Been a while

I know it's been a while since I blogged...life has been crazy and I've been sick the past week. Yesterday I had absolutely no voice, I was reduced to a mere hoarse whisper. In any case, I'll be posting later when Krista is napping lots of photos.

Eventful neighborhood lately

What a busy neighborhood lately. The other night, Allie woke up to screaming outside. By the time Bob woke me up, there were about 6 firetrucks and a gazillion cops. There was smoke pouring out of the back of the house across the street.

It was hard to sleep with all the lights and commotion outside. All day yesterday, there were the fire marshalls, the sheriff's dept, the electric company. It was so noisy!!

This morning, after the kids got on the bus and we came inside, there was an accident at the corner (not my corner, but Rt 88 and Bay). One car got crashed up pretty good.

Yeah, I hope that's all the excitement for a while.

A Day or Two at the Beach

Daddy took the kids to the beach last Monday and we all went on Tuesday. It was a blast!! Enjoy the pics :)

Bike Riding Frenzy

The kids are totally crazy about bike riding. We are trying to get Krista used to wearing a helmet (no pressure LOL) as I am getting a bike with a seat for her on Monday :) :) Well, she was prancing around wearing Alaina's helmet (which is like an orca whale) and she just looks so precious. Ignore the dirty face, she just came in for a diaper change and I quickly snapped pics before I realized her face was dirty.

Enjoy!

Now onto the kids

They are so goofy lately :)

More Pics

Here's some more

Reception pics

I'll be adding pics in several posts as to upload a bunch is taking too long.

So, yesterday was Shari and Rob's wedding. Here are the pics we took. The ceremony was on the beach :)

First Holy Communion

This past Saturday, May 3rd, at a 10am Mass, Angelina made her first Holy Communion. It was a beautiful mass, and she looked beautiful!!! Here are some pictures...I have a couple of videos that I took with my camera, and once they are uploaded, I'll put them on. I also have to take the other pictures off of Bob's camera.

Handmade Dresses

I finally finished Allie's dress...she loves it so much. I knit a dress for Krista and Allie...all the girls want one, so I need to get to work. Enjoy the pictures :)

Finally Feeling Better

Well, we are finally feeling better. I have been sick for two weeks, first it was thought I had gall bladder issues, but I ended up with pneumonia. Matt also has strep, so both of us have been on our antibiotics for the week. We were both miserable, having fevers that we couldn't keep away.

The kids are good...we are finishing up the spring break. Hartley is starting on Monday with tutoring Anna in math as she is really struggling. Hopefully this will help her.

Here is a cute picture of Krista in her pony tails...isn't she cute?

Yet more pics of the kids

Fun Outside

Here are some great pics of the kids playing outside.

Dressy Children All around me

We had a wonderful Easter, going out to brunch with my dad and Deb, my brothers, family...it was a nice day. The children looked so beautiful in their new clothes, we even got Matthew out of the sweatpants. In the picture, we had just gotten home from church and they wanted to go to grandma's, so they weren't very happy, but you'll get to see how big they are all getting.


We also went shopping for Angelina's dress, veil, and shoes for her first Holy Communion. The first dress she tried on was the ONE. I snapped a photo in the store and she is so beautiful!!! Enjoy!

Socks Socks Socks

I have been super crazy knitting socks. I love socks!!!! Thanks to my lovely best friend Michelle, who helped me through the turning of the heel, I've knit 2 complete pairs. The first is made out of brown Vanna's Choice acrylic yarn. Normally, I'm a yarn snob LOL and I work with more natural fibers, but for an acrylic, this is an awesome yarn. The other pair I knit out of cotton that I hand dyed last summer. They match a shirt I just got last week :)

Yum Yum Yum

I've discovered the secret to great tasting chocolate chip cookies...they are so good, even Uncle Johnny eats them and even complimented me on them. My stepmom said they were like cookies you get in a bakery, the kids say they are the best cookies in the world, and my hubby, God love him, said they are the best he's ever had. Don't they look YUMMY!!!
