Lia in all her cuteness.

On the last day of school this year, St. Pat's had a field day.  Every kid got a colored shirt and each color was a team with kids from every grade.  This is the second grade class posing nicely.

Being silly.

Becca's class.

Patrick's team.

 Patrick pretending to be the Statue of Liberty only with
 water.

This is k through 5th grade.  I love this picture.

Thank you to all those who took these pictures at Field Day, especially Kara Kaminski.  With the two little ones, I couldn't be there to join the fun but I'm so grateful to you all for sharing.

St. Louis

We also journeyed to St Louis this May to witness our Godson and nephew make his First Holy Communion. We failed to get any pictures of the event but got a bunch of stuff at the zoo.

The kids loved the cobra statue.

Everyone loved the elephants.

Snack time!

Lia had a blast hanging out in the backpack.

I have no idea what I'm doing.

 The boys found a cave.

Becca found her way in as well.

Another realistic statue.

Becca did not have the best day at the zoo.  This picture was taken after falling down a steep hill.

 

Thanks to Dan and Teresa for hosting us and inviting us to celebrate with them Gabe's big day.

Kindergarten "Graduation"

This was the last week of school for the big kids.  Becca's teacher had a "graduation" for the kids and I remembered the camera.

Each kid read a speech they wrote to thank everyone.  Becca thanked her teacher, her parents, and the lunch ladies.

Little Lia being big.

I love the look on her face.

Hugs!

 Some of the girls decided to have a picture together.  I'm thinking this pose will happen again in about 10 years only with "cold drinks" in their hands.

It was a nice little celebration complete with cupcakes.  More pictures coming!

Preschool Picnic

George finished up his first year of schooling with a picnic at the park.  Here he is with Ms. Keck, his wonderful teacher.

Our friend Mary looking beautiful, as always.

Teddy going down the slide.

Now its George and Brady's turn.

Don't forget Lia.  She's a big girl.

She loves to swing.

 Did you know she can climb too?

Mariah helpled spot Lia as she climbed the "rock" wall.

 

Petra on the swing.

Back to the shelter for a snack and some end of the year paperwork.

Here is the whole class together.  What a good bunch of kids.

Let's not forget the silly picture.

George had a blast at school but we're not so sure what he learned.  I love this group of kids and hope they continue at St. Pats.
