Field Day

I was so excited to be able to go and see the cherubs have fun on their Field Day this year!

They had a beautiful day filled with fun...

LAX

We are proud parents of a first time Lacrosse player this season! I'm pretty sure Alex has found his niche and is loving every.single.minute of it!! Here are some fav shots...

#7...it's the perfect number!

Late for School

Even though I am ridiculously late with this post...I had to do it just to document that yes, my cherubs DID begin school this August!! We had a very rough start to school with Chloe-girl and honestly, we are still not yet back to normal. BUT this first day of school was good and I'm posting these sweet picts to remember that fact...

Alex started 3rd grade...

Chloe started 1st grade...

My life, my heart...

With all the neighborhood kids at our bus stop...

(don't ask me what's wrong with the poor girl on the far left)

Watching and waiting...

Alex's best friend, Christopher...goofy boys!

Alex turns 8!!

It's hard to believe my "baby" is 8 years old...wow, they are kidding about time flying! At the end of an awesome week at Camp...we celebrated Alex's 8th Birthday with family and friends. All Alex wanted to do was EAT and play in the STREAM...and that's what we did. Rocks State Park was perfect for that...we had a nice cookout, opened presents, played in the stream and had bday cupcakes right before the sky opened up and it POURED rain down on us!! It was definitely a Birthday to remember...we love you sweet boy and our hearts are full of thanksgiving to God whenever we think of you!! xoxo Happy Birthday!!

Alex and his buddies...

Cousins and friends...

All the kids in the stream...it was delightful, I even went in to play!!! :D

All Star Boy

We were thrilled to pieces when we heard Alex was 1 of 2 boys chosen from his baseball team to play in the Fallston All Star game at the end of the season. He had a fun 1st season and we had a blast watching and cheering for him too!! :)

my heart...my world...

Take me out

to the ball game...

We just signed Alex up for rec. baseball this weekend!  It's hard to believe we're on our way to the spring season...actually, I can't wait!  I endure winter so that I can enjoy spring and summer!  

How about y'all?  Any signs of thawing in your neck of the woods?  What WARM thing are you most looking forward to this spring??

Whoohoo, here's to thinking Happy and WARM thoughts!!!  :D

Alex's 7th Birthday Bash

It was a beautiful Saturday for Alex's party, PTL! We had a wonderful time with family, neighbor friends, school friends and church friends...we are so blessed. The kids had a BLAST together and overall the party was a success...enjoy some of my fav shots! :)
