggage and of course airplane watching with Grandpa.
Suffice it to say, it was an adventure of a weekend and we had a great time!
