My Rachel is 13!!!

My lovely niece turned 13 last week :) Here are some pics from her party...

First we had a girls only dinner at Guzzardo's - yummmm...






Yes my hair is dark again - well...for now :)

Then back to grandma's house for cake...



So grown up...


Hmmm - why is Wyatt sitting in the middle of all the girls? omg...

just a few more pics from the summer

They competed in their first triathlon... great job boys!!!
...and Wyatt got to go to a birthday party in a limo!!
We had lots of fun in the sun...


...and finally their first day of school - Wyatt's first day of 6th grade and Dylan's first day of 8th :):) (they look a little sleepy dont they?)

summer 2008

I haven't posted on here for a long time - time flies, as usual... here are some photos from this summer - I'm going to try to be more consistent with posting stuff. The boys have started football again, baseball is over - hard to believe July is almost over!


Here are Dylan and Cavan after their hunter safety class at the Park Districk in Lincoln - they both passed the test with flying colors!!! It wasn't easy - it was a 10 hour class with a 50 question test at the end... good job boys!!

Here I am the day we got home from Dekalb...

And these are pictures from our 4th of July...










Last but not least - a few photos from baseball...why is it the older they get, the less the smile for mom and the camera? LOL

Wyatt's End of Season Hockey Party 04/26/08

Here are a few pics and some video from Wyatt's End of Season Hockey Party. Wyatt was so happy he got his first patch this year - a playmaker award! :)

I tried to get the kids together for one last team picture - but after they saw the cake they pretty much scattered and the only pic I could get was one last one of the coaches :) Thanks for a great year guys!

I didn't get all of the presentation of part 4 - here is where they called Wyatt up and gave him his photo of the team - the part I didn't get was Mitch describing Wyatt on the ice - he said Wyatt was so full of energy that sometimes he seemed to be vibrating on the ice.... LOL I thought that was pretty cute :)

December 15, 2007

The boys had hockey games in St. Louis today - Wyatt at St. Peters and Dylan in Webster Groves - between games we enjoyed a nice lunch at Fitz's in University City - one of our favorites places that bottles their own soda! Here are the boys enjoying ice cream soda's. Yummmm!


After Dylan's game we found an outdoor skating rink in Forrest Park - it was snowing lightly and they were playing Christmas music - it was great! Here is a link to the rink Steinberg Rink it was really cool.


Took this while the zamboni was clearing the ice - it looks empty but there were a lot of people there :)

Fall Colors 2007

Dylan took a few pictures on their way home from school - the trees were so pretty!
