Family Gathering at Our House!

We couldn't be more happy to have a few Connelly's, Lawler's, and Herrley's over! And Mi-Ma and Aunt Fran! We are most tickled to have John back home from his studies in Europe and graduated! What a guy! We are so proud of him! It was fun looking at a few of his pictures, too! Now, John and Tommy are on their next adventures backpacking. They are starting in Chile... in only 10 days! 




Aunt Fran is behinding Sue... that silly, Aunt Fran!  I didn't have my good camera, so I didn't catch it until I downloaded the pics.  Sorry, Aunt Fran! It was soooo wonderful to see you, though!


LOVE these times with family!

Memories in the Making!

One word for this pic - STINKERS! Gosh... I just want to kiss their stinker cheeks all day!
So, we have lots of fix-up projects going on at the house! New doors... faucets, etc. Jay has been so kind to help Mike and I! We are almost getting it all done! Whew!

The twin's "treasures" they dug up in the dirt!

Mi-Ma hugs and kisses are always the best!


Our little Superlady!

 William always wants to play baseball!

Our tshirts came in for Jayen! We love you, buddy!

Our preschool growing project!


A couple of cute pics from daycare!



Buds!

Love this smile!

And while we had a work day at school this past Monday, we all actually got to sit for an hour and go out to lunch... Yes! This is my team posing in the Corona cut-outs! We definitely entertain ourselves! 

Then, Jeff, Nikki, and I... my 2nd grade team, hosted a mid-year party! Yes... it's the end of April, but that is when we could get into this beautiful establishment! It's called Bella Terre... and it is gorgeous!

I'm so lucky to have such amazing co-workers.  So glad Mike could get off work to join us a little earlier! And a big thanks to Mi-Ma and Aunt Fran for babysitting!






Mike and I are in the back left! It's just soooo gorgeous there!

 Kim... in the middle... is the one who owns this winery! She use to be Nikki and I's long term subs while we were on maternity leave.  She subbed a bunch for others as well... she is a rock star! Love her to pieces!


And as this post of hodge podge pictures comes to a close... I'm ending it with 2 of my favorite pictures I found of the twinners from a few years ago! They truly are our whole world!

Happy Easter 2014!

We had a beautiful Easter with family! What an incredible day of going to Mass... Easter Egg Hunts... great food... and great times!

A really cute Mass recap story: The twins were showing us what station of the cross was when Jesus fell for the second time... they are learning so much from St. C.  We talk about it too, but now they are being extra smarties!


 My new favorite picture of Mi-Ma with William and Mallory!

The next few pictures were actually taken first. The twinners were up at 6 am ready to go find eggs!



 
The twin's Easter baskets!

 William and Mallory even told us that they heard "hops" in the night! LOVE!

I also LOVE that the Lawler kids and Loftus kids are ready for Halloween on Easter! These cute kids just make me SMILE!



William with his Godmommy!

Looking for eggs... and look what we saw?  A bunny! How appropriate!

Daddo!

This group is so special to us!


William always sneaks a hug in... and wants to hold Joey!

My Godson, Joey! He can't get any bigger! He is such a doll baby!

Both Godparents, with Joe Joe! So glad to see Tommy Bob home again!

My Mommy is the BEST!

Kelly and her Mommy... Gma Sue!

Besties forever!

Tommy is always playing with the kids... what a wonderful, young man... and he cooked most of the dinner! Delicious!
Thanks for hosting, Lawler's and Connelly's! What a terrific day!!!!!!!! And thank you for Mallory and William's new soccer ball and football! You guys spoil us!
