Mother's Day 2008

I had a wonderful Mother's Day!

Here I am with my Mom and my brother, Michael.

Michael, Aunt Lisa, Gammy(my grandmother), Me, and my Mom with Bryan and Maya

The reason I can celebrate being a MOM

Tour de Scranton and a trip to Wilkes

George and I did the tour de Scranton bike race on Sunday. We rode 35 miles and did very well minus our sore butts!

My parents watched the kids, THANK YOU !!!!

This is us stopped in Peckville for some fuel.

Me..pre-race

George:)

Saturday we went to the Wilkes car show. We had a lot of fun. George graduated from Wilkes and it was fun to see the area.

The kids liked the cars...VROOM, VROOM!

It was BEAUTIFUL on Saturday! Now where is that weather this week?

Meet the Chefs

Maya and Bryan are cute together sometimes!

Last weekend we had my great friend, Jennifer's baby shower. She is due in June and I cannot wait to meet her little baby girl!!!

My creative Mom made Jen's beautiful diaper cake

PICTURES FROM OUR NJ VISIT

Maya is  a girly girl. She can dress herself, put things in her pockets. Loves her hair...loves her shoes more. I am so glad I have my girly girl!

Aidan turned 2 . He has the "train trait". Yup, it is the trait Bryan had, okay still has.

Not a lot of boys have this obsessive trait and Bryan does not look happy to see his new competition at the train table.

Cathy's brother , Tim, loves kids and see what he gets for it?

COREY, LOGAN AND BRYAN

(We miss our neighbors dearly!!!!!)

Cheryl--I know you check the blog...please move to PA?

It was a nice day and Maya loves the swing this spring

Little Cailin is growing up and is so beautiful!

Wrestling like brothers

GOT FISH?

Well, today marks an important day in our little boys life. Bryan caught his first fish ever this morning! He caught a keeper and reeled it in HIMSELF as per Daddy. Daddy is as proud of Bryan as Bryan is of Bryan. The fish was a rainbow trout and was very yummy. That was the only fish they caught today. None for Daddy... beginners luck I guess:)

Our PROUD boys

Bryan let Daddy do the filet part.

Upclose shot...GOOD JOB SON!

Easter 08

Bryan loves Freddy Jones...the driver of the Mystery Machine on Scooby Doo.

These pictures are out of order. I do not know how to change that on my MAC...

Easter morning, the kids woke up to a toddler egg hunt...most eggs were on the steps 

Bryan was WAY into the bunny this year

Bless little Maya, she loves chocolate so much

The bunny was smart not to give the kids ALL candy...

They got baskets everywhere they went on Easter. They got cards. They got baskets from NJ. Our house is full of baskets:)

See? More baskets at Nanny and Poppy's

The kids after Easter Mass

Dying Easter eggs last week

Kids and Visitors

All is well here. We are still unpacking and tired of it!

Recently, we had out of town visitors. Bryan and Maya had some fun playdates!

I made this AWESOME track for Bryan last week

I am posting this to show you what Maya does when she is refusing her afternoon nap...

She strips and removes all items from her crib...

...then laughs at Mommy!

Maya, Matthew, Bryan, Erin, and Colin playing with Moonsand...making a big old messy MESS!

They dressed up

Erin is a cute Thomas

They had a parade of dress-up Halloween style

Matthew made a cute Dumbo but I missed that shot
